Blueberry Hills Farm

Great place overall with good view and fast service. We went for breakfast and the place was fairly busy. My wife got the chicken fried steak which was pretty good. Definitely recommend that. Parking was easy and I liked their outdoor seating.

One of the owners was sitting at a nearby table and she was quite nice. The food was only okay. The pulled pork sandwich was more like sliced pork, it had quite a bit of fat. There are great views from the restaurant. It was charming inside and my wife's BLT was fine. I would go back.

Large portions for French dip. Fries were super yummy. Ruben was not bad. Nice touch with the horseradish. Bought a whole homemade blueberry pie to go since it was $8/slice or $17.99 for the whole pie! Also bought 5 lbs of frozen blueberries for $10.

Second time here and the food is still really good. The views are absolutely stunning. My husband loved the sandwiches we ordered. You order at the front service from the girl with the piercing is okay.She’s not very helpful or welcoming but the other staff members are great. Definitely recommend the coconut waffle!🧇

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 Blueberry Hills Farm in Manson is hands down one of my favorite spots in the Chelan area. It’s the kind of place you go once and immediately start telling everyone you know that they have to check it out. The food is the real deal—big portions, fresh ingredients, and everything tastes homemade in the best way. Breakfast here is next-level. The pancakes are massive, especially the blueberry ones, and they don’t skimp on the berries. The omelets are packed, the bacon is perfectly crisp, and everything comes out hot and hearty. And then there’s the pie. Honestly, their blueberry pie alone is worth the trip. Sweet, fresh, and loaded with fruit—it feels like summer in every bite. But it’s not just about the food. The atmosphere is what makes Blueberry Hills special. The views are unreal—you’re surrounded by orchards, farmland, and hills that stretch out forever. Sitting on the deck with a cup of coffee, looking out over that scenery, is one of those simple moments you don’t forget. Even inside, the big windows let you take it all in. The vibe is casual and homey, like a cozy farmhouse kitchen. The staff is welcoming, the décor is charming, and there’s a laid-back feel that makes you want to stay awhile. If you’re anywhere near Lake Chelan, do yourself a favor and make the drive. Come hungry, order something with blueberries, and soak in the whole experience. You’ll leave full, happy, and already planning your next visit.

While at Lake Chelan this past weekend we went to our favorite place for Breakfast in Manson. We both had crepes, mine was with blueberries and my husband had peach. The servings were huge and very delicious. It’s a cute place, you order at the counter as you walk in, sit down at one of their tables either inside or outside on the veranda and after a short wait you food is delivered!

Pretty cool spot, but full warning …. YOU WILL HAVE A WAIT! You stand in line to order, this is where you could wait up-to an HOUR, which is how long we waited. While I stood in line I had the hubby find us a spot to sit. I orders the eggs Benny and the hubby ordered the country fried steak & blueberry muffin. The food itself was good but a bit much. For example I personally felt that there was too much hollandaise sauce which took away from the Benny. I would consider these as “shareable portions” so keep that in mind as you order. It was a bit hot the day we went so I opted NOT to go blueberry picking. Overall great place with good food.

The area was beautiful! There is always something to look at, we loved their eclectic decor! The wait was long but it was expected. We were a group of 3 and ordered the Cowboy Breakfast (usual eggs, potato, sausage) and the blueberry waffles. The wait for our food was 45min + the 30min waiting in line to order and I respectfully don't think it was worth it. The waffles were good but would've loved them thicker. We also tried their chocolate pie and it was good! Other costumers ordered burgers and they looked amazing! Would come back for lunch instead :) The staff was kind and friendly!

Stopped in for breakfast, had the Benedict- hands down the best hollandaise I've ever had! Nice and lemony (just the way I like it!) with just a touch of cayenne! The hashbrowns definitely could have been crispier- very bland. The view from the deck is beautiful! The tables were a bit dirty and the condiments on the table were super sticky- could use a bit of a clean up. Got a slice of pie to go, unfortunately it was a total let down! Seems like the crust wasn't cooked all the way- rather than a crispy flakey crust it was gooey. The edge that was actually cooked was bland and flavorless anyways- what a disappointment and waste of $8. I'll for sure be back for a meal but I'll be passing on the pies...

