Back Country Cafe - KILLINGTON

We waited quite a bit and boy was it worth it. My grandmother said it was some of the best pancakes she's had in her life. I really enjoyed my beligan waffle with strawberrys.

Everything seems to be made from package, not scratch. Pancakes were rubbery, biscuit had the taste of old cooking oil on the grill. Waitress was courteous and attentive.

Boy did I want to like this place more than I did. I read such glowing reviews and I love good diners. Diner food is generally a simpler food to cook professionally. I say this as a former Executive Chef with numerous decades under my belt. I have cooked my fair share of breakfast food. It's an easy food to do as long as you make sure of a few things like: most people like crispy home fries and most people like toast actually toasted. We ordered 4 dishes for 3 of us. WE got an extra plate of corned beef hash because we love it. Corned beef was only ok. If you go to the trouble to make homemade make it great, not good. My egg sandwich was good but the English Muffin was not toasted. I know the menu says they cook it on a griddle but they barley did that. For my son not to eat his burrito is weird at first I thought maybe he died then I took a bite. It tasted weird. My wife's breakfast was only ok. Maybe it was an off day for the kitchen. The whole staff seemed really nice and amazing.

Food was ok. The ambiance was ok. Service was nice, but slow and they made a small error on the check.

The omelettes were amazing, the coffee was good the menu was varied, staff was kind and friendly. The setting was nice the interior was open and appealing. It couldn’t have been more convenient. And I was really hungry and went away totally satisfied.
