Dining at the Rabbit Hill Inn was a culinary experience unlike any other in the Northeast Kingdom. Located in Lower Waterford, this restaurant is in the most southern area of the NEK, but the drive is more than worth it.

Goob’s Barbecue may be a funny name for a restaurant in Derby Line, Vermont but there is nothing funny about the food they serve. We have been meaning to swing up to this eatery for quite some time, though it is a little far from our current location.
