T A’s Place

The single star only reflects the service, which, for my girlfriend and I, was non-​existent. We were completely ignored by the several waitresses on duty for a Sunday brunch, and I mean completely. When we entered the diner, we were the only ones waiting for a table but could see that the staff was very busy — just one table was open. We patiently waited… for 10 minutes. At this point, and after trying to get the wait staff’s attention, a few friendly diners advised us to take a seat at one of a couple uncleared tables, and that eventually someone would clear it for us. We did just that, but this move did not catch the notice of any of the servers either. Two parties who arrived after us had their tables promptly cleared and received menus. After another five minutes of this treatment, we got up and left. So after 15 minutes we weren’t greeted, seated or acknowledged. I love great diners, and I don’t mind gruff service, but in order to enjoy or tolerate both, the least you can do is point a customer to a table and throw a menu or two their way. I’ve heard this is a good diner and I’m sorry we didn’t get a chance to try it, but this kind of obliviousness to patrons is inexcusable. The one positive from this experience — we went across the road to Feather & Stone, were seated immediately, and within 20 minutes we were eating a delicious breakfast.

Okay food and the prices are very reasonable for what you get. Have had the fried egg sandwich, home fries, and French toast. The latter was by far the best, but being in maple syrup country I expect the real stuff to be everywhere. Here it was fake. Boo. Comfortable atmosphere and friendly staff. Overall, fine for a cheap meal, but I wouldn’t take visitors here.

Great food and atmosphere. We come here everytime we come up from the island hunting. Its much better than papas old dinner. If your a yankee fan this is the place for you. As a self proclaimed foodie i recommend it highly

It’s going down hill, unfortunately. Breakfast foods are ok, and I think you can get them anytime, but everything else is mostly cafeteria quality — especially the sides. They even come in cafeteria ramekins.
While it is casual, and that’s fine, this place is downright dingy, tired, and again, getting worse lately. The center runner goes right into the dining room and it’s usually filthy and the mess extends on to the linoleum tiles. Duct tape on the torn up booth seats, wood paneling, etc. It could really use a make over. Like 20 years ago.
Most of the décor is Grandma’s basement meets Yankees. Yankees theme could be cute and unique, but the execution is bad among the tired and dingy rest of the place. Also saw weird political stuff hanging in the back, which is a turnoff.
All the condiments are stored in single-​serve packs in a big ugly arrangement of plastic buckets on a cart, right by the pick up window.
This is the only (open) diner-​type place in town right now, but it feels more like you are eating in the banquet room of the fire hall. Service is usually quick and friendly.
Good for cheap-​o breakfast or BLT, grilled cheese on the quick. I wouldn’t go much beyond that.

WOW ! What a find !!! It only doesn’t get five stars because the décor is obnoxious. Cheesy cheap chachkas, cheap seating, horrible booths with sunken seats, cheap silverware and plates. EH ! But… let’s face it, the price is outrageously reasonable for such wonderful homemade food !!! Exactly the very right quantity for a hungry guy. Ordered Chicken with dumplings. HOLY COW ! What a great meal ! REAL smashed taters ! Okay… the veggies are canned and a tad overcooked… BUT THE PIE for dessert ! I had raspberry pie ! WOW ! Only maybe your granny could’ve made it… and the portion was outrageously HUGE !!! The waitress was swift and kind. My friend had calves liver with bacon and said it was outrageous. The place was packed for lunch… a great deal of locals… I agree with the other reviewer and have to laugh at the comment… yeah, the men are «men» and the sheep are scared… and may I ad that the town needs a reasonably priced dentist. Lots of «heavyweights» here and missing teeth. Overlook the décor and forget the view, or you’ll have nightmares.

TA’s rocks. You won’t find a better place to get a cheap, solid meal. Their breakfast specials are sometimes as cheap as $ 3 and usually less than $ 6. It’s not fine dining, but then again it’s Walton! Where men are men and sheep are scared.
