The Cottage Restaurant — Restaurant in Hanover Township

Stopped in with my partner.

Food. We ordered a BLT+E with fries and Chicken tenders with fries. The sandwich was perfect for me. Bacon was perfectly cooked, the tomato tasted very fresh and the bread was nothing less than perfectly toasted. A strong “level 2” on the toast scale. Egg was expertly fried. Fries were available regular or crispy. Partner enjoyed the breading on the tenders as it was very similar to a traditional fried chicken breading. The BBQ was a little spicy for her but I enjoyed the heat. For dessert I had a peach crumble with a side of quality vanilla ice cream.

Service. In a world after Covid the Server was outstanding. Personable, informative. Knew the menu and specials. Quick to act and very responsive.

Atmosphere. The decor was very specific to the vision. Classic etched glass chandeliers adorned each table and the restaurant was bright and cheerful. Was a throwback to the classic American diner without being cliche. Felt very welcoming and happy. Booths were comfy and the table was almost square leaving plenty of space for the two of us. Would have been equally as spacious with a group of four.

Entire evening was outstanding. Food was incredible. Service was superb. Atmosphere was warm and soft.

I absolutely recommend The Cottage Restaurant and...

Feels just like my Grandparent’s house…I love the food and the workers. Me and my boyfriend’s absolute favorite place to eat and relax. The ladies are always so kind and considerate when you order; and they bring a welcoming atmosphere to new, and old, customers. The cooking is phenomenal. It feels like they really put their love into making it. Prices are so affordable and worth every last penny. We make sure to tip when possible. Our favorite things to order; His is the fried eggs, biscuits, and bacon. Mine is the Cobb Salad and the Belgium Waffles. If you’re looking for something comforting, decent pricing, and to engage with some very kind-hearted ladies, please come here. They’re so sweet and I adore all the things they do for me and him as customers!!! (: We will definitely stop here more often once we...

We love the mom and pop businesses, and this is no exception. The team members and customers are all nice and friendly. The atmosphere is typical of a little old school diner. But the food is very, very good. Three of us ate for 30.00 and we were very satisfied. Here is what we had biscuits and gravy, the 4X4 and a bacon omelet plate. All food was tasty and hot, bacon was just eight (though I prefer mine a little crisper/crunchier), French toast and omelet was delicious, and the diced fries were hot with just the right amount of crisp. Sorry I have no pics, but the food was so good, it didn't last. Come on down and get you something to eat. Tell em the folks from...
