Restaurants near Waitsfield

“Emily & her homemade fresh menu paired with a welcoming atmosphere make for my favorite hang in The Valley ❤️”

“The food is delicious! Very casual atmosphere and kind of quirky because you order at the counter. They serve you at your seat and check back constantly. Ingredients are fresh and interesting. Great addition to the Mad River Valley. Will definitely be back!”

“Great place to stop in after a day of traveling, hiking or have a wedding. Really enjoyed the BBQ they had, it was a first, but I am told they are going to do more! Not too smoky just right! Really great game area with cornhole and mini golf Drinks were amazing as well! Had a nice selection of whiskey bourbon with local beers! Shoutout to Jenny aka JBlock! And Staff! You guys were amazing!”

“Worth every dime. The poppers with shredded pork is phenomenal and everything is from scratch. Had a house of picky eaters and ended up with no leftovers. It’s that good.”

“Amazing pizza and super friendly owners! Thank you for making our dinner incredible! We will be back!”

“Tasty soup and the fresh bread too!”

“We ate there with the prior menu in place and now the new menu. Have to say both were very good but the edge goes to the current selection.”

“I’ve been coming to American Flatbread for almost 40 years now, and every time I return, it’s like stepping into a pocket of peaceful magic where the world slows down and everything just… feels right. Nestled in the green heart of Waitsfield, this place is more than a restaurant—it’s a ritual.

The energy here is grounded and glowing, from the giant clay hearth oven that radiates warmth and love, to the open fields where kids run barefoot under the mountain sky. The barn hums with life—laughter, good vibes, and the scent of wood smoke mingling with fresh basil and melting cheese. You can taste the care in every flatbread, each one a canvas of local ingredients from farmers who know the land and love what they grow.

The food? Soulful and straight from the land. The Evolution Salad bowls packed with greens so fresh you’d swear they were picked moments ago. The Revolution and Punctuated Equilibrium are more than menu items—they’re philosophies, slices of something deeper.

Don’t leave without getting the brownie sundae. It’s a masterpiece, topped with hot fudge and scoops of ice cream that swirl together like yin and yang. It’s peace, love, and chocolate.

American Flatbread isn’t just a place to eat—it’s a place to feel grounded, grateful, and full.

And yeah, there’s usually a wait. We get there early, post up by the bonfire, and sip on some of the best local brews Vermont has to offer, under a sky that always seems to be putting on a show. Let the mountain air work its magic.

This place has soul. It feeds more than your stomach—it fills your spirit. After three and a half decades of going, I can say with love and certainty: American Flatbread isn’t just a meal. It’s home.”

“Nice brewery to stop off at for a few rounds. I like the fact that they have the option of a 6 ounce pour. Also, the soft pretzels were pretty good. I would recommend the everything pretzel. The beer cheese was also tasty.”

“Very unique and great tasting creamy as well as fried chicken and fries!”

“Libations with Shorty, and Bob’s Roofing , try the margaritas”

“Great pizza , good beer .. cool staff … nice location 10/10 thanks”

“We loved our night here!!! The room and bathroom area was huge. So clean and comfortable. The staff was great! The food was great! We highly recommend this place!! And would definitely stay here again!! 5 stars ⭐️”

“The inside is a lovely place to read, chat, or work if the snow is bad. Unfortunately, I have been unimpressed with the espresso each time (chai latte, cappuccino, americano). I might need to stick with drip here.”

“All the food here is exactly what you would expect. I have never had a bad dish. And some dishes I would say are done extraordinary well. Always a quick wait time. Love the stafd here they work very hard to keep our community happy.”

“Amazing ham and tasty home fries!”

“Amazing coffee and their scones are perfection! Definitely a great place to check out!”

“We've been getting delivery of Carrier for years, and it's so incredibly good that we never want to switch it up. We periodically cycle through different brewing styles and the beans cooperate no matter how you do it. On top of that, the people that own/work here are incredibly kind. Can't say enough about Carrier!”

“The food is great. Pleasant owner and staff. Great atmosphere!!!”

“We had a great meal this past week at Deco. The server was great and was quite helpful as one member of party is lactose intolerant. The chicken wings were crispy and delicious as was the brussel sprouts which were some of the best I’ve had. The burgers, buffalo Mac and cheese, and the grilled cheese with grilled onions was amazing. It had maple syrup dipping sauce which made the person having this, “best thing ever.” So it you’re at Sugarbush and looking for great food in casual but nice setting, don’t miss Deco.”

“Food was pretty good. Staff was alright. Place was quite run-down and old. Counter area had water damage covered in old dirt. Kitchen looked like it was put in around 1980. Tables were old, but clean. Funny thing is - it's usually the old, seedy looking places that know how to make good food.😁”

“awesome food and service!”

“Good solid breakfast, homemade hash was excellent...If your looking for gourmet this isn't it, if you want a really good solid breakfast this is your place. Definitely will be back”

“Saved my butt by making sandwiches after it looked like he was cleaned up and ready to head home. Wife wasn't feeling well back in the room. Sandwiches were unreal good. Great food and a great guy. Will definitely make this a regular stop.”

“My family’s loved all of the offerings for ages, beyond excellent bread. Favorites are -olive -raisin -garlic -white loaf -english muffins. Freezes well too. ♥️?”

“Wonderful owner and service, great food, phenomenal menu and great craft beer! Would highly recommend and we will be back soon!”

“We hired Nomad Coffee for a post wedding celebration of 100+ people and we’re so glad we did! They brought a super classy full service latte bar and offered great, friendly service and delicious drinks. It was such a fun, unique addition to the party! The special touches like custom stamped cups with our wedding hashtag made the experience all the more awesome. Don’t hesitate to hire these friendly, professional, and talented baristas!”

“The food here is absolutely delicious. We will be back when in Vermont.”

“This space has it all! Good people, great food and a lively atmosphere! Don’t miss live music on Monday nights! Stop in to hear local and national hip hop talent.”

“We first started coming to Waitsfield in 1987 or so. I don’t remember when we first started coming to Chez Henri, but it was a long time ago.

A few things have changed. They’ve reduced the size of the dining room because of being short staffed and the bread being warmed by the fire, along with fireside seating is gone. But the overall character is unchanged.

The food was excellent. The fondue is always so much fun. The mussels were excellent and our mains were perfectly prepared.

My favorite has always been the crème brûlée. The texture is perfect. It’s home made all the way.

We will always be back for more.”
