Upon entering this establishment, one is met with a most agreeable, family-style atmosphere, fit for communal dining and civil discourse. Yet I must observe that the food took longer to make than I expected, a delay which tried my patience more than was desirable. In this interval, the root beer proved to be of uncommon quality and afforded some consolation. When the meal at last arrived, the chicken tenders were found to be exceptional, possessing a most commendable balance of crunch and satisfaction, and accompanied by a BBQ sauce of perfect density--neither excessive in thickness nor wanting in substance. Thus, while the experience bore notable merits, the undue length of preparation prevented it from attaining a more favorable distinction. Overall, it was aight read more

Calcutta’s - Chicken Tenders - New American Near Me - Ludlow, Vermont

So we came here 2 years ago as a family of 5 and had a great experience. Food was delicious. It was cozy and full of holiday decorations. We came this year as a party of 8 and man were we disappointed. We checked in for our reservation and the young woman seemed surprised to see us there. They squeezed us into a table of 6 (ended up fine). We ordered 4 cocktails and 4 sodas. We also ordered 2 appetizers (the tuna nachos and breaded cauliflower) they came out in less than 5 minutes. That's a problem imo. I ordered the chicken Milanese. Sooooooo much arugula salad but that was dressed nicely. The chicken was super crispy but it was easy to tell it had been fried earlier and reheated. It was so dry! The pasta was delicious. The steak tips were not marinated as advertised. Oh and the waitress never checked on us mid-meal. We would've definitely ordered some wine. So. A different experience than two years ago. What a bummer read more

30+ years coming to Okemo, and this was my first (and last) time at Calcutta's. Easily one THE WORST dining experiences I've had in town. Our glasses were empty for most of the meal, and our waitress was nowhere to be found for long stretches. When the food finally showed up, it was mediocre at best - but the service was the real disaster: slow, inattentive, and unacceptable from start to finish. AVOID. There are plenty of real Vermont restaurants nearby in town that reflect the hospitality and quality this village is known for. This place doesn't come close. read more

Cool fall vibe on the patio with a fire. Why is everyone inside? Late September and a cool night. The food is interesting and the outdoor vibe awesome. read more

Calcutta’s - Beef stew and Dragon bowl with salmon - New American Near Me - Ludlow, Vermont

Soooooooo glad we found this place! Being diehard skiers, we often dine on the mountain at a sit down restaurant as we try to avoid cafeterias and their haste and crowded atmosphere. We came to this resort during Okemo's closing weekend, and with the oatmeal snow, we got tired by lunch, so we decided to try the local restaurants. After a Yelp search, we decided on Calcutta's. The white tablecloth restaurant is casual but with a country club ambiance which gives it an air of dignity and class. The immaculate restrooms, the carefully set tables and of course, the excellent service makes this venue stand above much of the competition. After two glasses of a superb Sauvignon Blanc, we started the faire with their calamari which was absolutely crispy and tasty. I then had their Fish & Chips plate, with a beer battered monk fish, malt vinegar aioli, and fries. The fish was delicious and mouth-melting. My spouse had the Farmhouse Burger and it was succulent, with the caramelized onions adding a most amazing taste to the concoction. One highlight of the evening was the selection of local micro and nanobreweries. Each better than the other. Superb time. read more

What a find!!! If you have young kids, they have a bounce house on the upper level while waiting for your food! Genius. The restaurant has a nice view of the mountains. Our waitress was very nice and attentive. The food was delicious and there is something for everyone...seafood, meat eaters, vegans and vegetarians. read more

So there's a lot to like here. Great space. Good for groups. And they had music on a Thursday night of holiday week. The menu is straight up American and there's something for everyone. We loved the tuna nachos. Great wontons and good amount of tuna. A welcome mix from Mexican nachos. The meatball was full of lots of flavor; I loved the sauce with it. The sprouts were also good too. For main dishes, the haddock and salmon were good and kids loved the burgers and fries. The server also told us that the kitchen was busy yet our apps came out at a reasonable pace so all was good there. But all is not perfect. We did not order the meatball app and then we tried to return it we couldn't find a server to be found. So after 10 mins we just resigned ourselves to it. The salmon was supposed to come with stir fried mixed vegetables. It did not. It came with broccoli. Just a bit disappointing. And we got seated right next to the guitarist with a loud speaker on top of us. Far too close for a normal dinner. I couldn't hear half the night. That said, it was a holiday week and a bit of craziness is to be expected. I'd come back on a quieter night to enjoy it more. read more

It's a good place the tuna wantans are not that good and the ribeye might have been one of the worst ive had. It was beaten to death left flavorless. read more

