We drove a little further than expected from Bangor to get to Clewley’s Farm Restaurant. Let’s get this out of the way quickly. It was more than well worth the drive. To begin with, the place has the feel of being my great-grandmother’s kitchen. The smells, the décor, the fact they had molasses cookies! I felt so much at home that I was smiling before I ever saw the menu. The menu was a treat as there were many, many choices including eggs benedict, which I love. We each got a half a cup of coffee and the waiter explained he was brewing a fresh pot and would top us off as soon as it was ready. That’s the kind of thing my great-grandmother would do. I felt like I was home.
When I go out to breakfast I like to order things I am not likely to make myself. So I am not going to get scrambled eggs and bacon. I do not want food from a can, either. So if I find a place that makes a good home made corned-beef hash, I am thrilled. We each ordered the corned-beef hash. David had his eggs scrambled and I had mine poached. I often get my eggs poached when I eat out for two reasons: first, it is not likely I am going to poach eggs at home and, secondly, I have never gotten a greasy poached egg when out for breakfast. I hate greasy eggs. We were more than surprised at the wonderful, wonderful flavor of the homemade hash and the portion we received.
The coffee was very good, the home fries were like home made and the toast was from fresh bread. I am not going to say that it was as good as if my grammie had made it, but I will say that I felt right at home and was just as satisfied afterwards. I think we will be back for Sunday brunch very, very soon. I would feel very safe recommending this place for any meal, based upon this experience.
