Kountry Kart Deli: Burlington's Midnight Hot Spot


If you live in Burlington or go to Burlington, then you've heard of the Kountry Kart Deli, in fact you've most likely eaten there. College students and businessmen alike flock to this eatery like moths to a flame. What makes this place so special you ask? Is it the inexpensive fair? Is it the overwhelming choice of drinks? Is it the mostly friendly and incredibly fast service? Well, it's all of the above as well as having an incredible menu that caters to meat eaters and vegetarians alike.

What do most people come here for? That's easy, it's the Rise & Shiner. Day or night you can order this breakfast sandwich which comes on a toasted roll with cheese (I believe it's american cheese unfortunately), hashbrowns, and egg (usually over hard), with your choice of ham, bacon, sausage, taylor pork, or philly steak. What if you can't decide which meat you want? Get the barnyard riser or shiner (the riser is without hashbrowns).

Beyond the Rise & Shiner the KKD offers other sandwiches that I would say are just as good if not better such as the Mike's Falafal, the Chicken Parmesan, and the Vermonter. I've spent many a drunken evening here waiting in line to get my food anticipating what awaits and I have to say that no matter how long I've had to wait it's been worth it each time.

Now, there are mixed reviews about this place, but you'll have that with any restaraunt, especially one as popular is this, but I would suggest going and trying it out. The lines may seem daunting, but they usually get the food out really quickly.
