Unique spot to grab breakfast or lunch with the family. Friendly staff and great for kids as there’s plenty to entertain them. Prices are also very reasonable for sit-down service.
Going here mid December was delightful for me. The recommendation of this restaurant had me curious so I wanted to make it before they close up for the season .. On my way there I wondered about the wait list but I arrived around noon and my party of 3 were greeted pleasantly and seated almost right away. Could have been immediately but my husband had to find parking. The restaurant was full but not many folks were waiting it seems. The table aren't very spacious but it was OK( I've seems worst for 4ppl) Our server came as we were seated, he was bery pleasant , and upbeat. Our food didn't take long either. I like the barn atmosphere, very nice country vibe. The maple influence almost everything was interesting. My avocado toast was ok, but not my favorite. Not sure I'd try it again with maple syrup.. The pull pork Benedict was enjoyed and the eggs and pancake was good too. I loved my egg nog latte! I could easily take another cup but with all maple this and that and opted to stick to 1 cup . Bathrooms were so clean , all staff I encountered was professional. Price was decent . I would definitely go back here , it clearly a hit spot.
Nostalgic Restaurant in the rustic woodland setting. Truly a hidden gem. The ride is a nice ride to the dirt lot, handicap parking isn’t easy. There is a wait for tables, just long enough to go walk over to the gift shop. Our server Sarah was cheerful and helpful. Service quick and reliable. The corned beef hash was a big bowl with lots of tasty meat. The breakfast potatoes were seasoned and cooked to a crisp with soft potato inside. The english muffin was a golden grilled delicious delight. The Maple Glazed Ribs were tender, no fat, sweet maple glaze and perfect bite off the rib. The Hot Chocolate was a creamy rich cup that was smooth milky chocolate goodness. Try Parkers’s or go back if you haven’t been recently. Open all year except for a short Christmas break.
We went on a Sunday morning. The wait was about 40 minutes to sit. I really hate to wait and we didn't order anything sensational where I could say "you have to come here and get this thing." What I appreciate most was the interior of the building. Warm tones and wood all around. You'll feel like you're in a barn or cabin. Big points for perfect eggs. They serve scrambled eggs the way I make them at home. I swapped potatoes for beans which was a good choice. Beans were good. If you order coffee or tea, they'll leave the pot at the table. The maple syrup is real and you get two mini bottles. Service is kind and friendly. They have a junk store on site where you can pass the time while you wait to be seated.
This restaurant is a real New England treasure. The food is excellent and the portions are generous. The menu is interesting, with many special offerings. The atmosphere inside is fantastic. The restaurant is now (November) decorated for the holidays and looks especially warm and cozy. The location is set in a classic rural New Hampshire location, on a winding road.
I’d received so many recommendations to check out Parker's Maple Barn in Mason, NH, so I finally had to see what all the hype was about! The drive up was filled with gorgeous fall views, & as soon as we arrived, I could instantly see the charm — the place has such a cozy, rustic vibe. After putting in our name, we wandered through the gift shop & couldn’t resist picking up some maple syrup & maple dark chocolates. Once seated, I loved the warm, country-style decor inside & noticed they even have outdoor seating — I can only imagine how stunning it looks once the leaves fully change. Even though we were still full from breakfast earlier, we had to try their maple bourbon affogato & latte — hands down the best affogato I’ve ever had! I also ordered an apple cider pancake (massive, fluffy, & perfectly spiced) along with some maple baked beans, which were top-notch. Definitely planning to come back soon to explore more of the menu — this spot is a true New England gem! On a funny side note, we ran into another Worcester foodie Marisa Adele who started Hole In The Wall: New England. What a small world & finally nice to meet in person.
Outstanding food and people in a great, rustic, country atmosphere. Warm smell of buckwheat pancakes and maple syrup hang in the air. Always worth the wait, arrive early!
