My overall experience at the Gen House Cafe in Lebanon, ME was great. The food was amazing (I had 2 pieces of French Toast with Strawberries and whipped cream). The French toast is made from bread that is thicker then Texas toast bread (or in a restaurant French toast bread). Not sure where they get this bread or if it's made in house, but the combo of the bread being so thick and whatever they put in their French toast batter will blow your mind. I've had a lot of different French toast's from a lot of different restaurants and I've gotta say the Hen House Cafe makes a 8 out of 10 on the Strawberry French toast.

She said she was going to take our orders too, but at that time it was way too late! We had sat for a half hour or more! Our breakfast did have a happy ending tho, we went to another restaurant and had a wonderful breakfast The waitresses were very friendly and the...
Read moreRecommended to me by my best bro, so we met up to have breakfast. As someone with gluten intolerance, I usually have a plan whenever visiting these types of down home diners: eggs, bacon, home fries, just warn the server ahead of time. Instead, after informing the server of my restrictions, I received the best news I could ever hear in a down home diner: our server also had gluten intolerance, and the cooks already knew how to cook for her; they had gluten-free English muffins, and their baker also makes GF muffins (check availability.) This opened up all the Eggs Benedict options, my one weakness. The shaved steak Benedict caught my eye. And I was not disappointed.
The staff was friendly and quirky, excellent experience; cannot wait...
