I bought a wonderful hat two years ago that is one of my all time favorites.

Scotties of Colchester
OMG why didn't we know that Scotties was here!! Located on Route 85 east of downtown Colchester, this roadside stand is amazing. If you have never had frozen custard you have no idea what you are missing. It is soft serve with eggs added and it is so much creamier than regular soft serve. The feeling in your mouth is decadent.
If you have memories from your childhood of stopping at a roadside stand for a hotdog, hamburger and fries Scotties will make you feel like you are a kid again. I had a footlong hotdog with mustard, fresh chopped onions and relish. It had that perfect snap that I expect and it was in a delicious grilled bun.
Kasey had a grilled chicken sandwich. She loved the fresh lettuce, tomato and grilled chicken, a healthy choice. Jack had chicken tenders and he did not leave a bite. Kasey and I shared an order of sweet potato fries and we were well satisfied.
You can get your order to go or sit at one of the picnic tables under cover. We sat at the picnic table. I was too full to have custard but I did ask for a sample and was given a generous spoon of vanilla. My taste buds started singing lol I am afraid that next time it will be custard first!!
Jack had a cone with sprinkles and a swirl of vanilla and chocolate, Kasey had a single scoop of coconut. (they have lots of flavors).
We were thrilled to have found Scotties and it will now be a regular stop for us. If you haven't tried them yet, it is time for a roadtrip!!
