“Food was just as good as we have heard, mad we haven’t come in sooner! Will be back for sure!“

“I’m a local. Been to Maxis many times. Consistently good all around!“

“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.“

“Also my second time here. The flights of cider are always a good way to wash down your food, very light and tasted great. This time I had a grilled cheese with ham and tomato. This may sound simple but it was incredibly flavorful and I could have easily split it as it was a big sandwich. The cheese was very creamy. My friends also had the burger and Mac and cheese. Everything was fresh, delicious and homemade. The prices are more than fair especially for the quality. The service was more than friendly and obliging. Love the atmosphere. Very comfortable and the view is outstanding. Beautiful mountains!“

“You made our night @Backyard! It was getting late and we had tried several other restaurants that turned us away due to super long waitlists. We should have just started here. The local burger was beyond epic and pork tots the icing on the cake. We appreciate you and making our rough night one of the best of our vacation.“

“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.“

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

“Amazing place really. I wasn’t expecting a ski mountain to have such an amazing restaurant! The James Moore tavern is fantastic. I ordered the Smashburger with fries and some unique morsels known as duck rangoons. The burger had a crispy patty that was seasoned perfectly, as well as onion jam, a brioche bun, and garlic aioli. The fries were crisp and flavorful and the duck rangoons were fantastically unique and delicious. Sadly they were out of their butter cake but the peanut butter pie was delicious. Probably the best ski food I’ve ever tried!“

“Almost always order online for an easy lunch on the go and reliable and usually have a couple favs I rotate between. Sometimes can feel a bit light on fillings but usually a little cheaper than other offerings in town (but no chips with). New offering was solid!“

“What a really nice place to stop and eat at.
I didnt know the story behind the family, I only saw the sound of music movie dozens of times bit never knew they were a real family that actually settled in vermont. So I learned something new on the trip. The restaurant is very big, clean, has outdoor seating area, can see the brewery from a window inside i didn't tour the brewery. The food is good, place is clean, easy to get to and has very nice scenery around it. The prices are reasonable and portions are good sized.“
