You won’t be let down at this local favorite order-at-the-counter brunch and lunch stop that is in the style of the classic gas station it once was. They have indoor and outdoor seating. A walk through the Essex downtown area afterward is a must. Check hours before heading out. As is everything in Essex, a bit on the pricey side.
