Our server / Waitress Katie was the sweetest , very attentive . I just feel like they were a little under staffed and the poor girl was found her best all around the place .. was also crowded . The food was really GREAT !! Definitely recommend , specially the Brussels Sprouts.. fresh and tasty. The only downer is the bathroom , not exactly the most convenient and it could be a bit cleaner , wasn't really that clean . read more

Solid 3.5...ordered three different tacos. They were okay, a little pricey in my opinion for what was served. I got the carnitas, chicken, and beef...wish the beef wasn't just a basic ground, carnitas was good and the chicken was my least favorite, a little bland. The passion fruit margarita I got was delicious, I would definitely order that again. Service was good and the place is nice, I would come back and try other items. read more

Great experience during the Eclipse weekend! Didn't want anything too heavy, so headed here for a salad and taco. The salad was very large and was perfect to share. The flavors were very great and everything tasted fresh. We went with the carnitas tacos, which were juicy (make sure you add the tomatillo salsa) and had a good orange rind flavor that complemented the carnitas. Also, the tap list is great. Got a flight of Hill Farmstead which is a huge treat. While the food was really good (so happy!) I think the service was even better. Our server was attentive, diligent, and very accommodating for my friend who has severe allergies. The answer was always, yep, we've got you, not a problem! Really happy to see my friend have a great experience and get some exceptionally tasty food. You should go here. read more

Kingdom Taproom is a hidden gem in a small town that is worth going off the beaten path to experience. On our way back to Boston from Dog Mountain, we stumbled across Kingdom Taproom via Yelp and some other dog friendly websites. The outside gives off the typical craft beer taproom vibes, which made me skeptical. However, we opened up the menu and found (despite small in quantity) some very interesting options for food. We decided on the pickle plate and poutine for sharing prior to ordering our entrees. I will say the pickle plate is probably the BEST plate that I've ever had, which is high praise considering I make my own pickles and after being in the south for almost a decade am extremely well versed in styles and types. It was not just the crunch and taste of the plate, but also the variety of veggies that are on the plate... it's vastly different (and delicious) from any other plate I've had at a restaurant. The poutine was superb as well. I will say it ranks (easily) in the top 5 poutines I've had. The only other dishes that would rank above it came from Milwaukee (cheese country) and various Canadian establishments (which is kinda where it's from), so again it garners high praise. The gravy was flavorful but not too thick, the curds were perfect in terms of texture and taste, and the fries stayed crisp through the entire duration of its existence. The burgers we had (one beef and one veggie) were done very well (not well done...). It was not the best burger we've ever had, and the potato bun felt like too much bun for the burger, but that's a preference thing, and I prefer brioche to potato - which is a very hot topic among burger snobs. The service and ambiance were adequate, which is the only reason it fares "good" in rating and not "great" or 5 stars. The value of the meal almost vaulted it into 5-star territory for me, as I always hold the value of the meal in high regard. So let's call it 4.5 stars, say you shouldn't miss it if you are in the area, and even venture that it's worth the time spent to wander off the main highway. read more

Fantastic place. The restaurant is at "basement" level and it just adds to the charm and feel. Very speakeasy feeling. I absolutely love it. There's not a bad seat there. Bar, couch, high tops, tables. Just wait to be seated! Staff is super accommodating and pleasant. My food has always been so delicious. The French onion soup was a perfect starter. Seasoned well and the cheese was so gooey and melty perfection. One bite of my Caprese sandwich and I knew I had made the right choice. Absolute perfection. Refreshingly fresh and had the perfect crunch to the bread. I will no doubt return. Always a good time! read more

This is about the only place in town that is open until 9 during the week. So we ended up here. Love that they have tofu as a protein add on and they have a vegan sweet potato taco or burrito option. The southwest salad with tofu was large and greens were tender and delicious. Service was excellent and music was a reasonable volume to still have a conversation. Would definitely go back. read more

Sat down for food and was told twenty minutes despite the fact of having a full wait staff. The waitresses seemed to be walking in circles and not paying attention to the four of sitting down. When they finally got to taking our order they ignored our drinks and kept serving new patrons. I'm so irate as I write this that I wasn't to break beer glasses against the walls. 45 minutes in, and I'm balls-deep. Waiting... Beer came and is sub-par. Whenever, I roll back through St. Johnsbury I will avoid this place like the plague. read more

