Came for a late lunch, and was drawn in by all the vegan/vegetarian options! We started with the spinach artichoke dip and it was without a doubt the best I've ever had in a restaurant. I got the veggie burger with fries and my partner got the veggie sandwich both were delicious. One thing that brought this down to 4 stars was our server wasn't very attentive. I do think we were sat in a closed section and they were asked to pick up our table, so this was hopefully the reasoning. Overall I would 100% try this place again.

Unreliable hours... They need to update their hours. Wednesday 3/20 @ 9pm closed for no apparent reason. Not even a sign on the door. Hours say they're open until 11:30pm. Better call first.Edit: I believe the owner that there was a sign, but I walked up to the door and didn't see one. I'm certainly not lying... They did indeed post on Facebook which I don't use, so it might be a good idea to check there before visiting. Staffing issues are a bummer, but ultimately the responsibility of the owner. Bottom line, I drove 20 minutes there and the restaurant was closed which sucks as there's no alternatives in the area after 9pm. That's my experience, and reviews are my avenue of warning others about my experience. Will try to make it back when they're open and hopefully update this with a more positive review.

Very helpful and attentive waiter. The only issue was the Poutine. It was good, but the fries were soft, and the gravy was different. Good, just not what I'm used to. The Lamb pot pie and the desert were very good. I would definitely visit here

Good burger, nice place , very loud with bar crowd noise spilling into restaurant seating area….young crowd 20s 30s…so if you like a busier scene , good - quiet , not so much . Maybe the happening spot for those young people

Good food, great desserts! Had Fish and Chips, Lamb Pot Pie, Chicken Picatta, Salmon. Fish was probably from a frozen bag, Lamb Pie had a nice pastry top and tasted local but was thin on the veggies, Piccata sauce was very good, Salmon and Kale Salad also good. The menus were still greasy from previous use which was not a welcoming sight, unsure if the beers were local. Overall a good experience.

The only reason I gave three stars on the first question is because the hostess was extremely unpleasant and inattentive. When I arrived on time for our reservation, I asked to be seated at a quiet table. She brought me to a table and asked me if it was okay. I said "no" and asked her if we could be seated in the area that is not adjacent to the bar. She said she had no tables there (which made me wonder why she asked me whether the table was okay, seems to me part of a hostess' job is to know whether she has any tables). I asked her to move us if a table became available. She was silent as to that request. When, about ten minutes later, I saw a table became available in the quieter area, and she was setting it up, I asked her to move us. We had not yet ordered our meals although we were waiting for our cocktails.She at first refused, saying that another couple had been waiting for a table. I reminded her that we had also been waiting for a table and indicated that we would be leaving if she didn't move us. She scolded me and agreed to move us only if we moved our own flatware and napkins because the restaurant was busy. It was busy but that seemed a rather inappropriate response. Once we moved, we ordered. We were celebrating something special and ordered two cocktails, a bottle of wine, an appetizer that we shared, two full dinners and a very delicious dessert that we shared. Because we were celebrating, we gave the excellent waitperson a 30% tip. About 15 minutes after she seated us, half the tables in that area became empty and remained so for the remaining time we were there. If I had not been so insistent, the restaurant would have lost a relatively high tab and the waitperson would have lost a considerable tip. All because the hostess cannot satisfactorily perform her job under pressure.

We were there last summer as we were at a horse show at Addison Fairgrounds. The onion rings were the best I have ever eaten and I order them a lot. Plan to return again this summer.

Another terrific evening at Two Brothers! From the moment you walk in everyone makes you feel welcome and at ease. It's a great place whether you're alone, with someone else, or in a small group. The restaurant and the people are super!

Friendly attentive service. Really good food with lots of choices; I always find lots of items on the menu that are appealing—and I'm always happy with the one i pick. Great selection of Vermont beers.

We chose 2 Brother's cafe for our family holiday get together because the menu seemed to have options for the many different food restrictions in our group. Our waitress was perfect, just the right balance of service without hovering. The food was excellent and everyone found something they enjoyed. The vegan in our group was thrilled to have a vegan option for dessert and everyone left full and happy. Would highly recommend.

Our dinner at Two Brothers was great! I hadn't been in since they expanded the restaurant seating area and the new remodel looks fantastic! Food and service was great and they accommodated our party of 7 for a last minute birthday dinner! 5 out of 5 stars, will be back soon!
