“We were the 1st couple to arrive last night with no reservations and were quickly seated. Both my husband and my dinners were excellent.

“Such a cute place with great coffee and perfect place to work”

“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.”

The people are so amazing and kind, they help me despite my health/dietary restrictions, this is a breakfast I get excited for.

“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.

Love Pho Hong!!”

“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.”

“We ordered the BLT and the grilled cheese..... the BLT was full of Bacon and absolutely fabulous!!!”

“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!”

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.”

“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!”

“Wonderful pastries and breads and yummy sweet treats from a French baker who has relocated to Burlington. Highly recommended! We especially like her challah, her coronation chicken pot pies, and her lemon coconut tarts.”

We had a fresh salad and tasty garlic bites in their awesome restaurant, then took home 2 great pizzas for dinner later that evening.

“They have a lot of different types of sauces for their wings. Also many other types of food to order. It’s a very American experience:)) both food and the environment”

“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.

“Delicious coffee, their specials are always changing. Friendly staff, great atmosphere. I would highly recommend it!”

“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.”

“Excelente opcion para un buen desayuno y almuerzo, porciones grandes y a un buen precio!”

“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.

“Soothing and upbeat jazzy vibes is a quick, relaxing getaway in this hip spot in Burlington!”

“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”

“great local brew… always hits the spot”

“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!”

“Delicious bagels and great sandwiches. It’s always super clean and the employees are really nice and helpful.”

“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.”

“This place is a hidden gem! It's so good and it encourages local arts. The food is delicious and really tasty. I would recommand this place to everybody.”

“Sushi is amazing. You need Sushi Maeda in your life.”

“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.”

“Amazing service! Great food! Highly recommend!”

“Excelente opcion para un buen desayuno y almuerzo, porciones grandes y a un buen precio!”

“The dining experience was average overall. $30 lobster roll had as much lettuce as it had lobster and lacked flavor. Lobster bisque was very good. Great views. Open tables all around but the four tables of guests were crammed into one corner of the building.”

“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.

“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.”

“It was my first time dining here with my Dad! Great staff and food!”

“Growing up in NY, I’ve missed “real” pizza for the 50 yrs I’ve been in BTV. You guys have filled the gap and surpassed anything in this area. Amazing pizza. Thanks so much.”
