I say this merely because if you think food from a gas station is beneath you, subpar or otherwise "above it" you're missing out my friend. The interior of the store is dated and have very little in the way of seating to eat your food, when I first entered there was one table for 4 and one side had boxes stacked on top of it. So there really isn't much to look at I suppose. The service was great, the young woman behind the counter took our order and immediately set to task all while entertaining questions about their establishment and its roots. Overall I would give her a 5 star rating. On to the better part. My wife enjoyed a pulled pork meal which she was satisfied with, the only thing to note was there wasn't a huge Smokey flavor with the meat. It wasn't unnoticeable but it wasn't there enough to say it was smoked enough. The Mac and cheese that came with it was creamy and delicious as you would expect from a Mac and cheese but lacked any spice. The coleslaw again was less than remarkable but still well put together and tasted fresh, just very mayo heavy. My meal consisted of the Jeremiah Johnson. The brisket was cooked to absolute perfection, the fat cap appeared to be trimmed to perfection and had a beautiful deep bark with a light smoke ring. The mashed potatoes were made fresh as was the gravy (albeit a bit greasy for me) it was still phenomenal. The Mushrooms and onions were a great addition and well caramelized. The only real thing to note is when you think of this dish as BBQ, You would expect sauce rather than gravy, albeit it was greasy, it was still good and tied the dish together well. I would suggest getting BBQ sauce and asking to have the gravy kept from the dish if possible or placed on the side to have a feel for what I am talking about and make your own decision! Overall I would definitely say for a NE establishment this was still a solid BBQ choice!

All their pancakes are amazing, even though with my sodium issue I only get a taste of my husband's.

I only eat a couple of the potatoes, they are very tasty however salt is used or the rest of you wouldn't be eating them....am I right! Of course, my eggs were cooked perfectly! I keep forgetting you have ice cream! They also have many local theme items for sale and don't forget to not head home with Vermont's local Maple Syrup!

We finally decided to try out S&S and I found it good, but not worth the 5 stars everyone gives it pancakes = well cooked, round, pretty standard. don't get 4 pancakes unless you want be in a pancake induced coma. also, they put a literal small ice cream scoop size of butter on the pancakes. Only IHOP does that and it's way too much butter. If you are eating all of that butter, you might need an extra dose of lipitor. Toast = kind of boring S&S pancakes = kind of tasted like pancakes with cinnamon sprinkled on top. Home fries = those were good I was there with two 16-year olds who both thought the food was "mid". I did see a small girl sitting with plate in front of her that had a waffle with ice cream and whipped cream piled so high, that it was almost as tall as her. Her eyes were huge and she was trying to figure out where to start. That waffle looked pretty good and as I passed the table, her dad was leaning in to "help out and keep the plate clean". They sell a lot of baseball hats and t-shirts.

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).

We had a chance to eat dinner at the restaurant on site and we were pleasantly surprised at the caliber of the food, well above standard "hotel" dining. This carried through to the food which was served to us at the wedding, again well above what we expected. There are a variety of activities available, but we felt that the property didn't quite rise to the "resort" bar. Again, winter might be completely different.
