The past two summers we have spent a lot of time in the Bath, New York area visiting our daughter Amanda her husband Steve and the most precious twins I know. Each visit we try and go to new places in that area. There is so much to do and see in the area, tons of vineyards, the Corning Museum of Glass and many state parks with some incredible views. We also try and find popular restaurants in the area.
Chat-a-Whyle is located at 28 Liberty Street in Bath, N.Y. For a very small town restaurant, this place has so much to offer and is open daily for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Before we went we had heard that the restaurant had just changed owners and some of the locals were worried the quality may not be as good but we went with an open mind and a hungry belly. The one item that was talked about by everyone we spoke with was their sticky buns. Needless to say, we ordered the sticky bun right away! This bun has a little crisp on the outside, tender and so sweet on the inside. We learned just after one bite why the locals love those sticky buns and why they run out of them!
That was an amazing way to start breakfast. Next, Jim had two eggs, sausage, and hash browns. This is certainly a simple and expected dish but everything was cooked just right and Jim had no problem cleaning his plate. I also had a very simple and expected dish. I had the banana nut pancakes. They were huge and perfectly golden delicious. I could not come close to finishing them!
Chat-a-Whyle has a great menu not only for breakfast but for lunch and dinner too. They even have a Sunday dinner special that has a main course and two sides. Sunday looks like a great place to have dinner with items on the menu like prime rib, roast stuffed turkey or their seafood platter. I should also mention they have a children’s menu and desserts that include homemade pies and cakes. If the pies and cakes are as amazing as their sticky buns you will want to leave room for them!
Although the food was all delicious and those amazing sticky buns won’t be forgotten either will the service and atmosphere. From the moment we walked in we felt like old friends and family with not only the people working there but with other guests. Our waitress was very friendly and while talking with her she asked where we were from and when we told her New Hampshire everyone in our area dining started sharing their favorite places to go in the area. It was such a fun breakfast chatting with all the locals and dining on some delicious food. What a great way to start our day.
Just down the road from Chat-a-Whyle is a park with water fountains and the beautiful church. There is a lot of history in this area with so much to see and do. If you find yourself in the Bath, NY area be sure to stop at Chat-a-Whyle and visit the vineyards, museums and state parks. Niagara Falls is about two hours from the Bath area so don’t forget to stop there in your travels. You can find the full menu and all of Chat-a-Whyle specials on their Facebook page.
