The Bench is a popular spot in Stowe, offering American comfort food in a cozy atmosphere. The menu features dishes like the meatloaf, ½ rack of ribs, ½ duck, and duck fat fries, which are all highly recommended. The meatloaf is tasty, not dry, and served with a large portion of mashed potatoes, gravy, and grilled vegetables—though the French fried onions can be pushed aside. The ½ duck is slightly better than the ½ rack of ribs, which fall off the bone but come with a standard sauce. The fried soft shell crab sandwich, truffle oil and cheese flatbread, pizza, chicken sandwiches, and poutine are also available on the seasonal menu. The bar offers an incredible beer list, including many options from Hill Farmstead, and the food is consistently good. The stonefired pizza with fresh ingredients is highly recommended. Service is attentive and friendly, with staff checking in and making guests feel welcome. The atmosphere is comfortable, making it a great place for lunch or a cocktail. The fries infused with salt and vinegar are a must-try and highly praised. It’s a great place for families, and reservations are recommended during busy times. Overall, The Bench remains a favorite for good food and friendly service in Stowe.
