50 Best American Restaurants near Colchester

“i took my son to Athens for the first time. The staff was super friendly. The food was delicious. The food came out hot and fairly quick. My son told the waitress he rates it a 5 star. She told the owner. He came out asked if he was Kaleb. He introduced himself and thanked him! We will deffinently be coming back!“

“Bar service was fine, understaffed but who isn't. Can't take coupons at the bar unless there is a manager present, so that's annoying.It's an overpriced restaurant for the quality of food they serve but it's a game center so people will still buy. The sliders are probably the best thing on their menu.“

“I cannot say enough good things about Bevo. I never once had to worry about a thing. Kathleen and her staff thought of everything. From our first meeting, we knew we were in good hands. Kathleen was so helpful and knowledgeable about the whole process and offered tons of ideas for things we hadn't even thought of. We were able to create our own menu (build your own tacos as well as a mac and cheese bar) and Kathleen offered excellent suggestions of things to go with it. You name it, and Bevo can do it. Leading up the the wedding, Kathleen was great about checking in and seeing if we needed help with anything. The day of the wedding was wonderful. The entire Bevo staff was kind, attentive and incredibly professional. The chefs out-did themselves, we are still getting compliments from our guests about the delicious food and the abundance of it. Throughout the evening, the staff would bring my wife and I water, reminding us to stay hydrated. They were all so sweet and everything went so smoothly. At the end of the evening, they provided us with two large bags full of food for us to take home, which was a real life saver the next few days with all our family in town. Between the delicious food, and the wonderful staff, we will be recommending Bevo to everyone we see. They are without a doubt the best catering company!“

“Good local bar and restaurant at the end of main part of road at Mallets bay. Excellent weekend brunch, as well as the regular menu during the rest of the days. The staff is very friendly, and service is quick. The food is well done, seasoned well, and tasty.“

“great food and atmosphere with a lake view.“

“I ordered the hot honey chicken sandwich (~$14.50) and it came with fries on the side. The staff stayed busy but were quick to refill my water and take my order.
Burger Bar has a vibe which is a combination of a bar and a dinner (although you won't see and booths).“

“Oh. My. Goodness! The fish tacos were so so good! 3 tacos, full portion of flavorful, moist, melt in your mouth fish in each one, topped with fresh avocado and a lime crema that pulled it all together. The shell was deep fried, but it was a great combo of crisp and chewy. Made my night!“

“Food was delicious and just perfectly cooked.
Staff was not courteous. If a customer asks for something simple, you can respectfully respond to them instead of exchanging mocking looks with another customer. Really not appreciated and therefore it would reflect in the amount for the tip. Staff training and professionalism would be very much appreciated.“

“What a fantastic experience. The staff were fabulous and the food was delicious. Be sure to get their Parker House rolls. The wine menu was extensive and bar staff were helpful with selections. If you are staying at Hotel Vermont, it is right next door. Highly recommend for dinner and drinks.“

“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.“

“Every bite was amazing taste experience! We are do happy to have this restaurant in our neighborhood!“

“A-mazing. Some of the best flavors I've had in a long time. deelish“

“One of the best sandwich ever had. Prices are very good. Portions are perfect. Taste amazing. Fresh, lots of stuff inside the bread. Bread is fresh and tasty. Well balanced. It will become my go to when I come back to Vermont. 27$US (including tip, tax and 1 drink) they also have the Mossie drink which is an experience on it own😅“

“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.“

“We enjoyed our time sitting at the bar. Our food came out fast and was delicious. Our bartender, zib, was awesome! He shared some laughs with us and was very attentive to our needs from beginning to end. We will come back again and again! Thanks again, Zib!“

“Got the Thai chicken on curry and cheesesteak on white. Both big and tasty, but 2/3 of the Thai was rice and 2/3 of the cheesesteak was filled with lettuce. Curry wrap was good! If there was a little more protein in each and chicken wasn’t bland I’d go 5 star. Still a solid lunch spot.“

“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.“

“Ron and his wife are always amazing and Proffasional. I been going here since 2005. My to go place for fish and chips England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 style and of course their huge subs. Love all the staff all amazing and keep up the good work.“

“We live just a few minutes away and consider The Shelburne Tap House our “neighborhood joint.” The staff are always wonderful and the food is consistently high quality. Also, I love that Bob Ross is often on over the bar and that they recently added pizza to their repertoire. Ask for the salt and vinegar wings extra crispy, order the pretzels with cheese sauce, and don’t forget to look at the specials menu! The smash burgers this week were tops!“

“I stopped there recently with my girlfriend and we both had western omelets that were fantastic. Mine was the best omelet I've had in quite a time. The eggs were fluffy and seasoned very well and all of the other ingredients were fresh and flavorful. We ordered directly from the cook who was very friendly and kind, in a cute little dining room that was playing the classics and was so quaint, homey, charming and friendly that we've already sworn we would go back. I cannot recommend highly enough. Please check it out, you won't be disappointed!“

“absolutely the best breakfast I've had in forever!“

“Visiting my childhood hometown from out of state and went for lunch with an old friend. The service was quick, kind, and very attentive, and took care with my numerous allergies. The food was good and I came back to try the flourless chocolate cake!
They had lots of food options for those with allergies, I wasn't limited to just a few!

