“Tried this place on Sunday and the experience was amazing! There was no reservations left so we called when they opened and they told us they have extra spots reserved for walkins at the bar or chefs table. We got a cute little corner area of the bar and it was great! We had the rolls and oysters to start, then I had the scallops and beats for the small dishes and my partner had the swordfish. . The flavour profile of all 3 dishes were soooo good! and we finished off with a soft cheese for desert. We also ordered a smooth red Rioja which just made the night better. Definitely recommend!”
“Between a 4 and a 5. The food was excellent but the service was only OK and the prices were high for what you got. Really enjoyed the food - the pizzas were excellent - and the rest of the experience was fine but not amazing.”
“Had a great experience sitting at the bar recently. They were very busy but the bartender took my order as soon as she could, and she was helpful & friendly. Their selection of amari is definitely among the best in the state. I ordered the arugula salad and it was massive, with a good amount of shaved Parm and a tasty dressing. Enjoyed tasting a preview of a super good cocktail that's now on their new Spring menu, called the "Bee's Peas" (thanks Nick!).”
“Server was very attentive and had great suggestions for items to share.(Meatball, kebab, one appetizer platter)Everything was beyond delicious.We all left full and with just enough to bring to our friend!Vegetarian options: there were some vegetarian soup and salad options, anything else was labled”
“Very good cappuccino and iced oat milk latte. The kouign amann was also good and there are a few gluten free options like smoothies. The space is big and comfortable, id prefer slightly quieter music with a more laid back energy but not picky, just have sensory issues. Would love to see a gluten free pastry or sandwich option.”

“Their food is excellent and they have very friendly service which I enjoyed very much. It was just so busy on Saturday in early evening and this is not a place if you are looking for a relaxing dinner. I will definitely come back to this restaurant for their food, though.”

“My son and I ate here Easter night. It was FABULOUS! It had a very cool vibe and the people working there were outstanding, so friendly. Our server, forgot her name (SORRY), was terrific. Great suggestions, attentive but not overly so. The owner Matt was just as nice. Introduced himself, wanted to know how everything was, and thanked us for stopping in. But most importantly - the food and drink. WOW. We were both starving and hadn't eaten all day,so we shared many small plates.....bread, the Basket of French Fries - Melt-em-down, the ham plate, chilled beets and mushroom tartine. All terrific, but we both said the mushroom tartine was our favorite. We ordered potato gnocchi and arctic char for our dinners. Amazing. For the amount of food we ordered, we weren't stuffed, as the portions were just the right size. The arctic char had a maple beurre blanc sauce that was out of this world, so good, I used a spoon to make sure I got every drop! We shared a smallish scoop of pistachio ice cream layered with chocolate chards - just the right size for a sweet bite after dinner. All in all, one of the best restaurants I've been to in while, anywhere, but definitely the best in Burlington. Oh, and the cocktails......divine! Thank you! Can't wait to come back.”

“Can't visit my daughter in Burlington without a trip to Pingala. The varied and tasty menu, the friendly staff and the stunning riverfront location can't be beat! This time I tried the Brunch Crunchwrap. Super yummy and the perfect portion size. My daughter got the fresh rolls, which she enjoyed. Can't wait to come back and try more!”
“We had a very delicious lunch here. The buff thukpa was very yummy. The noodles were chewy, the momo were very flavorful and fresh, and the soup broth was excellent. Everything tasted home-cooked like a mother would make. Very highly recommended!”
“This food was so good and they were able to accommodate my requests for gluten-free and dairy-free food. The dishes smelled incredible and I was delighted that they tasted even better! Spice level, salt level, and the whole bouquet of flavors was all very impressive and great.Delight is a great name for this place! Highly recommend.”
“The gumbo was the best we’ve ever tasted! Perfect seasoning with delectable chicken and crawfish. Also loved the duck ragout, blackened catfish, and jambalaya. Service was impeccable - we felt like guests in the chef’s home, rather than restaurant patrons. Don’t forget to try the sweet potato pie!”
“Still my favorite restaurant in Burlington after many years. Revisited last week for the first time in a couple of years and everything was phenomenal. The menu is ever changing but some classics remain - the muhamarra and baba ganoush served with warm pita are perfect. Also have been dreaming of the halloumi. Even my extremely picky eating 15 year old brother tried and loved almost everything which is a huge testament to this place. Order as many dishes as you can and savor each bite!”
“i cannot believe this place exists! for YEARS, i completely cut out the idea of going out for breakfast, as there are always little to no vegan breakfast options at restaurants. but this place has anything and everything i could ever want, AND MORE! i will definitely stop at this place every time i visit”

