“Our new favorite! Our son was diagnosed with Celiac this year and we were hesitant to eat out. Jules has been wonderful for our whole family (mom, dad, 5 year old and 18 months old). It is a little quieter atmosphere which made me nervous the first time we went but the staff and other patrons have always been so kind and welcoming to our kiddos and small amount of chaos they bring. The gluten free menu, including kids menu is excellent and the staff is knowledgeable. The desserts are a highlight (we are fans of the gluten free carrot cake). It has been terrific to go out as a family and have equal options for everyone, thank you!Dietary restrictions: Great Gluten Free options, knowledgeable about the restrictions and cross contamination risksKid-friendliness: So kind, last time we wrote letters to Santa and they had a special mailbox, well about a week later Santa had written back. My son was thrilled!“

“very nice!!! food was hot,fresh,affordable and more than enough. coming from someone with a big appetite i left full. the band was excellent!!! dirty looks band, if you haven’t already definetly check them out!!!! come early as this place gets packed . seemed geared more to my generation ( the 40-50 year olds). sadly i’m feeling old these days and struggle a bit with becoming easily overwhelmed with big crowds and loud noises but i wanted to try it at least once. if you love the bar scene this place is a must try. they also have a very large dance floor. i highly suggest giving this place a shot.Parking: looks like if you arrive early enough there’s plenty of parking but highly suggest getting there early. also couldn’t find it on the food drop down list but my son and i each ordered the chicken tender baskets. cost less than thirty all together and was hot,fresh,plenty and excellent!!!“

“One of many great Burlington restaurants. They have a series of unique pizzas cooked in a large fire oven. The sausage pizza was a little disappointing - the sausage was made locally and the spice was too timid and this didn’t really help the overall taste of the pizza. Our other pizza was very good. We got a brownie with a scoop of ice cream which was average. Kinda felt like I could have easily made a box of brownies and added a scoop of ice cream and it would have been just as good.Loved the interior.“

“Server was very attentive and had great suggestions for items to share.(Meatball, kebab, one appetizer platter)Everything was beyond delicious.We all left full and with just enough to bring to our friend!Vegetarian options: there were some vegetarian soup and salad options, anything else was labled“
“Have lived in Burlington for 7 mos now and our first time here was today! Absolutely loved the atmosphere - great jazz music playing, clean and cozy. The staff was incredibly kind and knowledgeable and made killer drinks. All 3 drinks we got were amazing. Can’t wait to go back and try some new ones. They have little snack platters on their menu too! Highly recommend if you’re in the area.“
“Checked out another one of the many breweries in Burlington. It happens to be attached to a pizza place. Queen City is good even for just the beer though. Lively atmosphere without being noisy and way crowded. The bar area isn't that big, but there's enough room for a group. A lot of people who come here know about it because of the pizza place that shares the same building. In fact, you can order a pizza from there at the bar and they'll bring it. They're actually another business, so this will just focus on the beers though. It's about $7 a pint. The beer menu has a variety on tap. Best one we had was the Poludnitsa, a Czech Pilsner. Great taste and it wasn't filling. It's light at 5% ABV. This has a bright spicy hop finish. Lots of ales and lagers to choose. These of course go good with a pizza. Get some beers. It has a ton to choose from. There's also the pizza place if wanting to eat something.“

“4. Great cafe with a big menu for breakfast and lunch and lots of amazing looking baked goods. Friendly staff and big open space. The door kept being left open so it was really cold inside. My partner had the breakfast sandwhich which he said was really good but could have benefitted from bacon (not just bacon jam). I had the chickpea salad which was good but there were a number of wilted lettuce pieces which was kind of annoying.They make their chai in-house and it’s great. They only have one alternative milk (oat) and the only option for regular milk is whole milk.They use vegetable oil on their cooktop so not great if you have an allergy to soy.No vegan options in the baked goods section except for the bread which was yummy!Vegetarian options: Lots of options for vegetarians- not a ton if you’re vegan!“

“The food was great. Highly recommend the Smash Burger or the wings. Loved that they had a range of drinks from great beer to delicious non-alcoholic options.What I am most impressed with is the staff. I could feel the inclusive, people-centric vibe from walking in the door. The entire staff was kind, patient, and so helpful. I’ve never felt so welcomed at a restaurant. Highly recommend Burlington Beer Company for your next outing.“

“This turned out to be a great little place for lunch! I have driven by it many times and mistook it for some kind of an industrial or storage site. I suspect a colorful awning out front would do a lot to make it feel more “restauranty”.There isn’t a huge selection of lunch items and there doesn’t seem to be a way to see which soups are available without talking to someone at the counter, but there’s definitely a lot of ice cream, and the location is certainly convenient for anyone on Commerce st, or the industrial park.“
“4.5!Really great brewery. Beautiful front patio which was full, but they offered us seating in the back which was less vibey but nice and quiet. Big selection of beers-and they’re happy to let you sample before ordering. Also, great menu for accompaniments if you’re hungry! There was also a stage for music, but no one playing when we were there.They were accommodating of allergies and willing to check the labels of their snacks.“

