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

“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💜”

“Penzo makes the perfect pizza. The dough is baked just right and there are enough tasty menu options that we can have a different meal each time we go. They are super friendly and just want to make the world a better place through good food. I'd also add that their prices are below the curve. We miss you in Montpelier!!!”

“I brought a bunch of students to this fine establishment on Monday evening and we were served by Theresa, who can banter with the best! She took excellent care of us. The apple pie with cheddar and the maple cream pie were legendary! All of the food was excellent, but the chicken parm was exceptional. Thank you, Wayside, for an uplifting evening and being stalwart in central Vermont!”

“great food and great customer service ❤️”

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

“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!”

“Friendly staff, great beer selection and prices.”

“The Thai food is particularly good. I was not a fan of the calamari, but there are many many other things on the menu that they specialize in that are worth getting. This is a great spot for dine in, or take out. Highly recommended if you like Thai!”

“Listen, I know it's a pho spot, and you won't be disappointed if you get Pho, but you need to order the Kim Special. It's the spicy beef and pork noodle soup with the addition of seafood. This thing during winter clears all sinuses, fills all tummies, and packs an ungodly amount of flavor.

The staff is also incredible here - during my visit, it was a team of two (Kim & Hien) serving more than 20 seats and doing so with a smile on their face.

Reservations recommended for groups of 5 or more though I saw them accommodate this on the spot.”

“First visit this weekend. Food, drinks and service are terrific. Will be back for sure.”

“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”

“Thank you for bringing your incredibly delicious pies, etc. to the Lebanon & Hanover NH COOP Food Stores. All of my Christmas dinner guests (me, too) raved that your pumpkin pie is the best they had ever eaten. Can’t wait to taste more from Red Door Baking!”

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

“We were compelled to visit while walking by based on the delicious aromas coming from the bakery. It is located inside an old home in Montpelier. So many choices. We had the cheese twist, with cream cheese and a hint of lemon. Amazing!”

“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!!”

“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.”

“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!”

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

“A charming little spot that has a delightful name.

The soup I had reminded me of something a loved one would have made for me when I was sick. It was well-seasoned and had lots of flavor but the ingredients used were more important than what could be added to change them. A refreshing take in a world flooded with truffle oil and sriracha.
They also serve cafe beverages. Nothing is made with a massive, industrial espresso juggernaut. Even the coffee here has a chill vibe.
All of the food has a rustic quality that matches the homemade flavors and the homey decor. It's the kind of hip joint that the Brooklyn scene popularized but places like Outerspice perfected with well-sourced ingredients, customer service, and rural location and clientel. The sign says most of what you could want to know about this restaurant. Bold, simple, and smart.”

“Greatest Chinese food west of Beijing”

“Great staff and atmosphere.”