I recently was in Ludlow and had the chance to have dinner here. First let me say the service was outstanding. Ryan noticed i was listening to the Met game he quickly put it on the TV for us. They went the extra mile to make sure that everything perfect. we started with the Cobb salad excellent and big enough to share. We then had the French Dip with caramelized onions terrific. When in Ludlow this is the place to eat. read more

Needing to pick up our new skis, we decided to meet up with our son and girlfriend and take them out for a nice meal. We didn't realize that on Sunday many restaurants are closed, and those that were open near the slopes at 4pm were naturally packed. We decided to give Calcutta's a try since it was a little away from the slopes. The parking lot was empty - not a good sign at that time. The restaurant is typical golf course atmosphere, simple and clean. The host was a pleasant young man, I wish he had been our server. The waitress didn't smile the whole time we were there. She appeared annoyed that we were not ready to order when she arrived with our drinks. After our meal arrived, she showed up once to refill our water and didn't see her again until we finished our meal. The place was not busy - two other tables of two people each. It felt that she believed that she was doing us a favor by serving us, very awkward. My son enjoyed his hamburger but just average, and his girlfriend found the Orecchieette flavorful but small amount. My husband had Ray's Reuben, especially given the $18 price, we were shocked to see that it was literally two slices of "thin sliced corned beef" throughout the sandwich. I had the Chicken Milanese which was one fried chicken breast with minimal flavor and a small amount of arugala salad on the side. Presentation was pretty but a good meal is based on the totality of the experience. They need to work on providing a welcoming friendly atmosphere, satisfying portions, and adding flavors that make your prices worth it. Head to DJ's or Killarney's instead. read more

The food is OK, not great, or even very good. But the view if you eat on the patio overlooking the golf course makes up for it. The service is friendly. read more

One of the absolute best restaurants in Ludlow. Four Square Hospitality, since acquiring the golf course, (renaming it Fox Run), and restaurant has transformed Calcutta's into a real destination restaurant in Ludlow. What used to be a typical golf course 19th hole and turned into one of the best at Okemo. I'll dare anyone not to love the Cauliflower appetizer...it's over the top awesome! Great decor as well. Fresh beer and creative menu. This is no typical golf course restaurant, far from it. Great food, service, and decor. Always had a great meal. We love it...you will too! read more

Came here last night after spending the day playing 18 holes. Got the $14 chips and guacamole to start for the table and the portion was horrendously small. Got a burger as a main meal which wasn't cooked to medium as asked but still had lots of flavor. Lastly, service was quite slow considering the small amount of people that were there. Overall, very overpriced for what you get. read more

Has a chicken Caesar salad. How hard is that to make? Well the chicken was undercooked and there was more croutons than lettuce. But the location is terrific especially if you just played golf and the interior is beautiful too. read more

The food ranges from good to extraordinary. Service is good, friendly though sometimes the staff is a tad over solicitous. The best spot for outside dining in the greater Ludlow area. read more

What a great find. Service was on point. Food was beautifully presented and arrived as ordered. Sea bass balsamic drizzle was a bit excessive. Coconut rice was delicious. We had tuna nachos. Delicious. It was sushi night all rolls were $15 even special rolls. Almost half price. Well worth it. Beef was abundant, enough for a lunch tomorrow. Well worth the price. Located on a golf course great views. read more

This golf clubhouse restaurant was solid, and I was surprised to see the low reviews. I can't say it was anything special, but the service was fine (especially by today's short staff standards), and my chicken sandwich and sweet potato fries were good. Prices were what I would expect, and the setting was nice. Would eat here again. read more

We found this place on a busy night during Massachusetts's school vacation. I wasn't really in the mood for Indian food, and luckily it's just the name. A big party of three families, plenty of kids and picky adults. Great beer list, lots of stuff on the menu, and wonderful service. It's now our go to place when we're at Okemo. read more

Recently went on a snowboarding trip to Okemo and got dinner here! There aren't too many places to eat very close to the mountain so they all fill up pretty quickly. My friends and I booked this weekend trip only a couple days in advance and didn't really have a chance to make dinner reservations. Our airbnb host recommended Calcutta's because it has great food and it seems like not too many people know about it. Four of us went at peak dinner time with no reservation and we didn't have to wait at all! The place itself was really nice and there were tvs all over showing different snowboarding and sporting events which we loved. The staff was really kind and attentive and the food was great. Highly recommend, especially if you're looking for a place last minute! read more

Food is great, service is friendly, ambiance is nice! Finally, a place in southern VT that knows how to do calamari and a fried chicken sandwich the right way. Love the waitresses and bartenders read more

Went for a Christmas Eve dinner which is why I gave the 5 stars. The entire wait / bus teams worked to keep up with the crowd and seatings. We felt they were attentive during the drink and courses. Special cocktail of spiked cider warmed the table. The tuna wonton tacos, seared scallops and the halibut were the top dishes. read more