“Lovely atmosphere, great location! We got the prix fixe with wine pairing, and appreciated having some options to choose from. I got the lobster creme brulee (a bit unusual but delightful) and my wife got the escargot (best she'd had). The fish was a delight and the moule frite were as expected. Not too notable except the huge portion! Then finished with chocolate mousse and the tarte citrine, which was effectively a lemon square pudding in a jar, which i loved. If we find ourselves in burlington again we will come back here for sure!”

“I’ve had many different dishes here, all have been excellent. My favorites are the hot garlic chicken (appetizer) and the paneer tika masala (main). The roti is very good. Great atmosphere, friendly service, and very convenient location with surrounding attractions.”
“The food was amazing, we are here on vacation and don't get smoked meats like this around home so whenever we find a place that does it we try it. And it was delicious! Where we were sat was a bit loud but it didn't deter much from the time. Highly recommend!!Dietary restrictions: I let the waitress now of my dietary restrictions and she was able to point out clearly on the menu what was on for me and what was not, it helped a bunch!”
“The food was great. Highly recommend the Smash Burger or the wings. Loved that they had a range of drinks from great beer to delicious non-alcoholic options.What I am most impressed with is the staff.

Highly recommend Burlington Beer Company for your next outing.”
“My mom came to visit me in town and we came here. So glad we did. Sat at the bar. Friendly prompt service. Good wine. Delicious bread!!! And I loved my entree: stuffed quail and mushroom risotto. Great flavor, well executed. Oh! And the tiramisu was THE BEST dessert I’ve had out! Seriously.I live here in Burlington and don’t go out that much anymore because I’ve been so let down by really expensive meals that aren’t that great. Trattoria was worth it.It was so refreshing to have a fantastic night out with great food and ambience. Mom loved it too— and she’s a tough critic!”
“4.5!Really great brewery. Beautiful front patio which was full, but they offered us seating in the back which was less vibey but nice and quiet. Big selection of beers-and they’re happy to let you sample before ordering. Also, great menu for accompaniments if you’re hungry! There was also a stage for music, but no one playing when we were there.They were accommodating of allergies and willing to check the labels of their snacks.”
“We simply couldn't figure out why the daily planet did not have a higher ranking on Yelp. We had delicious sandwiches (steak and tofu) with fries on a busy Friday night - great service - great staff - we didn't see Clark and Lois.”
“Best Cider around!Update for my second visit!Best Cider, best Cider cocktails now anywhere near here last few trips to Burlington! Stopped in for some drinks and a snack.. Pretzel bites are great and definitely try a flight or two! The Dock Side Muke is amazing! Perfect plate to hang out and have a few amazing ciders. Make sure you have room in your car to bring a few cans back with you with some truly unique blends of Cider! Will be back again on our next travels through Burlington!”

