Restaurants in Essex Junction

“We made reservations for our large group ahead of time and they were very accommodating. The service was fantastic, keeping our drinks full and making recommendations from the menu. The food was all delicious, and everyone enjoyed their meal. About half of our group hadn’t had Indian food before but they all left as fans! The waiter was able to easily guide the vegan in our group to a variety options for him. We all enjoyed tea and a sweet at the end. We are so glad to have found this restaurant and will definitely be back!”

“I had been a customer of Salt & Bubbles as well as club member for awhile now and alway loved them. When I saw they did weddings I had to have them as our bar service and boy did they deliver! From the day we booked them Kayla was so helpful. She made sure she kept our budget in mind when we had our tasting as well as our individual tastes while also directing us to choose options away from our own taste to ensure all our guests has something they enjoyed. Not only did they provide superb service they also helped out clearing plates which I found out after the wedding and was well out of their scope of why we hired them.”

“Stepping out from behind the bar, Zach filled his role as our Server to perfection. Friendly, informed, attentive and polite, our first dinning experience at Bramble was fantastic! Friends had recommended we add Bramble to our list of options and we're so glad we did. Food was excellent, wine and spirits offered interesting options... Pistols and Pesos was killer! We'll definitely be back. Thanks Zach and the whole team at Bramble for a nice dining experience....something we need more of in the area”

“This is run by people who clearly care about their customers! Service was attentive, I appreciated the extra time to check in with us to see if we like the food. Also prices are great! A few notes that made me not give a 5 star. There was loud rap and then a random podcast going on the speakers and it was extremely loud. Also, the food was so spicy that I couldn’t enjoy it fully. A little disappointing because the flavors were so great. Overall great food though!”

“Excellent service, delicious food, great beer selection, nice atmosphere. So glad we gave it a try. We will definitely be back.”

“Honestly walking in the atmosphere was welcoming, warm and inviting. The staff however not so much. My drink of choice is an iced mocha, unfortunately many coffee shops/bars make them differently so whenever I go some place new I always ask what's I the ice mocha. The guy was kinda snotty to me saying it's the same as a latte but with mocha. I asked what's I your lattes? I also asked how many shots of expresso? The other woman working gave me very soar looks. I'm not new to coffee, I was new to this place and while it would make since that all mochas are made with 2 shots of expresso some chocolate which is also different at a lot of locations and milk. So I wasn't overall impressed with the service and for me that's a big part of the coffee scene. Overall the mocha itself wasn't the best, but it wasn't the worst either.”

“Friendly, family fun! Something for everyone and always see friends there! It's our "Cheers" place where everybody knows your name😍😍”

“Always good food and friendly staff”

“Delicious, generous, and very nice. make sure to get a lemonade, you won't regret it.”

“We love the Essex and come here every time we travel to VT. The staff are responsive and friendly, the rooms are clean, cozy, and comfy. The one warning we would give is to say that the price that you book for is nowhere near what you get charged for at checkout. There are extra add on charges on the bill that “tax” your imagination. Just be sure to ask up front.”

“Got a Cuban sandwich last Saturday to take back to Canada. We were in Cuba three weeks ago, but my hubby never got a Cuban sandwich while there! He raved over this Cuban sandwich - quality ingredients and full of flavor!”

“We placed a large order for Doordash delivery this evening. Our group wanted to try a bit of many dishes to satisfy vegetarians, meat eaters, spicy food lovers, bland food lovers and gluten free folks! We ordered over a dozen different dishes and everything was delicious! Some favorites were the vegetable pakora, momos, malai kofta, cauliflower 65 and the chicken tikka masala. The saag paneer was wonderful but we wish it had a bit more cheese. This was our first time trying this location and we’ll be back!”

“We love this place! The food is amazing and consistently good! We have never had a bad experience. I highly recommend! Their food brings me back to similar dishes I grew up with. I can't not recommend them enough!”

“Great service, without a doubt the best sandwiches in the area, possibly the state. Always get the full, too -- twice as much sandwich for practically the same price. Just one of em lasts me a whole weekend at work.”

“great food every time. one of the best places around for good Chinese!”

“Great local bakery. Very comfortable place to visit.”

“Great place for coffee when I was visiting from out of town! yum 😋”

“One of best deals: large coffee (from the front). Dollar cheaper than Dunkin’ and almost $2 cheaper than Starbucks. Support local! While there, cross street and order best sandwich in Chittenden County: Mertones.”

“I’m a frequent flyer at this bagel shop! The FOH Gals are kind and very hardworking! The BOH team make incredible bagels. There is always a line which indicates a fabulous product, but service is so fantastic, I’m in and out in no time. The only thing that could be improved upon is perhaps a designated place to wait for bagels. It can be a bit awkward and uncomfortable to tower over folks while they enjoy their food.

Essentially no notes! They’re even opening up a location in Williston! I love to see excellence expand!”

“I was surprised that it wasn't busier when I met 3 friends for lunch. The food was great! The service excellent! Clean and light filled atmosphere. Go, before this place gets discovered!”

“great music. looking forward to farmers aid. plenty of parking.”

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

“No overnight parking here. Clean yard. Bathroom available for drivers. Enroute to this business, lots of narrow roads, many speed zones , curves & hills. Be very alert & focused for a safe drive. Lots of traffic in Essex area. This business has great products & they are very professional.”

“Food was horrible, 6 empty bins. When we complained they said they were getting ready to close because of weather so they stopped cooking. I asked why we are being charged full price she responded, "You lucky we open" No! you're lucky I paid the bogus bill of 52.00 for lunch for 2. Oh, they now add on 18% gratuity automatically, you have no say about it.”

“My family has been coming here for years. Both my girls worked here and we have always appreciated the level of consistency that Mimmo's food offers. Always fresh, hot and delicious entrees and salads. Most recently I have been sitting at the bar while I wait for my take out order and have had the lovely privilege of being waited on by Simone's partner. She is a fireball with the best customer service skills I have encountered in Vermont or anywhere! Everything she does is to make the customer feel attended to and she does it with the most energetic and positive effort! Mimmo's never disappoints!”

“My daughter’s favorite restaurant. Food is great, people are great, we love it here.”

“Overall good experience, especially the seafood. The sides were abysmal (not confident the fries would beat day old McDonald’s fries, and the coleslaw would put their Dutch ancestors in shame). However, anything related to seafood is amazing. One of the best lobster rolls I have tried, given its quality and price.”

“Best burrito I’ve ever had!!”

“I love getting free drinks from the app. The workers are pleasant people who always seem to be doing their best. I learned my new favorite drink from a recommendation in the drive thru window Pro tip: Customize your drink to bring your personal cup and every 8th drink is free (approximately). Is it worth it? Don't know, but it's a delightful treat and fun.”
