Parker Pie was a really good dinner option on a Thursday evening in July 2026 when it was just…read morestarting to rain. It's about a 15-minute drive from the north shore of Lake Willoughby. You'll see a general store - Parker Pie is the red building on the back side. It has lots of pluses. First, we enjoyed the open-mic night with live music on Thursdays from 6pm-9pm. Second, the pizza was OK but the salads were superb (the blue cheese was from Jasper Hill Farm in Greensboro, VT). Third, Hill Farmstead beers are on tap (which were very high quality). On the minus side, the "back bar" area had limited seating (it was quite crowded). Service was OK. You must order first and pre-pay at the front (giving your name and seating location), then wait for the staff to bring your pizza and salad to you. Be sure to pack your patience - it can take a while for the food to arrive if it's crowded!

Stopped by and ordered two large pizzas..plain cheese and a sausage and mushroom. They do not fool around with the amount of cheese and you can tell the mushrooms are fresh (yum!)! Sauce is good too! I'm not a big fan of Greek style crust (which I felt this was) but it was good.... Service was friendly and the time estimate was on the nose! Will definitely go again! As a note - there is a pizza place across the road...the Vermont Pie & Pasta Company...but, if you check the menu they are serving "pizza" and not PIZZA! I'm sure the food is good but it depends on what you're looking for..

While wandering through town, we came across Cabot Creamery at the Yellow Barn and what an absolute gem of a discovery! From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed by the warm. The ambiance was inviting and cozy, with a small-town charm that immediately made us feel at home. You can tell the team here puts a lot of care into creating a memorable experience for visitors. We sampled several of their incredible cheeses, including their current oldest an astonishing 10-year-aged cheddar that was rich, sharp, and full of complex flavor. The staff were not only knowledgeable but also genuinely enthusiastic about helping us navigate the variety of offerings. We ended up purchasing the White Oak Cheddar Cheese, the unforgettable 10-Year Cheddar, Wozz Green Tom Jalap Spread (a perfect savory kick!), and the BHP CP Raspberry Mostarda, which added a beautifully sweet and tangy touch to our cheese pairings. If you're ever in the Hardwick area or even remotely nearby do yourself a favor and make a stop at this delightful cheese shop. It's well worth the detour!

The ladies running the place are super sweet, but the chef is truly the star of the show. She single-handedly slays that tiny kitchen and produces great food at breakneck speeds. Her whole prep area is about 2ft by 2ft. When we arrived, there were six others that had just arrived too. She whirls around that tiny kitchen, whipping up masterpieces, all the while chatting up the regulars sitting at the counter. We had a traditional breakfast of eggs, potatoes, bacon, pancakes and toast. All of it hot and delicious. I highly recommend you stop in if you get the chance.

We heard of the Kingdom trails but didn't realize how much we'd love the area and all it has to offer. The Publick house is off the main street and near the trails/Mike's Tiki Bar. It's a cool old structure/barn that has a lot of charm if you appreciate the preserved nature of old places! There's plenty of parking nearby or in the Tiki bar lot. Bikers everywhere and the place was packed. We got lucky and were seated immediately around 7:30 on Saturday evening. We'd biked all day so we were starving and started things off with poutine. We also added on some burgers and mac n' cheese. It's bar food well done because everything was delicious. The poutine was massive and the 3 of us devoured that dish. My burger had some maple syrup and was unbelievable. Our waitress was phenomenal! Great vibe, great visit and reasonably priced - thank you Publick!
