Bacon Egg & Cheese on biscuit
Davis R.

Been coming here most Tuesdays since they moved here from Stanley's store. Best breakfast biscuits in the business hands down, would definitely recommend.

We stopped in here for a quick bite. It was pretty busy. It seems like many of the customers were regulars. I had a club sandwich and fries which were delicious. Very casual atmosphere.

I've been here many times. Dave is unique. Seems to remember folks and has a good time calling out to customers from the kitchen area. I often go for breakfast. I wish some things like the tots and the fries (for lunch) were a larger portion for what you pay. They specifically count out the number of tots and fries I believe and have them ready to be cooked on order. I think those portions are small for the money. The food is very good. Is it a little more $$ than if you went to say Short Pump? Maybe, but then I'd be driving back/forth. Like any business like this, he's had issues retaining staff. Sometimes I get very friendly service, other times a little more less polished. The quality of the food is what brings you back. I like the breakfast options.

Phenomenal phood at Dave & Phriends! Not that they are phishing for compliments, but they will be getting plenty of accolades with their phabulous menu! I've been there a phew times now, and have been pleasantly pleased each time! We ordered a delish burger and it was grilled to perfection. Next time I chose the fluffy breakfast biscuit with crispy bacon, egg and cheese which was just as satisfying! I would prefer some stronger "paper plates", the ones they serve their grub on are quite phlimsy and my meal spilled on the table. Just a suggestion ;-) I'm really glad this cozy spot has stayed afloat during the pandemic... it has made it a year since moving from Stanley's Store, a notable milestone! There's a handful of tables inside, and several others outside which is perfect for dining in warm weather! The restaurant and the restrooms are tidy and there's a self serve beverage station. There's also a deli case with cold cuts, cheeses, some prepared phoods, and some baked goods at the counter! For this type of eatery, it checks all the boxes, good prices, nice, fast service, friendly atmosphere, tidy and most of all yummy phood! This cool spot in Montpelier has a neighborhood feel and it has a strong community support! Whenever I'm in the area, I know I'll phind some good eats at phriends! (By the way, it's name pays homage to the owners fav band Phish!)

1egg,1 sausage patty, 2 silver dollar pancakes, 2 /8 oz coffees and 2 orders of tots!

I basically got a happy meal with an extra drink and tots for $17.xx 1 egg, 1 sausage patty, 2 silver dollar pancakes, 2/ 8 oz coffees, 2/ tots.

Dave's amazing "all the way" cheeseburger.

Best.Cheeseburger.Ever. Well... at least in a very long time. After learning today was my first visit, they happily explained their menu and highlighted customer favorites. Burgers are popular and I found out why. Amazing! Cooked perfectly to my requested "medium" temperature the loaded cheeseburger exceeded all expectations. I brought my to-go order home where my kids helped me finish it. They're already asking me to take them to Dave & Phriends. Great lunch stop! Next visit I'll try the Philly Cheesesteak.

Two large fries and a  fountain drink
Heather E.

I can't believe I just paid $13.24 for two large fries (same box) and a 32 oz fountain Pepsi. Yikes. I know inflation is high but dang that's a lot.

Spacious patio area with clean tables and lots of seating.
Rassol A.

I was pleasantly surprised when I found this little diner. Actually, it is spacious. Plenty of seating inside and out. The space is updated, yet comfy. Feels like you're at home. And the food definitely has a home-cooked vibe. I went for pancakes and cheesy eggs, with a mocha frappe (Starbucks). The menu was very straightforward and the cashier is helpful with suggestions. They do have a soda fountain as well as many choices for bottled drinks. They also have a nice little tea and coffee station. Everything is very neat and well organized. I love coming into a space where it's very clear that the staff takes pride in the business and how it's presented. What more can you ask for? There is plenty of parking. My meal was delicious, simple and extremely quick. The prices are reasonable. The restaurant is very clean, neat and inviting and the service is friendly. Most of the tables are for four people, so it would be easy to grab lunch with friends. Will probably visit again tomorrow while I'm in the area.

medium well cheeseburger was way undercooked and the cheese fries were like nothing I've ever seen

What an incredible place! Admittedly, the line was really long...but it was Mother's Day, so that…read moreis to be expected. Sitting at the bar, we were served immediately and were able to order food. If you are lucky enough, you will get to meet local legend, musicIan Jimmy Catlett, where you can even enjoy a drink from the menu "What Jimmy Drinks". Luke was a very attentive bartender, server and greeter. With good insight into what is what on the menu and behind the bar. We even got to meet Sara Beth herself (sorry Sarah if I used the wrong one) the SB behind the name! If you don't lead with "Glitter on the Mattress" you are missing out! The atmosphere was welcoming, inviting and full of nostalgic decor.

This spot was exactly my vibe - vibey, colorful, dive bar like with friendly staff and great food…read more Came in at 9:45AM on a Saturday and got one of the last spots in the place, at the bar. The bartender Luke was on his game and got me water and coffee quickly there after. The place was busy but everything seemed to work like a well oiled machine. The house coffee is solid and they did have a cold coffee option. The spicy bloody mary with the bacon was one of my favorites - definitely a more homemade vibe which was what I prefer. I also got their current jello shot (lemon and lavender) which was refreshing and big for $3. The menu had a bunch of items that caught my eye - breakfast burrito, pancake stacks, eggs benedict, etc. I went with the breakfast burrito with a side of sweet potato has. The burrito was great - filling but not super large, though I would have loved a tiny bit more jalapenos personally. Even without a meat, it was tasty and well balanced, especially with the side sriracha sour cream. I definitely need to come back to try the chicken salad or grilled cheese or some pancakes because everything looked fantastic. Service was quick, food was great, prices were solid. They have outdoor seating, bar seating, and friendly folks working. I'll definitely be back.
