11 Best American Restaurants near Barre

“Wonderful food! All of it!“

“Great Find! The grounds are well cared for and all the spaces seem very level. Check in was easy and we were shown right to our spot. Not sure what it is like in Summer, but in mid October, feels like a very adult campground which is exactly what we were looking for. Plenty of trees around, and the bathrooms were clean. We didn't use the showers but assume they were clean too, based on how well cared for everything seems to be.“

“Cornerstone Pub & Kitchen is one of those places that manages to do everything well. Whether you're stopping in for cocktails, dinner, or happy hour, the entire experience feels polished, welcoming, and consistently enjoyable.

One thing I love is the bar seating area. It's a great spot to grab a drink, catch up with friends, or enjoy a meal without committing to a full table. The cocktails are excellent, and their happy hour is definitely worth taking advantage of.

The food is where Cornerstone really shines. The salads are fresh and flavorful, and the crispy Caesar salad is one of my favorites. Sometimes a Caesar salad can be forgettable, but this one absolutely isn't.

The steak was cooked beautifully, and the truffle pasta deserves its own recognition. The truffle flavor is rich without being overpowering, and it's one of those dishes that immediately makes you want another bite before you've even finished the first one.

The atmosphere is warm, the staff is friendly, and the food consistently delivers. Overall, Cornerstone Pub & Kitchen is an easy recommendation and one of the better dining experiences in the area.“

“First time eating here. Food is amazing. Staff very friendly and great service. Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“generally a decent place, but tired of it just being closed constantly with no explanation, especially of recent. hasn't been open ONCE since before and after Thanksgiving. not too many alternatives in the area; Aradas is HIGHLY overpriced and subpar and Aztec is very mediocre for the $$$. please open up again.“

“Every time I've been, the menu has been almost entirely different and I've ordered a wide sampling from the menu. I've test to have a single bite of food that wasn't thoughtful, intentional, perfectly prepared, and delicious. The bar program is also fantastic, as is the service. I cannot recommend this spot highly enough!“

“literally the best restaurant and bar in Montpelier actually is in Middlesex about 3 miles up interstate 89- between the music, the service, and the food are all indescribablly good in light of what you might expect from a local tavern or restaurant – the food is excellent prepared and very thoughtful in it preparation; i’ve been there three or four times, and I continue to walk away, thinking it’s the best Cape secret in Central, Vermont“

“Derrick is the most personable bartender in Montpelier and I’m SO HAPPY that Hugo’s brought back my wedge salad. Love the vibe here. Love the live music. What a gem💜“

“I went to the Wayside Restaurant the other day. Our waitress was very nice and friendly. She did a great job. The food was ready in a short time and was delicious. I was very satisfied and it also is clean and neat. Definitely would recommend the restaurant.“

“Love it and the owners .. i had a great time. Will be back“

“Amelia and Samantha are 2 of the best waitresses there. Definitely love coming in and seeing them even if we don't sit in there sections, they make there way over to say hi! Update: we will now add Tammy to one of our favorites! She does an awesome job and great communication!“