“Awesome food and service! They take great pride in what they do. Lots of vegetarian options as well. I recommend the lamb keema, lamb saag, chicken tikka masala, butter chicken. Honestly, you can't go wrong with anything there! Preshant, the owner, will go out of his way to make sure your experience there is nothing less than a 10!”
“We have never had anything but an excellent meal, cocktail or service at this Church Street restaurant. Sit at the bar for full service if they are booked. Better yet plan ahead and grab a reservation for more privacy.”
“I have lived in the Chittenden county area for years and have tried just about every Chinese restaurant in the area. Volcano Asian Cuisine is genuinely one of the best. My girlfriend is quite the sushi lover and she thinks the sushi here is the best in Chittenden county, if not all of Vermont. Everything else we have tried (crab rangoons, lo mein, won ton soup, fried rice) were excellent. It’s definitely one of our three favorite chinese restaurants in Chittenden county, along with Oriental Wok (Essex) and Yummy (Colchester).”
“A very beautiful restaurant with great ambiance and superb food. We stopped in for lunch on a Sat and had a salad and sandwiches. The eggplant parm sandwich was the best I've had. The bread was perfection and really made the sandwich. Arugula salad was simple but quite good. Definitely recommend”
“Service was awesome 5 stars. Loved the atmosphere. The food was good, I enjoyed my BBQ burger but nothing exceptional. If you are in town, definitely stop by.”

“i got the Lebanese lamb and i don’t think i will ever have another sandwich that compares. every bite is like a spiritual awakening… definitely an eccentric one of a kind dining experience! + the art is spectacular.”
“One of the best bloody Mary’s I’ve had. The food was great. There’s such a huge selection, no one could leave disappointed. Our waitress was so friendly. Old School “My Little Pony” episodes of n the TV.”
“Such great food with the most friendliest and genuine souls working here! You’ll be sure to leave with a smile and belly and heart full! Amazing folks and amazing food! Can’t wait to be back!”
“4. Great cafe with a big menu for breakfast and lunch and lots of amazing looking baked goods. Friendly staff and big open space. The door kept being left open so it was really cold inside. My partner had the breakfast sandwhich which he said was really good but could have benefitted from bacon (not just bacon jam). I had the chickpea salad which was good but there were a number of wilted lettuce pieces which was kind of annoying.They make their chai in-house and it’s great. They only have one alternative milk (oat) and the only option for regular milk is whole milk.They use vegetable oil on their cooktop so not great if you have an allergy to soy.No vegan options in the baked goods section except for the bread which was yummy!Vegetarian options: Lots of options for vegetarians- not a ton if you’re vegan!”
“Great beer! Jason was lovely at the bar - very welcoming and knowledgeable. The tap room is dog friendly and we were able to enjoy a wide variety. Would definitely recommend!”
“So glad we came here! Their sauces and dressings are out of this world good. The hot garlic house sauce and the maple soy sauce were our favs! Sooo tasty and the service was wonderful, we’ll definitely come back again next time! Got a bunch to-go too yum!”
“The Boardroom is such a fun place to go with friends and family! There are so many games to choose from, the atmosphere is great (the downstairs is like your grandma’s cozy basement), and the food is nostalgic of your childhood favorites. Highly recommend going as your next group outing!”
“Very cool coffeeshop right in front of the Co-op has great coffee and standout pastries - best croissant ? in Burlington so far - still have more to try. The building itself is a yuppie dream warehouse situation.Parking: Parking is tricky to get into because the access road right next to the coffeeshop is one way. Enter through the Howard center and there is another entrance in back.”
“Ordered the maple latte with oat milk. Loved the espresso they used and the maple wasn't too sweet or too bitter. This is definitely one of the best espresso roasts I've had in a long time. They also added some latte art, I was too excited to try the coffee to take a picture.Dietary restrictions: Only have whole milk or oat milk.”
“Had the Irish Benny very tasty home fries could have been a little crisper for my personal taste food came out quickly despite being busy also waitress was very attentive definitely would go ”
“Great little brewery to stop by. Plenty of seats and space. Had a pretty good selection of beers on tap. We tried the smoked beer flight. Not really my taste, but they were brewed well. Next time I'm over there, I'll try some of the other beers they have.”
“Lovely atmosphere and great coffee!!This location is not always convenient for me as I live in Essex. However, when I am in Burlington, it is an oasis of calm and kindness.”
“Food was great, drinks were great. A unique old historic building made the ambiance different than you’d usually find. Our waitress was the best - she somehow convinced our super picky eater to finish his entire burger.”
“By walking by I thought this was only a walkup Creemee location because the line was always long. This store has so much more to offer once you step inside! I would recommend anything on the menu with local maple syrup. The staff were friendly thoughtful and helpful. A bonus of great sunset seating here as well!♡”
“One of the best dinners I've had in Burlington, all the dishes had balanced flavors and good sauces. The cinnamon girl mocktail was great if you love sour things which we did. 50$ a person and we each Got a drink. 4 plates was enough for us but 5 for hungrier people.”
“i cannot believe this place exists! for YEARS, i completely cut out the idea of going out for breakfast, as there are always little to no vegan breakfast options at restaurants. but this place has anything and everything i could ever want, AND MORE! i will definitely stop at this place every time i visit”

