Weve been coming here for years and it's still my favorite breakfast place. Added a side of sausage gravy to my breakfast sandwich today and had to be one of the best breakfasts ive had in a while.
I would put this Irish Bennie w/Homemade Hash up against anybody else's Irish Bennie on the Seacoast. Superb!
Great food and staff. Reasonably priced. Comforting feel of and old diner. Sat at the counter next to strangers but by the end of meal had made new friends. People were friendly.
Good food, kind servers, clean, no thrill breakfast restaurant. I've had breakfast here for more then 10 times now. Reasonable prices.
What a delightful place next door to the Exeter Amtrak station. This small cafe is a mom-and-pop style shop with delicious staples like corn beef hash, omelettes, and eggs Benedict. Frequented by locals and visitors alike, this cafe is a gem, still seeped in the charm of diners of yore. Service is warm and inviting: as soon as you walk in, you are made to feel right at home. Old train schedules adorn the walls, reminding you of railway history from decades ago. Trackside Cafe is a must-visit if you find yourself in Exeter!
Great diner food at an affordable price with a location and menu that’ll surprise you with innovated cuisine options!
Stopped in for breakfast while camping up here. It's a small hole in the wall sort of place but they had great service, a good selection, and the food was tasty. Also pricing was really reasonable, all three of us had breakfast for under 30$
Do not let location deter you when you walk in. Yes, it is connected to a market. There are tables out back, more than just the stools visible from the door. Server was very, very nice and efficient. Service was quick. Food was very, very good. I had Irish Benedict with added spinach. Beans are sooo goods! Ask for the homemade corned beef - awesome! Will definitely come back when in the area~
Classic hometown diner vibes with friendly staff and affordable breakfast options. Definitely worth a stop in if you're in the area.
I recently dined at Trackside Cafe in Exeter, NH, on a Saturday morning at 8:00 am, and it was a great experience. I had the "Irish" Benedict with homemade corned beef hash, which was excellent. The hash, cooked to a perfect crisp as requested, was flavorful and paired beautifully with perfectly poached eggs and a rich, homemade hollandaise sauce. My daughters, aged 10 and 7, enjoyed their pancakes immensely. The Mickey Mouse chocolate chip pancake and the regular chocolate chip pancake were both large and satisfying, with the kids happily finishing every bite. The service was prompt and friendly, with only a brief five-minute wait to be seated. The hostess and wait staff were welcoming and efficient, enhancing our dining experience. Trackside Cafe’s atmosphere is charmingly low-key, offering a classic diner vibe with a unique twist—it's located inside a convenience store. The space is cozy, with just a few tables and a long counter with additional seating. The total bill for our breakfast came to just $23.48, plus a $5 tip. Overall, Trackside Cafe delivered great food, attentive service, and a pleasant ambiance at an excellent value. I’m looking forward to returning soon!