Poutine is a fickle dish. Went to St. J for a day to look around. Stopped in for a beverage and some food. Wait staff wore masks, and patrons should do the same when not eating and drinking. The beer selection was also good. Back to the poutine. Seems easy. Throw some fries on a plate, top with cheese curds and then pour over gravy. But keeping the fries from getting soggy, while ensuring the cheese melts is tricky. They didn't hit the mark but it wasn't a terrible miss either. The cheese wasn't melted but overall it was a good dish and the fries held their own. Tasty. And bacon. They added bacon. With a good craft beer that works for me. read more

Excellent food. Excellent service. Clean, bright, & hip. Hubby and I got burgers (they're pretty small but filling). We ordered medium- he got medium and I got well-done (docked a star for that). I didn't send it back or complain because I was hungry and didn't want to wait for them to cook another one. At well-done, it was still delicious. Not dry like you'd think, either. Truffle Parmesan fries were amazing! The spicy pickled carrots were a tasteful surprise! read more

Bad service, mediocre food at high prices. That's why they went out of business. It is now Birches. It seems to be doing well as the oils owners are gone and the owners from Boule Bakery now own Birches. read more

A great restaurant to stop in and grab some eats and catch up with friends and family. Nestled in the historic town of St Jansbury, it is a great place for eats and drinks. I think they had an extensive drink menu even though that's not my cup of tea. The waiter was welcoming and the outdoor eating area had umbrellas and nice patio/wooden picnic table family benches. I had their table salad which had a wonderful flavor of greens, fat (nuts, cheese and bacon) and tart (grapefruit) for around $14. The poppyseed vinaigrette totally worked with the salad. Service is kind, considerate and attentive. read more

Stopped here on my way home from a bicycle event in Burke VT. Overall it was a very nice experience. What I liked most about the Kingdom was the spacious room with high ceilings. They had a nice selection of local beers and a nice bar. My lunch was pretty simple. A Caesar salad with sardines and that was it. So I can't really comment on the more complex dishes, but I was happy with the portion and the dressing. read more

Returning from a wonderful ski weekend in Quebec's Eastern Townships, pleasantly tired and sore from all the activity, and as well, ravenously hungry, we looked for dinner restaurants in the Lyndonville/St. Johnsbury area and came up with the Kingdom Taproom. We weren't disappointed. We initially thought the place was closed as it seemed to be at street level (a new restaurant going up) and then we saw the downstairs signs. We entered and were ushered to our table. First was the superb beer selection, which we explored, IPAs, Double IPAs, Ambers, Light Ambers, etc. Wonderful. Our server was quite versed with their selections and made some excellent recommendations. Then there was the food. Yum. Their flatbreads are delicious. We had both the pulled pork and the buffalo chicken selections and both outstanding. I had their Chilean Lomito sandwich, pressed sourdough panini with slow-roasted pulled chicken in a chili, lime & garlic marinade, topped with sliced red onions, guacamole and herb aioli. The combination of flavors was superb. We now have a place halfway between home and the Quebec ski areas to enjoy a good apres ski and dinner. Totally recommended. read more

Friday night my wife and I were looking for a place to grab a bite on a Friday night and came across the Kingdom Taproom in St Johnsbury. My wife decided to get a Citrus burrata salad with bacon, and I ordered their downstreet burger with bacon, blue cheese and caramelized onions on a brioche rolls. Everything was excellent. The burger was juicy and the flavors meld together in one of the best burgers I have had in a long time. One additional plus for this place was my wife doesn't drink, so when we go out there are usually limited non alcohol options and when my wife asked what they had for NA beers, the waitress started to rattle off a nice list of options. That put a smile on my wife's face. read more