“Very cool coffeeshop right in front of the Co-op has great coffee and standout pastries - best croissant ? in Burlington so far - still have more to try. The building itself is a yuppie dream warehouse situation.Parking: Parking is tricky to get into because the access road right next to the coffeeshop is one way. Enter through the Howard center and there is another entrance in back.“
“Stopped in after a day of skiing this past weekend and thoroughly enjoyed their beer. Especially enjoyed New Day, Tropical Illusion, Tru Pils, Proper Mild, and even Winter Warmer. Great variety and laid back atmosphere. Will be back the next time I'm in the area.“

“I’ve lived in Burlington for over ten years, and this is my favorite coffee shop to stop at. The staff are so kind and the art and drinks are so creative. They make the best maple oat milk latte and their special drinks are unique and very yummy.“
“One of my favorite microbreweries in Vermont. The way I describe this place is like going to Cheers in Boston “where everyone knows your name”! The beers are awesome, the place is comfortable and has a nice ambiance, people are friendly and most importantly they love dogs. Yeah very dog friendly establishment which is cool to see.Denial and Vet are their signature and popular IPAs which are delicious. They have some porters like the WatchDog which is a great beer too. Nice place to stop by to chat, meet other people, play some games and enjoy good beer.“
“Great little brewery to stop by. Plenty of seats and space. Had a pretty good selection of beers on tap. We tried the smoked beer flight. Not really my taste, but they were brewed well. Next time I'm over there, I'll try some of the other beers they have.“

“Ordered the maple latte with oat milk. Loved the espresso they used and the maple wasn't too sweet or too bitter. This is definitely one of the best espresso roasts I've had in a long time. They also added some latte art, I was too excited to try the coffee to take a picture.Dietary restrictions: Only have whole milk or oat milk.“
“Easy five stars. I was doubtful that I'd get my money's worth for a $16 bowl but the firecracker bowl put my fears to rest. It was phenomenal, the portion sizes approached excessive (but don't worry-- I managed to eat it all), and everything was fresh and delicious.“

“In a city (town) full of excellent cafes, Kestrel still manages to stand out. A big part of that is thanks to Rachel, who single handedly provides the baked goods. Or should I say baked GREATS! Folks, you cannot beat an expertly crafted caffeinated beverage paired with an out of this world scone/cookie/muffin. I recommend the denizen with a breakfast sammie (that homemade biscuit, though!)“
“My wife and I visit Brio every time we visit Vermont which is as often as possible. This past October we visited before spending a day in Burlington. My wife who is not a big coffee drinker had a Calypso espresso while I a big coffee drinker went with the single origin Ethiopia Shantawene. Fast forward 4 months and I am still dreaming about that single origin espresso. I roast my own coffee at home and drink a ton of espresso and I still have not been able to recreate anything like that experience. Brio is one of the best in the business and I 100% recommend stopping while you are in the Burlington area. I hope some day to be able to pull a shot of my own coffee that can re create that experience over again. Thanks for everything you do!“

“Best Cider around!Update for my second visit!Best Cider, best Cider cocktails now anywhere near here last few trips to Burlington! Stopped in for some drinks and a snack.. Pretzel bites are great and definitely try a flight or two! The Dock Side Muke is amazing! Perfect plate to hang out and have a few amazing ciders. Make sure you have room in your car to bring a few cans back with you with some truly unique blends of Cider! Will be back again on our next travels through Burlington!“

“By walking by I thought this was only a walkup Creemee location because the line was always long. This store has so much more to offer once you step inside! I would recommend anything on the menu with local maple syrup. The staff were friendly thoughtful and helpful. A bonus of great sunset seating here as well!♡“
“It's pumpkin spice season and I was lucky enough to find Kestrel Coffee for a quick pumpkin spice latte and lemon poppy seed muffin. The coffee wasn't too sweet and had an authentic (not artificial) pumpkin flavor. The muffin was delicious and very lemony. It's a smaller coffee shop, but has a nice atmosphere with a super friendly staff!“

