Delicious bbq-style, with larger menu than the brewery out back. This is a very popular spot and there is often a wait so try to go a little early or a little late and you should be able to get in.

Great pizza and nice bar. If you don’t feel like eating in our favorite move is to head out back and grab slices to take home. Pop them in the oven on a baking sheet at 450 for 5 minutes and they’re perfect!

The Hen is one of my favorite restaurants in Vermont and yes, it is worth the hype. You can try and roll the dice with a last minute reservation but if you know you want to go advanced reservations are highly recommended.

Grocery/Beverages
It’s the smaller of the two grocery stores but where we do all our shopping due to their broader offering of local products. It’s also nice when you forget something on the other side of the grocery store and you don’t have to walk a mile to go back and get it – haha!!
