The Fuzzy Pig

Neat place for a day trip, all kinds of things and bric-​à-​brac all over on several floors… beware those with cat Allergies they all over the inside and outside the barn and store. as we got there after the restaurant closed at 12noon can’t say anything about their food.

My husband wanted to visit Whitewater. I looked up a few places on Unilocal and we headed out. First stop The Fuzzy Pig, located out in the middle of farmland, in a converted farmhouse and barn. In the house they serve lunch and only on Sunday (Today) breakfast. When we arrived we saw a cute little farm. But, the real cuteness is inside the home/​restaurant. First, there is an old fashion soda shop, small, but cute. Then around the corner are several rooms for seating. I ordered the eggs Benedict, which I make at home from scratch often, so I asked if the Hollandaise sauce was from scratch and was told yes. Ok, that settles that. It was very good. Then after breakfast we walked through 3 stories of antiques, homemade soaps, knitted blankets, handmade winter gloves, along with lots of new items for decorating. And, the serve was amazing, the people friendly and the restrooms (which I don’t normally notice) were cute themselves and very clean. And, it appears they are expanding into an additional building, so we are looking forward to our next visit. oh and my Yorkie stayed the heated truck for breakfast, but they let me bring him shopping, and he found a new doggie bed.

The shop was cute, however the restaurant not so much. There was a big farm dog laying by the kitchen and the food was very plain and overpriced for what it was.

There was a cute store that we would recommended. However the restaurant was odd. We walked in to find a big, dirty dog laying on the ground in front of us. The food was as as plain as the server’s personality.

I’ve been here twice now, & am planning to take my boyfriend back for his birthday. It’s a beautiful drive, very charming place, and awesome food. I had the sherpherd’s pie both times and probably will have it again, scrumptious! Highly recommended. The barn shops are also very fun to wander through, it makes for a very enjoyable day trip.

Very pretty, country restaurant and really nice people. The day we were there the cook also had to be the server and she did a good job at doing both. I do agree that the portions are small for the price but the food was fresh with good flavor. We very much liked the potato salad and apple baked beans. We will definitely be back to the restaurant. We stopped by the store and it is huge! The owner did an amazing job restoring and building out the barn. The types of things they sell aren’t our taste, but it was fun to walk around and look.

Haven’t been to the FP in a while, but from what I remember, the food was pretty good. Your standard American sandwich and burger fare. The bread they use for sandwiches is pretty interesting, very doughy and risen high. They also make good potato salad as a side. Sort of pricey for the amount of food you get, but you’re supporting a local business so I would say it’s worth it. What makes this place unique is that there’s this small-​town craft shop right next to it, so it makes for a good post-​meal, digestion diversion.
One complaint is the location. I wish they would consider moving closer to town instead of where they are now.

My husband and I had dinner at Epicurean Nights, which uses the space at the Fuzzy Pig Wednesday — Saturday evenings. According to our innkeeper, Epicurean Nights is an opportunity for a chef to test out ideas for a restaurant that will eventually open in Whitewater. We thought that the meal was excellent. I am severely gluten intolerant, and the chef understood my issues and was able to prepare the special (clementine chicken) gluten free for me. He also recognized that the standardly served mash potatoes have wheat in the seasonings and SPECIAL MADE A BATCH OF MASHED POTATOES JUST FOR ME. Talk about going above and beyond! My husband really enjoyed his non-​gluten free pork dish as well. If Epicurean Nights were open Sunday or Monday, we’d go back each night for the rest of our vacation in Whitewater.

The fuzzy pig itself is interesting if you are into antiques and that kind of thing. It is pretty expensive but it can be fun to just wander. My problem is with the restaurant… I think it is called «The Heritage Room.» There is not one vegetarian option but I guess that is somewhat understandable considering it is in the middle of nowhere. My real problem was that they charged me $ 0.50 when I asked for a lemon in my disgusting tasting well water. Seriously? You are going to charge for a slice of lemon. Maybe I am nuts but that is the most ridiculous thing I have ever experienced. Also, the coffee was luke warm at best and bitter, the soup was cold and the place was freezing. Maybe they are trying to save a buck by keeping everything cold and charging for lemon slices!!! I will never go back. Oh, and by the way… the food was awful too!
Long story short… check out the antiques and skip the food!

Over the course of this summer, the owner has been investing in quite a few upgrades to his space. There is now extensive, gravelled parking, and it looks like they’ll be ready to go with a barber shop and hunt club in the next few months. There’s even a rumor of an acupuncturist setting up shop there. Truly, now, there is no reason not to visit!
