“We’ve driven by Almost There many times. The parking lot is always packed. But to our surprise they had more than ample seating inside and out. We opted for the Thursday special of fish & chips, which was lightly breaded Yankee style haddock. Two fish & chips for $23.99 (regular price $17.99 each) From the time we walked in and had no waiting (at 630pm) to our amazing service. The food was definitely delicious. Yes great seafood in the mountains 😊. Since it is just 40 minutes (pretty much normal timing) to this restaurant we will definitely be back to try out much more of their menu.”

“We had Cheese Louise cater our wedding, that had a music festival theme, and they knocked it out of the park! The appetizers were incredible, and everyone loved the variety of the grilled cheeses on the menu. The food really tied the theme together!”

“This is our go to ice cream place in the summer ... I usually get Moose tracks.. however I tried the breakfast for dinner .. So good ... my new favorite... their Ice coffee is great also .. my daughters enjoy the maple ice cream as well .. the best place for ice cream if you're in the area.”

“As a celiac of 28 years this place is a dream come true. The owner and her staff are the most lovely people. They always accommodate my needs and never make me feel like a burden. Every single thing I’ve ever eaten or drank here is mind blowing-ly delicious! The biscuit breakfast sandwich is some sort of magical epiphany. You would NEVER know that it’s vegan! I am not vegan, but that biscuit with the vegan eggs and sausage are not just good enough they are top notch culinary excellence. I drive over an hour and a half, one way to get a taste of these culinary delights! Don’t just eat here because you have to, eat here because you should!!”

“We ordered pistachio ricotta, triple chocolate and raspberry lemon mousse as well as torta del nonna, tiramisu and cannelloni to serve as desserts at my daughters wedding - and they were all absolutely delicious. Everyone commented on how amazing they all were. We were so lucky to find Cafe Italia and Lory - who was amazing to work with and so kind - and what a talented baker!! Would highly recommend for any event!!”

“The wicked winter salad is delicious”

“Amazing place, great donuts, the best anywhere. The staff is so helpful and friendly, they honestly enjoy what they do. You can not go wrong, unless you’re too late, because they sell out quicker than you’d think. Good, quality products will do just that! Good variety as well, BRAVO!!!”

“Fantastic breakfast. Homemade cooking, super clean, grt service and consistant. A must go to place...We have been going here for the past 25 years.”

“Best grilled cheese and tomato soup and the secret sauce to top it off! Highly recommend!!”

“Pure Magic. visiting from Florida and was dragged into this little gem. decor is very cool. a "Wizard of Oz" theme and cupcakes that would make the wicked witch chuckle in delight... bought 2, then bought two more the next day and had to bring a few home with me... the Turkey Club was MASSIVE... hint for families.. its sharable.”

“You must dine here! In addition to the food being delicious, the staff are so welcoming and friendly. The service my boyfriend I received while dining made us feel right at home despite it being our first time in. This restaurant, and the people who work there are bright lights in this world!”

“We had trails end ice cream provide an ice cream truck at our wedding!! We loved it so much and Nancy was awesome! All our guests loved the special touch and Nancy even brought an extra fall pumpkin flavor free of charge. She let the bride and groom go inside the ice cream truck to take pictures! Highly recommend if you are looking for an ice cream truck for your wedding! One of the best parts of the night.”

“Gotta say best place on RT 16!! Awesome food and drinks! Service leaves much to be desired (jk Danielle🤪) they’re the best! Highly recommend!!”

“Maple iced latte is my favorite, spro beans are great for home espresso machine as well. Love this place”

“I don’t know where to begin. The atmosphere was amazing. The restaurant was old Irish vibes and they had a live Irish folk band sitting around a table playing. The waitress was spectacular. Knowledgable of the menu and beer list and wonderful at letting us know when orders were placed and delivery. The food was probably the best Irish cuisine I’ve had to this date. The trio sampler of Shepard’s Pie, Chicken Pot Pie, and Beef Stew were all flavorful. My girlfriends grilled peach and goat cheese salad was so full of flavors and the bacon and walnuts gave it a good crunch, my moms Ruben and butternut squash were amazing and I had the corned beef and cabbage. All were out of this world. Can’t say enough good things.”

