Veranda Café - LEDYARD

The food was served cold, and the speck was burnt. The English muffins for the eggs Benedict were stale.

The food is good, and the prices are reasonable, but the service leaves something to be desired. I need to update my review because they had the best breakfast buffet, but they've since discontinued it, and they now close early in the afternoon. If only they would bring back the breakfast buffet; it was always crowded and well-loved.

I visited this restaurant last weekend and had a terrible experience. I waited half an hour to be seated, only to find that more than half of the tables were open and dirty. The service was extremely slow, and the food was disappointingly mediocre. I ordered the corned beef hash, and it tasted more like salmon than corned beef. I definitely won’t be returning.

Definitely noticeable that they just don’t have enough staff. Being the only “open” sit down place on a Monday means a good chunk of people are going to come and they are just not equipped for it. There’s a line and there are empty tables inside but it’s clearly because one waiter can only do so much. Food was not good. Eggs and toast can’t really mess up but the beef hash tasted like fish the Hash browns also tasted like fish. It was like everything that was cooked was cooked in a pan that was used for fish. Not very pleasant after having a nice party the night before….. took forever to get the check which again understaffed but still . And then took forever to get the check. Took a long time to get asked if we needed anything else like that extra coffee and water that you need during your meal.

We went there and it was so crowded one time but we didn't mind they were short staffed which is understandable especially during the pandemic. The waiter kept saying he was very sorry for our wait which was nice. Our breakfast came and it was very good. When it came time to pay the check he came over and said you folks have been patient, kind and this breakfast is on me. Have a lovely day. We tipped him very well. That's was superb costumer service.
