We've been to Fat Crow in Newfane several times and always enjoy the food. The menu has a great selection, and on this visit we loved the wood-fired pizza--the crust had a nice char and great flavor. The warm pretzels with dipping sauces were also a hit. In the past, we've had the fish tacos and really enjoyed those as well. The restaurant has a fun Vermont atmosphere, and the bar area and visible pizza oven add a lot to the ambience. My only drawback is the seating. Much of it consists of long, shared tables, which isn't our favorite setup and can make the dining experience feel a little less comfortable or intimate. That said, the food keeps us coming back. There aren't a lot of tables, so I'd definitely recommend making a reservation, especially at a busy time. Great spot for pizza, drinks, and casual food when you're in the Newfane area! read more

Still an awesome place! They make a lot of what they serve from scratch; including the pretzel dipping sauces. The pretzels were cooked perfectly! My wife's salad was really good. The pizza was really good as well. Take a look at the pics; they speak for themselves. This is a great local spot with a cool vibe and some really awesome motorcycles on display. Don't hesitate to sit at the bar as you'll have an amazing view of the wood fired oven and can chat with one of the chefs. The menu is expansive and worth exploring! We've been here a number of times and the food has always delivered along with great service. read more

Good selection, Good food, fair prices, with friendly and efficient servers. We love that they take reservations; the place is almost always full so it is not likely one can wait at the bar! The Crow has a lively atmosphere, so conversation can be challenging. A recent visit after ownership changed had us ordering fish tacos, a strip steak, and ribs. Presentation was very good. Tacos and Steak were great. The ribs were not as good as at prior visits - the server could see that they were not "fall off the bone" and comped us on that entree. We will definitely go back and wish they were open on Sunday night! read more

I passed this place a lot on my way to Stratton Ski Resort, but this was the first time I've had the chance to stop in, and it was a really good find! The staff was very friendly, and I had a very enjoyable night. Sat at the bar, in front of the tap and next to the motorcycle decor. Started off with a flight of beers, before deciding on a Valley beer, which matched my taste. Had the bass special, which was quite flavorful and cooked almost to perfection. Had the crème brûlée cheesecake, which was delicious. I enjoyed all of their food (and beer), so I will definitely stop here again! read more

From the moment we walked in the service was great. It took a few minutes before being seated at the bar top. Atmosphere and ambiance was perfect setting for the bar. Food was amazing and the pizza was pretty close to home. Definitely worth it. read more

Birthday celebration - and we ordered way too much food - everything and I mean EVERYTHING was delicious.... cocktails, poutine, brussel sprouts, wings, mac & cheese, followed by crow burger, ribs, mussels, tacos, scallops - salads (huge) I'm sure I'm missing items... we didn't order pizza even though I wanted to, the table besides us ordered fish & chips - it reminded me of battered fish I'd get back home in England - giant fillet and extra crispy!!! The chocolate Godiva cheesecake ended the meal and put us in a food coma!!! I can't wait to come back!! No wonder it was so busy and did so much take out - we understand why!!! read more

Great wood fired pizzas, good selection of beers on draft and wines by the glass. Burgers and bbq are good.

Finally visited this Newfane, VT restaurant on a Friday night after driving by it for the past 10 (?) years. Amazing pizza, cocktails, beer and other goodies in a barn-ish setting. Reservation is absolutely required (at least for peak times). I only wish it was open on Sundays so I could eat there in my way back to Boston after a weekend of skiing at Stratton. read more

What a fun place to go. I would recommend making reservations. We took a chance because it seemed like it wouldn't have been busy that time of year. Beginning of October, we were wrong. There were three of us and the wait was one hour. We indicated that it was too long of a wait we would come back. We were almost to our car. The young lady came out and said, would you mind sitting at the bar we said no? There were three seats with a great view of them making pizza in a copper pizza oven. The bartender was very friendly. It ended up being a fun night. Great food. Definitely will return next year when we vacation in Newfane Vermont. With reservations read more

Fat Crow - Bar area and buffalo cauliflower appetizer which we enjoyed - Pizza Near Me - Newfane, Vermont

On a drizzly day, we drove 20 minutes to come here just for the food. And boy the Fat Crow did not disappoint. Here's what we ordered: Steamed Little Neck Clams, Margarita Pizza, Lobster Bisque, New England Clam Chowder, and the Squirrel Burger (Vegan). We were so hungry, forgot to take pictures of our food so I only have a picture of the New England clam chowder. We did not make reservations ahead of time and so we could only order take out and sit outside on the picnic tables under the tents. You get a pager that buzzed when your food is ready. The place looks bigger on the outside than in. The oven in the kitchen is impressive. I would recommend to call ahead and make a reservation. read more

