What a cute little diner with an amazing view! Be sure to get a table in the back to be able to see the beautiful view of Moose River. I loved the Maple Milkshake something completely different for this Vegas local. I had the seafood platter fried. Clam strips, scallops, haddock and shrimp. Wants to get a bit of all the local seafood. I loved they offer pickled beets as a side. YUM! My friend highly recommends the mushroom burger. Cooked medium rare and came out perfect. Very juicy and flavorful. Light battered onion rings that hit the spot. Our waitress was very friendly. So glad we stumbled soon this place as we drive across the NE states. read more

Mooselook Diner - Maple milkshake is delicious - Diners Near Me - Concord, Vermont

Don't be fooled! While this may look like a "shack in the woods", the food is fantastic! The menu, at first, appears to be standard diner fare. Once our dishes started arriving, however, we noticed they were definitely a cut above what you'd normally expect! I got the steak and eggs: it was cheap and it was delicious and it was cooked exactly as specified. They also had a bunch of VT beers on tap but...it wasn't 5 o'clock somewhere yet when we were there, so we didn't get any. read more

Delicious breakfast! I love the country fried steak and grilled cornbread nice view of the river too read more

We have been visiting this establishment for years! The food has been enjoyed by "ALL" of our out of state friends and relatives! Best Breakfast Ever! The chicken fried steak with sausage gravy is the most unbelievable delicious decadent I have eaten in the Northeast! Our granddaughters favorite the chocolate chip pancakes! Eggs Benedict is on top of the list also! THE GOLDEN TICKET-would be for the TATOR TOTS! Will be eating there tomorrow with relatives-we go there so often that they already know our drink orders! We r able to lounge and eat at our leisure-never rushed to finish! ALL of the employees r so friendly and attentive! Love this out of the way diner! read more

Enjoyed a very well-balanced burger. I didn't think I'd be able to eat the entire burger and before I knew it, I did! The brioche bun kept it light, giving it the perfect balance to a huge patty. To my surprise, I did not feel overstuffed. I ordered it cooked "medium" and it was cooked to perfection. Thanks for a great experience- worth the drive from the highway on our way to Burlington. read more

Food is hot and good. Prices are good. Love they are open early for breakfast. Waiters are polite and friendly. It's clean and plenty of parking. read more

Stopped for a late lunch while traveling because of others' reviews we took a chance. We ordered burgers, perfect. Waitress was extremely pleasant. We sat by the windows along the back wall, the view was beautiful. To others don't hesitate stop for a meal you're going to enjoy. read more

A small restaurant on a state road in central Vermont that you might not think was much, but it's definitely worth your time. We sat by the windows overlooking the Moose River, and it was peaceful and relaxing. I had the pulled pork, and it was good and tender. My wife had a hamburger, but the patty was juicy. Not a bad thing, but when placed directly on the bun, the bread soaks up those juices making it too soggy to hold. Had the lettuce been on the bottom bun with the patty on top of that, it would have been a better experience. Instead, she ended up eating it with a knife and fork. The burger had a good flavor, though. Our server (unfortunately, her name has escaped me) was very good: patient, helpful, personable, and attentive. We would love to stop in again the next time we're in the area. read more

We had the skillet breakfast and I have to say it was one of the best breakfast we've ever had.... The potatoes are amazing the toast is amazing and my eggs with vegetables were fabulous... we will be back read more

If I could rate it higher I would. Our truck broke down across the street 4 hours from home, we walked in to sit and figure out our plan. The staff here were incredibly friendly and hospitable. They told us to stay as long as we needed to figure out our ride and tow situation. We continued to order food and drinks over the course of more than 7 hours. Everything was fantastic! The Poutine was phenomenal and the Strawberry Shortcake alone is worth stopping in. A lovely spot in what seems like the middle of nowhere. Definitely worth stopping in!!! read more

Both in my party ordered burgers and they were great. The menu had many great options that we would like to try, so we will visit again if we find ourselves in area again. Our server was good, efficient and accurate. The overall experience was fine, but not welcoming enough to grab 5 stars, perhaps we caught some of the staff on an off day and next time I will give them 5 of 5, they were only a little short read more

During a road trip we happened upon this little diner . So glad we did. Everything exceeded all of our expectations . Service was great, food was great and the view is amazing . Desserts were super as well. I would 100% recommend stopping here! read more

