We went in looking for a place for my husband to watch a football game and sat at the bar. I wasn't expecting much for the food, but when I asked the server if the French onion soup was good she said yes. I was pleasantly surprised and my husband's wings were cooked just right.

I saw another review for terrible service ?on acct or race? and this may be the case afterall. Wife's shrimp scampi was Good, my burger was Cold when it finally came out. The waitstaff was as ice-cold as the water, and we asked for no ice. Our mixed-race table was studiously ignored after the waters came out. I had to ask TWO times the status of our order at the BAR. I was ignored utterly the first time, and also the second time. Other tabes got menus or food during the veritable minutes that ticked by after my queires. It was only after we were literally out the door that the gal with wavy hair -a bit flustered- told us there was a delay in the kitchen, yada yady, don't totally beleive it, and the order was really just about done. The gal with wavy hair seems to not be racist, for what it's worth. We also were asked if we needed silverware when the food finally came.... are we going to slurp scami noodles off our plates?? I dont like leaving 2 start reviews. I feel I need to here.

We were in Vermont for a week while my husband was working there. We went to Kelli’s every single day and ordered something different each time. We absolutely loved the food and the staff! Tonya and Kelli were always so kind and fun! One of the cooks was outgoing and we had some laughs with her too! She made sure that I had cream with my coffee, which was imperative! 😆 Thank you for a great week and if we come back, we will be sure to make it a priority to stop in!

Olivia Estes is the best waitress and bartender. The food is amazing, the atmosphere is great, and I come here weekly. This is an amazing place, try it.

If you are going mostly to drink, it is probably a pretty good place. The food was pretty mediocre. Only 3 women working a busy bar/restaurant so the service was pretty bad. Not their fault. The owner needed to beef up their staff.

Good food, poor service. Just left here on a busy Friday night. Took 10 minutes to get seated & that should have been indicative of a service problem. The restaurant was busy but we were the only people waiting to be seated, & a server (who I’m pretty certain saw us - it’s a fairly open room) chose to clean up a table rather than seating us (there were at least 2 other tables open & ready, including the one another server chose to seat us at).
We ordered burgers with side salads. 30 min after ordering our waitress came out to apologize for orders not being printed up in the kitchen. We thought it was odd that they would not have just brought us our salads in the meantime, but figured it all goes on the same plate so salads had to wait for burgers. We told her at that point we did have somewhere else we had planned on going (trying to get to a campground in the White Mts. before dark). 15 minutes later, our waitress checked on us & apologized again, & offered us a free drink - BUT WE WEREN’T DRINKING ANYTHING. Why would we want a drink now? So not helpful. What she should have done at that point was recognize we were no longer going to order anything else there & offered to give us money off our dinner. Maybe 10 minutes after she brought us our salads in small bowls separate from our burgers. Why was this not done earlier, just to keep things moving? Burgers came right out. Quality of food was good - salads were fresh & burgers were good. We understand busy & rarely to never write poor reviews. We also never tip less than 20%. But we won’t return.

We stopped for a quick lunch on our way home from Maine. I had buffalo mac and cheese. The sauce was homemade and it was finished under the broiler with some blue cheese and some mozzarella. It was very good. My bride had the Turkey Club. She stated that the turkey was very good and not overly salty. Hers also came with fries, which she thought were also very good. They have over two dozen beers/ciders on tap. The prices were reasonable. Neither one of us were able to finish our meals. We certainly will stop by again when in the area.

Grabbed a Post-Hike burger after a 3 night backpacking trip. Did not disappoint. Food was great. Beer was good. Staff were friendly. Hard to fathom a better reward after 30 miles on the trail
Also! Easy walk to a cute little downtown!