The patio is nice but near a busy intersection. I preferred sitting inside to chat with my friend, but outside alone was fine.“

“Sandwiches so good they will bring tears to your eyes!“

“My husband and I tried the Guild the other night to celebrate my birthday and had an incredible meal. We ordered drinks, the Steak Tartare, rolls, the filet minion special, the ribeye and finished it off with orange crème brûlée and the Guild sundae. Everything was perfection, the wait staff were extremely attentive and friendly. I just cannot say enough good things about this experience. Highly recommend.“

“We had bluebird cater our wedding this past Saturday and it was perfect and delicious l!“

“Jed, the Mixologist is amazing. He has an incredible range of combinations and mixes that will suit your every mood and taste. A genius!“

“RJs is if not the best bar in Burlington. Cheapest food around town, and you can get a Foam beer for $2 less than at foam itself. Recently they put on a fishing video while I was eating a $6 burger meal, and I figured I must leave a great review“

“This was our 1st time experiencing this place! We decided to stop for my Birthday. We are traveling from MS, and wanted to enjoy the local food. The wait was a little long, but well worth it for sure! If we are ever back in the area we will definitely stop by again. The food was phenomenal, they staff are very friendly & fast. The atmospheres buzzing but very relaxed.“

“I travel 3 hours to visit. Best food!!! ❤❤❤“

“First time ever coming here food was beyond amazing mussels in garlic wine sauce was spot on could have consumed the broth itself! Had the 12 oz NY strip, by far best steak in a long time, would rank my top 5! Atmosphere was great and staff was amazing! Executive chef came out to visit and see how we liked our dinner!“

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

“Had a lot of fun here on our honeymoon in 2015. Highly recommend!“

“This place has very good food. My wife and I had a great time for our anniversary. Beautiful ambiance, sort of transports you to a new (“good--maybe theres some hope 😊”) feeling about church street sitting by the window in the front. I imagine it’s beautiful w the Christmas tree out there. It feels like effort was taken to have very good options at multiple price points. We had the filet mignon and the chicken and lobster mac. All very good.“

“Review just for ice cream
Huge portions! The black raspberry was fine but the vanilla was *chef kisses* I asked for a “cat cup” and I got one! My cat was very pleased.

Restaurant review: if you’re a vegetarian I don’t recommend it.“

“I’m in town briefly while my dog is having surgery at a specialty center. I wanted to grab a quick breakfast before picking him up to go home. I mistakenly stopped at a different cafe down the road, was greeted by staff not wearing masks and arguing with each other. I paid for my food because I was caught off guard and didn’t eat it. Found Williston Coffee Shop and immediately felt like I was in the right place. Staff was friendly and polite, wearing masks and keeping customers safe. Food was so amazing and fresh, and coffee was awesome! I’m so glad the first place didn’t work out, because my tomato basil egg sandwich was incredible. I know it’s hard right now, but you guys are doing a great job keeping everyone safe with your extra protocols, and it shows. If I come back to town I will come back, and anyone that visits the veterinary practice will get a referral to your coffee shop from me!“

“The matzoh ball soup tastes like love, and that’s all you need to know.“

“❤️I’m obsessed with their COLD BREW! I sweeten it with agave...so addicting❤️“

“Recommend this establishment any day“

“Super-fun experience at the culinary experience at the Essex Resort in Essex, VT. Our instructor, Denise, led us through the recipes and techniques to create a wonderful Vermont dinner that included roasted root vegetables, braised chicken (in dark beer and demi-glacé) with shallots and a variety of mushrooms, and a lovely kale salad. We were given the opportunity to decorate autumn themed sugar cookies as well as dip tiny apples into a luscious caramel coating. A small group of 9 students made the experience very intimate. Our meal was served with wine and fresh bread accompanied by an herbed compound butter. Denise was a perfect instructor and I would recommend the experience to anyone who loves to cook.“

“Bartenders Will and Jayden did a fantastic job. Service was quick and prompt. The food was even better. I don't know what this place is paying them but this place should pay them more. Excellent service. Hip atmosphere job well done 👏 Shane“

“kind and accommodating staff willing to give food suggestions to an out of town visitor looking for a tasty but affordable meal after shopping!“

“Old post is the best place and the bar tenders are great.“

“We enjoyed our first experience here recently. Philly cheesesteak and poutine were both excellent but buffalo chicken sandwich was good as well. Good variety of craft beers and cocktails. Staff and patrons both really nice. Only 2.5 TV’s but a good alternative to downtown craziness if you want to catch a game. We’ll be back!!“

“Absolutely delicious!!! From appetizer selection to entre. Every special occasion and family group eat outs here from now on.“

“I've been to a lot of Longhorns but this particular location was excellent. The food was presented well and tasted like a five star location. Our server was attentive and the atmosphere was amazingly relaxing this was the best Longhorn we've ever been to hands down.“

“Service and staff were beyond friendly and attentive..food was SO GOOD!!!“
