Puddledock Grill & Scoop

Friendly, fast service ,delicious fresh food. Always running special burgers that are not on her large menu. Gluten free options and vegan. Family friendly with a kids area and corn hole. Cash /Venmo only. She’s only open weekends. To address those butt hurt individuals that posted low reviews. There are signs ( 3) that say no out side food or drinks. She’s running a business no other establishment would allow that. As a cyclist myself. Ive always felt welcomed! However, I’ve seen rude cyclists towards the owner when they don’t get their way., like bringing in their own food or mad because they can’t get free water ( she sells bottled water!) or that the port a potty is locked . It’s for customers. She has to pay for it for us to use. (She also bought a large bike rack for us!) She didn’t have the restroom when she first started. I’ve seen some of you flipped her off, swear and try to intimidate her. Behavior unnecessary and unbecoming of users of the railtrail. There is a sign on the grass with the tree and electric sign is, that simply states to stay off the grass and do not rest stop here. It’s on a post near the handmade stone wall Trying to get the grass to grow and stones to not be knocked off. I get it. It’s personal property. If you don’t want her to call out to you “ please stay off the grass” because I’ve heard her say it! then read and respect her signs and property. Grow up!! The seating area is roped off for the reason of when she’s closed. So cyclists don’t make themselves at home. It’s still private property If you’re offended by that, that’s your problem. She’s opened a food trailer on HER property, it’s not owned by the Railtrail.. she didn’t open it only for the LVRT. Users She’s offering a service for us to enjoy. It’s not hard to be thankful and kind to the owner. She does it all by herself. Just talk to her you will see how kind she is. I’ve also seen her apologize to some of you to make it clear as to why she’s “ singled you out” and because she doesn’t want to be seem as unfriendly but some you guys just come across as entitled assholes! There’s no where else this end of the trail. Many of us are grateful for that! I’ve been stopping here for 3 years now. I will continue to support her. Thank you Puddledock!! Edited : I so happen to stopped here at Puddledock Sunday 8/31.( I frequent it about 1-2x a month) The place was pretty busy. I did see Sarah the one who posted a low review) with a man picnicking on the grass in the wooden fence are a. The owner did go over and said “ hi and Sarah said hi back. The owner asked if they were customers and she said no. The owners said kindly leave and the Guy said when I’m done eating . The owner said no you’ll leave now. There’s a park just down the road you can eat at. Turning away headed back to serve other customers. Not once did she yell at them! Sarah was just put out having to leave. There are signs that say don’t rest here, customers only! Just because she neglected to read it or just plain ignored it because of the lack of information about the park that’s on them. Sarah is right though that if cyclists don’t plan on eating at this establishment they should NOT stop! I had the VT Steak sandwich which came with fries. It was amazing. The VT bacon jam is amazing! Highly recommend Sat 10/11/25 Beautiful day on the trail stopped in again to see what the specials were there were gobbler fries, gobbler burger and a leaf peeper pepper burger. I opted for the gobbler burger which was delicious. Pretty busy here today and the owner was pretty creative with some decorations. I did see some fellow cyclists that drove through the line of orange cones like it didn’t mean anything. The owner didn’t say anything to them. I guess she’s figured what’s the point when people can’t honor or respect boundaries. She’s always friendly and lets you know if there’s a few orders ahead of them. I asked if she was by herself today and she said yes She was sorry about the wait I told her I wait longer at other places. She’s hoping to stay open until the end of month

Great place to go if your gluten free so many options and the owner is very careful of cross contamination only cooks fries in fryer all gravy is made gluten free super yummy and amazing
