The Countrie Eatery

Visiting family in Dover DE for the weekend and decided to try Countrie Eatery for Saturday breakfast and found the food was good, not great. I ordered a short stack of pancakes and did enjoy them with butter and syrup. My partner tried the hash browns with a toasted English muffin finding the potatoes had a strange taste to them, thinking it might have been paprika, not sure, he was not happy with the flavors. Our sister ordered Eggs Benedict, and seemed to enjoy the fish. Overall, average food with very good service.

We like local places. The Countrie Eatery is a cut above places like Bob Evan’s and IHOP but it’s not epic. Our breakfast was generally well made. The eggs were cooked properly and the home fries were excellent. Unfortunately, my wife chose the blueberry muffin as a bread and it was rock hard on the bottom. On the positive side, there are options coffee and service were excellent. We saw a blueberry waffle on our way out that I would order next. It’s a good breakfast in a nice location.

We went in with high hopes, and not all of them were met. It's great to be able to get breakfast at any time, but I was not as thrilled with it as I thought I would be. My wife also had the seafood sampler, baked. Crab cake was watery, the scallops and shrimp did not look very good and tasted just okay. The house muffin was delicious. The crowd definitely skews older, and the server was pleasant but may have been a bit overworked as it did take a while for her to show up on occasion. I think I might want to try their meatloaf in the future.

Visited here while on vacation and staying at the Dover Hotel and Casino. Because of where we were staying, it was nice to have a little change of pace for one evening with a nice quiet little dinner here at The Countrie Eatery. The food was good comfort country style food and was at just the right size portion to fill you up. The service was good. The waitress was nice but was maybe handling too many tables, not her fault, but didn't go unnoticed. There is not a big selection for dessert, but the pie was good and definitely tasted homemade. Overall, this restaurant experience deserves the 4 stars that I rated it at, and you should give it a try. If I'm ever in town again, I would go back.

The Countrie Eatery lives up to its moniker. It feels like a 30 Big Mamas came together to make you breakfast wrapped in a hug with a sprinkle of love. On Sunday’s the lines can be long, but the service was delightful and the food was pretty good.
