50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants South Burlington

“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 🙂“

“my home away from home, my grundle away from grundle. Golly gee I love this place. I can only express my love through art so a las I wrote this haiku for you, grundle:Where the meat is moist,Where I come to feast and love,Oh grundle, my love.“

“They also have vegan poutine (delicious I'm sure but not for health conscious vegans!) And vegan milkshakes..the crepe is great and since Burlington isn't all that vegan friendly- 1 gourmet place only open for dinner - and this is the only worthwhile vegan option on the waterfront in my opinion.“

“Stopped here for lunch while exploring downtown Burlington, glad we did.

Sat outside on a perfect fall day. Staff were friendly and professional and attentive without being too much.

Wife and I both got salad and mini-flatbreads. Combined with a beer and you have a perfect lunch.

The salads were delicious and perfectly dressed. The flatbreads were delicious, with a wonderful crust and a variety of creative toppings.

The beers were amazing as well. When we return to Burlington, we will come back here for sure.“

“Excellent ice cream and amazing service“

“Good bar for families with kids or young adults wanting to chill and play a board game. Good beer. Food comes out quickly but can be hit or miss. I have really enjoyed some fries there but have had a very dry chicken sandwich and pasta that was just okay. Nice atmosphere, lots of plants, not too loud.“

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

“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!“

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

“Great coffee and community“

“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!“

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

“This place is where great breakfast goes when it dies.

Wow. Bread, yogurt, meat, coffee, bread, and the bread... all top notch. Did I mention the bread?

Line was literally spilling into the street for over an hour on Sunday. Service was FAST, friendly, and was absolutely cruising. The locals know it, and now so do you.

Perfect place if you like a breakfast sandwich or avocado toast start to your day. The grilled biscuits were BANGIN.“

“We ordered a vegan birthday cake and picked up lunch when we got it. The cake was absolutely delicious and my lunch wrap was remarkably good as well. So happy!“

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

“I had a wonderful experience at Burlington Bay Market & Cafe last week while visiting Burlington’s beautiful waterfront. One of the highlights was indulging in their famous creemee – a Vermont classic! I opted for the Black Raspberry Creemee, and it was absolutely delicious. The texture was perfectly smooth, creamy, and refreshing, making it the perfect treat on a warm day.

In addition to the dessert, the food was equally impressive. The menu offers a nice variety of fresh and flavorful options, and everything we ordered was prepared perfectly. The service was friendly and attentive, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere from the moment we arrived. The ambiance is another standout feature – with cozy seating and stunning views of Lake Champlain, it’s a perfect spot to relax and enjoy a meal. I highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area, especially to try their popular Maple Creemee!“

“👍great spot for a coffee and a bagel“

“My husband and I hosted our welcome party for our wedding weekend with Queen City. We held the party in their awesome event space. Jason and his team were absolutely great to work with. Not only was the beer a ten (a given with these folks), our bartender for the evening was friendly, knowledgable, and kept the drinks flowing to our group of 50.The space itself is also awesome - plenty of room for a group, fun games and decor, and even a retractable garage style door to let in fresh air, which we were actually able to make use of as it was unseasonably warm the night of our late October party. They were also kind enough to let us use their audio and mic system, which came in handy for background music and a few short toasts.If you are looking for a variety of easy drinking to packs a bunch beers, friendly & kind folks, and an awesome place to host or just stop in for a brew, Queen City has it all covered. Thanks again!!“

“Great pizza! We were traveling thru and Google recommend this place and it was spot on. We would definitely recommend going. Delicious 🤤“

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

“The cafeteria-style buffet is really good. The food is wholesome and seems pretty healthy; it wasn’t oily and focused on Whole Foods. They have a lot of diversity of options, most of which are vegan, including several types of protein. I ate seitan, tofu (two ways), and two types of beans in one meal! I left full for a reasonable price. Buffets can add up but with so many high-protein options it’s easy to not take too much food and still be sated.“

“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.“

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

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

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

“We enjoyed our lunch a lot. The doner wrap was very flavorful. We liked the baba ganoush and bread.“

“Just had lunch here even though neither my husband or I drink beer. It's a holiday weekend and we didn't want to deal with the crowds. Boy, will we be returning. Pub menu is limited, but everything sounded good. We each got something different and split it. Both were delicious. Also, the Staff is super friendly! As for the beer, there were several people partaking and the City Brew Tours van was there so I'm thinking that must be good also.“

“You know a place is great when you go there again the next morning.

Hip little breakfast spot that services classics, Mexican-style breakfasts like Tacos, and killer smoothies. If you're looking for the best sit-down breakfast in Burlington, this is a contender.

The place has a tiki-style vibe, super friendly service, and even has a bar if you want to grab a Bloody Mary or something similar.

Ample parking on site, down the road from plenty of stores so it makes a good jump-off point if you have a car and you're visiting.“

“When in the area and you need that on stop to satisfy even the pockets and most adventurous in your group - this is the sandwich shop to go to. They have an excellent selection of staple sandwiches but you can also make your own.
Heads up on the size of sandwiches - if you are not an athlete go with a half; unless you also want leftovers. That's what I do. The freshest ingredients make this a good "grab to go" option as well.“

“Everything was so wonderful!!!!! Incredible food, great atmosphere!“

“Good food and beer. Large dinning area“

“If you're looking for excellent produce or hard to find quirky ingredients from all over the world or perhaps the perfect coffee cup or one of the greatest sandwiches you've ever had....you are in the right place at this neighborhood gem.“

“🫶 Fantastic place & coffee!“

“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!“

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

“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“

“Always fresh and delicious!“

“I'd call this a cocktail bar, with some beers on tap and cans. Had a short wait to get in around 11pm on a nice Saturday night-- very popular place. Friendly staff. Plenty of pay parking nearby. Indoor and outdoor spaces, tables, high chairs and sofas. Might be tough for someone using a wheelchair to navigate the space.“

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

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

“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.“

“Great food. I desire to have scallions in my won ton soup but that is ok that it wasn't there. The Dumplings are to die for. The lo mein is great. The real plus is they make there own hot mustard not in a package.

Parking: Easy parkimg.

Wheelchair accessibility: They my have to help youif you are by yourself the door is heavy.“

“❤️I’m obsessed with their COLD BREW! I sweeten it with agave...so addicting❤️“

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

“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!“

“Stopped in while waiting for our daughter's flight to take off. Fantastic atmosphere. Staff and owner are very hospitable and friendly. Loaded tots are spot on and the house creme is on point. Ordered a Season of the Witch and house Old Fashion. The Witch is an incredible fusion of flavors and smooth to drink. The Old Fashion with OF 1910 was a perfect example of what and Old Fasion should be. Ruby the bartender should be commended on her mixology skills.“

“Neighborhood place. Good food, good service. This type of establishment is disappearing in America. Visit tomorrow.“

“We stopped in for a quick drink. 👍🏻“

“It was my first time dining here with my Dad! Great staff and food!“