Had a gathering of about 12 people for dinner out on patio, nice but unprepared waitress was the best part of experience. They were not busy at all, the wait for drink orders was ridiculous, they were out of half their specialty drinks. service super slow for ordering and for food arrival. i ordered the "steak" medium rare, what a joke, about 3 ounces of steak cut up into small bite sized strips. There was no way to cook it but well done. It was tough, and came with some luke warm fries. Thats it, $29! As it got darker there was no lighting on tables, no candles or anything. took over an hour after sitting down to get the food. What a shame. read more

Our takeout dinner from Calcutta's was delicious, if you're in the Ludlow area give them a try! Great food and nice staff. My favorites were the general tsos cauliflower, tuna wonton nachos and the maple mustard in the chicken basket appetizer was awesome. Generous portions too! read more

Delicious! Spacious! Great staff! Stunning scenery! Two of us had fish and chips. I wish I had taken a photo because I've never seen a bigger piece of fish in my life! It was perfectly cooked and spot on; Crispy on the outside, moist and flaky on the inside. The third in our party had the Fox Run Reuben and pronounced it moist, flavorful, and almost too big to take a bite. Almost!!! I took half my fish home and the Reuben lover did, as well. A hallmark of great fries is when they are still hot nearly 10 minutes after being served. They were crispy and the inside was soft and yummy. Calcutta's was a thoroughly pleasant surprise to me and I would come back on a heartbeat! read more

This restaurant was great. Not sure why some of the reviews are not great (perhaps reviews were for former ownership). Anyways, we went on a guys golf trip in September 2021 to Fox Run Golf Course, and it was amazing. Top 5 course I've played in the North East. After the round, we grabbed dinner at Calcutta's. Food was good. Pub style selection. Little pricy, but good. Inside was great and modern. TVs, sports memorabilia, and a band was setting up as we were leaving. We met the new owner of the golf course and restaurant, who introduced himself. A nice touch, as that hasn't happened to me in years. He asked about the meal, where we were from, the course. Will return. read more

This place was very disappointing. We had a 7:30 reservation for a party of 6 on Presidents' Day Monday. We were celebrating my daughter's 12th birthday and I noted that in the notes and also mentioned it to the young woman who seated us. Relevant later. The drinks were good and strong. I had a Raspberry Fizz and a John Daley. My friend had the Sandbagger. They were all excellent. Service was friendly but slow. Maybe they were understaffed? Didn't see a dedicated hostess or a busser so the servers had to do everything themselves. For appetizers we ordered the Buffalo/BBQ flavored wings, chips and guacamole, and the loaded kettle chips. I didn't have the wings but the ones who did said they were only ok. The loaded homemade kettle chips were good. The chips and guacamole were terrible. The chips were actually the same potato chips from the other dish which is unexpected but fine, but the guacamole was absolutely terrible. It was very runny and heavy on the veg. One person got the brown butter lobster pasta dish and rated it a 5 out of 10. The three girls with us had the macaroni and cheese and they liked it. I tried it and it was excellent. I had salmon. It was fresh and well cooked. I substituted garlic mash for the pilaf. The mashed potatoes were very bland. It was supposed to come with a seasonal veg, which they forgot. We asked about it and I got a dish of cold broccoli rabe and a limp carrot covered in oily pesto. We mentioned it and she took my husband's extra spinach off the tab. My husband had the tuna and said it was only ok. Anyway, I had mentioned the birthday thing twice because I was expecting them to bring out a dessert with a candle on it or something but we got nothing. And before you jump all over me, I was NOT expecting said dessert to be free. The service was friendly but it took our food forever to come out. I am an avid cook and eat out a lot as well. I think the issue here isn't lack of talent but rather being given subpar product to work with. Also, the prices are high for the quality you are getting. From other reviews I've read, it seems like the management here needs to step it up. Will not be back. read more

The worst experience we have had in a restaurant for a long time. We went a couple weeks ago on a Saturday night to celebrate my graduation from my MBA program with 6 people. Our reservation was for 7pm and we quickly ordered our drinks after being seated and our drinks did not come out until 7:45 when she finally came back and took our appetizer order. We ordered our food at the same time to try an speed things along. The first appetizer came out several minutes before the other one and we had to remind them to send the second one. 3/6 of our dinners were wrong either - 2 with the wrong sides and 1 with toppings on the sandwich that were asked for without. The waitress never apologized for the delay or incorrect items. It is not like the restaurant was exceptionally slow either, larger parties around us were being served much faster. At the end we finally tracked down the waitress, who was behind the bar socializing with employees, to ask her for the check. SHE ROLLED HER EYES AT US and said I'll be right over. The food was at least pretty good but the service and waitress were AWFUL and RUDE! My mom called twice now to express our frustrations with no response from the restaurant. read more

Calcuttas used to be good with everything, from the food to the overall vibe of the place. But ever since the place when under new management it hasn't been doing that good. Tonight I went there with my family on a not empty, but not packed out night and we ended up waiting about 2 hours for our food to come, overall I am not happy with the transition from Fox Run (the old management) to Four Square (the new management). read more

One of the best places to eat and drink in Ludlow. Friendly staff and a warm inviting atmosphere.