We got blueberry pie, eggs Benedict, and the waffles with peach. The service was fine. They deliver your food and bus your tables. You have to grab your own utensils and drinks. There are no waiters. They do ask for tip before you eat so just a heads up. The ambience is chaotic, and that's the whole appeal. There's sticks and bikes on the ceilings, and so many Christmas light. Lots of people and very loud, but that's the whole part of the experience. The food was solid. The eggs Benedict tasted yummy, and the sauce had a nice lemon flavor to it. The sauce was creamy and had lots of flavor. The potatoes were a disappointment. They seemed to be frozen and were the same quality as a sub par diner. The waffles were tasty! I liked the peach flavoring and the bacon was a standard juicy flavor. The blueberry pie was very tasty as well. The filling wasn't sweet and the crust was yummy as well. It took 35 minutes for us to order and 35 minutes to receive our food. We came at 10am on a Sunday. After 11:30am, there was no line out the door.

This is a very popular spot in Chelan, so if you want to get in, try to get there early. You order at the front and take a number then find a seat. At least two of the employees we spoke to seemed to be overwhelmed with the amount of work/people, so I do recognize that while making my review. We received the blueberry milkshake first which was nice and holy WOW it was thick. I recommend eating with a spoon. My husband then received the chicken fried steak and the runner took the # from our table. We waited about 5 minutes before telling the runner that he took our # and asked about my food. He said "give me a minute". We waited about 5 more minutes before going to the front and asking about it. The person went to the back and found it off to the side. Once I got it to my table, it had cooled down (obviously due to the wait) and it was not tasty at all. I did not like the gravy, it almost had a sweet taste to it. Chicken fried steak was average. Luckily, my partner was kind enough to switch with me. Obviously, if you want to check this place out, nobody is going to stop you: the farm is a beautiful view. I'd recommend not getting the biscuits and gravy though. We also did got a GIANT cinnamon role that was $16. I dislike cinnamon roles in general so I cannot give an honest feedback. Hubby said it was good (even though they mentioned they messed it up and it was extra gooey), but he enjoyed it.

Mixed review. This is the second time eating here and I won't be back. While the slices of coconut pie were huge, they were not flavorful. The coffee was stale and cups were chipped. Some of the food (e.g., burger and sandwich) looked huge; but I don't know how they tasted. The breakfast I had consisted of greasy pancakes and eggs. The main floor smelled badly- like sewer-ish. $12 for slice of pie.

We come here every time we come to Chelan. They are only open for breakfast & lunch. Food is good. Love the inside decor. Has a country feel to it. Food portions are generous. Very friendly staff! Did I mention the pies? To die for! Take one home! We always do!

I've been coming to Blueberry Hills for years, and while it is good, it seems it has changed in the last year or so, as some of the dishes have changed a bit. The portion sizes are very generous as always. I got the meat lovers scramble, which comes with tons of meat, which is great. However, for some reason, the onions are no longer chopped in small piece, but in huge pieces that aren't as easy to eat. Same with the bell peppers, basically cut into quarters vs chopped. The cheese was put on top but not melted in the scramble, which seemed a little odd. Love the pour your own coffee station and the cinnamon rolls are delicious. Food comes out quickly, even though they are always busy. Get there early if you don't want to stand in line to wait for a table. Beautiful views of the blueberry fields.

Really good breakfast and the off season is the time to do it! Summer is still good but the place is very busy.

Overall not a bad place. Don't be discouraged by the long line to get in. Be patient, it goes pretty quick. You can look at a menu while you wait in line. Once in the door you will place your order, get a number and sit where you would like. I got the meat lover scramble which was the best scramble I have had in a long time. My wife got blueberry crepes which were great but sugary as you would expect crepes to be. My kids both had cheeseburgers which were good sized portions with their fries. We got milkshakes to go when we left which were also good. The main downside and the only thing keeping a 5 star review from happening is the management needs to fix their delivery/accountability process for orders. I got my food, my wife got hers a few minutes later and my kids never got theirs. I had to go follow up at the front. In the 2 minutes I was following up, two other customers were there for the same issues at their tables. It's nice to see a local business doing this well, but clean up this part and it will be perfect.

This is our favorite breakfast spot when we visit Lake Chelan. Hearty servings and great food. Service was quick. They also sell homemade blueberry jams and candles to go.

