Enjoying a little trip to Thomaston! If you'd like to try a mix of an American breakfast with a Mexican twist, this place is the best option in the area... I truly enjoyed it. Excellent service
A very friendly place with a welcoming atmosphere, where the staff treat you like family. The coffee comes from a local roaster and is quite good. The American breakfasts are tasty and there are several excellent Mexican options on the menu including my favorite, chilaquiles with a green chile sauce. Homemade scones are also a plus!
We got the breakfast, eggs, beacon with toast and fruit. Love it!
Definitely coming back!
First time visiting and we will definitely be back.
It was also pleasantly surprising to get the best cup of coffee a restaurant has given me in many years.
The staff was warm and friendly.
The service was excellent.
I shouldn't have to point this out but the chorizo in my breakfast has some spice to it. I loved it. Not the bland stuff I get everywhere else.
I’ve been coming to Esme & Rubys for the last several months. The coffee WAS delicious. The menu WAS amazing. Fast forward to June 2025… & I’m extremely unhappy with the direction that the restaurant is going.
Their new menus look great… physically and aesthetically… but their options are now very limited, pricing is also higher than previously.
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND, the restaurant is only open for breakfast & lunch. That being said…
My husband LOVED the Philly Cheesesteak Grinder. It was delicious and always his go to. We come in on a planned date only to find out it’s no longer available. Waitress checked & yes, they could still make it… yet they offer no grinder type bread… so that obviously won’t work.
I understand that the restaurant is under new ownership, but this is just sad. I really hope things take a turn for the better because I’m not sure that I’ll return at this point. 😭
ETA:
The Pulled Pork omelet was filled with very fatty meat. It was also dry which is unappealing. The Bacon Cheddar Omelet was good, but different than last time. Previously there had been a cheddar cheese sauce, this time it was just melted cheddar. But it was still ok. A bit pricey though in my opinion.
