TJ's Lunch Counter, Wells River, Vermont

We were heading to P & H Truck Stop in Wells River, Vermont, for breakfast en route to the White Mountains, when we happened to stop at a flea market just off the highway. As were chatting to some of the vendors the subject of breakfast came up, and TJ's Lunch Counter was voted their first choice for breakfast, so we went with the flow and checked out TJ's instead. What a superb find! TJ's shares a space with the town's pharmacy—the diner is on the left side, and the pharmacy/general store is on the right. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the food was fresh and tasty. Everyone knew each other.
I felt Norman Rockwell might have stopped in on his travelsit reminded me of his 1958 Saturday Evening Post cover "The Runaway," which was set in Joe's Diner, Lee, Massachusetts

This Wells River Breakfast was delicious, and a great deal for $5.69, which includes coffee!
