"Eclectic Tourist attraction as you make your way from New York to Vermont, or Vermont to New York. You are sure to find something of value here; whether it be their food, or their traveling information. Need a gift for someone hard to please, or someone that is particular and delights in things other than the typical humdrum postcard? Well, the Big Moose likely has what you're looking for. Really, how can a place that has ceramic cows with antlers on the roof disappoint?" ~ RoadTrippers

They Serve here?
Barbecue, Sandwiches, Subs; Ice Cream, French Fires, Hot Dogs and Famous pulled pork

"As I drove north on Route 7 my eye was drawn to just over the hill where I though I had seen some statues of Cows with Antlers! Well I confirmed my vision as I entered into the driveway of this little place crammed with weird figures all around the building. Entering through the front doors I see people outside sitting at tables, but were they real people??

"Entering sideways as to avoid traffic my eyes are dazzled and amazed by shelves and displays of everything from jams, jellies, maple syrup, coffee cups, hats, and too much other stuff to mention here. Absolutely entertaining, it must have taken them months to fill this place up. As I again went sideways down all the aisles and into a couple of adjoining rooms I was thoroughly entertained and excited.

"Finally I thought I'd order some food but where's the ordering station?? After carefully examining the area near the entrance I spotted a guy who did not seem to be a patron and asked where I order food. He said right here. Got a paper menu with about 40 items all looking delicious!

"Ordered the O'Moose, corned beef, coleslaw, Swiss, and Horde-mayo on a whole wheat panini. God, I got have ate six of them!!! My wife got the Chicken Pesto wrap and with grilled chicken, roasted red peppers, Mozzarella, Onions, and Pesto-Mayo on a spinach wrap - she devoured it!!!

"Don’t even remember how much I paid as it was so much fun!

"Sorry to be so dramatic about everything but this place is SWEET

"No reservations needed (you can eat outside at several tables as long as you don't mind all the fake people you may see sitting next to you) just bring a good appetite and your camera." ~ TonyK 300 on TripAdvisor
