Went for lunch. Horrible service took over 30 minutes for 3 sandwiches and a hockey puck of a smash burger. Sodas were flat. Waitress took at least 15 minutes to come to our table to take drink orders. Mind you the restaurant was more than half empty.. the burger was rock hard and burnt. Awful not worth the 74.00 for lunch. Sorry

We have patronized this restaurant for 7+ years and have recommended it to others. We just had the worst experience, ever. The wine was sour and almost made me sick. I asked for a different glass of the same wine, and it was good. The supposed grilled chicken (that I specifically asked to be very well done) was white and visibly not grilled. The owners and staff bullied us and made us feel that I was being difficult for asking for what I wanted and speaking up when I didn't get it. My husband finished his meal, but I never got my second request for a different meal. It's clear that this establishment's owners and management do not care to hear the requests from their patrons and more willing to blame them than make things right. I spent $57 for an app, a beer, a glass of wine, and a salad. I'm happy to share my receipt with anyone who's interested. This isn't a high-end restaurant (which is perfectly fine), but to be treated the way we were should cause pause to anyone considering going here. There are so many fine casual and fine dining restaurants in the greater Burlington area - you don't need to experience this. BEWARE - the owners admitted to eavesdropping on our personal conversations and video recording of their patrons.That's a bit scary in these times.

The owner's assumption that my one-star review was due to the bread selection is not only incorrect, but also dismissive of the real issues I experienced during my visit. The staff's behavior was unacceptable, and I was made to feel unwelcome from the moment I walked in. I didn't even get to try the food because the service was so poor. If the owner is willing to listen, I'd be happy to provide more feedback.

I wrote home about my dinner. The food here was fantastic! Lots of locally sourced things on the menu. Everything was perfectly seasoned. The owners were very friendly. Without question will go back and will bring others. I had roasted asparagus soup, an Austrian sausage platter, and a blueberry and lemon cookie ice cream sandwich.

Comfy atmosphere with comfy food. The Vermont cheese board was well composed and plenty for 4 people. Local ingredients were found throughout the menu which is appreciated. I had the seasonal fiddlehead soup which was delightful.

We had a family party of 10 Saturday evening and the staff did a great job, allowing us to enjoy our precious time together. Thank you!

As usual, the food in the BTV area is average. Service was excellent and the place was immaculate. I was glad to be served bread and then chocolate bark at the end.

Came here for the first time today and really loved it. Wished I had come here sooner. The tomato soup and grilled cheese was perfect, the server was super friendly, and it felt like a nice neighborhood place.
I've worked as a line cook off and on for 18 years, and am super picky about food. Barkeaters was surprisingly much better than the hyped up restaurants in downtown Burlington and the surrounding area. I will be back.
What great locals joint! Loved the vibe in there and the food was great. Will definitely be back

Good food, service wasn't too bad even though it was busy.