While on a road trip with my fiancé, his cousin, and her boyfriend's family, we came about Kingdom Taproom. They have been here several times in previous road trips to Vermont, so they wanted to take us here. It looks like a daytime speakeasy, dimly lit so people coming here could spend hours here and not know what time it is outside. The service was pretty quick! I had food in my mouth when the waitress asked what I wanted to order as my entree, so she decided to take my order once she finished everyone else's order. However, the waitress did forget to take my order after taking everyone else's and we had to call her back so she can take my order. I ended up getting the mac and cheese with pulled pork as well as white chocolate pumpkin cheesecake. Our food came out altogether after about 20 minutes, but what I thought would be an average-sized entree was actually a large cauldron of bubbling cheese, overflowing with pasta and copious amounts of pulled pork. The mac and cheese stayed HOT until about 20 minutes later, so I kept huffhuffing on my food until it got to a warm temperature. This dish is incredibly cheesy and saturated in carbs, which on a cold day, was a smart move on my part! Not good for a diet, good for the soul. The white chocolate pumpkin cheesecake was very creamy and pretty dense, which I love in a dessert! Despite its sweetness from the white chocolate, you could still taste the pumpkin! The crust was also wonderful: not too hard, but not soft and weak from holding so much filling. During this feast, I was also able to sample the maple pear upside-down cake. It was so refreshing how Kingdom Taproom uses fresh and large pear slices in the cake! However, it was still quite sweet and easy to scarf down. I was so impressed with my food at Kingdom Taproom. This place makes anyone want to forget about any sort of diet and just dive right into high quality and soul-warming food. Definitely try this place out if you are in Vermont! read more

Based on the prior review, we stopped here for lunch on our way back from Quebec to Southbridge, MA. The restaurant was in an older building but completely remodeled inside. The art was very interesting. Our server immediately seated the 3 of us at a window table looking at the Main Street. Water and iced tea were brought to our table quickly. My husband ordered the cheeseburger which was huge and perfectly cooked. Great French fries accompanied the burger. My sister and I ordered the fish & chips which were delicious. The gentleman that served us was so nice and welcoming. He continued to check on us to insure that we were satisfied with our meals. This is truly a find for travelers or locals. We would eat here more frequently if we lived near the town. By all means, patronize this establishment. read more

Blown away by the Basement Bar earthy tones and golden lighting with brass plated bar surfaces. The bartender, Libby, was so funny and friendly and helpful with making choices for an overwhelmed first timer. With plentiful drafts to choose from as well as cocktail list and wines by the glass, it was an adventure wondering through the 15 draft choices from as far away as Sweden to local craft houses in VT. The meat and cheese board was a great pairing to please the palate with the variety of beer sampling. After a day of walking about downtown and a trip to the local museum it was a great space for someone looking for great comfort food and candy store like choices to indulge in. Next time will have to sample whiskey with the cheese board instead of beers. It was an experience worth a return visit. read more

What a find! On our way up to Burke mountain to ski and stopped in here for dinner. Our waitress was incredibly friendly and gave me all of her recommendations for a flight, as their selection on tap was impressive. The bread starter with garlic butter was amazing, as was the cheese plate and the teriyaki tofu flatbread special. Apple bread pudding for dessert was great and certainly large enough to share! This is really everything you're looking for in a cozy, friendly, and delicious northern vt restaurant. I will certainly be back the next time I'm in the area. read more

Weird experience. Very cool space.. No bar service (I am guessing due to covid), but they quickly accommodated my party of 1 at a table in the back. I ordered their chorizo tacos and a beer. The service was prompt and friendly. The tacos were quite tasty (and I am from Texas), but the chips were grossly undercooked to the point of just being gross stale soggy bits of tortilla. The waitress immediately recognized the problem, but offered no resolution. Not a "can I get you another order ", "can I comp one of your drinks", nothing. She just offered to take it away. A simple gesture would have taken it from a 2 star to at least a 4. read more

Just re-opened after a refurbish and it's wonderful. Busy and fun with comfortable spaces-super leather armchairs and rustic high-top tables which can accommodate six to ten people. The bar food maintains a Mexican theme and is exceptionally good.

Great beer selection, food was tasty. Was a little too dark in there for my liking but otherwise a great spot.