“I didn't actually have food here, but I called them, and they were so nice and sweet, and even when I ask them questions that weren't specifically related to their restaurant or their food, they didn't hang up and they didn't question me. And then after I was finished, they asked me if I had anything else to say. I would rate this a 10 out of 10 experience. I've never called an establishment with nicer staff before.“
“Want the best experience in Burlington? If you are traveling, or a local, this beautiful concept offers the top cocktails, and pizza in the city. Pete made the experience phenomenal. Good drinks, service, and conversation. I literally fell in love with the energy of Wallflower. I (as a critic) recommend this as a 10/10!“
“The new Arts Riot is vastly improved! Stop in for a fun, unique cocktail, an app (we had delicious fried Artichoke with "fancy yogurt") and pizza. We had a slice of local mushroom pizza and a more traditional pepperoni. Taste buds are dancing! I even ate all my crusts (very unusual for me). So glad we stopped in to check out the new situation. A+. We'll be back.“
“Was so lucky to see a post about Sweet Alchemy on a Vegan FB page and then remembered it was near where we were wandering on Saturday. The whole menu was vegan. Got the Rainbow Bowl and the breakfast bowl. They were both amazing. Great flavor, so filling. Then we got the carrot cake cupcakes for dessert. OMG!!“

“My maple latte and rooibos latte were absolutely delicious and very well made. There is very little seating and honestly its kind of cold inside, and the barista was loudly watching TV before and after making the drinks which I didn’t love. Overall, really good place to grab a delicious drink and skedaddle.“

“We visited in mid April and called ahead to make sure we could still dine with our dogs after reading they were dog friendly. The hospitality we were met with was exceptional! Deb answered and told us they "would love to have us!" That response made us feel welcome right away before even setting foot in the place. They served us on the patio and brought water out for us and our dogs as well. A lot of other restaurants listed as dog friendly in the area would not serve us stating their patios were not open yet. But the Vermont Pub and Brewery went above and beyond! The burgers and beers we had were delicious! Even though we were the only patrons dining outside the staff checked on us frequently everyone was so friendly! They have a decent selection for gluten free options including beer if that's something you need. I would definitely recommend this spot to anyone visiting.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options available“

“Visiting from NH and wanted to check out some different breweries and this one was on my must try list. Black Flannel exceeded my expectations with an excellent selection of beer, great atmosphere and fantastic service. It was also a bonus to have the opportunity to learn more about the business. The logo is fun and I have added yet another brewery sweatshirt to my collection! We will definitely be back next trip to VT and look forward to trying more of the beers and the food!“
“This place felt like more of a restaurant than a brewery to me. We sat at the bar and the place was packed. The Sara sour was my favorite beer there. The food looked good, but we didn’t eat because we couldn’t find anywhere to park at dinner time, so we went somewhere else to eat and then came back late in the evening. Definitely grabbed some beer to go. I’m glad we stopped.“

“My favorite tacos and burritos in the area. The al pastor tacos are truly something to behold but you can't go wrong with any of the options. The tinga burrito (gordo supreme add guac) is also delicious. Highly recommend, always lives up to the hype.“

“Came here twice over Indigenous Peoples Day weekend and loved it. Coffee was top notch. Great donuts. They’re practically giving away the breakfast sandwiches, which were awesome. The guy working the counter was really nice and gave good service too. Will definitely go back next time I’m in town.“
“Wonderful little market and shop right in downtown Winooski. We miss their restaurant from years ago but now they are a cute little market with amazing prepared foods to go and cook at home (their Shepard's Pie is wonderful, and their Tourtiere and Crab Dip are to amazing!), really unique items like their Smoked Char Rillette, and Pate’s, yummy breads, grab & go food items, salads, sandwiches, etc. We had the chance to talk to Logan and he shared their evolution over the years from restaurant to market, and that many of the items in their market are sourced locally from the region. A regular stop for us when we're in the area!“

“My wife and stopped in for a beer. We are from Oklahoma. They have locally made drafts. My wife had the Mexican Lager and I had the American. Both very good.We tried the chili and the clam chowder. Never thought to put sour cream on chili. It was surprisingly delicious. The clam chowder was tasty. For me, I would of cut the potatoes a little smaller. That goes back to my Momma saying, "You know if I love you or am mad at you by the size of your vegetables." The service was very good. We would definitely stop in again. Probably later today after the museum.“

“Oh my gosh those scones!!! The whole experience at Kru was great, the staff was friendly, the matcha was creamy, and the food options were plentiful! I opted for a spinach and feta scone and a cheddar scone, both were so so good! The staff assumes you’re dining in instead of taking coffee to go which to me really demonstrates the experience and atmosphere they are trying to create. I loved it!“
“Burlington has a lot of cool carts that for the most part, serve real good food. But nothing satisfies all your late night craving like two juicy burgers grilled to perfection with cheese and bacon slapped on top. Seriously, you need to become a regular there to truly enjoy it.“

