    Petite Filet Mignon with au jus and veggies with potatoes

    Really a find- food is absolutely delicious and service is excellent! The beef filet mignon was tender and so flavorful. The hanger steak was also so good as were the fries!

    Bistro 42 opened their full restaurant on October 15th. We started with French Onion soup and beautiful fresh bread with herbed butter. A chef's petit appetizer surprise of dual taste of beef on crouton and anchovy treat. The beef short rib was so tender with bordelaise sauce, asparagus and fingerling potatoes. The beef bourguignon was just right with pasta. The finishing touch was creme brûlée. A new gem in town. The service was great, friendly and attentive. They have implemented all the Covid protection protocols. The interior has a cozy French bistro ambience. We plan on returning soon.

    Vegetable omelette with asparagus, broccoli, carrots, multiple cheeses, onion, delicious salad as well.

    Brunch today with my friend, really delicious omelettes, and Nice Ambiance, unhurried. After brunch, we played scrabble on a sunny table along the side. Nice fresh flowers, too. Good service and as always, fabulous food. Thank you, Dom!!

    What a breath of fresh air in HF. Bistro42 was set to open in March and then the Gov closed everything down. They run a food truck for great sandwiches at lunch and now open for dinner in house. Had a very good meal of Ceasar salad, onion soup, cheese board with fruit and crackers and the braised short rib! All were very well done and the service was good as well. Limits on the number of people they can seat safely may require a reservation. Be safe and call ahead.

    I've been lucky enough to enjoy Chef Dom's work for many years, and all congrats go to him for opening his own space. He has a perfect spot in Hoosick Falls, with a welcoming window front and cute bar area that will be perfect for sports viewing (at a French restaurant?!). My wife and I enjoyed three beautiful courses, beginning with the escargot and the legendary steak tartar, through the wild mushroom risotto and the chicken confit, and ending with the creme brulee. Each dish was immaculately prepared and presented, with unique and individual flavors coming through. Chef Dom has done it again, and I can't wait to get back through NY again just to sample what is next on his menu.

    This food truck is currently only available on weekends, and then only when they don't have a…read morecatering commitment. So, you might want to check them out on Facebook before attempting to seek them out off Exit 8 of the Northway. Are they worth seeking out or stopping by if you are in the neighborhood? First of all, their menu is limited, sandwiches (chicken, burger, hot dog, sausage, egg), tenders, fries, rings, mozzarella sticks, hash browns, poppers and drinks. Maybe it'll expand in the future. My first experience was trying the Sausage, Pepper & Onion sandwich ($9) and Onion Rings ($4). Keeping in mind that I've generally made at least one annual excursion to a competitor about 2,000 feet East on this road to satisfy my sausage sandwich and onion ring craving for the last 25 years, I was curious if anything here would come close to satisfying. While we waited for our order, we spoke with the wife of the husband-and-wife team owning the food truck. Very personable people. Our food was obviously made-to-order since we waited at least 10 minutes for the carryout container to be handed to us. Opening the container at home was the first surprise. Expecting to see a sausage patty on a hamburger bun, instead we saw a long link of sausage on a section of a sub-style roll - think county-fair sausage peppers and onions. This sausage was delicious. It had good texture, flavor, and spiciness. Peppers were a combination of chopped red, yellow, and green, and the onions did not overpower. The roll was fresh and soft. This may be my new preference. The onion rings were a surprise also. The coating was thick, very crunchy, and did not fall off the onion. The other standout was that there was no oily mess. Even as they later cooled, they did not have that lingering taste of oil. There is no question that I'll be back to try something else. Parking is available behind the food truck. Pull in the driveway alongside the food truck.

    Poor service, didn't get our entire meal that we paid for and was told there was nothing they could…read morefor us. Food was soggy.

The gentleman at the window was nice and helpful. We went with their brisket platter- decent portion with full flavor and perfectly prepared. Cornbread and beans were great. We also did a side of Mac n cheese; it was decent, but lacked flavor. Overall, great place with a local, true bbq vibe and we will definitely return!

    The Smokehouse Barbecue Food Cart & The NOMAD Chefs Food Cart…read more Wilmington, Vermont Around the time that I moved to Vermont , I started hearing about An Incredible Team Of Chefs Called "The Nomad Chefs"Founded By The Great Brandon Ruble. They were Featured Each Week At That Time At The Wilmington Inn For Their "Wicked Wednesday" Events & They Always Got Rave Reviews. Each Week Mr Ruble Would Change Up The Menu With New & Delicious surprises with flavors and tastes from all Around the globe. And each Time I Went, The Food Was perfection. It wasn't long before Brandon Ruble Was The Talk Of The Town and Over the last two years or so, he went on to purchase a food truck for "Nomad Chefs" & Everybody Loves It. And Not long ago, I heard he had a brand new Food Truck & Started A Whole New Brand Called "The Smokehouse". They are currently at the River Valley Market & I'd been dying to go but kept missing it for one reason or the other, but last week I got there at just the right time. I even Got A Chance To Meet Brandon Ruble himself & He Was Just As Sweet As He Is Talented. It's easy to see how hard he works & How Well. A true master at what he does. A seasoned professional. Dan Took my order and he was awesome. Funny, sweet & Very Accommodating. His sweet tea was out of this world & Some of the best I've ever had. I Ordered the Brisket with Sides Of Coleslaw, Baked Beans & Homemade Cornbread. I Was Hesitant to order the brisket as my recent experiences doing so at other establishments didn't turn out so well. It takes a special touch to get brisket just right and not over or under cooked. Usually people miss the mark one way or the other. But The minute I opened my to-go box, I knew this wouldn't be the same. You could literally see how juicy it was & The meat was so tender it was almost falling apart In Your Mouth. To say that it was perfection would be an understatement. And the Flavor? Sooooo delectable. Rich & Full Bodied. Just perfect. Holy smokes was that delicious ( No Pun Intended). This was hands down The best brisket I've Ever had in all my life and I'm no spring chicken. Theres such a huge difference in the taste when its made by someone who is a true artist. Someone who puts thought, and time into all of the dishes that he adds to his menu. Someone like Brandon Ruble. I would highly recommend this food cart 100%. It Is Without A Doubt, The Best & Most Delicious Meal You'll Find & even The Fairest Price. Not Only Will You Love It, You Will Leave Full And Happy & You'll want to come back & So will your whole family. As You Eat Or Wait For Your To-Go Order, You'll Smell The Two Extra Large Smokers Going The Whole Time. The menu has something For Everyone, including Chicken Wings, Burgers, Fries & Even Hush Puppies. The main attraction though is the smoked platter. You choose your meat , IE Brisket, Pork Etc & pick two side dishes. No matter what you pick it'll be delicious. You will be very happy. I guarantee it. I went back a few days later with a friend of mine who's usually the hardest critic and doesn't like to to try new things. He sticks with the places he knows and goes there habitually. But even he went crazy over "The Smokehouse". His quote exactly was "This Is Better Than Any Place In Town". And THAT is the hugest statement of all in a place like vermont where there's delicious food everywhere. I highly recommend "The Smokehouse" Food Cart, In Addition to The "Nomad Chef's" Food Cart & Or Anything Else Brandon Ruble Puts his hands on. This man is absolutely gifted. The meal that I Had At "The Smokehouse" is only one of the many incredible creations that we've all come to know & expect from Mr Ruble When He Puts His name on Something. As far as I can see, there's nothing this man can't do. 5 stars