The route home from the middle of nowhere in New Hampshire took me through the middle of nowhere in Vermont. Passing Mooselook Diner made me realize I was getting hungry; and a quick look at the map showed no other restaurants on my route for miles. Mooselook looked kind of cute and rustic, and reviews mentioned the lovely views of the river below. Inside is less rustic, with what looks like new booth-style tables in a small dining area. The bar area has tables and a window wall that overlooks the wooded area and river below. Snow covered the ground and most of the river. Given its name is Mooselook, I was disappointed I didn't see one. :) The menu was pretty standard--burgers, wraps, pulled pork. Nothing really excited me except the bourbon burger with onions caramelized with Vermont maple syrup. Still a burger felt too heavy for the long drive ahead so I opted for the New England Clam Chowder. I've had plenty of chowda in my day as it's one of my favorites. This was a bit different. The broth was thinner than I'd come to expect and I braced myself for a disappointing first bite. Instead, the unique flavor surprised me; and as I continued to eat, I realized the chowder was loaded with more clam bits than I've ever had before. The chowders I've previously tasted were thick and creamy. Seems to me now that it may have been to mask the lack of substance. Because Mooselake's broth is thinner, they make up for it with lots of chunks of clams and potatoes. Instead of the hint of sweetness I expected, there was a bit of a kick to the chowder which I immediately noticed on the first bite. Different and AMAZING! I'd be remiss to not mention my young server. I want to say Justine...? This girl emitted such a happy, positive vibe. She seemed to love her job and her customers and is a true asset to the restaurant. She was so good, I left her a $4 tip on a $6 bill. (Yes, the bowl of soup was only $6, but burgers and club sandwiches were $12 and $10, respectively.) Before I left, I was asked to write my name and contact info for COVID tracing. That freaked me out a little. I rarely eat out right now. Is this normal or are they experiencing cases in their establishment? I appreciate them trying to be responsible, however, in the event of an outbreak. read more

we've been there several times, the last time was over Columbus Day weekend - great, generous breakfast portions that tasted great - A couple years ago, for dinner, again - great tasting, good sized meals, which is why we've been several times whenever we are in that part of Vermont (or close by in NH) read more

Mooselook Diner - the menu for the restaurant - Diners Near Me - Concord, Vermont

Was a great dinner, but we always have good dinners at Moose Look. They have prime rib on Friday and Saturday fantastic great price if you're going to dinner make sure you make a reservation with the prime rib those very quickly read more

We stopped in on a Friday night. We had wanted to check this place out as we had heard many good things. The decor was nothing special. The food was very average. The service was also average. A good place to fill up for a reasonable price. read more

I ate here today with my wife. We timed it so she could get breakfast and I could get lunch. Our seat was next to a window overlooking the Moose river which was nice. Food and service were both excellent. read more

Oh my! This place was recommended to us. And it's certainly worth the stop! You won't walk away hungry!

Welcoming atmosphere. Good selection of foods with the right choices of preparations offered. I also appreciate the options for smaller portions. Generally a good vibe. read more

First time here last night. I was pleasantly surprised the entire place has been remodeled, it is very clean and has a great decor. Friendly service and an extensive menu. I had the wings and the smothered steak tips. I would recommend both. I will be back to sample some more on the menu. Great job! read more

Sorry but this place sucked. Sorry to be blunt, but it was not as other yelpers have written. It's a dirty restaurant in the woods. Nothing we had tonight was good. We had the corn chowder, French onion soup, meatloaf, and all you can eat fish fry. The soups were awful. The fish overlooked like leather. The homemade fries were like soggy and greasy burned nastiness. Meatloaf was eh and came with instant mash and canned green beans. All this for $30 . Yep. So be warned. They did have pickled fried tripe and maple cream pies on the menu But who cares they blew their chance. Not going back. Place was way dirty too. Fountain iced tea was nasty too. Have not been to a place this bad in a long time. read more

Mooselook Diner does not look like a typical diner. Although it doesn't have a diner atmosphere, it has home cooking, a nice view and great service. Brooke, our server was pleasant and cheerfully accommodated every special request that our family had. She definitely went above and beyond the call of duty. Nachos, burgers, fish, salad and pasta were all very good. The French Fries were amazing. The restaurant was immaculate, the outdoor seating area was closed because of the stormy weather. Glad we found Mooselook Diner, it was a pleasurable stop after a long day of driving in the pouring rain. Check out the Mooselook gift items, from t-shirts to hand-painted decorative saws, you may find just the right souvenir. read more

I was in the area visiting a friend and passed by this diner shortly after I had just been thinking about eating at a diner as I was driving. I turned around and had to check it out. I'm very glad that I did as the staff was friendly and great. The pulled pork sandwich I had was delicious. I would recommend you dine here if you're in the area. You won't regret it. read more

My go to place in the area. I know they'll be open with a broad menu and the food and service will be excellent! I always leave feeling like I got my more than I paid for. read more

Love watching this new business grow. Looking forward to our next meal. Great atmosphere, service and atmosphere.

