Castleton Snack Bar

I stopped by the Castleton Snack Bar for lunch recently while heading towards Rutland.
This outside drive-​in restaurant (snack bar) is located off US Route 4, along VT Route 4A and serving up ice cream and hot foods. This snack bar offers Hershey’s Ice Cream (hard), 24 flavors of soft serve ice cream, low fat frozen yogurt, shakes, floats, sundaes, burgers, hot dogs (short & long), corn dogs, chicken, fried seafood, grilled sandwiches, a decent selection of fried foods, and Coke fountain drinks. Bring the dog since they offer the «Dog Dish» for the pooch.
The prices here are fair, a small cone is around $ 2, sundaes $ 3.75, banana splits $ 5 and most sandwiches are $ 2.85-$ 5.50 before tax. A lobsta salad roll is $ 5.95. Sandwiches and burgers can be upgraded into boats (fries and drink) for $ 3.30 more.
This snack bar has outside order/​takeout windows with picnic table seating next to the building.
I ordered a Steak & Cheese Sandwich ($ 5.50) with grilled onions & peppers and Fried Pickles ($ 3.25), which was ready in about 10 minutes after ordering. The food tasted pretty good, similar to fair food. The fried (dill) pickle chips had a crispy and very spicy tasting cornmeal batter (a bit greasy) with ranch dressing on the side for dipping. The steak and cheese sandwich had thin shaved steak, green pepper, red peppers, sweet onions, and lots of melted cheese on a grilled hoagie roll.
However, steak & cheese sandwich was extremely greasy, soaking right through the paper bag and through several newspapers on my car seat. While I enjoyed the steak sandwich less the excess grease, I was definitely not a happy camper cleaning up the grease in the car.
If you enjoy greasy drive-​in food and some ice cream at fair prices, this roadside stand is good place to stop.
