“Disappointed. The food was mediocre and a little pricey. Husband and son had the steak burger which was small and not very well seasoned. Wait staff was very nice. Ambiance is pleasant.”
“Had a great time grabbing a flatbread and heading down to the lakeshore to eat it while people watching. Really delicious and slightly pricey but also, what isn’t these days? Would definitely go back and try other flavor combinations.”
“One of the best pies I’ve ever had with unmatchable service. As soon and you walk in you’re greeted by Emily who will take the best care of you. 10/10. Don’t be a fool. Tell Emily we said hi!”
“We were the 1st couple to arrive last night with no reservations and were quickly seated. Both my husband and my dinners were excellent. I ordered the pork ribs and clams and my husband had the pork schnitzel. We really enjoyed it all as well as our cocktails. It was too dark in there for me, but I got through it!”
“Fantastic restaurant on Church Street in "downtown" Burlington. Great place to go with a group of friends for Mediterranean Mezze (small plates.. like tapas). Everything was high quality and perfect to share with around 3-4 people and while trying a larger variety of 5-6 different dishes... Or until you get full, but don't forget to leave room for dessert which were all delightful as well! The grilled halloumi cheese, Lamb Pide (Mediterranean flatbread with lamb sausage), brussel sprouts, shrimp tabil, lamb bun and Spanakopita were all great options to share.”

“Amazing food and even better service.”
“Amazing dining experience. Make sure you come with someone who loves to share food because you’ll want to taste it all! Went for my birthday and staff was so kind and service was great. Can’t wait to go back!”
“Good bar for families with kids or young adults wanting to chill and play a board game. Good beer. Food comes out quickly but can be hit or miss. I have really enjoyed some fries there but have had a very dry chicken sandwich and pasta that was just okay. Nice atmosphere, lots of plants, not too loud.”

“Absolutely a must. If you are looking for a sweet little spot for fantastic comfort food, this is it. The people are so amazing and kind, they help me despite my health/dietary restrictions, this is a breakfast I get excited for. The food is so good, fresh, and the french toast is out-of-this-world fluffy. Looking for a meal made with love, look no further.”
“This is the place if you want the very best Pho Vermont has to offer. I've been coming here for almost 15 years and I've never had a bad meal. The food is always fresh and amazing. The staff is excellent and they offer wonderful customer service. Most of the employees have been working there for years (clearly a good sign) and they know how to take care of their customers. Love Pho Hong!!”
“We had a wonderful meal with our UVM student granddaughter. Terrific service, delicious food. Our granddaughter said she’d come with her friends for drinks too. I guess it’s hip also!”
“We had a delightful meal tonight at Bourbon Street restaurant in Burlington, Vermont. Chef Richard is the host, chef and owner. He was a pleasure to meet, the food was delicious and the desserts were fantastic. This is a cozy little Mecca in Burlington. We felt like we were welcomed into Richard’s home. We are happy that we were able to get reservations. The food has various little twists that provided gastronomical delights.”
“Had an amazing afternoon at the tasting room! Both bartenders were incredibly knowledgeable and personable, guiding me through the tasting and helping me choose a few drinks. I ended up leaving with a great selection of Mad River products. If you're a bourbon or rum enthusiast visiting the Burlington area, this spot is a must-visit!”

“Amazing restaurant. Showed up for reservation but made it for next night. Hostesses gave us option of table on time limit or bar. We choose the bar. Waiter was very attentive and accommodating as my wife is vegetarian, so provided several options for her not on menu. Cheese board was delicious with Vermont cheese, rissoto was great too. I had the shrimp pasta, very taste. And gelato and tiramisu topped off a great dinner. Highly recommend. Don’t be put off by entrance to restaurant.
Vegetarian options: They have vegetarian options on menu. But kitchen very accommodating to make other dishes vegetarian too.”
“This is a great restaurant. I’m disappointed this is my first time here because I have been missing out. Food is delicious. Get the cauliflower 65 appetizer it will be worth it. The mango lassi is delicious and comes in an amazing size portion. Thank you for a great meal, I will be back.”
“I love this local restaurant! Great burgers and chicken sandwiches. Fries are crispy and tasty. Drinks are always well made by the super friendly bartender. And they also do a great weekend brunch.”
“Great spot, great beers and friendly service. A nice place to enjoy a drink by the lake front in Burlington. We’ll be back next time for sure!”

“I went there with my gf as a camping trip and a birthday trip. Kerry's awesome, her staff is awesome and the place was filled with games. Food was good too and staff was available for questions and was really kind. I couldn't recommend enough this place if you ever visit Burlington, VT.”
“The food is best described as "OK" (though I guess that makes it authentic British food, eh?) - one of the sandwiches of all time!
Where these guys shine is the service. They're always friendly, accommodating, and fast. Extensive menu options, as well. Good if you need a quick sandwich and don't want anything fancy, or to spend an arm and a leg on a sub that's tiny and overpriced, this is a great option!”
“This place is where great breakfast goes when it dies.
Wow. Bread, yogurt, meat, coffee, bread, and the bread... all top notch. Did I mention the bread?
Line was literally spilling into the street for over an hour on Sunday. Service was FAST, friendly, and was absolutely cruising. The locals know it, and now so do you.
Perfect place if you like a breakfast sandwich or avocado toast start to your day. The grilled biscuits were BANGIN.”
“We had bluebird cater our wedding this past Saturday and it was perfect and delicious l!”
“The food in this restaurant is amazing. It is also amazing to sit a the chef’s bar and watch them cook up close while you eat. Awesome restaurant, will definitely be coming back”

