That was the furthest from the truth. A huge line of people was my first indication that maybe there was more to this little spot. There were 5 grinder makers and I patiently waited as I scoped out the menu. I ordered a large hot Italian with oil, grabbed a cookie and I was on my way. I felt very primal as I devoured this grinder that probably could have been split into two meals but I couldn't stop. I'm now a grinder enthusiast and Gills is my supplier.

They have great pricing here. My partner and I shared some incredible fried cheese curds. I highly recommend ordering those, they were incredible. My burger was good too. You order your food and pay up front and then they bring the food to you. There was one server that was extremely short with us, the other one was really sweet. There is a lot of seating available inside. The walls are lined with animal heads, so gives it a rustic hunting feel. I was most excited to try Vermont's signature: a maple creamee. Keep in mind they give you huge servings of this delicious soft serve. My partner and I shared a medium and could barely finish it. It tasted like delicious buttery maple syrup pancakes.

Lots of options, steak/burgers/pizza, all of the regular fried goodies- mushrooms, fries, onion rings etc. The family runs it and they are wonderful people.

They also have black raspberry soft serve which I didn't know existed and am now obsessed with, I am not sure if it's a special though ha. Support local and eat this delicious food!!
