We ate at Grendel's Den with another couple last night. Everything was wonderful. Good food, good drinks, great service in a happy friendly atmosphere. We all loved everything but the predominate memory is the genuine hospitality.
Last days of summer, sat outside, We’ve tried their draft beer Long Trail (Vermont IPA) was a good one, along with chips&salsa and potato skins, they were all good. Our server Blake B. was so positive and nice.
Pretty chill place. Went on a Saturday during labor day weekend and it was pretty dead inside.
Bartender was attentive, nice, and sweet. Ordered a beer and a cheese burger.
Would go back again.
