11 Best American Restaurants near Waterbury Center

“Very attentive fine dining experience.“

“Great spot for lunch on a warm summer day. Cashier was very helpful walking me though the menu and giving me her recommendations. Ended up settling on a sandwich meal with a side of Mac and cheese. Even though the sauce was poured on top it was more than enough once mixed in. The chicken pesto was great and I got a carbonated apple cider with that. Everything was amazing. Then you can go across the street to gear a creamy to finish off the meal. Great place to stop by. Can’t wait to be back to try more of the menu.“

“Derrick is the most personable bartender in Montpelier and I’m SO HAPPY that Hugo’s brought back my wedge salad. Love the vibe here. Love the live music. What a gem💜“

“My husband and I ate there last night for our 20th anniversary. He can be very discerning when it comes to his steak and restaurants in general- but we both loved our dinner! Our server Bri was wonderful and we had a great experience- we’ll definitely be back!!“

“One of the best meals we had while visiting VT was at the Reservoir. OMG!! The poutine appetizer was absolutely unbelievable. It was cheesy and bacony goodness. We wanted to lick the plate at the end. My smash burger was one of the best burgers that I’ve ever had. Loved it so much! It was so juicy and delicious. The salad was a good side dish. My husband opted for a plain chicken sandwich instead of the hot chicken. Hot chicken would have had more flavor. My cousin loved his cheesesteak. He said it was one of the best cheesesteaks that he’s ever had. It was super juicy and delectable. My other cousin loved her mahi mahi sandwich. She wanted something different and loved it. Our waiter was very attentive, very personable and gave great food recommendations. He deserves a raise. The Reservoir is a must visit when in Waterbury. Everyone loved the food and the service. Wish it was closer. I’d be there all the time. We’ll be dreaming about it until our next trip.“

“Intriguing art abounds in every corner of this bar and the plethora of disco balls encourages one to get their groove on. It’s a terrific venue for bands looking to reach an appreciative crowd of live music lovers. Service was friendly and excellent, willing to mix you a grandpa’s whisky sour with Squirt. Not your typical bar fare here with coq au vin over noodles and gumbo that was a standout.“

“We enjoyed a fine meal at the Whip this evening. The food was excellent. The drink was very good. The seating on the deck outside by the pool was very nice. The service was not so great. First we waited much too long for our server to find us at the table outside and they seemed not too happy to be serving us. Water and bread came out but getting a second glass of water took way too long. We weren’t in a hurry but the waits in between seeing our server were too long. We were the first to be seated on the deck outside but the three other couples that arrived after us had the chance to eat full meals and pay long before we did. We could see our server moving about the kitchen and other areas but serving us didn’t seem to be on the top of the list of things to do. The wait for the check was very long. We considered going to ask someone to provide it so we could leave. Dinner tonight was to celebrate my birthday and we didn’t skimp. The bill was around $165. Apps, dinner and a couple drinks. But overall the service left us disappointed.“

“The best restaurant I have ever been to. the parking was adequate, no waiting with the reservation, service was excellent, food was off the chart, and the atmosphere was absolutely ideal. 5/5“