My wife and I had breakfast at Blueberry Hills and thoroughly enjoyed the meal. The food and atmosphere were great. The staff is friendly and helpful. We both ordered ala carte eggs and bacon and a blueberry muffin. Everything was delicious and we will eat there again when in the area.

A group (5) of us stopped by Blueberry Hills Farm for breakfast before returning home from our stay at Chelan. Free parking can be found in the lot. Discover is an accepted form of payment. Indoor and outdoor seating is available. Large round tables accommodate large parties and create easy conversation by all seated at the table. Blueberry Hills Farm's does not offer table service at all. One must find their own table. Orders are placed, paid and pick-up from the front counter. Condiments and drinks can be found at the self-serve station. Indoors is cozy and welcoming. Blueberry products can be purchased. A single restroom causes a line. Blueberry Hills Farm's does not serve any alcohol; mimosas included. Breakfast, lunch and desserts are served. My wife ordered the Chicken Fried Steak for $17.99: hamburger/sausage gravy, 2 eggs, hashbrowns and toast. I ordered the Veggie Ma-Cha-Kah for $17.99: chopped corn tortillas, eggs, cheddar cheese, onions, bell pepper, spinach, tomato, sour cream and salsa. My daughter ordered Eggs Benedict for $18.99: 2 poached eggs, ham, English muffin and hashbrowns. My daughter's boyfriend ordered the Cowboy Breakfast for $17.99: bacon, 2 eggs, hashbowns and toast. For the road, we ordered a Blueberry and a Chocolate milkshake for $5.99 each. All of our meals were hearty and satisfying. The milkshakes were thick a delicious. The minimal interaction with the staff was friendly.

Recommended breakfast spot, located in Manson. Walk in and place your order, then find a table. It gets crowded, and be open to sharing a large table with other patrons. After you order, help yourself to soft drinks, coffee, utensils, etc. cute little gifts are located around the dining table, beautiful views from the deck. Large portions, you'll leave stuffed and likely with a to go box. Family owned and quaint, friendly and casual staff. Locals and visitors fill this sweet spot. You know you're in a hidden gem. So glad we tried it!! Get the homemade gigantic cinnamon roll. It's served warm and it's delightful!

I love coming here when I visit Lake Chelan. It is a little bit of a drive out of town but so worth the food and ambiance. Plan on a bit of a wait,but it is worth it. The charm of the restaurant and views are amazing. Each dish I have ever gotten has been amazing. For sure a place to visit, especially with limited breakfast options in Lake Chelan.

We ordered the rhubarb pie, blueberry juice and corned beef hash at the front counter. You order, pay and take a number and they bring your food. They brought my pie and juice out right away but the hash never arrived. Turns out the gal at front never took down the hash and only charged us for pie and juice which by itself was a spendy $24! She wasn't the most engaging service person to begin with (sort of indifferent) but not getting the order right was the topper. She did come out and apologize profusely though so thats part of reason I still gave this place 4 stars. While the service was sub par, the food was good and the place charming with a view from the outdoor deck that is jaw dropping!

The 3 stars are for the biscuits and gravy being amazing but they unfortunately use quick frozen deep fry potatoes that are way too salty I know hashbrowns can take a minute and be a pain but sadly what was my favorite dish to look forward too is now something I won't drive out of the way too anymore because the hashbrowns to biscuits and gravy are a big part of the meal and it's now met with frozen fries...I hope you guys switch back because the cut backs will bring the stars down overtime.

When I first few times I went there this place was fantastic.... Robert the owner even came and seat down and vis with me, we shared that we both had returned from a train trip. They had these great sausage's. They were enough to give me in who they got them from and all my friends enjoyed them for many years Fast forward through the day. The place has become very popular due to some positive reviews. But things have changed dramatically. They same sausages are there but now they're cut in half and barely cooked and now they've basically serve deep fried potatoes. This tells me that the restaurant has become too busy and they're doing cutting corners to get a lot more people through deep-fried potatoes have no place in a breakfast. And cutting a sausage and half destroys the crispy popper the skin.. sorry Bob to go back to basics

Menu advertises hash browns. Instead of hash browns, they are store bought potatoes that were horrible little processed squares! Said they just changed it over. But didn't change the menue! The eggs in the scramble weren't fresh eggs but "frozen eggs" that were horrible. Not even real fresh eggs. Watery, instant eggs! Again not mentioned on the menue! For a $20 scramble. Not worth the money whatsoever! Also be aware if you pick blueberries here I was told by staff that they are chemical sprayed. I will never go back!

