Really good smash burgers (double patty). We ordered the Plain Jane with Cabot Cheddar cheese. We had the chips with one and the sweet potato fries with the other. They are cooked medium, which was a little pinker than I like, but my husband loves it. And he loved his IPA as suggested by the bartender. I had a glass of Josh Cabernet. Loved the vibe, the music, the energy and the ambiance.

We were traveling with our puppy so we opted to sit on the patio. It was a cold day and there are no heaters or warmers outside. The server came on as soon as we were seated, but we didn't get the time to look through the menu. We asked the server to come back again. 40 mins passed and there was no one who came to check on us. After 45mins, I went in and the server realized she had completely forgotten about us. We sat in the cold waiting for our meals. After our order was placed, it took another 20mins for our food to arrive. Food was good, but sitting for so long in the cold was a downer. Service wasn't the best, but food was. The upside is that the server took one meal off the check. Not a great experience when traveling with the pup.

We walked up to the Backyard from downtown Stowe to this spot and we're so happy we did! A good, honest burger was just what we needed. The waitress was friendly and very attentive. I do think it's ridiculous to charge an extra $4 for tots over kettle chips. Burgers were juicy and delish - 5 stars! We liked the chill vibe the Backyard has to offer and the accessibility from Main St.

Fried Brussels sprouts tacos. Excellent!!!

Friendly service, excellent food, casual and laid back vibe. We loved our visit here so much that we did back-to-back meals here. Sat out on the patio with our dog, and water for all three of us was brought over immediately. The first meal we had was the fried Brussels sprouts tacos and tater tots. They were SO GOOD!! The second meal we had was the chicken tacos (i added yard sauce to mine) and we both loved every last bite. Food came out quickly, and service on both visits was excellent. Will definitely be back!

Smash burger and tots

Just ate here for lunch. Smash burger was delicious and the tots came in a cute basket. Outdoor seating was nice and our waiter Adam was great! Highly recommend this place for the great atmosphere and food.

Tatchos! Tots are crispy, great flavors

Stopped here while I'm vacation from California. Great food, highly recommend the tatchos! Smash burgers were delicious and I had the leaf peeper cocktail which at smooth I had 2! Both indoor and outdoor sesting areas are inviting, but it was beautiful day so we opted to sit outside for the fresh air. Service was mediocre, food takes a little bit to come to the table, not that's not a bad thing. My friends and I really enjoyed this place.

Chipotle chicken tacos

My mom and grandma and I went here for dinner while we stayed in Stowe. I got the chipotle chicken tacos and they were SO DELICIOUS. The patio area is also so beautiful and comfortable! They have a lot of options!

Surprisingly good sports bar with a decent food menu, good local beers on draft and friendly service. It's not directly on the main road, but behind Ranch Camp, so pay attention to GPS directions and you'll find it. The. Tater tots were awesome, and the nacho appetizer was a good choice. Food arrived piping hot and, and beer perfectly chilled - ideal respite from the cold weather outside. Menu is a bit limited, but well worth a stop.

Swiss mushroom burger

See all

Burgers are always solid, can snag tables regularly. Would love if we got some football on instead of skiing, but still a great place to be.

Tacos are my favorite food group so imagine my absolute delight when I just got into town for the…read morefirst time and discovered this cute taco shop practically across the street from my Airbnb! Made my way here for dinner one night. They have a super cute patio but I went inside to sit at the bar. Bartender was great and the menu looked amazing! I adore elote and that was a special on the menu so I got that and the special prickly pear margarita. I then followed with tacos - the al pastor (which they said they sold out of all the time) and the special sweet potato/jalapeno taco, and a paloma. This has got to be the fastest service I have ever experienced lol! Legit 2 min after placing my elote order, it came right out. And the same thing happened with my tacos so I'm glad I spaced them and didn't order everything at once haha. The elote was delicious as were the tacos! I can see why the al pastor sells out all the time, and the sweet potato/jalapeno was sooooooo good and had the perfect amount of spice with the jalapenos! Both my drinks were tasty and refreshing! If I lived in Burlington close to this spot, I would probably eat here several times per week. Awesome neighborhood joint for good eats and drinks!

Amazing taco place! The margarita was really great as well. We walked in and got a seat right at…read morethe bar. They have a large deck area as well, which would be great in the summer. I got a couple different tacos and they were both really good. My favorite was the special brisket one. Def worth a stop!
