Solid bar food after a long day of skiing. My group of 5 waited about 45 minutes on a Friday night…read morebut we grabbed some drinks at the bar and listened to the live music while we waited. Appetizers: Cornbread, brisket nachos, Caesar salad, gochujang rub chicken tenders and Mac and cheese. Everything was solid and the portions were pretty large, so we were decently full by the time our entrees came. Entrees: pork belly tacos, brisket tacos, salmon tacos and the prime rib wrap. I loved the prime rib wrap - it was well stuffed with meat and the outside was crispy from the grill. Dessert: the brookie (brownie + cookie) skillet was delicious! We left with lots of leftovers despite being extremely full! Service was friendly and quick also.

They have a great selection of beers from all around Vermont and I contemplated getting a flight before settling on a selection. We got the southwestern egg rolls as an appetizer and they were so delicious and cheesy! They were too appealing to be photographed before consumption. I got the salmon tacos and they were delicious. The salmon was flavorful and perfectly cooked with a crispy texture. I was pretty impressed at how big the portion of salmon for each taco was. We'd definitely stop by here again in the future for dinner. By the time we left, the dinner rush was in full effect with people waiting for a seat and I can see why!

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!!

The hostess was incredibly personable and sweet. I'd had a crap day and really just wanted a beer. It was 5 minutes to close. I figured it wasn't going to happen, but I figured I'd look at their draft menu for the next day and get an idea of what I'd want to eat when I come back. Not only did they take great care of me and get me a MUCH needed beer, but when I came back to eat the next day it got even better! I couldn't decide which beer I wanted. The girl was SO nice and gave me half of each. Good call, because I definitely liked one more than the other! Now HERE is the BEST PART: the worthy burger. Sweet Jesus. I heard angels. Seriously one of the best burgers I've ever had. Ever. The bun was perfect and THOSE PICKLES! The cheese was perfectly melted. Just the right amount of secret sauce. Did I mention the pickles were amazing? I also ordered truffle fries with Parmesan and a kid size order of the Mac and cheese. Because real cheese. They weren't bad. The truffle fries were on the milder side, but tasty. Maybe a little soft. Pro tip: get the pesto aoli to dip! I like homemade Mac and cheese and I hardly ate more than a few bites. I had heard great things but eh. Maybe I was just in love with the burger! I didn't get a picture. My phone died and I couldn't wait do yourself a favor- get the worth burger with some extra pickles on the side!

My heart does not usually go pitter patter over fast food. Sadly, Canteen Creemee flew under my…read moreradar for the longest time after its 2016 opening, as a result. I was fooled by the burgers, fries, chili, chicken nuggets, and soft serve on the menu (similar to what its mediocre predecessor served at Country Creemee), and thought it was the same standard issue Sysco fare available at every other joint in town. But, my friends, learn from my mistake: Canteen Creemee is so much more than that. It doesn't serve just any old fast food. There is exceptional slow food on the menu that's made with care (if not always complete authenticity). It just happens to be served very quickly after you order it. There's the Straight Outta Bangkok. ($12; Menu description: "Anan traveled from Bangkok to spend his summer with us here at the CCC. So, this green curry is the real deal! Our fried chicken with Anan's coconut green curry served over rice. It's a little Sweet and a little Spicy!!!") Truth be told, I'm not entirely sure this dish is the real deal, lacking as it is in heat, pungency (e.g. from fish sauce), and identifiable vegetable matter. But no matter. Canteen Creemee's version is absolutely delicious, the chicken beautifully fried and beautifully crisp; the jasmine rice fragrant and silky; the sauce redolent with the heady scent of lemongrass. We found it to be a phenomenally good anodyne to a cold winter's day and eight hours of hardcore mogul skiing through a snowstorm. Actually, all of their fried chicken dishes are glorious. We happen to live near Charles' Pan Fried Chicken in NYC, which I would probably rank among the best sources of fried bird in the northeastern US. (I also grew up in the south with exposure to some pretty darn good fried chicken, so I flatter myself to think I have some informed opinions.) Canteen Creemee serves a different style, not quite as crusty, but as ethereally light and crispy and juicy as fried chicken can be. I think it might be every bit as good as Charles -- just in a very different style. Since the beginning, the menu has intrigued with traces of kimchi in interesting places: Kimchi grilled cheese, kimchi tots, and now kimchi stew. Again, if you're an authenticity stickler, you might be disappointed. There isn't quite the funk or heat that you might find in kimchi from the homeland, but those Dirty K-tots ($11.50; "Tahts loaded with our smoked pork, housemade kimchi, spicy mayo, cilantro, scallions.....") are a college kid's wet dream, the perfect food to accompany anything from Natty Light to Citizen Cider. Each component is made with care, the tots beautifully golden and crisp, the smoked pork tender as can be. Cabbage kimchi (made with standard issue green cabbage from I can tell) adds a pleasant touch of acid. I usually despise mayo based sauces, but the spicy mayo that was drizzled on our takeout order in moderation was not objectionable. I guess based on my expectations, I did not love the Jjigae Pork Belly Kimchi Stew ($14.00; "The flavors are clean, healthy and hearty! The spice is nice to warm you from the inside out on a cold winter day. Our house fermented kimchi is the base for this stew. Braised pork belly atop steamed rice with kimchi stew AND a runny side up egg.") Many of the components were nicely prepared, the pork belly tender as could be, the runny yolk a nice touch... And there was even a credible amount of heat in the dish. But we were hoping for something a little more stewy and less ricey, maybe with some tofu added. To be fair, kimchi jigae / chigai is a huge comfort food for me and I guess I'm hidebound about how I want it. It is objectively well made and delicious. There's no dining in, only a take-out counter located next to Mehuron's in Waitsfield's Village Square, with some picnic tables set out in warm weather (e.g. not in Dec, Jan and February when we are usually in the area). Don't be a fool and let this stop you from enjoying some truly interesting, innovative, well made comfort food all year round.

In all honesty, the entrees were just normal Italian food, it was good but nothing earth shattering. The reason this place is a 10/10 is because of the mussels, it's so good!

Good selection of beverages - local brews on draft. The kid's menu has a choice between a pasta dish - linguine or penne with marinara, butter or puttanesca - with meat balls as an add on. It is a lot of food for a kid and we brought back leftovers. My husband enjoyed his ahi tuna with potatoes and roasted tomato. My chicken piccata was perfectly cooked and flavorful with the capers. We were full, but could not resist ordering the tiramisu. The tiramisu was light and not overly sweet with drizzle of chocolate, lady fingers with a dash of espresso. Definitely worth coming back next time we come out to ski in Killington.
