LoVe this Hancock Country Store!…read more Sara the owner dd a beautiful job renovating this old building. She told me that she's been here for a decade! I couldn't believe it but I haven't been in the habit of stopping in Hancock. This CS though will be in my circulation :)! It's one of my favorite finds this season! Hubbard's I think appeals to visitors as well as locals bc they do have a bit of everything and a deli with super reasonable prices! It's a great place to pick up CofFeE, snacks, sandwiches, pizza, bevies, mementos, gifts etc., to your hikes or to wherever. Sara is very personable and helpful! It's conveniently located on SR125 where SR100 & SR125 meet, across from the tiny hotel restaurant. Hubbard's will soon be offering gas as well. That'll be nice to have gas on both ends of the Middlebury Gap. There are several parking spots in front of the store. Enjoy!

It is a cute country store and walking around. I picked up a note pad for my wife for her Christmas stocking ... But I came here for the pizza. I ordered up a large onion, pepper and sausage... And it was delightful... The cheese was great. The toppings were ample and the tomato sauce was a great balance... The fresh dough made it complete. It didn't hurt that the person making it was welcoming. Great at conversation and if I dare say darn good looking. I couldn't recommend this place enough. If you're in the area, drop into the store. See what they have. Order up a pizza. Grab some ice cream. Grab a couple of gifts. You won't go wrong.

But we had a friend in town visiting, and so we took him and our exchange student out. Much to our 49ers family's surprise, we found out that it's also a "Niners" place, so it was great to see local support of the team. The establishment is like many Vermont pubs, very low key and straightforward, down to earth. Great, friendly staff, and attentive. We ended up ordering a lot of food - fried pickles, burgers, etc. and it was all good pub food. None of it is like "Michelin star" but it's certainly good food, served in a good pub atmosphere. We'll definitely be going back at some point.

I mean a real bbq truck / trailer serves chicken , pulled pork , burnt ends , ribs beef an pork , brisket and all the fixings ! With sauces to go with . Nope not these minimalists . Their meats are bland with hardly any smoke ring as you will see in their brisket nope nothing ! And their sauces suck and are only from high priced bullcrap privateers . They obviously did not do any homework before opening . Ive heard from a few wedding parties they catered and those parties were not happy at all and basically had the same critique as i do . We will never buy so called bbq from them ever again

Still fabulous…read more They've evolved from being a completely home based operation to operating a food truck on weekends. This is the message from the business when I wrote to inquire (as of December 2024): "We are doing a food truck now in Waitsfield on Saturdays during the winter in the Waitsfield in the Chamber of Commerce parking lot. It is across from Valero gas station. We will be there from 12-5 on Saturday. We ask if someone is getting food for 12 or more people to please preorder, otherwise just stop in and we can serve you." Meats are awesomely tender and moist, perfectly imbued with smoke, seasoned with just the right amount of salt and paprika-forward spice. Lesser barbecue sometimes clonks you over the head with smoke, sugar, and seasonings. Dino Bones is so much more nuanced and refined. It does not rely on sweetness for its appeal. We recently tried a half pound of brisket and a half rack of ribs, each $15, with sauce on the side for a bit extra. There's a good reason the sauce is sold on the side: meat is so good you don't really need (or want) a sauce to obscure those great flavors. Ingredients are well sourced, locally sourced -- and you can taste the quality. Hope we can keep this place open!!

This place is closed. Open during the day as a breakfast place which is great. Check their website…read morewhere it states they are closed - see photo/screenshot attached.

Dinner at Fire & Ice was a highlight of our month-long sojourn in New England. Housed in an old…read morefarmhouse just outside of Middlebury, Fire & Ice features locally sourced fresh and natural ingredients in an ambitious menu that will satisfy most palates. The restaurant has been around for more than half a century and has an eclectic decor with walls covered in black and white photos, hundred year old Hackercraft motorboat, biplane propellers, and wooden skis that likely were used to carve up Stowe and Killington. We started with a watermelon margarita and an extra dry Hendricks Gibson up. The drinks were perfectly chilled and hit the spot after a long day touring Fort Ticonderoga. We were told that their prime rib was the belle of the Fire & Ice ball so we made that our dinner. Roasted slowly overnight, the meat is perfectly medium rare inside with a delectable crust. Served with a range of sides and a generous dollop of freshly grated horseradish, we could not have been more pleased with the quality and quantity of the prime rib. They have an interesting dessert cart but, after 40 ounces of delicious prime rib, we gave the sweet course a miss. Fire & Ice is a compelling option for those spending time in Middlebury. We highly recommend this venue.

This restaurant is located at Basin Harbor Club. It's a seasonal resort, boat club, and I guess…read moregolf thing. Always had a reputation of the "flatlander upper-crustaceans" from a Vermonter perspective. But the restaurant is open to the public so decided to try it for a birthday dinner for my spouse. The ambiance is a Buffy and Biff are visiting from Montauk motif, complete with a wedding staged off to one side by the bay with nothing but classic WASPs. The dining area is part of a semi-circular adjunct to the main building, with large windows offering garden and lake views, generally spectacular when not marred by people. Linen table cloths and a general aura of classical fine dining complete the picture, with color tones reminiscent of a boat club, which is what Basin Harbor is, in part. The service was good. Our server, from Jamaica, didn't seem to understand why anyone would forego an appetizer. Something about the way the question was asked was off putting in a way that I can't quite place. It conveyed a "oh you can't afford the appetizer, there goes my tip". When really, I just generally keep meals to the entree because Americans super-size everything. She was attentive however, and did check in an appropriate amount. On the other hand she almost overlooked the wine. Timing overall was also a bit off. The food - was decent. Not amazeballs. Not up to par for the appearances of the resort. I had a nice cocktail full of bitterness, called the Buckley, which was served in a juice glass. It had promise, but the mix was off, leading to mouth-puckering, but OK. Some people like that I guess. I ordered the lobster cappuccino bisque. I love a lobster bisque generally. This one was an interesting take. It wasn't bad, but it was devoid of lobster, only the lobster taste was there. It WAS brilliant in the counter point of the cappuccino, which really did make it work well overall, even if I could long for a morsel of actual lobster meat. Then there was the filet. It was resting upon a baked potato mashed down and to the same cut, with a few sprigs of asparagus in between. It was a wonderful presentation. The filet was decent, of the quality you could buy from Omaha Steaks. The glaze was good, and actually worked well with the steak. As we dined, the executive chef came out to an adjacent table (several times) and checked in on them. Apparently they were staying at the resort, were regulars, and thus, big spenders so they needed to be courted. The rest of the diners had no such benefit. But in that conversation I overheard a possible reason my bisque had no lobster. The chef told the other table he had a special "lobster tartare". But he clarified that it wasn't raw lobster, but lobster with tartar sauce. OK, if you are peddling lobster with tartar sauce, you don't really belong in New England at least. I hope I'm wrong and I could be. Please let that be the case. As other reviewers observed, if you accept bread, you WILL be charged for it. We were charged the smaller portion (up to 4 people), for three rolls [we were two people mind you]. They do have a decent wine selection. Try the 1905 - a Willamette Pinot Noir that was very berry tasty.
