For 23 years the crowds have been lining up on weekends outside Good Enough To Eat to experience chef/owner Carrie Levin's incredible breakfasts; as a result, lunch and dinner have been somewhat overlooked. Too bad, because these meals can be just as great as the breakfasts. The restaurant's cow motif and farmhouse knickknacks imply hearty, home-cooked food, and that's what's done best here. Stick with the classics: meat loaf with gravy and mashed potatoes; traditional turkey dinner with cranberry relish, gravy, and cornbread stuffing; macaroni and cheese; griddled corn bread; Vermont spinach salad; and the BBQ sandwich, roasted chicken with barbecue sauce and homemade potato chips. And save room for the homemade desserts; though the selection is often overwhelming, I can never resist the coconut cake. This is food you loved as a kid, one reason why the kids will love it as well.

There are only 20 tables here, so expect a wait on weekends during the day or for dinner after six.