“😃Great food, I am still thinking about the pasta I had 4 days later!! So good, service was great and very family friendly.”

“Underground Bakery & Cafe was a recent find and will be a daily stop while we’re on vacation! The iced coffee is amazing and has coffee iced cubes so it doesn’t get watery. They have homemade pastries and treats, we tried the ring ding and salted caramel cake which were both 10/10. I highly recommend this local gem!”

“Really excellent little bakery serving delicious pastries and breads. We tried the cinnamon roll, blackberry spice scone, granola, and organic sourdough; all were outstanding!”

“I had to come here and post a story that happened to a couple buddies and I a few years ago and how helpful muddy moose is . We were out fishing over the long weekend in may, it’s later in the evening and my one buddy says man wouldn’t it be cool to get a poutine ? Of course we all agree so we bust a phone out in the boat, search muddy moose up quick and hit dial not really paying much attention to it . Anyhow some very nice lady answers and we ask if they are still open to which she replies “ yes we are for another 30 min” . Well we’re like game on ! So we ask for three poutines to which the kind lady replies “ what’s a poutine “ answering her question kind of scratching our heads? How could you not know what this is ? Anyhow I’m sure we sounded hick with the frogs, boat motor, and three Canadians chirping each other through the call. She says oh yes we can make that for you and can have it in a bag for when you get here . Well now we are racing across a lake , jumping in a truck , racing down a muddy back road , down the highway , and yes we had about it two minutes to spare when we got to the Moose . When I ran in the door asking for our order a friend of ours is like “ uh dudes the grill has been closed for an hour” ??? We called the wrong muddy moose …. 🫎 we called you guys 1500km away . Woops . We ended up calling back after realizing our mistake , boy did we laugh , the lady couldn’t stop laughing either . We offered to pay over the phone but the lady said it was an honest mistake and a funny one and that she would offer up the poutines for a couple guests in the store . Good times . When I can get down there on my bike I plan on planning a stop just to order a meal .”

“ABSOLUTELY THE BEST PLACE in the area to enjoy a beer and pizza! Trivia Night is phenomenal, musical guests are such an added bonus! Large gatherings/events are easy and communication is top notch! You honestly can’t beat Tuckermans for beer, food and ambiance!!”

“On vacation and this place was packed, but for good reason! The food and service was beyond spectacular! Everything was so yummy! Thank you Chef's Bistro!”

“Best meatball sub I have had in a long time YUM!!”

“It was our first time to this restaurant although we frequently come to the area. Our waitress was Addie. She was exceptional, kind, attentive, personable and efficient. Our food was outstanding and we cannot wait to come back next time we are here! Our kids loved how their pictures made the menu covers!!”

“Needed 2 plain chocolate cupcakes. She made them on the spot. Many delicious things available, but my audience wanted plain and simple chocolate and white frosting. (They were devoured, by the way).

Owner is very nice, friendly, and, in my case, accommodating.”

“The service and food were both top notch! The open face wagyu was absolutely delicious! We had two little ones with us and very accommodating staff. The food was ready quickly and served piping hot. Absolutely one of our favorite go to places now.”

“Beautiful setting. No crowds. Great staff. Great menu and absolutely the best fish sandwich you'll ever have!!!”

“I wasn’t expecting much from an Asian restaurant located in an outlet mall, but this one definitely surpassed my expectations. The satay bowl and Khao Soi were great and hit all the right spots. I would say one of the best Asian food I’ve tried in the New England area!”

“Great food! Love the pizza! Delicious! Great subs too! Nice staff!”

“Great staff, Great Food, Great View”
