Skunk Hollow Tavern

I have always love the Skunk Hollow Tavern since I moved to the area in1993. The food, the local community and the feeling of home. It is without doubt a feeling of comfort. This past evening I brought 14 people to enjoy this bit of Vermont to celebrate a very successful event. The Skunk did not disappoint!!!
Thank you to all the staff and Gretchen for cooking amazing dishes.
Love all

Very tiny place. I did not eat but I have been told that the food is very good. The upstairs dining is really the place to be. Much more quiet and intimate.

Cosy restaurant with very good food. Chicken carlos

Our waitress was lovely - The food was the most disappointing that we have had in a very long time. There were three of us and we each ordered different things and each of us was very disappointed . Years ago this was a fabulous restaurant. We would not go back again

The service was amazing! The food was overpriced for the quantity and quality. I love the atmosphere, though! Beautiful old building!

My husband and I took our family for a lovely holiday dinner. The dining room upstairs was so pretty with tapered candles on each table. It is intimate and cozy and the staff were wonderful. We felt so welcomed it was like being invited to a close friends home for an indescribably delicious dinner that was made from scratch all that day from start to finish just for you. Everything from homemade baked popovers rolls and sweet bread to appetizers and main course were superb.
The deserts were homemade right there every single one all just gorgeous and delicious.
This, is what made our dinner so exceptional more so than anywhere else was the personal attention from everyone the dinner felt like it was made just for us. It was marvelous.

What a lovely place! My partner and I liked it so much that we had to come back for a second night.

Our favorites were:

the fish and chips
friand (asparagus and brie in puff pastry)
the augustus cocktail
the maple crème brûlée

Highly recommend stopping here, trying the delicious food and getting to know the locals!

I called to ask about what gluten free items were on the menu. I was told we have one or two things that can be done gluten free, ….. long silence…… I asked, so, what items? do you have GF burger buns for the burger or what might be gluten free? The other person emphatically informed me that no they didn’t, they were not that kind of place. They didn’t serve that kind of food with a dismissive tone in their voice. I’ve always wanted to try the Skunk. Now I never need to go there based on the interaction with the person who answered the phone.

Great friendly place, good food. Definitely worth a visit while in town. Highly recommend reservations, especially if you’d like to sit upstairs. We were able to be seated without them downstairs, but it became a full house soon after.

Amazing food (best fried chicken I've ever had) , great service. Super friendly staff. It was an open mic night, and we were treated to extremely cool live music - an awesome bonus! Highly recommended if you're in the area.

We stopped in from out of town and had a great time. The food was A++, far better than typcial pub fare. Home made breads, deserts, and great meals with many local ingredients. The outdoor dining was awesome, we had a table in their garden with a live band playing nearby. 10/10! the picture is of the "desert menu"

I love Skunk Hollow Tavern and have been there many times over the past ten years. I'm surprised by the most of the reviews here: the food is ok, but nothing special. There are lovely touches like the basket of homemade breads that serve as an appetizer. But the cuisine is modest. What is delightful and special is the setting. It's a delightful old inn with a great deal of charm; the downstairs tavern is particularly charming, but the upstairs is as well. Worth a visit but be realistic regarding the cuisine, which is a mixed bag: good but not excellent.

Been enjoying the Skunk regularly since the ‘eighties. Just gets better every time. I’ve never had take-out.
