This Week's Counter: Peggy's Lunch Box

Peggy's is a tiny place attached to a really old motel in Northfield. .This place is hard to find and little-known -- without a web site and no other publicity, you just have to know about it or know someone who does.  We drove down on a late Saturday morning, and found the place very busy, but with plenty of seats at the fairly large counter. Lots of families and people that seemed to be regulars -- the staff seemed to know a lot of people by name.

We were warmly greeted by the servers -- all the staff, including the cook at the grill right behind the counter, were women.  We got drinks and ordered -- breakfast sandwich for Cam and veggie omelet and coffee for Ted.  Chatted with the cook while waiting for the food, which didn't take very long.  Everything was excellent -- perfectly cooked, really tasty, and not greasy at all.  Coffee was just average, but everything else more than made up for it.

As did the price -- incredibly reasonable for an excellent experience and great food.  If you go, take cash -- no cards accepted.  We strongly recommend this one -- not fancy, but well-run and great value for the money.  Go here!

            

                 

Cam says: "Comfortable counter, incredible service and food quality, but the atmosphere left something to be desired.  I'll give it 9 frying pans."

Ted says: "A hidden gem -- wouldn't have thought this would be stand-out place. Awesome food and great service.  9 pans from me too.."