Blueberry Hills Farm is always a stop for our family when we are in the area. The service was friendly and we received our food pretty quickly. Ordered a latte while we waited to place our order and picked blueberries on the farm after breakfast!

wow! huge breakfast and the blueberry foods to buy and take home...amazing. best pure blueberry juice ever! cinnamon role the size of a dinner plate

I recently visited Blueberry hills and would absolutely recommend it to anyone The service was top notch and the food was so very good. I had the veggie omelet and the ingredients were extremely fresh and the portions were huge..not to mention how unique the inside of the restaurant is. It's definitely an amazing experience all the way around. P.S..the peanut butter pie is to die for.

Be prepared for a long line and wait for an absolutely delicious breakfast experience. From the service to the food selection-baked goods are to die for-and ambience we were SOLD! Highly recommend

Love going to this place every year but lately prices have gone up and servings have decreased which is definitely disappointing. It's always very busy but the wait goes by quickly-I recommend bringing games to play with your table! (:

Amazing breakfast spot at the lake. The deck overlooks the blueberry farm is just a delight. We tried the loco moco and Joe's special, both were so good. We will be back over and over. Look out on the weekends, line and wait for food can easily be over an hour. No reservations, no table service. You stand in line, order, and then find a table to sit and wait on your food to come out of the kitchen. They accept credit cards and Apple tap to pay.

Decided to enjoy the day and drive up to Manson for brunch. Stopped at Blueberry Hills and started with a blueberry cinnamon roll, that was so large and rich- we packed more than half it to take back home. I ordered the French dip sandwich with a house salad. The sandwich was massive, and I should have ordered half- because most of that came home too. The salad was fresh and delish, iceberg lettuce topped with sunflower seeds, beets, blueberries, croutons and a home made blue cheese dressing. The chicken fried steak was reported to be "the best I've had" in Washington. I only tried the sausage gravy which was rich and flavorful. Is it worth the drive? Absolutely. Service was fast and friendly, portions were generous and the view was beautiful even in the off season. -- at Blueberry Hills.

Breakfast here was fantastic, and the views from the deck were phenomenal. Everyone in our group of 4 ordered something different, and we all enjoyed our meals. Highly recommend. We went on a Saturday morning in April shortly after they opened. By the time we left, the deck was full and there was a line of people coming in.

Ah-mazing breakfast/brunch served all day. So glad we decided to drive all the way from our hotel on the other side of Lake Chelan just to eat here. It's a cottage perched on the hill with great views. Interiors are cozy. Pay at the counter and the food will be brought out to your table. What to absolutely not miss - the fresh blueberry juice and the pies! We got the coconut cream pie but am sure they are all delicious. We were going to order wine hop, so didn't want to eat too much. Got the hash brown for the kiddos and a veggie machaka. Never had a machaka before. It's pieces of tortillas, sautés with scrambled eggs, veggies and cheese. Scrumptious! They also have various jams, jellies and other goods for sale. Tip - on your way out, stop at Lake Chelan Winery for complimentary tasting!

Great view. Beautiful. But I'm *never* a fan of places that make you preorder and find your own table, silverware, napkins, water, coffee. Like why is my burger $21 and I'm not guaranteed a spot to eat it? Almost like a bait and switch, if you will. We looked around while we waited, looked at other peoples food coming out. Portions looked on the big side, but I'm not taking home half a leftover burger, so it's overkill. The girl who handed us menus was speaking as if she was a recording on repeat. It was busy enough to make us feel like we'd not get a table, the overall experience leading up to the ordering part was really not enticing, so we left.

I was so fortunate to have the owners speak with me about the history of the land. The food was absolutely delicious. The fresh blueberries were to die for. The view of the property was beautiful. Definitely will eat there again and recommend!

Corned Beef Hash was terrible. Sliced deli pastrami laid over home fried potatoes. The waiter graciously credited the meal (and agreed it wasn't true corned beef "hash".).

I have eaten here multiple times and enjoyed it. Today, the French dip was tasteless. Fish and chips were mediocre- one piece was dry. Very disappointed in the quality of food. Server was also very crabby.

