The Trappers Shack - Fort Vermilion

I never ate at the Trappers Shack Cafe I lived in back . I have pictures and I am so overjoyed to see it still standing. I lived in Chicago, Montreal, the NWT, Militia Michigan and Fort Vermilion is sacred ground to two old Red Sea Pedestrians. Doctor Claire and I love old diners. We are in Southern Quebec in the most beautiful little Hockeytown you ever saw. Does anyone want to operate a Truck Stop? We had no winter I remember the Flame it was cool in 1988. I wish the Ag Farm would be restored and the Monsanto Gangsters were kept south of Cardston. You know Montana Slim was from Banff and he taught Mother MayBelle how to sing and Hank Williams how to Yodel. Has anyone listened to Wilf Carter's Calgary Rodeo Album on you tube it is a wow. Doctor Claire was born in Nashville at Vanderbilt Hospital. Nashville as in't country it is all Hollywood and Vegas. We slept at the Buchanan Log House and Mathilda is a friendly ghost Doctor Claire is still studying philosophy and yours truly is almost blind but very happy here high in the Appalachians next to Quebec's Appalachian trail where it has rained for forty days and forty nights times ten.

This is the first time I've eaten here since it was The Trapper Shack several years ago. The food is decent and from what I could see, similar to how it was back then. It is typical greasy spoon type of fare such as burgers, sandwiches, fries, and pizza. The restaurant appeared clean and organized, and retains the same rustic character that it had originally. The service, however, could use some polish. The proprietor, who appeared to be the sole employee, did not go over and above in his customer service, and could use a few pointers in the art of hospitality. That being said it's nice to see this place alive again in Fort Vermilion and it is worth a stop if you are in the area.

I had the special of the day: turkey served with gravy, potatoes and homemade cranberry sauce on a waffle of filling! Delicious! As a tourist who lived in a large Canadian town, it was one of the best meals I ever had in a small community restaurant.
