    Absolutely mind blown…read more I have made numerous ski trips this way and always seen this place tucked away in the corner of my eye when approaching the intersection. No cell service so couldn't look up anything prior to entering. Lovely little diner, please remember to shut the door as you enter as it doesn't close. I made my way to the counter and started really looking at everything around the place. Personally could have kept all the political stuff out but I was here for food. Liked all the books off the side as well as the dinosaur toys. The message that is placed in front of you tell a good story, and they're not wrong one bit. Enjoy the company around you. I was blown away with the size of the blueberry pancake, and I was warned. Never have I taken a pancake to go because I didn't finish it. I had some corn beef hash too so that filled me up a bit, but this thing is massive! Definitely could've taken it down in my college days. I will have to come back to try and defeat it again. Anyways, I did enjoy my corn beef hash too, very potato driven. All and all, happy I finally popped in. Don't know when the next time I'll be back, but it is now on my radar of places to stop when ready for pancakes!

    We stopped at The Hartland Diner while driving home from a wedding, hoping for that cozy Vermont…read morediner experience. Instead, this was genuinely one of the worst breakfast experiences we've ever had. Let's start with the $7 coffee. Not some specialty latte. Not Starbucks. Just regular drip coffee poured out of a giant dispenser. It honestly felt like the coffee setup at an AA meeting. Breakfast for two, with relatively small plates, came to about $63 before tax and tip. For what we were served, the pricing felt absurd. The atmosphere was also strange and uncomfortable. There was free Plan B sitting out on the counter, along with a very overt political/social vibe throughout the restaurant. Believe whatever you want to believe, but it felt less like a welcoming diner and more like walking into someone's personal statement. What bothered me much more, though, was how people were treated. While we were there, a sweet older woman walked in and politely asked if she could get a pastry and coffee to go. The owner told her, "We don't do takeout, it's too busy." The woman complimented the place and said how nice it looked. She basically got an "oh" in response. Then she asked if there was anywhere nearby where she could grab something to eat. The response was essentially "no," delivered with what looked like complete annoyance. Not long afterward, a mother came in with her autistic daughter looking for lunch and was also met with a very abrupt response that they couldn't eat there. Watching those interactions honestly made everyone around us uncomfortable. Somehow the owner managed to make paying customers feel guilty for sitting there eating. After roughly a 45-minute wait, our food finally arrived -- with no silverware. We had to track someone down just so we could actually eat it. There were also flies trapped inside the blue-and-white cloud ceiling lights, which didn't exactly improve the experience. The whole place had an incredibly dark, hostile energy that is hard to describe unless you were there. If you're looking for the friendly, charming little Vermont diner experience, this absolutely was not it for us. The one bright spot was the young man working there. He was pleasant and seemed to be doing his best. Unfortunately, between the prices, long wait, service, cleanliness concerns, and especially the way we watched other people get treated, we would never return.
