In terms of food, I highly recommend the pulled pork, and would go back just for this. The brisket and turkey were surprisingly dry and a little tough. The Mac and cheese was okay, but a little bland. Maybe I expected more flavor from the cheese being in Vermont. The sausage links tasted great, but I got a few hard pieces inside which ruined it for me.

We had "the Alamo" so tried brisket, ribs, pulled pork, and had Mac and cheese and potato salad for our sides, and also got a half ring of smoked sausage. All of the meats were juicy and flavorful, and the sides were just how we liked them. Everything was so so good. Generous portions/great value for the money. Options for cooled indoor seating or picnic tables if you want to eat outside. This guy is a one man band so if there's a line you will have a little wait, but it is so worth it. Will absolutely eat here again when we are in the area.

It is tender, melts in your mouth, and has that just right gentle smokiness like properly smoked brisket that I eat in Texas. This is a definite thumbs up place to try if you want some proper Texas brisket. If you've never had Texas brisket, it is like a really good slow cooked pot roast, with the gentle addition of a subtle smoky flavor. The other products are similar, with their respective meat flavors. Although I had a brisket sandwich, I really like smoked chicken. If I come again, that may be what I try next. They have pretty limited hours. Currently only open Friday and Saturday 12 to 7 p.m. Come try them out. Casual atmosphere - order at the counter

Workers were very friendly and welcoming inside. The inside had some bar seating and some table seating with someone playing piano. The menu has a variety of different sandwiches. I started with a hot chocolate and the elote dip. Hot chocolate was nothing special but was good on a cold day. The elote dip was delicious! Warm and cheesy! Yum! I then ordered the falafel pita. It wasn't my favorite. The falafel was crisp but I didn't love the homemade gluten free pita. It was not fluffy and was just kinda bland. The fries were made well! Thick and very crispy. Overall the atmosphere was nice.

So while on a trip and looking for a spot to grab some lunch naturally we ended up picking this spot. I've been aware of Lost Nation Brewing but it's been since 2016/2017 when I had a beer from them last. To start they have ample parking and have a nicely painted mural on the side of their building. They have an indoor section we did not check that out and instead sat at the bar in the outdoor section. How can you pass up looking into the kitchen and also the wafting scents of burgers, fries and everything else being cooked. Despite a chillier day than most we have had lately it was worth it! Besides their own brews they had guest taps, guest botttles/cans, and even some cocktails including some spiked apple cider for that fall feeling drink. For beer fans they even had a rotating Hillfarmstead DIPA for a guest tap. I ended up getting their Kolsch and my wife got their gose. Both very solid beers and worth grabbing. Food wise they had a couple burgers, fried chicken sandwich, pulled pork, turkey sandwich, hot dogs, and some small plates. My wife ended up choosing the burger and I got their fried chicken sandwich. She enjoyed the burger and thought it was cooked very well. The chicken sandwich was delicious, the fact it was smothered in honey did make it a bit messy to eat but tasted so good! The fries we got were massive and well seasoned and the side of pickles were great too. Would be a no brainer to get either one again if we visit again! Bartender was friendly and we didn't wait long at all for the drinks or food! Well made brews paired along side delicious food, really what more could you ask for? If you visit during warmer weather it appeared they have a huge outdoor area further back than we were in as well! If you like visiting breweries add this to your list to check out!

Good flavors from the rub, but was a heavy saucing obscured the flavors. That's about where the good stuff ends. None of the sides I ordered were very good. The potato salad was the best of them, but needed some salt and maybe a little bit of acid. The cornbread had good jalapeño flavor, but was dried out. The mac & cheese was surprisingly bland. The ambience here is casual, converted warehouse feel (in fact they have a cidery on property). They host bands during the week so could be a fun place to hang out. It's Vermont, so I don't expect much in the way of good barbecue. This place will do in a pinch, but don't expect competitive Q.

So I did a quick search and found Nocturnal which was the old Sunrise Grill that was sold. The inside has been revamped and has a pub feel to it. I sat at the bar and ordered another Heady Topper since they were dealing with the VT bureaucracy trying to bring in and sell their own beer. Perusing the menu, it looks like most of the items are barbecue related. I ordered a fried hot chicken sandwich. It came on a soft roll and required eating with a knife and fork because the amount of fried chicken overwhelmed the roll. The chicken was perfectly fried and crispy with a great sauce transmitting good heat. I ordered corn bread to go for a midnight snack. When trying the bread in my hotel room later that night, I couldn't eat it. I think the chef used a tablespoon instead of a teaspoon when adding salt to the batter, which was disappointing because I love a good corn bread. I'm guessing this was a one off and will try it again. I'll be back in Stowe this summer on the bike and will try Nocturnal again in order to provide an update.

It's worth it when you can get a seat and eat there. Let me give you the reasons why I knocked it down to 4 stars: 1. Getting a table for dinner here can be difficult especially during the weekend. Yes, even when it's below freezing point. They are that popular and not being able to make a reservation doesn't help. 2. The only dish I found out off many occasions and many items is the sausages. It's a bit more grainy in texture that as off putting for me. Because it's grainy, I can imagine that this was made by hand instead of mass produced.

Quaint little place with a great atmosphere. Busy for a Friday night, mostly locals, which speaks volumes for the business, in my opinion. I wish we lived closer because we would make it a regular date night place