Always a favorite when in Manson. Huge portions. It is busy because it is good. Plan accordingly.

This is a restaurant and a blueberry farm! The restaurant was really busy when we were in town in August. The wait was out the door and the line to order was slow. After you order, you find a seat. We were told our food would take 45 minutes after ordering but thankfully it didn't end up taking that long. The food here is good! I would say better than your average breakfast diner. Portion size is large and they have some specialty items with their blueberries from their farm (like blueberry muffins, blueberry juice, etc) which I would recommend trying! It was an overall lovely brunch with good food and amazing views from the back deck. As for their blueberry farm, it's amazing. They have the biggest, sweetest blueberries there! You can also just buy them picked. We ended up doing both bc it was too hot to pick as many as we wanted, since they were so good. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm visiting Chelan!

Always an enjoyable meal at Blueberry Hills. It's the kind of place where the meals are hearty and filling. You don't come here to order a salad and count calories. They specialize in breakfast/brunch but their sandwiches...especially their hot ones like the French dip are great. Make sure you save room for dessert. Finally, get the blueberry juice. The service is friendly and the owner is fun to talk to. In addition to great food, if you come here during blueberry season, you have to do it. The berries are incredible. Pick a bunch and then freeze them. You will have great berries all year long. The ambiance is homey, a collection of pictures, funny coffee mugs, and stuff that they have collected over the years are everywhere.

The cinnamon rolls were amazing and great customer service! Definitely will be going back with my family!

First visit here. Wow! Delicious food, pricey, but the portion sizes match it! Very busy place and I can see why! Will be back!

Stopped here for lunch & it was delicious!! one of the best chicken sandwiches i've ever had & the views from the back patio are incredible!! Staff was also very friendly and helpful!

Wonderful country store with a blueberry orchard behind it. You've got a bit of a drive from chelon but a great location to visit up the hills from the lake. Inside dining and outside are available but be prepared for a wait if you actually visit around lunch time. We got there the tail end of the lunch crowd but because they don't rush the creation of your order the wait time was extraordinary; about 1 hour after ordering but everything was crisp and fresh hot. We had the crazy salad which does seem to have pretty much everything of fruit and vegetables... and I had the French dip which was excellent. But as you see in the pics, all the portions are effectively supersized. 2 potatoes worth of French fries (which were hand cut and quite tasty). 18" of French bread with very good non-fatty meat inside. All marvelous and all pretty much impossible to finish. My recommendations to management are to cut the portions by a third and lower prices similarly. I realize it costs pennies on the dollar to throw on more lettuce and French fries, and stack a high stack of pancakes. But it really bothered me to see everyone bussing their plates and throwing away a meal left of leftovers. Still, the quality was all great and sitting on the deck overlooking the blueberry field and surrounding countryside was a real pleasure.

Locals told us about this restaurant and they warned us that you cannot make a reservation and that you will need to wait in line. We must say that it was worth it, the food was so delicious. It felt like you were at a family picnic. You could eat inside or outside. Lovely views we highly recommend this place.

I expected too much. The biscuit did not taste fresh. The blintzes were not fully cooked and the blueberry pie filling tasted of cinnamon. I am not someone who wants cinnamon in everything. It was also somewhat pricy for what we got. $20 apiece for a meal and coffee. The service was very good and it was clean. Would not come back.

One of the best breakfasts I've ever had in Washington. I love biscuits and gravy and theirs are worth getting a little off the beaten path for. I want to go back to try some of the sweets I had no room for. Best part was the member of the family who owns the restaurant came and sat at our table and shared some stories and conversation with us. Five stars in every respect by my account.

Charming place to look around and do a little shopping. The staff was very pleasant. But the food wasn't to our liking. I had fish and chips. The fish were very fishy tasting, and my friend had the cheeseburger deluxe, and the bottom bun was so soggy. It was just falling apart.

This place really needs to have some competition, they take it for granted that this hillbilly town has nothing. I think they have on skillet to cook on and there's one cook, who probably laughs at all the gringos and tourist who come here to be in the crowd. The food took 1 and 1/2 hour to arrive at the table after ordering. Yes, you will wait for your food, after sitting down. They have no sense of customer service and their tactic is to make you extremely hungry so the food will taste better. Pretty standard fare and I think the food was good, but hard to tell after my blood sugar dropped to a dangerous level. I am sad to see that places like this exist to make you feel like an idiot. The people leave here the same way they leave all the other tourist BBQ joints in Texas and so on. Go on and enjoy the tourist trap.

