The parking felt like we were parking for a huge concert. People directing, hoping to find an open spot. We finally found a small spot and decided to grab a bite before looking at the huge place across the driveway. When in Vermont, get the Vermonter. Smoked turkey, apples, cheddar, pickled onions. My daughter liked it. I got a cheeseburger with maple bourbon pickles, cheddar, onion, tomato, and lettuce. The presentation of both was really nice. Both tasted good. They ran about $13-15. We wanted to do a cider flight but the ones we wanted to try were out. The wait to order was looooooooong (more than 20 minutes) and then waiting for the food also took a while. This is not the place to go if you have limited time. After eating at the cafe, we crossed the driveway and explored the large building. Lots to buy. We decided to try the cider donut that everyone was buying. It was a tiny boring soggy donut. Not worth the wait or the $ (even though it was cheap). It was fun to watch the cider press.

The broccoli cashew salad was fresh and delicious. I was a little bummed that the Turkey was but fresh cut and appeared to have preservatives/lunch meat texture.

There's plenty of parking so keep driving in the lot and you'll see the overflow lot. Next you'll grab an apple cider, either hot or cold or even in freeze form. The cider is good, albeit very sweet. The donuts were a miss for us and what we were looking forward to the most. I expected them to be warm and tossed in cinnamon sugar but there were individual wax bags of them behind the register sitting there cold and sad. The highlight was the maple creemee. It was the best one on our trip to New England because it was smooth, very creamy, and hit all the right notes. There's plenty of stuff to buy in the shop and they also have a restaurant next door serving bbq.

Upon walking in you'll notice that it is a very small restaurant with their lights dimmed low. The bar area is ready to be taken in photo and put in one of those decorations magazines. The hostess was great, the waiter we got was really friendly, knowledgeable and the food recommendations were FANTASTIC. We got the chicken wings with pickled carrots and house ranch, the side of pulled pork, their Pig Mac burger (a double) and their duck fat French fries (OMG). Everything was good, we would just look at each other and say "did you try this, did you have a bite of that?" my only regret is that I didn't get a chance to try their skillet cookie and that we live more than an hour away. We will definitely go back and eat at this restaurant again.

Our party of 6 climbed camel's hump earlier in the day and showed up famished. We knew this was the right pig out spot for us to refuel from the moment we walked in, smelled the food and saw the amazing ceiling-high bar. The smoked meats were outstanding. High quality cuts smoked to perfection. We had an order of every meat they offer and they were all just as good. That being said, I could go back just for the cornbread w maple butter. My word, it was like eating cake for dinner. The Mac & cheese was ooey and gooey with a nice crispy top. And the cookie skillet was like a party in your mouth. We didn't think we'd be able to finish everything but there wasn't a crumb to be found when we were done. As far as service goes, it was as good as I've ever had at a place like this. Our server was laid back yet always on top of things. We never waited for anything and her timing was perfect. There's outdoor seating if that's your jam.

Her beer choice was Common People from Bluejacket-a micro brewery in Washington, DC. You can always count on the best beer selection anywhere at Blackback Pub.

Couple of notes: 1)…read moreapparently, the menu changes frequently. For example only one or two things on the yelp menu were on the menu I received 2) New American is a very apt characterization of the menu with emphasis on new. As in new to the point of unusual/unfamiliar/avant guard. 3) I am not a huge fan of cruciferous vegetables and the offering was chock full of them, like Ham and Pork Belly with buttered Cauliflower 4) I could not find an entree that sounded terrific from the 4 offered that day. The hanger steak on the menu Yelp showed would have been great. 5) I had two of the starters - chicken liver pate with grilled bread and salami cotto. They were good. Pate is hard to make into a stand out. The Salami appeared to be made in house and was quite good but would have been better to share -- it's a lot of salami 5). The place was full and loud. Not sure why restaurants with hard surfaces and high ceilings think bass driven background music is the thing to do, but it appears to be. The noise volume detracted from the intimacy of a couples dinner. If you are really adventurous- this place is for you. If you favor the more familiar with a twist, you may be there the wrong night.
