Hands down best brisket in Vermont. If they were willing to sell by the pound and bottled their white sauce, I would spend infinitely more money here.

Food was good but took way too long to come out. A table that was seated much later than us got their food at the same time.

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!

Good, but no wow effect. The meat very well seasoned, but overcooked, despite dinner time (6PM) large choice of menus and dishes to share for a snack. The poutine on the other hand, the recipe seems delicious KFC style sauce but salty and the fries also very salty with coarse sea salt so too much salt in the dish, unable to finish it too bad and disappointed with that. They charge 10% tip on the bill, they demonstrate it honestly, but I was uncomfortable having to tip only 5% since I usually give 15% but given the 10% already allocated I didn't see the need to put an extra 15%…

Food was good, service was a bit slow. They add a tip automatically, not sure how I feel about that.

I guess it's alright for a northern barbecue joint. I thought it was lacking quite a bit. It wasn't terrible but it wasn't what I was hoping for. Excellent service, the food was good. The pricing was fair

A few years ago I discovered this place and loved the food. I came every 6 months before Covid. It's been a few years since I've been there. The food has changed. Mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, and wings are not the same. The only thing we liked were the wings. It's now super expensive to eat there and it was a big disappointment for us. It's very sad because it was so delicious before. We will not come back unfortunately.

Delicious food and more than we could eat in one sitting.. My elderly father said he wanted ribs and we had never been to Bluebird. He was overjoyed at all the flavors of the seasoned mashed potatoes and the ribs-both with and without the extra barbecue sauce. My brisket was so tender, I didn’t need my knife to cut it. With the addition of the maple barbecue sauce…heaven! As a mac and cheese lover, I was excited to try theirs. The flavor was good, but it was overly salty, so we couldn’t eat much. I noticed at the table next to us, one person order mac & cheese as both side choices, and didn’t eat them. Hopefully it was just an off night. Otherwise, delicious!!!

Wow, great discovery from our southern neighbors! The dish to share for 2 is great. Too tender beef brisket, incredible mashed potatoes and succulent applesauce!$100 Cad for 2 with drinks included.