“So far the best customer serivce ive experienced in Vermont! Young woman preparing my sandwich was an absolute gem, professionally friendly with a great and contagious positive attitude.Ingredients are the freshest ive had in a longtime at Subway which hits the mark of "Eat Fresh". Churro was ok, nice to try and dont come here specifically for it.Unfortunately had to remove a star, almost 2 because older supervisor/manager was poorly handling the situation and it wasnt even busy. She treated the employee serving me a bit rudely which left a bad experience as a patron given she was serving me with amazing courtesy.”
“I go here frequently and I like it a lot. True, you might run into one or two employees who come off a little unfriendly, but they have never been rude to me, or given me poor service. Great food and salsa options, and always easy parking. I can’t go wrong going here a few times every month.”

Cheap Eats
“I ordered the Miranda sandwich. The first bite was like getting blasted by a flavor cannon. What did I just experience? Various shades of crunchy, chewy, salty, sour, sweet, saucy, crisp. All in one place, shining independently but also pulling together as a team. Was that celery? I didn't even look at the ingredient list. I'd like to continue basking in the mystery. 5 stars”
“Wonderful bar staff. Great recommendations and the drinks are SO good. Can't go wrong with whatever you order or just ask for a recommendation. Fresh juice, they make the syrups in house. The staff is so nice and friendly. 11/10 would and will go ”
“Best in the neighborhood! Friendly staff, excellent latte and baked goods....morning muffin, ham and cheese croissant or homemade granola..its all good. Small, quaint coffee shop vibe, can get a little cramped when it's busy. Worth it♡”
“Can’t speak highly enough of this place. The energy, the atmosphere, the friendliness of the staff and the taste of the food. I’ve had several meals here, hot sandwiches, soups, and the buffet. I’ve yet to have anything less than stellar. My only regret is not discovering this place sooner. An absolute gem.”
“The Cosmic Grind was a dream!! It combines two of my favorite things, space and coffee. The baristas were the most friendly and the coffee was spectacular. Definitely recommend and will be back!”
“Wallflower is wonderful. The whole staff is awesome. The cocktails are great. They draw the best crowd in town. It's the perfect spot for a mellow afternoon cocktail or to wrap up a rowdy Friday night.”
“Have been to The 126 a couple of times now, and each time the service was top notch. The employees were friendly and seemed genuinely happy to be there. I must say that this last time there, the cocktails were FANTASTIC! A good variety and the flavors were layered yet balanced and just killer. Best cocktails I’ve had in Burlington as of late. Oh and the music is great too ;0)”
“HUGE SANDWICHES AND WRAPS. Like holy moly. This thing could feed a family! Lots of selection with the build your own wrap or sandwich option. Allergy friendly for this dairy allergy girl!”
“It's pumpkin spice season and I was lucky enough to find Kestrel Coffee for a quick pumpkin spice latte and lemon poppy seed muffin. The coffee wasn't too sweet and had an authentic (not artificial) pumpkin flavor. The muffin was delicious and very lemony. It's a smaller coffee shop, but has a nice atmosphere with a super friendly staff!”
“Many reasons to champion this establishment. First, great beer selection. 2-their beer is high quality...and then some. 3-this is a no frills brewery; it's about the beer-no televisions, no promotional advertisement's (though they might do promo nights-I do not know), clientele was cheery and engaging (good "craic" as The Irish say and awesome personnel.4-Now, I only know of one employee (small sample size). Simon was a very attentive, friendly, tolerant barkeep, and practiced the willingness to partake in a bit of harmless rhetorical fun.5-But down to "brass tacks." This is a cool place to enjoy great brew. I found out from a neighbor of the area that the place was founded and owned by a former high school teacher. Come on, you can't go wrong!”
“really yummy but still well priced coffee, all the bakery goods looked so great i ended up picking the honey apple cake! little too hot inside for me otherwise i would have eaten in”
“Amazingly good food at a decent price. I've only been for take out but the inside looks clean and inviting. Only ever seen one staff who I assume is the owner and he is very nice. #20 is my go to dish!”
“I've only been here twice, but I love this place. Good prices and good food (fresh bagels and a great current cream scone), decently priced, good coffee drinks and great fresh fruit or veggie juices. The atmosphere is definitely my favorite bit. It's a great place for coffee (or in my case, usually a decaf dirty chai) and chat with a friend. I know it's a popular spot, and it can get busy, but we found it pretty quiet on a Tuesday morning around 930 (but busier by 10-1030).”
“Micro Mobile Kitchen is my go-to choice to eat whenever I visit the BFM. I always look forward to their Impossible kabobs made with great care and consideration for both allergies and inclusion of local ingredients. The flavor is amazing and the service is so friendly. I can't rave about Micro Mobile Kitchen enough!”
“I remember eating Ms. Hong's Dumplings on Church Street with her cart. She has the best Dumplings in the City. After eating these i would defiantly drive 2 hours just to have them. I wish she had more options though. The City of Burlington residents loved her so much they helped pitch in for her to get her own store. Now that says alot doesn't it? I also wish she would sell frozen Dumplings and even sell them in bulk. She could get rich selling them.”
“Such great food with the most friendliest and genuine souls working here! You’ll be sure to leave with a smile and belly and heart full! Amazing folks and amazing food! Can’t wait to be back!”

