I’ve heard this question from a lot of people on my journey across this beautiful, wonderful, oddball state. They say to me, “Vermont isn’t known for its Onion rings,”
Seb’s Snack Bar
Serving the tourists who come, largely seasonally,[2] to South Hero and the Islands, one of the attractions in South Hero includes the Allenholm Farm, a fully functional farm complete with petting zoo and homemade pies.
Rays’s Seafood Market
The first thing that strikes you as you come to Ray’s is that it’s off the beaten path. Unassuming, with a lighthouse built into the roof, you may think you’re in a coastal New England town, not in a parking lot overlooking the Champlain Valley in the hills of Essex Junction, Vermont. As you step in and look around, the restaurant/store is unassuming.
Maxi’s Restaurant
Right off of route 89, as you make the turn into the town of Waterbury, Vermont, you will find the little restaurant Maxi’s. Maxi’s has a small footprint, but the owners have done a lot with their limited space. You’ll have to wait for a table during rush times of the day, but the friendly staff is prepared. There’s even a small desk and supplies to entertain your restless child as you wait to be served.
