The diner at the Quechee tourist complex that includes an antique market, distillery and other businesses has gone through a few owners and names over recent years. Currently, it’s called Public House Diner in Quechee Gorge Village.

From the outside, this unassuming building just across the river from White River Junction, Vermont does not give away the treasure it holds inside.

Like many small diners of the day, the 4 Aces Diner has expanded from its humble train car like origins.
