“I had been hearing great things and just went for the first time. The Hatchet totally exceeded my expectations. There were 4 of us so we shared several apps. Great LOCAL draft and cider selection. Craft Cocktails looked amazing. I have been craving the crispy brussel sprouts for the last day and half. The Hatchet wings were perfect blend of savory heat and great cold the next day for lunch. The crab Rangoons did not stand a chance. I had the spicy karaage Chicken sandwich. Loved the different levels and complexity of heat topped with an egg so grab a knife and fork and enjoy. Others had a Hatchet smash burger, a noodle bowl, and Korean BBQ meatloaf. You know things are really good when the conversations stop for a few minutes. What I enjoyed about their menu is if you like pain jane you are all set. If you are like me and like complex flavors, some heat, Korean, Asian influence you found a warm home !“

“We ordered a bacon cheeseburger, a cheeseburger,a BLT, and a large fries and it was EXACTLY what we hoped it would be. This is a perfect roadside pit stop. Thanks, Joes Snack Bar!“

“Nagueños is a hidden gem that is absolutely worth discovering. Not being familiar with Filipino food, the owner graciously helped me pick out a dish, and it was incredible. He chose Tapsilog - Marinated beef sirloin served w/garlic rice, fried egg and atchara. The garlic rice topped with an over easy egg was cooked perfectly. The beef was incredibly flavorful and fresh. The acid in the pickled atchara was the perfect compliment to the dish. I can’t wait to return and try more. I highly recommend this restaurant!“

“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.“

“The food and customer service is always good. One of our favorite places to go.“

“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!“

“Delicious salad, shrimp scampi and ahi tuna avocado toast!“

“Love, Love their pizza dough! Such a great local spot with a surprising and wonderful mix of offerings. Has a great, casual family feel with good burgers, amazing Greek salad, and their Greek pizza ordered as a calzone, or pie, is a must try!

Kid-friendliness: Small, casual, family friendly dining room. Seasonal outdoor seating and a creemee stand!!“

“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.“

“Simply the best sandwich place around. The bread is absolutely delicious and is what pushes their sandwiches to a 10/10 instead of just an 8 or 9. Everything else is cooked and made perfectly; excellent portions and reasonably priced. Service is fast and tireless, they work hard and it shows. I don’t often tip for pickup service, but I always will here, and at 20%+. Highly, highly recommend Paisley Hippo.“

“Really good food and fast service“

“This Place is Beautifully Awesome. I had a very enjoyable time and experience here. Worth every penny and ill definitely be coming back here in the future when the weather gets warmer 😎. It was a very relaxing peaceful stay here and the staff is all friendly helpful and amazing. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. Shane P Kieran“

“Usually have a great time there. Our first bartender Matt was fantastic. Very personable and made us feel welcome. The second one, Brendan not so much. He definitely did not have the right attitude for the hospitality business. Maybe he was just having a bad day?“

“Nice cozy little place. Great selection of Vermont brewed beers. Burger i had was excellent. Cooked perfectly. It's a small place but they max out the number of tables in there. It may get busy on the weekends as I was there on a Wednesday night. If I'm in the area again I'll definitely be back“

“Great service. Drinks always full.“

“Highly recommend going on Sunday's and getting a booth. Great place to watch the games and grab a bit to eat. Also, they currently offer 50% off their burgers on Sunday's. So go watch the games, order some nachos and a burger and maybe a cold beverage, and make Sunday's great again 😋.

Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly foods are available as well as high chairs if needed.“

“absolutely the best service from Lisa in Williston Vermont I've ever had . Thank you Lisa . The food is always spot on . .Cant ask for a better place to sit and watch the game and have a drink . 💞 Thank you 💞“
