This gem is a seasonal restaurant so you have to catch them at the right time. It is open in the fall and then is open in the late winter to early spring. If you are planning to visit on the weekend be prepared to wait 2 hours or more as this is always a popular spot. The wait is... More

We grew up in htis area and have been going to Gould's as a rite of Spring for years. This is a nice family run breakfast/lunch location. Bring the kids to learn how maple sap is transformed into syrup, sugar and my favorite maple cream. Sign up for the dining room when you enter then you can sit by the... More

Wonderful step back into the past. Family tradition of making maple syrup comes alive! Watch the maple syrup being made and feel the heat and steam right in your face. Meet the owners and get the best breakfast you will ever experience in a building from the past century.

We went up to Goulds on a semi-annual trip for our usual fix of corn fritters! Just as yummy as ever. One of our party had the pancakes and they were wonderful too. Very crowded and a long wait (Sat) but its worth it. A weekday would be better. They will close for the season the last Sunday of April

Be ready for a wait if you're there for pancakes - but there's a reason. Then again, while you're waiting for your table, you get to spend time watching the maple sap reduction process, and the seemingly endless amount of firewood consumed in the process. Mrs. Gould still greets diners, and the shop has syrup and maple goodies for sale.... More

One of the best places to go during maple sugaring season. Love the casual family atmosphere and watching the boiling of the sap is fun. The food and service is geat and very kid friendly.

I know this is a very popular place, but when we went the wait was sooooo long that I began to wonder if it was worth it! The gift shop has a few things to browse at, but nothing spectacular. Waiting in a sugar house with kids can be trying, and Gould's does have little maple ice cream cones for... More

This is a seasonal place with a maple sugar based menu, very limited but a good sugar house. Great corn fritters with syrup. Rustic atmosphere. Menu seldom changed. Worth a stop.

This place is out there, that's for sure. And they do have very good pancakes, with what is no doubt real maple syrup. My wife had the blueberry pancakes so I got to try those also. Very good. The bacon was good. Thick, crispy, with a good smoked taste. The only reason I went 4 stars instead of 5, are... More
