“Let me ahare my experience …..the other day I went to Applebees only to find out they do not offer any gluten free foods that I consider truely gluten free so I left and told them I guess I’ll go to THE WAYSIDE., Which I did and had a excellent gluten free meal and they even offered a gluten free pecan pie which was delicious. Thank you Wayside glad that you are so accommodating.”

“Simply the best! Food, atmosphere, staff, bar, and prices. Worth the 1 hour drive to get there.”

“It’s a wonderful spot to enjoy coffee with a mug!”

“As the daughter and granddaughter of Vietnamese immigrants, it’s always been difficult to find good pho in rural Vermont, so you can imagine both my excitement and my trepidation to try Pho Capital when I was in Montpelier for work a couple weeks ago. Well, the food was un-pho-gettable! That beef noodle soup brought me right back to my grandma’s kitchen, and they even had crunchy chili oil to add in! All that was missing were some cha gio with fish sauce.”

“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💜”

“LOVE THIS PLACE!!! Always great service and delicious food!”

“I'm one happy, happy lady!!

All the best,

“Friendly staff, great beer selection and prices.”

“Don’t sleep on Indian-Nepali Kitchen— best Indian food in Vermont! The dishes are packed with so much flavor, the portions are generous, and the owners are super friendly! We jump at the opportunity to stop in and try something new every time we are in Montpelier. On one of our visits, my partner wanted a beer, and the owner let him try an imported Indian ale from his own stock. So good! Grab take out, or even better drop in and get the full experience!!”

“great food and great customer service ❤️”

“This is a beautiful spot by the winooski river, we ate on the outside porch with a view of the river, even saw a mother Robin feeding its young in a nest in the rafters. I had linguine pescatore which was delicious, my partner had scampi e cape sante also delicious but unfortunately both meals were light on the scallops hers had 1, also I have to wonder why some sort of bread wouldn’t be served with these dishes. I did mention to staff after and they offered to compensate which I turned down but was made sure I would be treated next time we’re in the area The staff here are great and service was quick, definitely a place to go”

“Absolutely wonderful service and amazing food. I ordered online for delivery and there was an accidental switch to my order and I got the wrong one, they didn’t hesitate to make it right and they even brought it to me at no extra charge. The food tasted incredible. Wonderful customer service and I’ll be back!”

“I love Vermont. Truly, its beauty is incredible, the brewpub’s fantastic and the restaurants fabulous Is it wrong that Bohemian Bakery is my favorite thing that I “found” since moving here? Annies pastries are AMAZING! I never had a Kouign Amman before here. O M G I’m an addict now.”

“Delicious breakfast, good coffee and great service!”

“What a gem of a spot! Easily the tastiest pizza in town! A higher price point than other places in town and worth every extra cent. The person who greeted and helped us was so welcoming and helpful. They also made a very tasty drink! we got our food to go, but ended up hanging out to play the Godzilla pinball machine in back. Woodbelly was incredibly inviting and has such great atmosphere, friendly hardworking staff, and absolutely amazing pizza!”

“Best coffee shop in Vermont. The staff is amazing and so helpful. We happily patronize Capitol Grounds weekly because of the quality coffee, chai tea lattes, and breakfast sandwiches.”

“Delicious food, made with fresh ingredients. The fact my cousin is the owner doesn't change my review.”

“The food tastes great and is a little expensive but you definitely get what you pay for. 10/10 for me”

“Had the best Philly wrap today. Portion was big, veggies were fresh and the staff was very friendly. Definitely recommend!”

“My husband and I ate there last night for our 20th anniversary. He can be very discerning when it comes to his steak and restaurants in general- but we both loved our dinner! Our server Bri was wonderful and we had a great experience- we’ll definitely be back!!”

“This review is written by my daughter for the Good Citizens Challenge Vermont 2024.
Manghi's Bread, first of all has great food.
The highlight for me coming to manghis is their rolls,
these are delicous treats that they sell to kids for five cents!
The service is great when you go into their little shop, some one is ready to help you.
Over all I would give Manghis Bread five stars.

“First visit since they opened again after the flood. I have travelled the country as a connoisseur of steak, and the 55 day dry aged ribeye was absolutely amazing! In the top 3 steaks I have had in my life, and better than the $250 wagyu ribeye at Emeril’s steakhouse in Vegas. Thick, perfectly cooked medium rare, a simple yet robust flavor profile of butter, salt, and aged beef. The tuna tartare appetizer was phenomenal. The Chicken and waffles with spicy bacon was out of this world. It’s good to know that J Morgan’s is worth every substantial penny”

“Intriguing art abounds in every corner of this bar and the plethora of disco balls encourages one to get their groove on. It’s a terrific venue for bands looking to reach an appreciative crowd of live music lovers. Service was friendly and excellent, willing to mix you a grandpa’s whisky sour with Squirt. Not your typical bar fare here with coq au vin over noodles and gumbo that was a standout.”

“I had lunch with a friend yesterday and was very impressed. The Buddah bowl was delicious! I also tried Dandelion tea for the first time. It tasted surprisingly like coffee in a very good way. They have an great variety of other teas if you want to try something new. The atmosphere is relaxing and quiet. We sat in a cozy room in the back overlooking the Winooski river. I will definitely be returning!”

“Heard about their peanut butter pie from a different page I'm on, and decided to try it. if you know me you know I'm picky about my pie, gotta say it's definitely one of the best pies I've ever had. 10/10 would recommend, it's the only place I'm getting my pie from now on.”
