I've had my eye on this diner for years because it's always packed, which is usually a good sign…read more The classic train-car setup and nostalgic décor make it feel like stepping back in time. We lucked out when we arrived and snagged the last open booth. Service was quick, with our drinks and food arriving fast, and I loved seeing a selection of hot sauces right on the table. Not pictured is the cinnamon roll we split because it was too good to wait for a photo. The Texas burrito and chili got rave reviews from my dining partner, and my omelette was solid, though interestingly assembled. The fillings were layered rather than chopped and mixed throughout. Once I cut it all together, the flavor came through nicely, and the home fries were great. We'll definitely be back, and I'm already eyeing a few other dishes to try next time.

Was kinda shocked to see a diner and even more shocked when I drove up and was transported back in time. Like this is a real old time diner with the counter and stools and juke boxes at the tables! What a pleasant surprise. The best part of course was the service AND the food. The food was excellent and the portion sizes were hefty hefty hefty. I did the bagel melt with bacon instead of ham and they did it up right!! I ate every morsel including the mildly seasoned well cooked home fries. The bagel had the right toasted crunch to it, the sandwich was not oily and thus my clothes were spared. The egg was perfectly fried and the bacon lover in me was in heaven because it was not salty and my extra bacon was the right portion. My friend's plate was also done well and he ate every bit. I took off one star for the following: The booths are not for us larger people and so it was quite a squeeze (in and out) and I should have sat on a counter stool but that did not look any more comfortable for the tush. Also, the entrance was not ramped and thus not handicapped accessible. Otherwise, I would have given the place a 5 and if ever in Vermont again, will definitely stop by...I may even go by again before I leave the state. Great meal and experience.

there are many many 1* reviews here which seem to do with the proprietor. speaking for myself,…read morejust the pass'n tru life kind, this is one of those indescribably essential places YOU MUST NOT MISS. outside of course you're drawn in by the odd assemblage of moose statues, and of course maybe even wonder whatup with this. of course you realize that moose are seen here now and then, wanderers likely on a pilgrimage from their native area in the adirondack region. but it's easily dismissed unless you reflect on what may be inside the building. in my case, i drove past it maybe a quarter mile before realizing what i was about to miss... true rural americana, eccentric in all manner and aspects. i turned around, of course. the property is littered with all manner of handmade replicas of whatever, though i don't recall any of those wind-driven whirligigs, ever popular among the natives here. i took a few pics to add to the pile though really a camera doesn't do this place justice. if you're tempted to park in a veterans only spot, correct your attitude unless you qualify: show some respect, willya? i needed something to justify my going inside, and figured i'd buy some apple cider donuts, a few to keep me company. i was on a long drive west to the thousand islands where i was headed to stay with a friend in his cabin on oak island, and as grocery stores are scarce there i had to bring something to eat. i bought a dozen, they were a bit stale but then i prefer stale donuts. now the personal touch here ain't too gentle. the old man is crusty, but even crustier is his son, or so i assume he must be. one or both seem to have picked up a little limp along the way possibly as result of military service. whtever the case, only a dedicated first degree relative would be able to handle this job working with the old man. inside the place, there is every conceivable knick-knack ("small worthless objects, especially household ornaments" oxford online dictionary says) that exists, most made in the usa. for some reason though the vibe here isn't real welcoming so if you want to browse around, be sure to make it seem that you are looking for SOMETHING in particular. probably though nobody will give you a second glance until you begin to make your exit. i suppose there was a time when the place was visited by some hapless shoplifter, at least that might explain the lack of friendliness here. if so, i suspect he never came back after being treated to the wrath of these guys. and really, what is there here that anybody might want badly enough that they'd risk stealing rather than pay the man his $10. hell just walking around this assemblage of stuff is worth that as price of admission. i say give the old man and his son a break, they seem at heart nice enough men, just need to get their ashes hauled now and then.

Your…read morehusband was asked 3 times to move his car and he became combative and was nasty and the owner was having none of it in front of the patrons. I also saw when customers were coming in that he said some nasty things about the owner. I have been a customer for about 18 yrs. This is always my first stop before heading to Manchester Vt every year and they are the nicest family-always very happy to see returning customers as a well as new ones. Very sad that you had to make a statement at the end of your review about politics-when that had absolutely nothing to do with the incident. Well you missed out on all the great local goods that the store offers to their loved customers. Yelping is a great way to serve the communities-keep it civil. Best~

The place has a large sign advising patrons not to come into the restaurant, and to wait in the small entrance area to be let inside. So we dutifully waited. And waited. The servers were milling around and had to have noticed us, but we got nothing. Even a wave or a "Just a minute" signal would have been great. But nope, just them walking right by us several times with no acknowledgment whatsoever. The kicker is that while the booths were full, the large bar was empty save for 3 people eating. There were SEVERAL empty seats. We left and had a fantastic lunch down the way at The Vermont Country Store. Not in a hurry to try this place again.

My daughter's toast was cold, the sausage patties were overcooked, and they only take cash. I also noticed staff in the kitchen without hats on. I was willing to give this place a try even though I still think I remember them attempting to host what felt like a distasteful event during the Cambridge mascot debate. I wanted to give them a fair shot despite questioning some of their community judgment, but overall the experience was underwhelming for a place serving pretty basic diner food. If you're going to be a diner, nail the basics.