“Only 4/5 as my first experience was a let down ordering out during those wretched COVID years and feeling the food lacked in flavor and quantity. I live in the area and wrote them off for a while.Boy was I wrong! Everyone has off days. These folks are friendly as can be, their beer club collaborations are not only fun and unique but GOOD! The staff is super friendly and always working together to a new cocktail.Last but not least, every time I order food, it seems to get better. Stone Corral is finding their groove...looking forward to being along for the ride as a fan and customer!“

“We had our first meal here as an engaged couple! Our server did a phenomenal job and made our special evening even more special with how kind she was. In fact everyone in the restaurant was so incredibly kind and helped us celebrate our engagement, which made the entire experience at Shanty on the Shore shine like the diamonds on my fiancée's ring. We had the lobster (lazy man style) with the mac and cheese, clam chowder, and Wild Maine and PEI oysters which were all amazing. The view of Lake Champlain was breathtaking, the food was spectacular, and being able to enjoy the whole experience with my fiancée made this the best experience ever. They also gave us a piece of the key lime pie on the house as a congratulations on our engagement. Honestly, if you are in Burlington and you don't have a meal here, you have done yourself a great disservice. This place is 10/10.“

“Stopped here for the first time yesterday while in the area for a business trip.I don't think I'll ever again be satisfied eating at Chinese restaurants where I'm from after having the amazing food I got yesterday.It was so fresh, I waited about 10 minutes to eat my food and it was still hot. The teriyaki chicken was nothing like I've experienced at my local restaurants. It was so juicy and there was SAUCE?!? I wanna know where the sauce is over my way because they're always served dry where I'm from... looking like chicken jerky lolThe young lady who took my order was so sweet and kind.Whenever I wind up over that way again, this will be my #1 spot to go for lunch or dinner.All in all it was a pleasant experience for my first time in the area, and I will be going back the next time I'm in VT.Thank you so much for the delicious food ❤️“

“Great little local spot for breakfast or lunch. The wait can get a bit long during peak and they don’t take reservations so be prepared for that and allow extra time if that’s when you’re planning to visit. Service is prompt and friendly, the food is tasty (home fries were honestly perfection in my opinion) and the vibe is relaxed and welcoming. Covered outdoor seating is available until it’s too frigid and the big glazed ‘garage doors’ are opened up on nice summer days as well for an al fresco feel. Burlington could use more places like this (RIP Penny Cluse)!“

“Not sure why this place doesn't have better reviews. I've been coming here for almost 3 years as it's always a reliable spot to scratch that sushi and miso soup itch. Great local spot with reasonable prices and good food. The folks working have always been kind and respectful.“

“Eatery by day, bar/club at night. Food menu is small but good. The Irish Curry dish is very tasty and light on the stomach. The mac & cheese brisket is very creamy and buttery. Night life is typical music, dancing, college students. You can also go through an interior entrance to their Burlington Whiskey Room which I also recommend. Huge selection of drinks and quieter atmosphere.“

“Firebird Cafe is awesome. I’ve been here a handful of times and it’s always delicious and the vibe is great. We were there yesterday morning before the solar Eclipse. The town was crazy with so many people traveling through and the restaurant was very busy. It was clear that everyone was hustling and working hard to get customers their orders. The staff still took the time to be kind and chit chat with us for a moment despite how busy they were.Unfortunately, they had to deal with a severly verbally abusive customer from NY that was screaming at the entire staff that his order was put on the wrong table for a brief moment. It was quite frightening, and the staff handled it with patience. It was clear that the young child he was with was extremely distraught and upset, and other people waiting in line were concerned for her welfare as well. Had we been thinking faster, we would have called the police. It was clear they were doing their best to serve the massive line of tourists that flooded the town this past weekend. I would definitely recommend them as they are professional, friendly, and always have great food!“
“Super nice spot to come with friends or family--it has a very chill vibe with lots of vintage video and pinball games (very nostalgic for my parents). When my family went there were even some live performances. The space is big, with both indoor and outdoor seating and, for the outside, there are lit fire pits (which we took full advantage of whilst waiting for our food). Rather than ordering from a server, we were able to place the food orders online and have them brought to the table. The food menu is limited, but is classic American fare--everyone was able to find something they enjoyed. The drink menu is definitely where they shine more. Personally, I was a fan of the hard cider.“

“Have been here a few times usually for pizza, but have tried some pasta dishes and appetizers too. Pizza is really good, thinner crust, good sauce ratio. The buffalo chicken pizza is delicious, I never order buffalo chicken pizza and here we get it every time. The service has always been great. Last two times we went we've had the same server who is awesome, and even brought out some pizza dough for my 4yo to play with which it's always helpful to keep kids occupied until food comes. Highly recommend this place, we are from out of town but visit family locally and it's always my son's first pick to come here (and the adults are happy with always coming).Kid-friendliness: High chairs and boosters available. Staff great with kids.“
