Restaurants in Winooski

“The food here is generally good though it does have some issues with consistency. The major issue that we have is the time it takes to be reserved. It takes a long long time. We were there a couple of weeks ago and I think we had some appetizer and really just soup and we were probably there for almost 2 hours. It won't stop us from coming back, but it's something worth noting.”

“News Years Eve reservation! super friendly staff, beautiful space and amazing food!! can't wait to try everything on the menu. Seated promptly even for a holiday, loved the industrial look of everything, beautiful view and even though it was super busy everything came out quickly and the tuna poke!!... amazing, highly recommend!!!!”

“So good. Wow. Stopped on our way out of town, wasn't sure the small menu warranted a visit and so glad we stopped. Food is ridiculously good. First bite and my wife said 'this is literally the best thing I've ever eaten' and I agree.”

“Five stars. Our family's happy place.
We've been coming here long enough that the staff greet us like neighbors - and that warmth is half the reason we keep coming back. The other half is the food, which is consistently some of the most flavorful cooking in the area.
My personal standout is the Vegan Panang Curry, currently on the menu and absolutely not to be missed. It's rich, deeply spiced, and genuinely one of the best dishes I've had anywhere - not just at a Thai restaurant, but anywhere full stop. The vegetables are vibrant and perfectly cooked, and the sauce has that layered complexity you just don't find everywhere.
One honest heads-up: seating is limited and it's first-come, first-served, so there can be a wait. We've never once regretted staying. Once the food arrives, the wait becomes a distant memory.
If you haven't been, go. If you have, you already know.”

“There food is so good I keep ordering different things off the menu haven’t had a bad meal yet, I recommend trying there curry!”

“Perfectly fried chicken, unmatched Mac n cheese, and the sweetest cornbread you've ever met!”

“the best hot chocolate I’ve ever had, in a nice space. I only have one very specific gripe: the cup lids are on a very unstable rolling cart. every time I forget and spill my drink a little bit trying to get the lid on, and I’ve watched other folks do the same. one shim would fix this!”

“One of the best beer bars I’ve ever been to, their draft list is well curated with some rare finds. They take the time to pour beers right and have several Lukr taps. Great atmosphere, nice staff, will be visiting whenever I’m in town.”

“ATTEMPTED TIP SHAMPERS!!! Went to the Monkey House for pizza and a drink as I often do in the evenings after work. Tonight I decided to order a whole pizza which costs about $18 plus tax. Between the person I'm dining with and myself, we order 4 drinks. When the bill comes its $45. So I decide to tip $5.00 to the bartender because I had already tipped the gentleman who made my pizza $5.00. The bartender Maria, who was preoccupied with texting on her phone and had her back turned to me the majority of the time I was there eventually brings my credit card back, along with my bill. I chose to tip her $5.00 because I thought that was fair (4 drinks). Maria then looks at my receipt then loudly says to me "I dont usually serve people who tip less than 10%" [SIDE NOTE $5.00 is more than 10% Maria!] You know what Maria, I want my $5.00 back! (I called and she did agree not to charge my creidt card the $5.00 tip.) However, I was enjoying my evening up until Maria attempted to wrongfully tip shame me. Probably wont be back here, at least for a while. Why do bartenders think they should be tipped on food they didn't even make? (And if the answer is, we tip out the guy who makes the pizza, than why is there an extra tip bucket asking for tips specifically for the pizza maker?) what if my pizza was to-go? Would Maria still expect a 20% tip on that? so very annoyed/frustrated and angry at what happened tonight!”

“Southern Smoke has awesome tasting food! The chicken was so flavorful, moist and delicious. The mac and cheese was cooked perfectly, not gummy or chalky, full of flavor. The food stayed hot! The owner Brian was easy to deal with! I would not go anywhere else for catering!”

“The matzoh ball soup tastes like love, and that’s all you need to know.”

“Overall great food. Just not sure when they'll open up again. Been closed almost a month now.”

“I love this place so much. I have been a patriot since it was at its small shop. What I love about it is that the customer service is always wonderfully friendly. it feels like I'm walking into their home to eat their mom's home cooking. I have traveled around and tried pho soup to assess which one is the best. I have gone to Florida Virginia all around the East Coast and hands down their pho soup is the best of the best! I even brought my sister with confidence and she's never tried Vietnamese food before and she had her mind alone. her and her daughter are quite the foodies themselves and they were pleasantly and wonderfully surprised. they said this is the best they ever had!”

“Everything about our experience was a delight. They were so welcoming and personable. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. The food was fresh and delicious. It’s wonderful to see new exciting food choices in Winooski. The owners were so sweet and attentive. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone I want to have a great dining experience”

“One of the best coffee shops in the area, from drip to espresso drinks, this is the place to go in Winooski. Occasionally they have some dope baked goods as well.”

“friendly staff and family, always have a wonderful experience wen I visit.”

“Great people, great atmosphere, great cat- Go Bills!”

“My wife and I went in for a nice breakfast with my daughter and her partner. We were greeted by a nice young waitress named Norra and her service was excellent. She was very attentive and insured that everything we ordered was correct. All of the food was fresh, hot and absolutely delicious. The only change that I would make is the homemade hash brown which to me was a little dense and needed a little bit more seasoning. Otherwise everything was great. We will definitely be back here the next time we visit Vermont.”

“We enjoyed our first experience here recently. Philly cheesesteak and poutine were both excellent but buffalo chicken sandwich was good as well. Good variety of craft beers and cocktails. Staff and patrons both really nice. Only 2.5 TV’s but a good alternative to downtown craziness if you want to catch a game. We’ll be back!!”

“Neighborhood place. Good food, good service. This type of establishment is disappearing in America. Visit tomorrow.”

“On a road trip from out of state, googled some options and was recommended Jrs from another restaurant that was reservations only tonight; so very happy that’s how it worked out! We called ahead to make sure they had openings and the girl I talked to was very friendly. Upon arrival though they mentioned they don’t take reservations they had a table for 5 ready for us. Coming from out of state with 3 kids of different ages there were a lot of questions about the menu and our waitress Lexi was patient and kind; speaking with them directly and making sure to answer all questions. Drinks were refilled without asking, extra napkins supplied, she kept an eye out and checked in regularly. The food was fantastic as well, but Lexi was superb!”

“Decent beer with some unique styles and flavor profiles. The environment is also solid with a beer hall vibe and outdoor seating. Unfortunately the food is a bit overpriced and pretty inconsistent imo”

“Went for my second time to the restaurant yesterday,I enjoy this place.The staff are really friendly,& the environment is relaxing.I definitely recommend the fried tofu 🤤”