The taste of our food was great. But that's about all the positive we have to share. The menu is so small, not very kid friendly, and the prices are high. A cup of Mac n cheese was $11. I left my mixed drink untouched on the table because it was so incredibly strong. And while our waitress tried to do her best you could tell she was getting very frustrated with our large group asking her questions about the menu etc. Again, food tasted great but we won't be returning. read more

I've visited Kingdom a few times now while traveling for work. Located in the dilapidated city of Saint Johnsbury, Kingdom transcends expectations and has proven itself to be a formidable opponent amongst the numerous craft beer bars in VT. The place is essentially split into two sections: The upstairs, which is mostly reserved for table service and larger parties, and a downstairs pub for smaller parties. Craft beer lovers will certainly quench their thirst, as this place usually has atleast 4-5 classic (and even vintage!) Hill Farmstead's and other local favorites on tap at once. They've also got a decent bottle list that includes selections from Cantillon and other quality breweries; both foreign and domestic. Bartenders are friendly and attentive, and always willing to provide helpful suggestions for those naïve to craft beer or the menu in general. I've gotten the Chilaen Lomito and the Pulled Pork (most popular) sandwiches. Both meats were a little bit dry, maybe could have been more tender, but overall flavor was excellent - and the side dishes were great too! Kingdom Taproom is a diamond in the rough of a small city in rural Vermont. Go here for a (surprisingly) exceptional taplist along with creative and flavorful pub fare that can go toe-to-toe with any craft beer bars in the Burlington or Winooski area. read more

Down the stairs into the tap room seems like your entering a cool yet exclusive place that only some know about. Warm colors, Edison bulbs, communal tables. The vibe is chill. That staff friendly if not a bit rushed. The beer tasting flight was a marvel. We were able to try all types of amazing rare beer. Once the keg was spent, they were ready with the next option, description and all. No waiting! The "healthier"nachos w grilled chicken were a nice option while beer tasting but their house made hot sauce selection certainly kicked it up a notch! read more

Been twice. Used to be super discouraged when they were not open during lunch hours during the week, but went today for a late lunch and it was fantastic. Got the Mac and cheese with buffalo chicken. Looks small in the bubbling cauldron it comes in, but looks are deceiving and it's actually quite filling and not too expensive: my lady got the harvest salad with jerk chicken on top...huge salad portion and quite possibly the juiciest, most moist chicken breast ever. Delicious food. Beer list is always pretty good and a couple from Hill Farmstead seem to be staple for their taps (not a bad thing!). Love the vibe of this dimly lit, speak easy type room. Even if it's packed and you are next to another table there is still an intimate feel to the place. More of a 4.5 than a 4 star. Only wish it was closer to us and sadly Saint J is kind of a dead place with not a ton going on. read more

Just great. Tons of (rotating) beer choices, nice stylish atmosphere, and surprisingly good food. We had the pulled pork, a big salad, and the soup special- tonight it was split pea with ham. All were great (the soup was tops- thick and full of ham), and the check with tip was $48 for two. I also REALLY appreciate being able to get a gluten free roll! A really nice addition to the St. J eating and drinking scene. read more

Great atmosphere and friendly staff! Prices pretty good too. Got the French onion soup and buffalo chicken mac and cheese, both of which were plain, boring and disappointing. And I had such high hopes! The onion soup tasted too much like broth and the chicken was separate from the macaroni (which was shells, not macaroni) and they'd added a handful of croutons for some reason...as a cheap filling I guess? So I wouldn't come back for the food, but def for the atmosphere. They have cards and cribbage too! read more

I came here because I was hungry and couldn't find anything else open. I got the VT Cheesesteak with fries and the Raspberry Flourless Torte. The Cheesesteak was awful: meat was flavored badly, the cheese sauce tasted like it had been made with sour milk, and you couldn't pick the thing up to eat--every time I tried, all the filling specifically in the bit I was trying to bite fell out. On top of that, it was really greasy in a way I've never seen with a cheesesteak sandwich, and I've eaten a lot of them--it got all over my hands. The fries were badly cooked and overly greasy. The torte was good, but unexceptional. And everything was massively overpriced--150% of what it would be reasonable to pay even if the food was all unexceptional, as opposed to most of it being bad. Service was great, though. The waitress was really nice, cheerful, and checked on me regularly. read more
