    The food was ok but the service was very slow. We went for brunch. When it did come out my omelette was cold and toast was dried out. Coffee also came out cold although the server did make a fresh pot for me when I asked.

    Nice place for a friends or family brunch. Very cozy and you're not rushed. Bruch menu and cocktails are great. Ambiance is just active enough where you can have fun and still hear each other talk. Highly recommend.

    We have been going to the Cranberry Inn for well over 30 years. Tom & Gay (previous owners) always made everyone feel welcome and always had time to socialize with the customers. The food was consistently good, as was the service. Unfortunately, the new owners have turned the historic Cranberry Inn into a very expensive “cracker barrel”. The new owners appear to be typical corporate types just trying to wring every last penny out of the business at the expense of the customer experience. I’ll probably give them a second chance just for old time sake, but I’m not optimistic.

    Other than a loud, disruptive group in the room (everyone cheered when they left) it was a very nice evening. The food was well prepared and ample, and the server affable. In fact, we established a new First Date Anniversary tradition: dinner at Cranbury Inn!
