22 Best American Restaurants near Waterbury

“Excellent food and service!! Great atmosphere and consistently great food and service!“

“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.“

Blue cheese 🧀 burger 🍔 😋 all day all night long. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. Shane from Massachusetts“

“We stopped in for dinner during our trip to Stowe. The food was really good. Our waitress forgot our fries and the kitchen had closed, so that was a bummer. She did compensate us though and that was nice. Overall, it’s worth the wait if you can’t get a reservation.“

“Very attentive fine dining experience.“

“Awesome restaurant.. Awesome food and awesome service“

“What an awesome experience !! Atmosphere, food, craft beers, especially the beer radish! So easy and delicious! Couldn't find the right radish at home in KC (Go Chiefs!!) but substituted a Diakon radish, so good. The staff we could tell were so happy working at this place, it showed in their attention to detail, conversation and mood! Thankyou so much for the experience, we will be back. One of our absolute favorite places !!“

“Usually have a great time there. Our first bartender Matt was fantastic. Very personable and made us feel welcome. The second one, Brendan not so much. He definitely did not have the right attitude for the hospitality business. Maybe he was just having a bad day?“

“Excellent place to enjoy friends and family! The food is amazing and the bar has a great selection.“

“We catered two separate meals for 37 people and we could not be happier! Athena was very helpful in creating a menu for our group, making sure to accommodate a few dietary restrictions! We did the taco bar for dinner one night, and a few sandwich platters for lunch the next day. Our group had only positive things to say about both options.“