Since we discovered this place in 2020 (my first review of them), we've been going back whenever we're in Lake Chelan/Manson area. We've brought our friends and now it's been a tradition to have breakfast here. It gets pretty busy so be patient. It's a popular place! Their menu is extensive! Some of our favorites: Coconut Cream Waffles - Their Danish Yeast Waffles topped with shredded coconut, their homemade coconut syrup, whipped cream & slivered almonds. Served w/2 strips of apple wood smoked bacon. $14.25 Loco Moco - Aloha to a Hawaiian classic! White rice topped with a juicy burger patty & smothered by delicious brown gravy & topped w/2 eggs. $13.95 Barn Waffles - Danish Yeast Waffles with 2 strips of bacon -- topped w/your choice of warm pie filling -- Blueberry, Peach (or both!) and whipped cream. $14.25 Their pies! Gotta have their pies! Our favorite: blueberry :) They also serve blueberry juice!

I was thrilled to find this place just literally around the corner from the venue we were staying at in Manson. Back at home, we have something of a mini blueberry farm, and I was so excited to see what they were doing with blueberries. I jumped online and as soon as I saw blintzes on the menu, I was already in the car, racing over. The location is super easy to get to in Manson, and they have ample free parking onsite. They also have spill over parking which I imagine is clutch when they have "pick your own" blueberries, strawberries and other goodies. Inside, we were struck with the quirky decor, and the overwhelmingly delicious smells. We were greeted by Junior behind the counter who was friendly and courteous, and explained we could take a table, look over the menus and order at the counter. I already knew what I wanted, but I browsed the store and decor while hubby investigated the menu. Once we were ready, I ordered the blueberry blintz ($14.95) *of course*, blueberry muffin ($6), blueberry juice ($3.50), the biscuits and gravy for him ($16.95), and a slice of the blueberry pie to go ($5). While we waited, we looked at the back of the menu, talking about the family that runs the place, their claim to fame, the history of the decor, and took in the gorgeous views of the sprawling blueberry orchard. The colors were incredible, with flaming reds and golds from one side to the other. I sure hope my blueberries back home thrive like this, because it is a sight to never forget! The food was out in a flash, and it was massive. My blintz was about the size of my arm around and absolutely STUFFED with goodies. The muffin was very good as was the juice, but surprisingly the star of the meal was something without blueberries! The biscuits and gravy were the shock of the season, and was packed with a divine jalapeño kick. To this day, probably the best gravy I have ever tried. It will haunt me. We dug into the pie once we were done with our day, and it was solid, however I assume it would have been better ala mode. Overall, this is an absolute not to miss spot in the Chelan Lake area. I planned to return during my trip out there for another shot at sampling the lunch menu, but it just wasn't meant to me. If I ever return to Manson however, you know I will be back. Now to try my hand at recreating that spicy gravy!

Hands down, the best chicken fried steak on the planet. We've been on a mission to find our favorite and we found it. Can't wait to have it again. Thanks

The food was very good, I had the ricotta crepe and the morel mushroom soup. Both items were very good. The food is very fresh. They also have self-service coffee and sodas. You must order at the counter. There are no reservations available and it is a diner - style restaurant. After ordering you get a number and then sit wherever you find a seat. This is fine for a few people, but can be difficult with a large group. It's a rustic scene, dress casual. It's kind of a drive away from the Chelan downtown area, but it's very pretty. I would definitely go here again.

A very popular restaurant and farm in Chelan. The waffles are truly very delicious. They have a talented gentleman play live music on the patio. That was such an enjoyable entertainment and made the hour and half wait worth it. The blueberry farm itself was incredible. We have never seen blueberry bigger than grapes. That was incredible!

Food was great and portions were very large. Service was slow (45min wait) but expected due to it being very crowded on a Friday. Difficult finding a seat outside. Camp-like ambiance with a beautiful view of the blueberry farm. Blintz is pretty good (not too sweet). Benedict was really good. The blueberry milkshake was the best thing eve

An hour and 30 minute wait for food is unacceptable when it's not that busy. We were told 40 minutes. That said, when the food finally arrived, it was good.
