So happy we stopped here for dinner. Great food and quite a variety. Something for everyone here with a very interesting menu. Local beer on tap. We'd definitely visit again given the opportunity.

Great food, attentive service, and an amazing throw back sound track. Get the blue cheese fritters, best blue cheese I've ever had hands down.

My husband, 10.5 month old son and I are traveling from Ohio and stayed the night in Stowe. We had an incredible dinner here! My husband had the marinated olives and loved them. I had the blue cheese fritters and they were quite literally one of the best things I’ve ever had. I had the burger which was perfect with crispy edges! My husband had the bahn mi sandwich and said it was excellent! We shared the fries which were like fair fries, sooo good. Our server, Charlotte, was so so sweet, attentive, and interacting with our son!

One of our most anticipated stops turned into one of the most disappointing. The smash burger was served medium/rare both times — unusual for this style. The first time it was sent back, but it took so long that our whole table had finished eating before it returned.
On the plus side, the spicy chicken sandwiches and mac and cheese were excellent. But the restaurant was so loud that you could barely talk to the person next to you — and this was the experience for our entire table, even though we weren’t seated near any other tables/groups.
Communication was also poor; I tried calling dozens of times to book an event here and never once got through, and even my emails went unanswered. Oddly unprofessional for a popular spot, and I’m ultimately glad we ended up elsewhere.

We stopped at Doc Ponds as a group of three — my girlfriend, her son, and myself. We ordered the spicy chicken sandwich, fries, chips and dip, cheeseburger, and falafel.
The falafel was flavorful, though my girlfriend thought it was a little too spicy. The cheeseburger (her son had that) was solid with no complaints. The chicken sandwich was just okay — it seemed like the oil hadn’t been changed recently or it was fried a little too hot, since the coating was darker than expected and lacked seasoning. The sauce on it wasn’t really my favorite, though I can see how others might enjoy it.
Overall, the food was decent, but like most places in Vermont, the prices were on the higher side. It doesn’t look too bad on the menu, but the total adds up fast. On the bright side, the service was very good and made the experience enjoyable.

Really good. The mocktail spritz was delicious.

Cool place spinning vinyl and serving up some good food. Friendliest staff that were attentive, but not hovering.
Started with the chips and dip. Crunchy homemade chips with lots of great BBQ flavor seasoning. Cool onion dip. Just like in your backyard. Would like a little more dip to chip ratio, but I'm just being greedy!
Mac and cheese was brilliantly gooey with a little breadcrumb crunch.
The duck sandwich was crazy delicious. The bread was buttery and crispy. Duck was amazingly tender and the blueberry chutney balanced everything beautifully.
The banh mi was a great take on a classic sandwich. The meatballs were tender, juicy and spiced perfectly. The fresh pickled veggies add a crunch and the cilantro ties it all together. Flavor explosion. The bread was also the right choice for this sandwich.
Peanut butter pie. Enough said.
Beer and cider selection was great!
Not the prettiest of presentations, but the taste more than makes up for it. Go!
Excellent cocktails delicious food, not a big menu which is good. They do it right 👌🏼 it was my son's idea choosing this restaurant for his bday! Great choice. 👍🏻👍🏻

Horrible food—cracker thin burger buns, super salty, burned bacon, cheese melted till it looked like a sauce. The worst burgers we have had. The spicy chicken burger was just as bad. The burgers were expensive enough, yet came with no sides. The drinking glass had food particles on it as it arrived. The drinking glass were not properly washed. The waiters weren't the most welcoming or friendly either. We were seated on bar stools for dinner btw. Price and the quality of food n service just didn't align at all.

Food was truly amazing. Seriously! Casual atmosphere with a very good wait staff. If you go during busy time there may be a bit of a wait but, the food is worth it.
