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!!

This company does not know the first thing about bbq! They serve brisket and pulled pork and ribs…read moreall tasteless bland and overpriced! 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

A true marketplace experience, if you will. We stopped in right when they opened at 8am on a Wednesday in August. My son had the breakfast burrito and I had the huevos rancheros. Both very good and very filling. The woman who took our order was very friendly. Everything was bright and clean and very inviting. We left a little after 9 and the place was starting to fill up by then. This was a great spot to fill up before continuing on our roadtrip, and glad we found it! We would love to come back the next time we are in town!

If you are looking for the best creemee place in Vermont? Shiretown Marketplace is a must!…read moreWindow to order, picnic tables on site and across the street in the park. Gift card creemees available. All ingredients are locally sourced and each batch changes on a regular basis to feature new flavors. The owners Dani and Kevin make all flavors of their creemees from scratch! Blueberry, Strawberry, Blood Orange, Apple Pie, Maple(seems to be available all the time), of course Chocolate and Vanilla...are there all the time. Portions are generous and you may request your creemee with toppings or twist of two flavors style, and on a cone or in a cup. Truly outstanding as is their breakfast and lunches offered. There is a gift shop inside and you can dine in or take-out!

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!

For the first time, I ordered a maple creemee pint to take home along with my order (pro tip: pack an ice pack so that it doesn't melt). How is it possible that this Vermont delicacy tasted better than I can ever recall? The texture what sublime. The maple flavor pronounced. We are so lucky to have the Canteen here in the Valley and, I'll reiterate from my previous review, it's not to be taken for granted.

Unfortunately, this turned out to be the worst service I've had all year. Being understaffed wasn't the issue--we were patient and in no rush. The real disappointment was our server's dismissive, passive-aggressive attitude from the moment we sat down. Instead of feeling welcomed, we felt like a burden. By the time the food finally arrived--over 1.5 hours later--half of our table had already walked out. For a group ready to spend the evening (and plenty of money) here, the lack of hospitality completely ruined our dinner experience. What I ordered: * Salmon - 5/5 (the only highlight of the night)

I requested to sit at the bar and the host walked me to the bar. The bartender was kind and attentive. At the bar, you can order from the bar bites menu and/or you can order from the regular menu. They provide roasted garlic and a warm baguette to start your meal. For dinner, I order a house salad and two bar bites, the caprese and artichoke dip. The lettuce in the salad was so fresh and it was really filling. The star was the artichoke dip. It had hints of sun dried tomatoes and it was incredible. If you're in town, I highly recommend The Garlic!

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!
