What it is, is a truck stop attached to a gas station. It's sort of nondescript from the outside, except it's a complete surprise on the inside! It smells great! They offer an eclectic menu with lots of Indian food - out here in the middle of nowhere! Their prices are good, and they seem to do a booming business. The restaurant is clean, big enough without being huge, and they do a brisk takeout business. The pizza was maybe 3.5 stars (toppings were slightly dried out, while the dough was slightly under cooked, even though it was thin crust), and the samosas were terrific! Fairly large, tasty. And obviously fried. I can hardly wait to go back.

Operations is way down a long driveway; good thing for clear signage! You file into a rustic cabin, where they serve you - a plate sized pancake with syrup, and it includes bacon or sausage.

They are only open nine weeks of the year so they are probably closed by the time I'm writing this. Still I wanted to support the business. This is a Sugar Bush and pancake house. I was there as a child and wanted to take my wife out this season as she had never had the experience. This is a very rustic Sugar Bush. There are many around Ottawa within a 2 hour drive, much more polished then this one, but we enjoy this one probably the most. The food here is the best, very fluffy pancakes and a menu you can customize with eggs and the whole breakfast meal deal. Prices are reasonable and you get all the syrup you want, (while eating). They even have Paleo pancakes if you like. Food prep is fast and its great to bring the kids for brunch. Most of the other people we saw were families with young kids. There is not much to do besides eat. This is one drawback. They have some old fashioned buckets and taps set up for display but just a few beside the parking lot, probably for the school kids. There is a trail but I think its more for their use than intended for the public. No one stopped us from wandering around and checking out how the trees are tapped. They sell all their maple products there as well. So you can buy your annual supply of syrup. My family keeps a Gallon or two and its enough. They started taking credit cards the day we were there. The signal for the machine was still weak so I recommend taking enough cash to pay for what you want, just in case. They do not take debit. If your looking for a good rustic pancake family brunch, I'd say drop by Hunter's. On your way home take a scenic drive through Spencerville. http://www.huntersmapleproducts.com/

Normally I prefer my cakes with blueberries or bananas because regular pancakes tend to be dry and boring. Wheelers only makes one type of pancake, regular, but these are anything but regular. Perfectly crisped on the outside, fluffy and tender on the inside. I guess when you only do one thing, you do it really well! The pancake House is open year-round (yeah!), but during maple season they have additional activities on the grounds. There are activities for kids, walking trails for adults and maple taffy on snow for all! The people here could not be more friendly. It is a family operation, and when you are there, you feel like part of the family. Totally worth the hour drive from Ottawa, I promise!

I found the Village Bean Coffee place on Yelp and decided to give it a try. I opted for the soup and sandwich combo. Now, I usually don't eat bacon, but I don't know what came over me that day. I ordered the BLT and their soup of the day, which was corn chowder (full of bacon bits). The portion of both the sandwich and the soup were very generous. The combo with a san pellegrino can was about 13$, which is pretty decent. The soup was pretty good and so was the sandwich. The shop has cute local art on display on the walls and local papers on the tables to read while you're eating. Overall, it's a small town restaurant that is convenient and pretty quick service. If you're in town, you should stop by this place for a nice small town feel.