I wish I could give the fat crow 5 million stars. The new haven style pizza is unbeatable and the owner and staff are so kind. Every time I come to visit, whether it's been months or weeks, I feel like a regular. Make sure to make a reservation if you plan on going - the place tends to be packed for good reason! read more

This is the best restaurant in Newfane. I know that's not saying much since Newfane is such a dinky little hamlet, but this restaurant is damn good! Our waitress was excellent. The food was quite tasty, generous, and the drinks from the bar were just right. But on top of that all, they play great music too - not crappy so-called "classic rock" songs that you've heard 400 too many times anyway! It's too bad that this restaurant can't be open seven days a week for both lunch and dinner. read more

Love this place and glad to have it in the valley. The staff is welcoming and friendly. Well-run with new options on the specials menu each night. They offer fresh seafood dishes and are patient with special requests! read more

i eat at the Fat Crow pretty regularly for the 7 months each year, I live here. i have always been pleased with whatever food I order. Their signature cocktails are simply perfection! whether it is pizzas, steak, eggplant fries, crab cakes, lobster roll, fish and chips or a hamburger........i am always always always pleased. i send a lot of our guests there too and no matter where they are from, they are this bistro as a gem. read more

Great pizza, friendly staff, a good vibe. I would definitely recommend it. Make sure to call for reservations

My family had a delightful meal at the Fat Crow, a gastropub with an excellent tap list in Southern Vermont. The aesthetics of the space are industrial garage but the service is very homey. They specialize in BBQ and do a great job. In Southern VT this is one of the best options and worth a bit of a drive. We will be back when we are in the area. read more

We were at Mount Snow for the weekend and someone recommended this place. They said make sure you make a reservation. I called on a Wednesday to make a res for that Saturday and they were almost all booked! Definitely make a reservation in advance asap. Cool ambiance and decor. We couldn't decide what we wanted so we shared a bunch of stuff knowing we would take food home. We tried the cod fish tacos, mussels, egg plant fries, and a spicy oil cheese pizza. Everything was so delicious. Im not usually a fish taco fan but they were actually my favorite. Perfectly fresh and crispy but not greasy. Wish we could have tried everything! I also want to say that the staff was very friendly. There was a gentleman in a black chef coat who i thought might have been the owner was even helping the servers clean tables to get everyone seated in timely manner. Which really shows you how he cares for his business and the experience people have at his restaurant. 10/10 recommend if your in the area. read more

Fat Crow - Bacon at the Fat Crow in Newfane, VT - Pizza Near Me - Newfane, Vermont

Very good food, friendly responsive staff. Fun ambiance. Go there fairly often. Always get the eggplant fries

Try to stop here on my way up to Stratton for the weekend as often as I can. They have a ridiculously good wedge salad. I always add grilled shrimp, and it is always amazing. You will not be disappointed! Their burger is also really good and their fries are hand cut and fantastic. It's small, so you will want to make a reservation in advance if you can. read more

I have been to the Crow many times now over the years. I recently heard from friends who visit on a regular basis Did you hear what happened on Thursday day night? The review identified how many pizzas had been given to customers they thought were over cooked. I don't know who was at the pizza station, but if it was that Sean and the tall guy they make New Haven Style pizza so if you can think on what to do when ordering a pizza from the Crow, you should probably realize the quality of cooks who actually know what they're doing and if you want a blonde under cooked thin crust pizza I suggest you stay home and save your money. Instead, you can put ketchup on a flour Torita, sprinkle a little molded cheese on it and heat it up in your toaster oven! What is up with the guy walking around the place with a solo cup of whisky and yelling at young kids who do the best they can. Doesn't he care that he operates in the public view? The latest news is he just got popped for DUI. Now that's something to be proud of. At any rate I won't be back, I think I'll stay in Westport CT and travel to New Haven the next time I want a real pie. read more

A fun place with a diverse menu - lots to choose from. Best to make a reservation for a separate table, larger groups or walkins might be seated at the long bench table. There's also outdoor seating during warm weather. We had two excellent fish dishes (redfish); fried scallops that were perfectly done, not too heavy; and fish tacos (2) - all delicious. GF available - friendly and attentive waitstaff! Dessert of a flourless chocolate cake was delicious. Highly recommend- at the risk of this place getting too busy! read more

