What a delightful small diner! We were cruising past Fair Haven when we spotted their sign -- it's…read morenot a big one, BTW -- and stopped in. Good move by us. We enjoyed a very tasty midday breakfast/lunch with good, easy-going service and a distinctly local flavor. But let's get to the food: over-easy eggs cooked just right, homemade and delicious corned beef hash, and a nice-size burger cooked as requested and yummy. Service was quick, the restaurant was clean, and the new guy in the kitchen merits praise for his good work. Our companion diners at the next table looked as if they might have been seated there for decades, savoring their coffee refills and enjoying togetherness. Nice. Wish we had a diner comparable to Wooden Soldier back home. Well worth a visit if you're headed in this direction.

We took an extra long time to decide on food because we were chatting and catching up. The staff were so kind and understanding. When we did finally place an order we both got turkey sandwiches. The turkey is roasted fresh and absolutely incredible. The veggies on the sandwich were nice and fresh as well. It came with chips and sliced pickles. The total for both of our sandwiches was just under $15 including tax! This was an incredible deal. This is a great spot to grab breakfast or lunch. Beyond the food, the service is incredible. I misplaced my sunglasses as I was leaving and could not find them in the booth. My friend and I took a stroll around town for about an hour, and walked back up in front of the wooden soldier where we had parked before leaving town. One of the employees asked if I was the girl who had lost my sunglasses. She let me know that the gentleman who had served us had found them under the booth after we left and had asked to local businesses if they had seen us! She told me to go right back in, even though they had closed and and there was the gentleman who had served us with my sunglasses and a great big smile! These people were the sweetest, this absolutely made my week! Good people, good food, good location. Check it out.

We both got the single w/bacon: not too greasy, very flavorful and well cooked, I just wish mine had more sauce on it. Toads fries: these were okay, a lot of sauce and cheese which kind of soaked the fries but they didn't stand out overall Cheese curds: good portion for "small size" and very delicious. The marinara sauce was a little too processed/sweet for me but the curds were great. We'd definitely come back for another burger

I stopped by the Castleton Snack Bar for lunch recently while heading towards Rutland…read more This outside drive-in restaurant (snack bar) is located off US Route 4, along VT Route 4A and serving up ice cream and hot foods. This snack bar offers Hershey's Ice Cream (hard), 24 flavors of soft serve ice cream, low fat frozen yogurt, shakes, floats, sundaes, burgers, hot dogs (short & long), corn dogs, chicken, fried seafood, grilled sandwiches, a decent selection of fried foods, and Coke fountain drinks. Bring the dog since they offer the "Dog Dish" for the pooch. The prices here are fair, a small cone is around $2, sundaes $3.75, banana splits $5 and most sandwiches are $2.85-$5.50 before tax. A lobsta salad roll is $5.95. Sandwiches and burgers can be upgraded into boats (fries and drink) for $3.30 more. This snack bar has outside order/takeout windows with picnic table seating next to the building. I ordered a Steak & Cheese Sandwich ($5.50) with grilled onions & peppers and Fried Pickles ($3.25), which was ready in about 10 minutes after ordering. The food tasted pretty good, similar to fair food. The fried (dill) pickle chips had a crispy and very spicy tasting cornmeal batter (a bit greasy) with ranch dressing on the side for dipping. The steak and cheese sandwich had thin shaved steak, green pepper, red peppers, sweet onions, and lots of melted cheese on a grilled hoagie roll. However, steak & cheese sandwich was extremely greasy, soaking right through the paper bag and through several newspapers on my car seat. While I enjoyed the steak sandwich less the excess grease, I was definitely not a happy camper cleaning up the grease in the car. If you enjoy greasy drive-in food and some ice cream at fair prices, this roadside stand is good place to stop.

They were voted 2019 #2 Best Restaurant in the Rutland area and I think they were robbed. My husband began the night by choosing a menu option that allows customers to buy the back of the house staff a round of cream ale which causes them to erupt in kitchenware percussion and celebratory hooting. The Potato Leek soup was velvety and delicious. They served us the best fried Brussel Sprouts that I have ever eaten. They were crispy, well seasoned and the aioli was also good but they didn't even need it. I am not much of a drinker but their specialty margarita was so well made (and strong) that had I not already gotten quite precious after the first one, I would have ordered another. My husband liked the cauliflower, squash mac and cheese special. My mushroom ravioli with capers and cream sauce were also delicious. We finished up with a house made lemon-lime cheese cake. Usually, citrus is not welcome in my dessert. I prefer chocolates, cookies and caramels in my cheesecake. I want to know that my Diabetic Ketoacidosis Emergency admission to a backwater hospital was well earned. However, it was delicious. The service was friendly and unpretentious, in my adorable, slightly drunken state I became absolutely thrilled when one of the waitresses was publicly gifted with a Plague Doctor Squishable (look them up). I ordered mine in September and cannot wait to receive it. I felt an immediate, margarita and plague doctor inspired, affinity We'll be back

I was STARVING and we drove from Killington all the way over here to go somewhere else- but that…read moresomewhere else was closed and I think it was for a reason. This place is darn good! The regulars are obvious, and that's a good thing in my book. At the end of my meal even I felt like family. We were in for a veggie omelet (ordered by the bf because he saw someone else's) and a breakfast sandwich (w ham and a hash brown!) both delicious. I had to take a corn muffin to go because I knew I'd be craving some more by the time I got home. The corn muffin didn't even last an hour. I took one bite as soon as we got back in the car. And then devoured half by thirty mins into the drive, really trying to exhibit willpower. Needless to say, it was gone within the hour and we had three more to go before we reached home. Give this place a try if you want good food, good company, and none of the frilly stuff- and some excellent muffins! Oh my god and I almost forgot the coffee delicious, hot, and always fresh!
