“From the moment I stepped foot at Jules on the green I noticed how maintained the dining area was. The tables were spotless, and the floors were free of any debris, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The staff were professional, and they were able to assist me with what I needed as soon as I walked in. Jules on the green not only offers delicious food but also prioritizes cleanliness, making it an amazing dining experience. Highly recommend!“

“Great service. Drinks always full.“

“This place is a must if you're visiting vermont!! The food is fresh and the tenders are huge. My friend and I tried the reaper and its definitely really spicy so try at your own risk because the spice really just hits you out of nowhere and it lingers for a while. Nonetheless we had a great experience at this location and are excited to go back :) also Charles was super sweet and made our experience with the reaper much better!!“

“Excellent local drinks, with the cucumber feta salad as a standout. The pizza was so good that even my wife, who usually isn’t a pizza fan, couldn’t stop praising it. That’s a big endorsement. Great service and a wonderful vibe all around“

“We had a delightful meal tonight at Bourbon Street restaurant in Burlington, Vermont. Chef Richard is the host, chef and owner. He was a pleasure to meet, the food was delicious and the desserts were fantastic. This is a cozy little Mecca in Burlington. We felt like we were welcomed into Richard’s home. We are happy that we were able to get reservations. The food has various little twists that provided gastronomical delights.“

“Had an amazing afternoon at the tasting room! Both bartenders were incredibly knowledgeable and personable, guiding me through the tasting and helping me choose a few drinks. I ended up leaving with a great selection of Mad River products. If you're a bourbon or rum enthusiast visiting the Burlington area, this spot is a must-visit!“

“Excellent ice cream and amazing service“

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

“it's our first time here and won't be our last. We come up from NY every labor day weekend and just found this place. The food was amazing, and that's an understatement. 10 out of 10 sure“

“Great coffee and community“

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

“We came here for some beers and there is a pizza place upfront that you can bring your pizza to the back. It’s kind of a Detroit style pizza that was 3.5/3 but the beer was five out of five and the people working there were nice enough. Felt like a bit of a local place.“

“We recently hosted a rehearsal “meal” with apps in a private room. The food was fabulous and the space allowed everyone to mingle and move around comfortably. My only wish would be that the private room bar would as stocked as a bar….. not just beer and soft drinks. The staff was attentive and thoughtful. We had a great time.“

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

“Great spot, great beers and friendly service. A nice place to enjoy a drink by the lake front in Burlington. We’ll be back next time for sure!“

“Kestrel has awesome coffee and the best staff. Going other places doesn’t compare!“

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

“Awesome crust! They always excel!“

“The best coffee in Burlington, and maybe the world. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. What a great place with a choice of 3 espressos!“

“We arrive half an hour after opening on a Saturday night and the place was packed. You have to be patient for seats, but can enjoy a beverage from the bar which includes local beers, spirits, and sodas. Our family enjoyed the fries (spiced with a unique flavor) and garlic dipping sauce, mejadrah (Lebanese lentil pilaf) to start. For main course we had the chicken shawarma in a wrap, and beef kofta on top of fancy rice (chicken flavored rice). We closed out with the maple konafa; a single serving that could easily feed three. It was light with a slightly salty cheese covered with shredded buttery philo and maple drizzled.

Overall nice atmosphere, but be prepared for crowds and folks looking for seats at the bar, by the kitchen, windows, or picnic tables on the main floor. Staff was helpful and cooks did their best to get food out amid the crush of folks. Definitely will try ordering for pick up next time.“

“We visited August First as a group of four and had such a wonderful experience! Although we had to wait a little while in the queue, it was absolutely worth it once we sat down. The food was fresh, delicious, and full of flavor, and the atmosphere made the wait fade away. We truly loved both the place and the food, it’s definitely worth a visit!“

“Great place for craft beers and a good time.“

“I visited this place recently and overall had a good experience. The location is nice, with a beautiful outdoor view that really adds to the atmosphere. Parking is limited though, with only a small space available, including a small bike parking/locking area.

The burger was juicy and very good in taste, but it seemed like it was prepared a bit in a rush. The ingredients were falling out between the buns, giving it a slightly unfinished look. With a little more attention to presentation, it could have been excellent.

The best part, however, is the ice cream – it’s high quality and makes for a perfect treat after the meal.