“There’s a German word Schatzi that means treasure and this place is a little treasure indeed. The food is absolutely delicious and fresh. Sakes were delicious. The appetizers were incredible - we got the oshinko, soba, and tuna with quail egg. My partner got the sushi assortment and I got the steamed salmon in miso butter. I can *bathe* in that miso butter. The bartender and waitress were incredibly nice as well and very attentive. There’s not one bad thing at all. Highly recommend!”

“4.4.Great spot in Burlington. It’s kind of a French bistro meets American pub and gave me a New Orleans French Quarter vibe. Friendly service and knowledgeable staff. Great happy hour/special menu from 4-5pm daily. The steak frites was great- sauce was one the sweeter side.They are super accommodating of allergies, I went in with a dairy and soy allergy and they were knowledgeable about which dressings and sauces were safe and knew without being told that vegetable oil is unsafe.Really kind staff and accommodating of children.Big menu with something for everyone.Dietary restrictions: Accommodating and knowledgeable about dietary restrictions- they were easily able to provide options for both a dairy and soy allergy.Kid-friendliness: Had baby with us and they were super nice about it. They have high chairs available if needed.”
“Service was awesome 5 stars. Loved the atmosphere. The food was good, I enjoyed my BBQ burger but nothing exceptional. If you are in town, definitely stop by.”
“I was immediately greeted like family. This was a day of travel with a backpack waiting for my flight & I was given a cute private space to relax & enjoy. The food & Local Maple Porter were delicious. You can feel the love in this environment!♡”
“We visited in mid April and called ahead to make sure we could still dine with our dogs after reading they were dog friendly. The hospitality we were met with was exceptional! Deb answered and told us they "would love to have us!" That response made us feel welcome right away before even setting foot in the place. They served us on the patio and brought water out for us and our dogs as well. A lot of other restaurants listed as dog friendly in the area would not serve us stating their patios were not open yet. But the Vermont Pub and Brewery went above and beyond! The burgers and beers we had were delicious! Even though we were the only patrons dining outside the staff checked on us frequently everyone was so friendly! They have a decent selection for gluten free options including beer if that's something you need. I would definitely recommend this spot to anyone visiting.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options available”
“Had the Irish Benny very tasty home fries could have been a little crisper for my personal taste food came out quickly despite being busy also waitress was very attentive definitely would go ”
“A very beautiful restaurant with great ambiance and superb food. We stopped in for lunch on a Sat and had a salad and sandwiches. The eggplant parm sandwich was the best I've had. The bread was perfection and really made the sandwich. Arugula salad was simple but quite good. Definitely recommend”
“This place is awesome and wonderful customer service. The waitress was awesome and quick with the drinks. She had great picks for food. I had the tacos and she had the steak.”
“100% worth the advanced planning to get a reservation.Vegetarian options: There are quite a few vegetarian options and there are a lot of things they will make vegetarian if requested. We had the vegetarian Sichuan pulled pork, among other things, and it was delicious.”
