Hobo's Cafe — Restaurant in Brighton

We came on the day of the eclipse, when hordes of folks from out of state descended on this small town. The folks running the restaurant were wonderful. We waited a while for the table as the kitchen was overwhelmed, but we expected that (and had nothing to do but wait for the solar show anyway!). The staff were SO nice to our group of 7 (the 4 kids sat at their own table). The food was EXCELLENT. I had a delicious breakfast sandwich, the kids loved their pancakes, the bacon was cooked perfectly, and all of the members of my party loved their food. The owner was friendly and continuously made sure everyone was happy and the bathrooms were clean (they were! so clean!). All in all, this was a great place to eat full of lovely people in a delightful and friendly town. Highly recommend, and we will be back next time...

Do yourselves a favor - take a beautiful drive through Vermont to Island Pond and visit Hobo's for "to...

I ordered two blueberry pancakes with home fries, they asked me if I wanted onions in my home fries and I said yes. When they showed up they did not have any onions and they had so much salt on them that after taking three bites I started to develop a migraine from the amount of salt loaded on them. Unfortunately for myself they placed said home fries directly under my blueberry pancakes on tbh plate so that when I went for a bite of my pancake they were also extremely salty to the point that I could not eat the lower pancake that had been touching the home fries. So for $14+ I ended up with one blueberry pancake, an order of bacon that was so very oily, and a lackluster...
