Gosh, I really wanted to like this place and was excited to check it out after a morning on the mountain, but I was utterly disappointed. I have worked in restaurants and now I sometimes write about them and so the fact that they refuse to make a regular Manhattan—no, you must order the special $35 reserve Manhattan—is really something else that I have not seen. To be clear: I am not opposed to spending $35 on an excellent cocktail though the drinks that actually merit that price are few and far between. You are a whiskey bar — you should be able to make a classic $20 Manhattan. Oh, and maybe don’t serve expensive whiskey in plastic cups!! This place is a total ripoff. Food was just ok. We ordered The Wurst, one of the raclette specialty dishes, and it was tasty if a bit stingy with ingredients. To be expected I suppose from a place that prefers to gouge people on drinks, and I say this as a New Yorker who is used to overpaying for everything (average beer price: $13. You are much better off going to Alchemist where you can get a pint of the most delicious beer for $6). TLDR: skip this place.

We started with the Raclette nachos.... Amazing! Even better than our main dishes. Hot cider with cinnamon on a cold day was perfect. Overall very good place to have lunch. The staff are friendly and attentive.

Came after a day skiing at Stowe, and was extremely disappointed. Parking onsite is paid which is ridiculous for how much Stowe costs to begin with. The easy access gondola was supposed to be running and was not. We found parking onsite and everything was close by 430pm. Whistlepig was closed at 5pm for a private event. Yet there was not a single soul in site and the building was mostly dark. All of the onsite restaurants were either empty, in the process of closing, or not taking any new tables. The ice rink unfortunately was melted so ice skating was out of the question. There were a few seated areas around the fire pits that weren't surround by children but nothing for that apres ski aesthetic. Stowe as always is a beautiful mountain and community. Beyond disappointed that there was nothing open after 430pm when skiing ends at 4 and everything is supposed to remain open until 6-7pm.

Absolutely loved this place, 10/10! Went there on Saturday and I booked my reservation in advance so that the table would be ready since they get pretty busy. The food is amazing, we got the humus platter and a steak that comes with the cheese that’s being baked in the fire place. They gave us free whiskey shots at 3 pm on a Saturday, as well as free desert!!!! I was shocked.. I’ve never gotten anything free from a restaurant before so that was new to me lol. The service is amazing, they also sat us down next to the fire stove so I couldn’t get my eyes away from it. Best experience ? Loved it, would come again !!!!

The raclette cheese they use here is the real winner. They put it on everything. There is a fireplace in the middle that they use for heating up the cheese and food. It keeps the place warm and smelling delicious. Service was good, nothing extraordinary. Drink options are limited. They only have beer and whiskey. A little pricey but that is expected at a ski lodge. Overall great place to hang after you finish a few runs.

Whistlepig is stellar when it comes toin between food such as quick drinks, apps, and dessert. The bartender, who looked like Tom Brady performed swimmingly at his job. He was extremely friendly. The Kaiserschmarn was absolutely divine. “Best dessert i’ve ever had” -Christopher LaBrant, CT. “Heaven on a plate” -Amy LaBrant, CT. You’re transported to a bavarian log house with crackling fire and homey vibes. Wunderbar!Vegetarian options: Mac n Cheese, dessert, drinks

We love visiting here on our annual trip. The raclette is delicious! The nachos and pretzels are also great.

Awesome place but lacking a bit of hospitality and limited menu. It’s good but not great. I would definitely go again but only if I was craving some Raclette. Not to mention an old fashioned is $26 so if you’re trying to save money avoid this place at all costs.
Worst service we’ve had in Stowe since we’ve been here. (A year). Food was good but nobody was served at the same time (5 people). First person was served and next one came 40 mins later. This was the last meal we have with our guests before they head home and it was a disappointment as far as the service goes. Probably won’t be back which is kind of sad. The manager did come and apologize and made some amends which did help. Thank you for that! Upped my review because of that.
Favorite place at the resort.