Luckily a local guided us here or we may have passed right by. Home made pea soup, very good burger and excellent fried mushrooms! We did not have room for fresh deserts but they looked great too. Clean and "cozy" on the inside so just pass right through the unpaved parking area and the "rustic" front to be treated to friendly service and bargain prices. If we lived in the area this would be a regular stop of ours. read more

Mooselook Diner - Local made bird houses in window - Diners Near Me - Concord, Vermont

Terrific diner in a beautiful location with wonderful views. Lots of options on the menu. I had the Hunters Bourbon Burger with fries. Burger was big and delicious. Fries were plentiful and tasty. Opened with an appetizer of onion rings that hit the spot. Ordered a lava cake to go and it did not disappoint. Off the beaten path, but a gem of a place to eat. Service was excellent and prices reasonable. read more

Oh yeah, nothing like a little Mooselook while home in Vermont. The food is actually really good here and so is the service. I've never been here when this place it isn't jam packed. Don't let the outside fool ya. Or the inside for that matter. Locals are really nice and you'll enjoy your meal here. Lots of fried seafood options, sandwiches and burgers. Definitely a Northeast style menu, which I miss so much in Texas!!! For those of you not from the area, this is located literally right off of Rt 2 so it's very easy to find. Annnd, depending on the time of year you are visiting, there is a real-life moose weigh-in station around the corner that you can check out during moose season! How much more VT can you get?Have fun lookin' but don't forget that moose are huge, so be sure to watch out for them on the road and on the trails... PS- Vermont is awesome. Enjoy it, but please don't trash it! read more

I had some of the best whole grain blueberry pancakes at this restaurant the other day. It doesn't look like much of a place but the people come in at a steady stream. The nice waitress worked the whole room with no problems. It was worth the trip with specials daily. We will be back to maybe try the haddock on Friday nights :) read more

Mooselook Diner - Diners Near Me - Concord, Vermont

If you are looking for haute cuisine and a candle-lit atmosphere, better not stop here. However, if you are looking for a great local restaurant that serves down home eats in good proportion, this is definitely your place. The staff is friendly, quick, attentive and doing whatever needs to be done to keep the place humming. They serve breakfast (haven't made it for breakfast yet), lunch and dinner. If you are in the area, this is a must do. The locals love it! read more

So the New Moose Look is open! Beautiful inside & out & so clean. The food however was not the highlight. First it was prime rib night starting @4pm & by our 6:30 reservation none left! I'm okay with paying more when the portions equal the cost. Hubby got the fried clams all 10 of them, I got the raw steak tips, less raw the 2nd time around but still raw. Green beans were totally mushy! & just gross! Okay, the Fiddle Head beer was yummy as were the fries! They took my dinner off the bill & we still paid over $40! That's 4 bucks a clam! Yep, made me really miss the old place, won't be going there again anytime soon! And no peanut butter pie! read more

We have travelled Rt 2 from NJ to NH for 14 years. Have eaten here before and it was always good. First time since the renovation and WOW! The place is just beautiful inside and out. Staff was great and breakfast was excellent (I had their homemade corned beef hash and my husband had their Tots skillet with sausage gravy). Both excellent. We love a poached egg which is fun because they are often over cooked. Not here. They were perfection! All the best for much success to this spot. We will be back for sure! PS the coffee is great. Yeah that's super important. read more

Staying at a local inn and always in search of 'liver with onions and bacon'. Something not readily available on most menus. It was on this one and is why we came. It was very tasty and french fries were awesome. Husband had a hot turkey sandwich with mashed potatoes and lots of gravy. Great comfort food experience, friendly staff and nice river view. read more

Love this place! Can't afford to go out to eat often (their prices are low and portions are huge!) but when I do I go here. Their breakfast and dinners are great but my favorite meal to get here is the turkey club. Fresh turkey breast not that deli meat stuff. Amazing, can't wait to go again soon! Oh and always get their home made bread for toast and sandwiches...it's fabulous! read more

Wife and I drove from Eden Vermont to Concord because of the good reviews. Food was Ok, I had the Captains platter, the whole belly clams were small and not much in the belly department, scallops were acceptable, overall just OK. My Wife had what was called sea scallops, small and not the type you get on the New England coast, doubt they were native more likely imported and previously frozen. The problem that I found out two days later was they changed my tip amount. on a $32.98 bill. I paid with credit card and added a $7.02 tip to bring the total to $40.00, later to find out they changed it to a $10.00 tip and charge was $42.98. If you choose to dine here pay with cash to avoid this criminal activity!!! read more

This place is nothing special to look at, and the 'truckers welcome' sign may dissuade some. That would be too bad, because this is a great local diner type restaurant. The prior reviewer was absolutely on target, and "diamond in the rough" was going to be my tag line, too. While the appearance may be rough, it is actually a welcoming atmosphere, that would be fine for families or women. They also cater to seniors, and have several choices for quieter appetites at reduced prices. Don't overlook their desserts, including maple cream pie. I think it is a solid four and a half. read more

Our breakfast staple when we are back in the Vermont area. Authentic food at great prices, can't beat that. Always ask for the "real" syrup and not the "fake" stuff. You locals know what i'm talking about. :) read more

Good food for a reasonable Price. This is my Grandmothers favorite restaurant. We would go here for just about every birthday if it was up to her. read more