Overall, the place has potential, and with the good food, ice cream, and great view, it’s definitely worth a visit.“

“Nice ambianced restaurant located right on a busy street with lots of traffic. Some parking spaces along the street. Staff members very welcoming and friendly. Music was all 60’s music (which I felt right at home). Food was fresh, tasted awesome and price was fair. Highly recommended!“

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

“Stopped in for a Sunday lunch after going to the bird museum. Good spinach amlnd artichoke dip, along with the sticky icky chicken nachos. It was wonderful to taste some food with actual spice in it, but the winner was the chocolate maple porter they brew on location. I can't imagine anything they brew or serve being bad and I look foward to going back.

As a side note, the prices were high but that is the world we live in now, and I would much rather pay to eat here than similarly priced establishments l.“

“I didn’t realize I hadn’t gotten my faster than light sample awhile back when I ordered. I received it recently and was surprised! Thank you kestrel team :) Also I’m very excited to try it. It smells so good 🙂“

“Awesome little place with soda mocktails, real alcoholic drinks, and great beer cheese. highly recommend, especially on Sunday for some great karaoke“

“Fantastic food and service, could not be more impressed! It isn't the cheapest place around, but for the massive amount of delicious, fresh food you get and the speed with which they process your order it is more than worth it! The wrap I ordered was incredible, and quite literally bursting. It barely closed because it was so full! And it was done within 5 mins of ordering even with the steady stream of online orders being completed as well.

12/10 will get again next time I'm in the area!“

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

“Loved this place! It's nice and quirky. Gone for a casual living room vibe. I went on a Sunday; few people about. Sat and had four beers. Had a great time! (And Follinos pizza is next door-and you can order from there too- is really good!) RECOMMEND.“

“Best cappuccino I’ve had in ages! Seriously, it was absolutely delicious. Best experience - walked in to get breakfast on Black Friday, kitchen was closed but we decided to sit at the bar and have a cappuccino. It was perfection. Such a cool place to sit and chill on a wintry day. Thanks, Happy Place Cafe - I 🩷 you.“

“🫶 Fantastic place & coffee!“

“Restraunt is in a beautiful historic building , amazing food with a menu that is always adding items. Employees that have been there for years and years getting better at there craft. I can’t think of a better place to eat in the area.“

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

“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. The mixed drinks were reasonable price a person named Thomas was amazing bartender he was fabulous. I would recommend to go here to eat. It’s very good feeling good atmosphere food.“

“This place REALLY threw me for a loop… walking there I was expecting a quickie bite.. not an amazing dinner meal that even my picky husband enjoyed!

The vibe definitely did not match the level of culinary skills in the food. We got chive pancakes, they were chewy crispy and savory - perfect appetizer!

Two Asahi’s to complement our entrees:
crying tiger fried rice, the sirloin was marinated to PERFECTION! Best I’ve EVER had.
Duck Penang was an entire duck leg in a creamy delicious curry sauce with pineapples and tomatoes. So mouthwatering thinking about it now..

Staff was soooo young but SUPER hospitable and lovely! Luckily we’re not locals otherwise it’d be a weekly meal here for us!“

“Some great cider options including several non-alcoholic options and everything between very dry and sweet. Over a dozen cider styles. Our favorites were the Juicy Hazy and the Unified. The fried cheese curds were exceptional and made from local Vermont cheese.“

“Friendly staff, great food and a cozy atmosphere“

“Two of us stopped in for a late lunch. The place was packed. Hungry customers ranged in age from babies to senior citizens. They offered indoor and outdoor seating. We chose to sit inside, as the day was blazing hot. I ordered the fish tacos, which were delicious. They only had two alcoholic drink options: Corona and their cocktail of the day. This is a very fun and pleasant place to eat. Highly recommended.“

“I'm reading a book called "The Book of Delights," wherein the author extolls quotidian joys. If I had my own book of delights, Kevin's Coffee would be my first entry. Special thanks to Lael, who has a real way with the espresso beans!“

“Went to the 80s vs 90s show I came All the way from NY ! I love the setting and the show was phenomenal!!“

“The food is great. A little pricey. I wish it was more comfortable to stay and eat there. Not a great place to sit down.

Be careful online ordering. It assumes you want tuna unless you unselect it. Picking a different protein does not remove the tuna.“

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

“As a partial Mexican who frequently travels throughout Mexico and around the world, I must express my disappointment with the culinary experience. I ordered a camarones cocktail, or shrimp cocktail, which resembled a bowl of salsa accompanied by approximately eight camarones. My companions' dishes were satisfactory, but personally, I found this to be more akin to Tex-Mex rather than authentic Mexican cuisine.“