“The perfect place to hang out on St Patrick's Day. The atmosphere was great, as was the music, and the food has always been fantastic when I've been there previously. Aside from one exception, the staff were all super friendly and very attentive, also. I'd give it an 8 of 10 on overall.Wheelchair accessibility: The bar and restaurant itself is, technically speaking, wheelchair accessible. However, there is a small section of the dining area which is raised by a set of two or three stairs, and the bathrooms are unfortunately situated on a basement level. So it is serviceable in a pinch to those confined to wheelchairs, although it's interior arrangement leaves plenty to be desired when it comes to accessibility.”
“The food and drinks are so fresh. Cool repurposed Diner. So glad we stopped! The Strawberry Marg was perfectly balanced between acid and sweet berry. Queso, guac, and salsa are a must.”
“Been to Ida a few times. All I can say is WOW! I’ve had the regular pie and the square pie a few times now. The food is unbelievably delicious and some of the best pizza I’ve ever had! I also don’t understand the negative reviews because my dine in and take out experiences have both been amazing. The pizza is 100% worth the price.”
“This place is extravagant. I had the best time going on the Ben & Jerry’s tour. The free samples were perfect if you’re a tourist this is a great spot to learn the culture of Vermont 10 out of 10.”
“Solid joint to stop by. We got their special of fried cheese and their app of fried mac and cheese. Very nice. Interesting that they only do one refill for sodas. Beer selection was solid.Nice waitress. Very busy, though. She passed by us several times and didn't make eye contact when we were trying to flag her for additional drinks.”
“We simply couldn't figure out why the daily planet did not have a higher ranking on Yelp. We had delicious sandwiches (steak and tofu) with fries on a busy Friday night - great service - great staff - we didn't see Clark and Lois.”
“It's fine. The food could use a little more inspiration. They have a couple standout beers, and the rest are fine. Atmosphere is fine. Nothing wrong with this place. It's just fine.”
“My son and I ate here Easter night. It was FABULOUS! It had a very cool vibe and the people working there were outstanding, so friendly. Our server, forgot her name (SORRY), was terrific. Great suggestions, attentive but not overly so. The owner Matt was just as nice. Introduced himself, wanted to know how everything was, and thanked us for stopping in. But most importantly - the food and drink. WOW. We were both starving and hadn't eaten all day,so we shared many small plates.....bread, the Basket of French Fries - Melt-em-down, the ham plate, chilled beets and mushroom tartine. All terrific, but we both said the mushroom tartine was our favorite. We ordered potato gnocchi and arctic char for our dinners. Amazing. For the amount of food we ordered, we weren't stuffed, as the portions were just the right size. The arctic char had a maple beurre blanc sauce that was out of this world, so good, I used a spoon to make sure I got every drop! We shared a smallish scoop of pistachio ice cream layered with chocolate chards - just the right size for a sweet bite after dinner. All in all, one of the best restaurants I've been to in while, anywhere, but definitely the best in Burlington. Oh, and the cocktails......divine! Thank you! Can't wait to come back.”
