My wife, our one-year-old and I went to the Wayside Restaurant during our trip to VT in October 2007. For whatever reason, my GPS could not find Berlin, VT, which wasn't marked in our thick road atlas either. We managed to find our way there finally, although we took exit 8, instead of 7, off I-89. It was definitely worth it!
For about $26 we had two specials (traditional turkey dinner and a Montreal-style pork loin), two large soft drinks, two slices of pie, and a coffee. Both entrees were excellent and the size was just right. Turkey came with stuffing, which was a nice complement. Each entree came with two sides. Following the suggestion on the menu, which read "An apple pie without cheese is like a hug without a squeeze," I ordered a slice of apple pie with cheese. To my greatest surprise, the pie only had a hint of cinnamon, which was just perfect.
Overall: Worth planning a day around

"Wayside Restaurant is worth a stop for the pie alone ... but there is much, much more."

"No shortcuts here! That is real turkey on the hot turkey sandwich and those are not instant mashed potatoes. "
