Just sooo good. Order the South of the Border (beef) burger, which comes with home-made chipotle sauce, sliced jalapenos, vermont jack cheddar cheese, lettuce and tomato on a fresh bun and simply substitute the Creek House’s home-made veggie burger for the beef burger.   You can see the fresh peas, carrots and red onions right in the burger.   Yum.   Oh, and if you’re really feeling daring, get the outrageously tasty sweet potato fries as their purpose in life is to be eaten with the veg burger.  For dessert, get one of the Creek House’s maple creamie soft ice cream cones ANY TIME OF YEAR.  Real locally produced maple syrup in a custardy ice cream.   This is the lunch or dinner of champions, all for about 10 bucks!
