    If you're lucky enough to be in the area during maple syrup season (~mid-February through late March) on a weekend, detour through the woods and grab pancakes with fresh syrup at The Red Bucket.

    The syrup is the star of the show so it doesn't really matter what you order, but I will say that their specials tend to be delicious (ex: carrot cake pancakes with a maple cream cheese spread), as is the Almond French Toast.

    *PRO TIP* - you will likely wait a long time for a table if you arrive later in the morning (the waiting area is right next to the boiler so that's kind of cool anyway) so your best bet is to get there slightly before they formally open for service at 8AM.

    Great place for an old fashioned breakfast served with unlimited Pure maple syrup.
    French toast was excellent, sausage was good.... the only issue I had was with the bacon.
     The bacon was almost non existent, it was so thin it blew off my plate when I moved my napkin.  Nothing fancy here,  but that's what makes it rustic.

    The Red Bucket has been my go to sugar house for many years, and I even had the good fortune to live within walking distance for a few seasons (thankfully when my metabolism was faster!). Now, it's almost an hour trek for us from the opposite end of the Pioneer Valley, but we go at least twice every spring. The special pancakes change often, and are always to die for, s'mores and rainforest are some faves. The almond French toast is also amazing. Go later in the afternoon, and you rarely have to wait. Otherwise, it can be upwards of an hour in line. But totally worth it!

    Opening day at the Red Bucket was so nice as always.. very friendly greeting from the owner and her staff... we were the first ones there.. The special today was pumpkin pancakes... they were made to perfection. The homefries were a bit the soft side but were yummy. The woodstove was warm and toasty and the ambiance was rustic.. We enjoyed our breakfast in the woods and stopped by the store to purchase some maple sugar candy and powdered maple sugar topping on our way out after a friendly chat with the lady running the register.

    We have gone to the Red Bucket Sugar Shack for years and are probably not returning. We arrived within 30min of them opening but waited 1 hr to be seated. After we ordered, it took 1hr to get our pancakes. The same situation occurred last year but we went again to give them another chance in case it was an off day. Their maple syrup is good (which is why I gave them 2 stars) but it is not worth the wait for breakfast.
