Not at all IMHO. It needs to be an establishment that has either super large portions or unique creative twists on the usual dish, or both.

Having lived in the Lakes Region for six years, we had never been to the VK until last night. FABULOUS!! There were four of us, most tables were occupied, but we got right in and had wonderfully prompt service. The food was outstanding! I'm so glad we tried it because now we will be regulars -- and it's especially good to know they are open year-round!!!

I did my first snowmobile work day in the am, then stopped at vk for a delicious open turkey sandwich which led to a great nap!!

Let's see if I have it straight...

Bob does most of the posting after he hijacked his wife Sammie's account here Sammie drives the SUV with the SAMIAM plates and Bob drives a pickup with the grandkids initials on the plate.

Now I'm hungry, I think I will shoot to the VK for lunch!

Not on 128....she rarely drives in Mass. Was it a NH plate?
My wife Sammie has had SAMIAM for 35 years. We have seen other variations such as SAM1AM, SAMIAM+ and so forth but she is the original

[secondcurve]

Yes. Nh plate 128 south below 93. Jeep I think. Maybe it was a slightly different spelling. I've seen at a few times in the last year. I'll look closer next time.

I finally got to try The VK today after golfing at Ridgewood. I started with wild mushrooma and rice soup which was very tasty then enjoyed my meatloaf dinner so much I had to add on lemon mer range pie for dessert.

I almost past on the visit when i saw the tour bus in the parking lot. Glad I didn't. The staff did a GREAT job handleing the bus load as well as this loan diner.

VK nailed it forme when I had a craving for country cooking and friendly service.

Thanks

Thanks for the kind words Baygo....and right back at you for the awesome visit this summer that my whole tribe (including grandkids) enjoyed at your place. First tapas experience for the little ones and they were giddy for each new course. So much fun.

I forgot to mention how much I enjoyed the spectacular view out the back windows. What is the name of the very beautiful blue flowering wine you have growing in the foreground? It's enormous and proof that your guests are not the only to be fed well.

Everyone should get by there soon to take in the view!

Sammie planted a bunch of morning glories but there is a big birdhouse under that tangle .....birds don't seem to mind.

I saw SAMIAM (NH plate) on a Honda van, light green or grey, this morning in Derry heading north into Londoderry on Rte 28. I did not write down the excat letters used but I thought of this thread right away.

Had lunch at VK on 10/18 - the terrific pot roast sandwich - clearly the leftovers from the Pot Roast dinner - and cannot tell you how wonderful it was. It was as if my mother's spectacular pot roast had returned. GREAT JOB. LOVE THE VK

My Mother always told me, " If you can't............well.......you know the rest!

Well, if you read the 58 posts before yours you may notice that everyone has nice things to say about the Village Kitchen. That includes me. I have been going there for years and enjoy the excellent food and very pleasant staff. I especially enjoy going there for breakfast because the service is great and the waitresses are so pleasant!

Sometimes when you are the only one complaining you have to think...............Maybe it's.....................

[tummyman]

VK is a terrific spot. Have found the waitress staff to be very hard working and they make every effort to accommodate folks. Food is great.....never had a bad meal or a bad experience. Seth the night cook is top notch. Makes terrific lobster chowder and clam chowder. This is a family atmosphere restaurant. If the staff bothers you this much, maybe it is time to just look elsewhere. These folks work VERY hard and I know many of them by first name.

As participants in this forum, which I feel IMHO is one of the best Vacation Website forums in the country (Thanks to our Webmaster) we often offer our opinions about "things" like boats, lodging, fish, photos, and so on...but we often fall into a diatribe about people and things get personal...
I think we need to remember "Judging a person does not define who they are.....it defines who you are! "

Glad to see you back on the forum and survived the winter. It's been a while since you posted.

It's been a number of years, do they serve adult beverages. Tx!

"Was annoyed to see her working at night and more annoyed to hear her phone start ringing when serving us."

Really? For all you know she was waiting for a very important call. Maybe a family member is in the hospital for a procedure, a birth, or maybe a family member is expecting to land any minute after serving over seas. Who knows? And maybe there is a good reason for her to be "cranky". Did you try asking her if there was a problem? Sometimes a kind word can change somebody's attitude and you can both part ways happier. Jeepers, some can just complain about anything.

Hang on, a server with a cell phone active is just 100% wrong ! You never see servers with cell phones . Let's not get carried away justifying this because we like the owner

Not a big selection but beer and wine is available.