“For my birthday today, I wanted the scallion pancakes from Green Mountain Potstickers and pre-ordered those plus some potstickers. When I went to pick up my order, Carey had surprised me with amazing flowers from June Farm...what??? Not only was the food excellent, that was so sweet, unexpected and way beyond what one would do for a stranger...it is definitely much appreciated! Thank you Carey and as you can see from the photo, the pancakes and half of the dumplings were consumed before I can take a photo. 😜 You made my morning and our tummies were very grateful!”
“Fresh, tasty, and authentic! Thanks Carlo and the crew for a great lunch and dinner. We had a fresh salad and tasty garlic bites in their awesome restaurant, then took home 2 great pizzas for dinner later that evening. All our ingredients were fresh, and well seasoned, ricotta to die for! We got a mickster and a prosciutto pie and, can’t wait to go back and try more!”
“Simply DELICIOUS!!! I’m from Montreal, so there is no Chipotle here. Every opportunity I get (whenever i’m in the US and there is a Chipotle close by), i stop by and order a bowl.
This time (as every time), i ordered a chicken bowl with guacamole. It was so so so good!!
I recommend this place. Employees were very nice as well!”

Cheap Eats
“The cafeteria-style buffet is really good. The food is wholesome and seems pretty healthy; it wasn’t oily and focused on Whole Foods. They have a lot of diversity of options, most of which are vegan, including several types of protein. I ate seitan, tofu (two ways), and two types of beans in one meal! I left full for a reasonable price. Buffets can add up but with so many high-protein options it’s easy to not take too much food and still be sated.”
“I ordered two shrimp tacos for $12 amazing a mushroom soup that was outstanding and I bought two more to go. It was amazing the soup was. The mixed drinks were reasonable price a person named Thomas was amazing bartender he was fabulous. I would recommend to go here to eat. It’s very good feeling good atmosphere food.”
“The Pinery was the perfect addition to our wedding. The trailer was ideal for our venue due to limited space inside for a bar. The staff was flexible and friendly leading up to our wedding and the day of.The Pinery worked with us to create a bar menu that was a hit with our guests. We were able to create a menu with his and her cocktails and other cocktails to appease all guests. The team was also very helpful at recommending beers, wines, and nonalcoholic beverages. The prebatched cocktails (margarita, bees knees, whiskey sour) were all such a hit with our guests that we still receive compliments months after the wedding. The team even went as far as setting aside some of the his and her cocktails to ensure we had some before they were all gone and holding onto an egg white to make me a proper whiskey sour before the end of the night.We look forward to working with The Pinery again in the future and cannot recommend them enough for a wedding bar service.Carsen & Taylor”
“Just found this place while walking up and down Church St. So happy I did. Walk in and order at the counter. The employee was super nice and friendly. They have lots of sandwich options or you can build your own. The sandwich was massive! $13 with a bag of chips and it was well worth the price. I had turkey with fixings and the meat was half the sandwich. They do not skimp! It was exactly what I was looking for. I only had half because it was so big, so easily shareable if you like that. The leftovers were just as good!”
“You know a place is great when you go there again the next morning.
Hip little breakfast spot that services classics, Mexican-style breakfasts like Tacos, and killer smoothies. If you're looking for the best sit-down breakfast in Burlington, this is a contender.
The place has a tiki-style vibe, super friendly service, and even has a bar if you want to grab a Bloody Mary or something similar.
Ample parking on site, down the road from plenty of stores so it makes a good jump-off point if you have a car and you're visiting.”
“Was so excited when I heard Fancy’s was getting a restaurant space and it goes above and beyond with vegan food. Each dish was so unique and perfectly flavored and cooked, wonderfully fresh flavors and local produce!”
“Another great meal. Try the secret menu item, Maria Burger! You can’t go wrong !”
“We enjoyed our lunch a lot. The doner wrap was very flavorful. We liked the baba ganoush and bread.”
“I didn't eat here but my friends said it's great. I did have a great drink there.
The atmosphere is incredible! Kinda dark low music. It was awesome.”
“Some great cider options including several non-alcoholic options and everything between very dry and sweet. Over a dozen cider styles. Our favorites were the Juicy Hazy and the Unified. The fried cheese curds were exceptional and made from local Vermont cheese.”
“We were looking for a quick bite before a show at the Flynn center and stopped into Red Panda on a whim. I'm so glad we did- We sat at the bar and had a glass of wine and a beer, we split two appetizers and biryani, everything was delicious, and quick. Family owned, the nice young man who served us said his aunt and uncle were the owners. Highly recommend.”

“We have been coming here since 1986 when it was a tiny spot that let us teenagers sit and drink coffee all day. They are one of Burlington’s oldest and most loved restaurants, known for their early bird Bistro dinner that serves French classics like Beef Bourgignon, Steak Frites and even gluten free Cavatappi Carbonara. Tonight it was snowing hard and the restaurant was still full and the service was terrific. It’s our go-to place for the last 35 years and I’m grateful they are still around.”

“Seated right away per our reservation at a lovely table ordered drinks and very quickly (too quickly) our meals arrived . They were absolutely delicious! But I was still sipping on my cocktail. We saved room for dessert and each ordered one. It took over 20 minutes for them to arrive. Ridiculous! Again, they were amazing but Ed waited way too long as we did for the check. They did comp the dessert at my request but it still but a damper on the evening.”
