"We had a great dining experience at Vermont Pub and Brewery! We arrived a few minutes before they opened and someone popped outside to let us know they’d be right with us. We were seated at a table by the window, which was nice since we were just visiting the area for the first time and could look around a little. Our waiter was friendly and attentive, and to be quite honest, everyone was. If someone walked past and saw that there were plates to clear, an empty glass, or it looked like you needed something, they jumped right in. They run like a well-oiled machine, especially considering how quickly they fill up and are busy.
Everything was delicious, but we all agree that the star of the show for us was the poutine! Rich gravy and ooey gooey cheese curds atop a bed of crispy fries…annnnd we added bacon. Just a plate full of YUM! (I’m pretty sure the table behind us immediately ordered a second plate as soon as they finished theirs.) We also ordered the light, fluffy pretzel bites, which came with a perfect portion of both cheese sauce and grain mustard.
My shepherd’s pie was hearty and extremely flavorful. I am an eater and I got two meals out of it. It was perfect comfort food on what was a rainy, somewhat chilly afternoon and I love that they use local ingredients that we could then try. I don’t remember the name of my beer, but it was raspberry and it was delightful! Hubs got the toad in the hole and really enjoyed it, again getting to try a unique combo of local ingredients AND getting two meals out of it while being a good eater. From start to finish, we enjoyed our experience and would absolutely eat here again…and you can bet we’ll be starting with that poutine!!"
