The restaurant was hidden below the street level and was rather busy when we descended the stairs from Water Street.
In fact it was so busy, we had a wait of about 20 minutes for a table, so took the opportunity to nip out the back door and take in the views of the Squamscott River. Upon our return, we took our seats at the bar alongside a courting couple (we think they were on a first date)!
The Big Bean Kitchen felt intimate and the tables and seats were quite close together.
For Sunday brunch we ordered:
🍳 Ghost Face = $14.25
Three egg omelet, stuffed with broccoli, bacon, cheddar and home fries, topped with sour cream.
🍳 Spock = $13.75
Three scrambled eggs with onions, peppers, sausage and cheddar topped with hollandaise, and served with home fries and toast.
🍊 Large orange juice = $3.00
☕️ Small Americano = $3.25
😢 Tax = $2.92
💰 Total = $37.17
We waited 30 minutes for our food.
Without any question of doubt, this was the tastiest and freshest food we enjoyed in travelling almost 1,000 miles on our ‘Navigating New England’ summer vacation!
The plates were full with generous portion sizes. All the flavors worked well together, with a good mix of proteins, vegetables and seasonings.
Interestingly, the ‘home fries’ were diced potatoes perfectly sprinkled with herbs.
Our only disappointment on this visit was when our meal ended!
As we left, we spoke briefly to a gentleman, who we think was the owner, and conveyed our thanks for the tasty food as he told us the story of how the business came about.
How lucky we were to find The Big Bean Kitchen & Bar on our brief visit to Exeter and New Hampshire.
