Steve's Sugar Shack

A gem of Western Mass. The whole eatery is actually built around the maple syrup boiler that Steve built there. He will give you a tour of the place and show you his prized toy: the wood furnace maple maker. It's a sight to behold. Best pancakes I have EVER tried. Gigantic and super thick. But it's all just a vehicle for the copious amounts of syrup that you'll pour on top. Just breakfast goodness in all it's splendor.

As we arrived, walked up the driveway and entered the rustic structure, we were transported back to a simpler time. Neighbors greeting neighbors. Trusting one another. People enjoying the simple pleasure of breakfast with pancakes, french toast, maple syrup, bacon, sausage. The fresh ingredients were evident in the great taste.
We got a chance to chat with owner Steve who is very enthusiastic about maple sugaring and forest management. And of course no visit here would be complete without getting some maple syrup to take home! We'd go back in a heartbeat!

Steve's sugar shack was awesome. From the sugar cooks to the servers, everyone was friendly and pleasant. We did not know that it was cash or check only and they offered to send a bill in the mail, that is truly impressive!! The food was great and the experience was top notch. Thank you for such a nice treat!!

Wonderful experience. Pancakes, butter and real maple syrup in a true "sugar shack". Simple wood panel, concrete floor, warm and extremely friendly staff and Steve walks and talks with the customers. Syrup production is on the upper platform with steam venting into the restaurant. Young children get to look through the windows and observe the production. A magical experience that should be on your bucket list.

Amazing breakfast. Fantastic tour from the man himself, Steve. Very accommodating staff making sure you enjoy the experience. How have I not been here before? Will soon be back!!
