Reid's Corner — Restaurant in Hampden

Upon entering Reid's Corner it looked like there were two types of seating to choose from; bar- or booth-styles. For a big person like myself booths are normally naot my style because of said spacing between the back of the booth & the edge of the table can be less than generous more often than not. Until I spotted a hallway leading to another room with tables & more booths & I asked for a table with no objections.

Their three page menu had a lot to choose from. From omelets to breakfast bowls to biscuits & gravy ("breakfast bowl" -think of the "toppings" in the bottom of a pasta bowl with your eggs, the way you like them [I like mine over-easy] on top) with your choice of toast (white, wheat or rye). "Bottomless" coffee is 3 bucks extra & for a slight up charge, you also can get biscuits or a muffin or " toast" replacement offers; except pancakes (there is no side or "stack" sizes of pancakes offered, which is strange for a breakfast place). There is also biscuits & gravy, corned beef hash & other combinations of egg-style dishes to choose from.

Reid's Corner also serves up lunch if you are not a breakfast person, as well.

Overall the atmosphere, friendliness & attentive of the waitress staff, cleanliness of the restroom, were 5-stars. But it can get pricey with all the upgrades they offer since sit down & serve breakfast places in that general area of Massachusetts are scarce.

However, I cannot wait to go back & try Reid's version of biscuits & gravy & their take on an Irish Bowl, not to mention trying them for lunch in the near...

I had to wait for about 5 mins which is not bad at all for the seating here, but when I sat down it was all wet. Then my hand touched a soggy straw wrapper on the seat and it was really gross. Next I was talking to my friend and they saw I had a piece of lettuce stuck on my hand. I decided to get the apple pie pancake and they ran out of apples so I had to get blueberry. The apple ones only came with 2 pancakes but the blueberry ones on the menu are supposed to come with 3, and they charged me the same price but I got one less pancake. The pancakes were very good and you could taste the blueberries. The home fries were also good until my friend pointed out that there was a curly hair in them. My friend got a chicken caesar wrap with French fries. It was okay but it lacked the Caesar dressing but the fries were good. Also they asked the people next to us if the food was good but they didn't ask us. The food was not very pricey which is good. The customer service was not bad at all and at the very end my friend forgot her phone and the waiter ran out to the parking lot to go give it to her. I would not recommend you to eat here...

We stopped here to have breakfast. We put our name in stating that we don't mind sitting inside or outside. We were told it would be 20-25 minutes. Ok, no problem. Mind you, there were 2 open tables outside. We stood outside watching everyone get sat counting down the people before us until we were next. The two tables outside were still open. After standing there for 30 minutes we see another couple walk in and get sat immediately at one of the open tables outside. We just brushed it off. Then after now standing outside for an hour another couple went in and was sat immediately outside at the other open table. This is when we decided to leave and NEVER come back to this resteraunt. The organization and consideration for their customers is lack there of. We will spend our...
