Gateway Visitor Center — Attraction in Georgetown

Stopped at the visitors center and asked about restaurants. I told the lady behind the desk we wanted cafe food but not sandwiches. She recommended a place and I asked again if they had hamburgers or American hearty cafe food and she assured me they did. We walked the two blocks, sat down and saw they only served sandwiches, soups and salad. We went to leave and the waitress acted like she was appalled that we would not order. Went to a second restaurant and was ignored and after 5 minutes of watching 3 employees ignored us we left. Every encounter today from a local or business owner was negative. We’ve been coming to Georgetown for many years buying Christmas, eating and shopping. Each time we have encountered rude business owners. Today was our last visit.

The parking lot was packed with people when we stopped on a Friday afternoon.

It's run by a bunch of retired folks. They are very knowledgeable, wise, helpful, patient, but tend to be on the slower side, so don't be in a hurry.

Stop and check this place out. It's a great photo...
