141/351: Newbury

Mad Martha's

Tiny, super cute spot. Tasty food. 

"Yay!" 

140/351: Reading

Half & Half

Non traditional Hollandaise kinda ruins the dish. Hash itself was decent. Also, server never asked which potatoes. I wanted home fries. No, I shouldn't have to ask afterwards.

"Nay!" 

139/351: Georgetown

Cafe Sarina

No actual table service. Order at the counter and they'll bring out the food. 

Hollandaise was bland. I found it odd to have tomato slices under the hash. 

Potatoes are the frozen, pour out of a bag type.

"Nay!" 

138/351: Stoneham

Pignone's

Good hash, Hollandaise was okay, a little dull, but, thicker than many others and no over lemon taste. 

One quibble, which is actually a bigger deal than you'd expect...but, the homefries were Not hot and actually a couple pieces were cold. At least they were in house cut potatoes.

Despite the chilly spuds, I'll give it a "Yay!" 

137/351: Andover

Shawsheen Luncheonette

Cute spot, decent food, hot coffee. 

"Yay!" 

136/351: Topsfield

Bagel Bin Deli

Hollandaise was rather bland. Homefries had that orange tinge generic spice and were room temp at best. 

"Nay!" 

135/351: Boxford

Boxford Community Kitchen

This was a last minute change from initial plan. I actually called to check how late they serve breakfast. 1200, Noon. We were barely going to make it. Woman on the phone was willing to put in an order as long as I promised to show up... Of course! 

2 eggs bene came out within a couple minutes. 

Hollandaise is pretty good. Eggs were a little stiff.(I'm sure they'll do soft poach if ordered). So, I'll cut them a credit especially for being so polite. Unfortunately, the home fries don't get a free pass, frozen potatoes.. Yuck 🤮 

Cute spot with some outdoor seating. Coffee was good and they have WiFi.

So, I'll overlook the home fries since overall it's a nice spot for chow..."Yay."
