This was my brother and I's favorite mean while in Vermont…read more The only mistake we made was not planning ahead and making a reservation because they fill up quick. Upon arrival, the hostess said they did not have any tables or reservations. She was super accommodating and was able to move some things around. We had to wait about 30 minutes but we were patient since she was willing to work with us and we really wanted to eat here! The server was fantastic and provided water and bread. My brother had a lemonade. We started with an order of calamari. I then had the chicken parm while my brother had the ribs. He swears it was the best he ever had. I got a piece of carrot cake to go and ate it when I got back to our hotel. Everything was fresh and delicious. We even got a surprise as a train passed and shook the whole dining room. It was a great experience overall!

We didn't have a reservation and the wait was going to be 90 minutes long... Luckily we were able to find seats in the bar! Bartender Marty was great and got our orders in right away. We were happy to listened to him that the half portion is a good size for 1 person. Between the 4 of us, we ordered steamed mussels, half speghetti and meatballs, half chicken ala vodka, and grilled salmon. Before dinner, we were served with warm bread with maple butter - that was sooo good. All the dishes were solid, but our fav was the homemade strawberry apple crisp. They hit it out of the park, delicious!! Even with the half orders, we still had leftovers of the speghetti to take home. Reasonably priced, you won't be disappointed.

The worst thing about Skunk Hollow is how the bill is padded…read more They CHARGE TEN DOLLARS ($10 )for a small basket of BREAD!!! Next , they will charge you for a glass of water. I like the place and the food is not great but it is usually at least okay. But the meal starts off with a bad taste when they charge for bread which is FREE almost everywhere else. And there's nothing special about the bread! Come on Skunk Hollow, you are treating customers like airlines do! Will you have to pay to use the toilets soon? How about charging for use of the forks and knives? You take advantage of the fact that people are most hungry when they arrive and more likely to give in to your unforgivable greed. I know others who don't want to go there just because of the obscene BREAD CHARGES! It's insulting

We had a lovely girls weekend in Brownsville, Vermont, topped off with a cozy reunion dinner at…read moreSkunk Hollow Tavern in nearby Hartland. Luckily, we didn't have reservations on a busy Friday night and scored a seat downstairs near the fireplace. Parking was a bit tight, but we managed to find a spot close by. The interior was beautifully decorated with string lights and barn wood beams, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere. Our waitress was very kind and clearly tried her best to accommodate the entire front of the restaurant on her own - for her first evening on the job, she did a great job. We both enjoyed the specials - salmon with broccoli and rice pilaf, plus I had a delicious beet salad. I enjoyed a refreshing raspberry mocktail, while my friend had THE RUBY SLIPPER--Absolut Ruby Red, elderflower liqueur, grapefruit juice, raspberry puree, and a sugar rim. We waited a bit for our check since I was in a rush to leave to take antihistamines; unfortunately, I discovered there was mustard in the salmon sauce, which I'm allergic to. I should have asked before ordering, but I only realized after my symptoms started following my last bite. Overall, it's a cozy, quaint place with limited parking, and reservations are recommended for a smoother experience.

I could not find our waiter and after watching 5 employees on their phones in the server station, I finally went and asked the hostess for help. The server never checked back with us. The pork sandwich special I ordered was very bland and I had to ask for more sauce because there wasn't hardly any on there. We ordered tiramisu, which came in a plastic to go container, was clearly old. It was soupy and soggy. It was extremely slow and service and food took too long. It was our first time there and probably the last. A hostess asked us on our way out if everything was okay, which we said, not really. She said "did you know our restaurant is for sale?" Very odd thing to say.

If you're just looking to wet your whistle, this is a nice enough, blue-collar spot. If you want solid food to go with it, though, you'll need to go somewhere else.