Great views of the 18th hole if you're eating out on the patio. Upgraded menu, bar and TVs all over the inside of the restaurant to enjoy sports. Lawn games also set up outside. This is a major improvement by the new ownership after buying the course from Vail Resorts. The short ribs and ahi tuna were both great. The servers were also fun and great with our party of 8. Glad to see the improvements Fox Run is making. read more

Skip this one. Ordered the salmon - overcooked, tinny, inedible. Kids had butter pasta, which was kind of them to make but they were served a heap of noodles with blocks of cold butter on top. To make things right, I asked for chicken on the salad instead- it was fine. The server later told me he tasted my salmon after I removed it from the salad (!!!) and told me it was just overcooked. Should have gotten chinese take out! read more

Been there 3 times for lunch. Keep hoping to find something good. Had chopped Italian salad which was horrible. Cloyingly sweet dressing on brownish looking vegetables. Had guacamole another time-so bland. Also tried the birdie chicken sandwich which was tasteless. Prices are super high. Service was excellent. Too bad they don't put more effort into the food. The location is beautiful, just go for a drink and leave it at that. read more

Very slow service and we noticed that the portions have gotten smaller since we were last there over the winter. Very expensive for the portions, especially when you are ordering salads. Don't really understand their need to add a 3% wellness charge, but after our last experience we won't be back. read more

First time coming here but seriously some of the best food I've EVER HAD. Service was amazing and the drinks were fabulous. Definitely will be coming here next time I visit Okemo. I recommend the half chicken and mac and cheese. 100% worth a try! read more

We had a wedding rehearsal lunch for 36 people here recently. While the venue itself is lovely and the food good, the management is terrible. It was clear to us upon arrival that the restaurant/owner was not prepared for us at all despite the fact that we had discussed details with his staff 6 weeks prior and confirmed all details less than 2 weeks prior. A private patio lunch became "wait for us to move these 4 tables of diners to one end of the patio and you can have the rest of the space" Almost immediately after being seated, the very dark sky opened up with pouring rain and winds. Rather than directing us to the promised rain venue upstairs, we were hurried into the main dining room to find any available tables intermingled with other diners. The small wait / bar staff did their best to take orders but it was like trying to herd cats as they didn't know who was with our party and who wasn't. We were embarrassed, disappointed and angry that an event so important to our families ( the wedding celebration having been postponed 3 times already due to Covid) became a chaotic fiasco. We felt so badly for other diners, that in addition to our own bill, we paid 2 other tables bills to apologize for the inconvenience caused them. I called the owner 3 days later to discuss the debacle. He was dismissive, accusatory and for the most part, denied responsibility for anything. He told me he would get back to me regarding what type of compensation he might allow. It is over a week since I spoke with him and I'm still waiting for that call back. read more

We arrived to dinner and sat at a table. A waitress never showed up for 15 minutes. One finally showed up and took drink orders. The drinks didn't come for 25 minutes after that. While waiting for our food there was a mouse outside on the patio looking for food. We went inside because it was cold and the waitress was not thrilled. The food finally came after 1 hour and got 2/4 orders wrong. The waitress denied it when we said she got it wrong. The food wasn't great. Wouldn't recommend. read more

I've been here a few times, food and drinks are great but service is a bit slow which is expected with the lingering effects of the pandemic. Last night it became obvious what the issue is, the managers, seems like there were 3 on last night ~7pm. They either have no restaurant experience or are just lazy. Walking around joking with customers rather than helping out the bartender and servers who were busting their butts working. 5 stars to the servers and bartender. Get a manager(s) who will work as hard as the rest of the staff cause it's a great place to hang in Ludlow. read more

After not being able to reach any management other than the horribly rude "Sherry" who we talked to that night we had dinner last week, we decided to right a review! Sherry thought over cooked and cold food was acceptable after it took our food 90 mins from the time we ordered to reach our table. Our wasn't trained and had know one to help her. She was nice and polite but you could tell had little experience in restaurants but with a manager like that not sure your going to get much from your employees. Sherry was very rude and condescending and after being served a horrible meal that seemed to sit in the ktichen for at least 30 mins after it was over cooked, their was no apology, no nothing and our bill was over $200 for 4 of us. NEVER AGAIN! read more