Extremely rude front line staff. They wanted to charge a fee for a reservation! Unreal! I can eat in NYC for less money. I asked why there was a fee for a reservation and they said it was required for parties of 6 or more. Outrageous and totally not acceptable. They should just close if they don't want customers. Or don't accept reservations. Very disappointing with local family around. We are telling everyone we know how bad this experience was. read more

EXCELLENT! We stopped in here on our drive across Vermont. The place is fairly small but the staff was fast and friendly, food delicious, and portions huge. We had a 4 beer tasting, the pretzel appetizer, fish and chips and a pepperoni pizza. It was too much food but all of it was very good. Our waitress was nice, accurate and quick with our order. Also, whoever picks the music here knows their stuff, deep cuts from The Rolling Stones and The Band, heck yes! read more

The burgers were good but very greasy, the wait add seemed overworked and indifferent, had to eat outside even with tables open. As the only place to sit down and eat within 15 miles, seems like they should care more, but since they cater mostly to tourists, we locals can eat happily at home. read more

Love this place! Great food! Wonderful staff! Welcoming atmosphere! Make a reservation or you may not get in!

We were driving home from Vermont and my last stop was meeting a distant relative for the first time. After leaving, the GPS directed us out towards Route 30 South. We knew we were going to be driving through Newfane and when I saw the Fat Crow I said to my other half we have to stop because our friends Jimmy and Joanne eat here often. we arrived for an early dinner and we both decided to share the pizza with all the meats on it. When it came it look like a pizza that came from Connecticut and I had texted a picture to my friend Jimmy who was home at the time. He told me the owner used to own a restaurant in Fairfield, CT so he knows what good pizza is! It was as good as any pizza I had in Connecticut. If I'm back up that way, I'm going to make sure that I stop in there again. Don't miss this place, it's a gem. read more

Love the Crow! TBH I pretty much get the same thing every time...salad and pizza. Recently, a friend and I shared the fish tacos - they were really great, but needed a bit more mango. Their pizzas are consistently great, as are their salads and cocktails. The staff are super friendly! Great ambiance too! read more

The pizza here is amazing! Highly recommend the pizza. Fungus amungus was the one we got. Cocktails were decent, the calamari was lacking, it was fried well but had no seasonings. There's a lot of room for improvement with the calamari. The atmosphere was awesome loved watching the staff work and bake pizzas. One thing to know is you definitely get a reservation if you plan on eating inside. read more

Got our order to go, but the atmosphere when I picked up the food was friendly and the vibe was energetic. Wife got the fish tacos, I got a burger with homemade onion rings (very good) and our son got the Mac and Cheese. The burger was cooked perfectly to temp and over all just delicious. Wife loved the tacos. Hard to find restaurants in the area that provide value, quality, and quantity but Fat Crow delivered on all levels. Deff one of our go to spots. read more

Great food for what I could eat. For a person with a shellfish allergy it was a huge disappointment that they don't separate the shellfish from the French fry's and the only substitute not fried was a side salad. With the meal already coming with coleslaw it was frustrating that I could only have a side salad and they didn't have something else like rice or mashed potatoes. Another thing that subtracted from the experience was all the dust on the metal grate platform above the table. Service was alright but they didn't come around and offer to refill our drinks. I'll definitely try the food again just wish they would fix the few issues. read more

This place is awesome! Visiting my daughter and we decided to go for dinner. We felt super welcome and the hostess and servers were fantastic. The food was wonderful and the drinks were spectacular. I would definitely go back - OFTEN- if I lived in the area. read more

Food delicious, as usual, and very good waitress. However, greeter at the front couldn't care less that my reservation request for a specific table due to a bad back was not honored. Almost ruined a lovely evening. read more

We went on a lark during the week smack in the middle of the "dining" hour after hearing they were finally open. What a beautiful place. Boy were they busy and after a draft beer and a glass of wine a booth opened up and the adventure began. Kenny and Denise have created a clean, trim, and appealing atmosphere for whatever craving you might have. Fresh produce, fun appetizers, wood oven creative pizzas, and tasty entrees. Ken is proud of his brûlée. Yes there are kinks to be ironed out, but you will get a good meal from people that care about getting it right. Be patient and enjoy. read more

Simply amazing! The owner and wait staff were kind and helpful. Very nice menu. Everything we had was amazing. Best ribeye steak in New England. The fish tacos were out of this world. We made reservations and we're seated immediately.(Limited seating inside make a reservation.) The deco is industrial with vintage motorcycle's. The kitchen has a huge wood stove to cook the pizza in. You have to try the lavender creme brulee! read more
