Not sure how it works in Boston, but a lot of of restaurants around here (White River Junction) are closed Monday and Tuesday so plan accordingly.

As mentioned, Tuckerbox is good if you’re digging Turkish fare, but parking can suck. There’s also Big Fatty’s if you like BBQ. IMO, it’s better than Wicked Awesome BBQ, but further off the 89, 91 interchange and they are both New England BBQ, so… yeah. Taj-E is good Indian, but it’s takeout only.

West Lebanon has the chain stores, (Applebees, Chilis, 99, etc) which are meh. Lui Lui’s has good wood fired calazone and some other Italian adjacent foods. Men At Wok is decent asian food, but you’ll find better 10 minutes N in Hanover. Guzano’s is good Mexica fare. Koto is hit or miss hibachi.

In Quechee… Just keep driving, everything there (except subway) is overpriced and mediocre (including subway). The closer to the gorge, the worse it gets.

Woodstock has quite a few places, but is a tourist town, with tourist prices and times.

If you go up to Hanover (91 N after passing into VT from West Leb on 89), you’ll find several good places of virtually all flavors as one would expect from a college town. Haven’t been to an unfriendly one yet. Parking is a certified challenge.

Barre has mostly fast food. But it also has a Pizza Hutt. Being the wife is from Kansas, we have to hit that place. Pretty sure it’s in the Kansas Constitution, a mandate on the birth certificate or some weird genetic memory that gives her that desire.

Montpelier has some decent places on and off Main. We usually hit up the Mad Taco. If the Mrs is feeling curry, we’ll hit the Pho Capital. Not the best I’ve had, but good enough. Really though, at this point, you’re less than an hour from Burlington which is loaded down with restaurants.
