Where is a good place to stop for lunch? Thanks in advance. Sun Jun 19 20:44:39 -0700 2005 0 Ken J. 1 1352699 Stoneleigh Creek Restaurant just off I684 in Croton Falls has a great price fixed lunch. $13.95 I believe.

Search CH or the web for more info. Link: http://www.bigwbbq.com Mon Jun 20 02:33:14 -0700 2005 1352697 0 meatme 2 1352718 Get to the truck real early if you want any. He's been selling out quick since the weather got warmer. Mon Jun 20 21:43:32 -0700 2005 1352701 0 hkg 3 1352723 According to his web site, he opens at 4pm. That might rule out lunch, unless the hours have changed.
