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.

My wife is a big burger fan (FYI: she raved about her burger, too), so I decided to try the place out, since we were in the area. Bit hard to locate, but parking was fine. Since the weather was good, we ate outside. There is both open air & tent-covered seating options. Speaking of seating - you must memorize your table # BEFORE going inside to order as meals are delivered to your table. I ordered the "Big Daddy M": 6oz beef, medium-cooked, with Bayley Hazen blue cheese, caramelized onions, bacon bits, garlic aioli, bibb lettuce and red onions. What a heavenly, savory combination. Each bite was full of flavor. And the French Fries? Well, super tasty as well - I ate every potato fried crumb. At other places, fries are usually bland, but not here. The order service inside was pleasant and quick; be sure to note the chalk board with a list of food options (e.g. my Wife ordered a custom burger, just the way she wanted). After ordering we went back outside to our #'d table - wait for the food was relatively quick. When done eating, just leave your baskets, etc. on the table (there is a sign stating this practice). Note: while I did not have kids here, there were plenty of families with young kids & toddlers. I definitely want to try this place a 2nd time.

And then you had to hope there was an available table once you got your food. NO room to move around and order a drink at the bar while you wait.

The only issue is the hump in the dining room floor and the lean of the building walking to the restroom. If you know, you know. The food was prepared with pride. The Clam Chowder was some of the best I have ever had. It was probably top three. I had the Chicken Pesto sandwich which was good. Good flavor but a little dry. The French Fries were plentiful and good. My wife had the burger which was prepared at a medium well. Very good taste and meat to bun ratio. (Ditto on the fries). The remainder of our party had the Meatloaf with mash and the Salmon. Both stated the food was really good. If in the area, definitely give this place a try.

It make the kiddos happy especially when they do their own builds -- a pesto base for one kiddo, marinara for the other. In years past, we had issues with over-salting and over-cheesing. Not this time around. Salads are a bit meh and small and overpriced for what they are, but ah well. I never seem to remember the lesson!

Not too shabby! My…read morehusband and I were trying to find a place that was opened since so many places were either closed or the wait was too long! Thankfully this place had a bar, so the wait wasn't bad... we even talked to another patron who was also waiting; he was extremely kind and we had a great conversation! Parking was easy and the lot is a fairly decent size. Staff was extremely busy, so it took a little time to actually order to go (we weren't in any rush!). The restaurant is definitely a locals' spot where people hangout or takeaway. The pizzas are quite large and what we ordered was pretty good! We definitely had left overs. I can't say it was the best pizza we had, but it definitely helped the cravings. *THE PIZZA-PIZZA: Red Sauce, Pepperoni, Mushrooms, Sausage, Green Bell Peppers, Red Onion: Big (16") $27.

From the skateboard wheel doorknobs to the ski masks behind the register to the chalkboard menus, Mad Taco has strong alternative vibes. The punk rock/ classic hip-hop soundtrack playing made this Xennial's little 90's heart happy. Other reviews are accurate when they say the tacos are absolutely packed with meat! My partner had the carnitas and I had the Colorado tacos with house mole sauce. SO good, I think this might be my fave mole sauce ever. He has food allergies; the staff were very knowledgeable and helpful in helping us know what was safe for him to order. We got the queso special as an appetizer... delicious and well-balanced. Def could've used more tortilla chips, as others noted, but that would've left less room for tacos. Finally, we got the tortilla soup. It had quite a smoky flavor and contained jalapeño slices, somewhat heavy on the spice. It had lots of chicken as compared to commercial soups. Smoky soups are not our thing. But for folks who are into that sort of thing, don't skip it! We liked the farm-to-table sourcing they advertised. The quality ingredients show through in everything they make. Also, the patio is dog-friendly; they even have dog bowls available outside. Glad our friends in the area recommended Mad Taco-- this place is the real deal!

We split a special and the Ahi Tuna Tostada, which was tasty, although I wish the tuna portion was less meager. Smoked wings were decent and were spiced differently than others that I've had.

Like many bars in the area, the beer selection is really fucking good (it's a Heady Topper source). I'm currently in love with Lawson's Sip of Sunshine and they had it on tap so it was going to be hard for me not to enjoy the place after that. When we came in one night and I wanted wine, I was surprised to find that I really liked the white the bartender (who was super nice) poured for me. He didn't have much of a red selection, but the white was so good I'll forgive them. The best part of this bar, though, is the availability of both foosball and darts. There are two dart boards and darts hanging out in the main room but if you want a nicer set you should check with the bartender and be nice- much better quality darts. It appears that they don't do food anymore, but they did have a French bulldog running around at one point which is much better than food. The Hostel is also one of the pickup places for the local free bus which was also super convenient. So even if you aren't staying there or right next door feel free to get your drink on, call the bus driver, and get a free ride home.

Coming from 2 hostels on this side of the US with more influx of guests, I was confused by why there were no signs on how to enter for check-in or a reminder of lobby hours. There was nothing in front saying guests should go to the back to enter but yet there are steps leading to a front door that I later found out is always locked. No instructions on how to locate the lobby in the email either. I stayed in a 8-bed dorm room above the restaurant and check-in office. The room faces the road so you'll hear road noise since the one window is left open for the portable air conditioner. There was another dorm room right behind. Light sleepers will need an earplug. The bathroom was very clean, colorful, and had modern, cute features. Other things to note: - Not sure there is a shuttle (common with other hostels in the region) - Not sure there are lockers - There are bedside lights by every bed and power outlets are on the bottom bunks only. - The dorm room had a ceiling fan and portable air conditioner - There was Body wash in the shower but no shampoo or conditioner. - There are 2 or 3 toilets and 1 shower upstairs in that building. - The kitchen fridge is cute but small in size for the number of beds. - There are 2 living/sitting rooms - There are some board games available - There is a restaurant on-site. - A brew of coffee is made every morning. - There was no stove to cook

The hostess was great, the waiter we got was really friendly, knowledgeable and the food recommendations were FANTASTIC. We got the chicken wings with pickled carrots and house ranch, the side of pulled pork, their Pig Mac burger (a double) and their duck fat French fries (OMG). Everything was good, we would just look at each other and say "did you try this, did you have a bite of that?" my only regret is that I didn't get a chance to try their skillet cookie and that we live more than an hour away.

We knew this was the right pig out spot for us to refuel from the moment we walked in, smelled the food and saw the amazing ceiling-high bar. The smoked meats were outstanding. High quality cuts smoked to perfection. We had an order of every meat they offer and they were all just as good. That being said, I could go back just for the cornbread w maple butter. My word, it was like eating cake for dinner. The Mac & cheese was ooey and gooey with a nice crispy top. And the cookie skillet was like a party in your mouth. We didn't think we'd be able to finish everything but there wasn't a crumb to be found when we were done. As far as service goes, it was as good as I've ever had at a place like this. Our server was laid back yet always on top of things. We never waited for anything and her timing was perfect. There's outdoor seating if that's your jam. We sat in the large table by the window and got to look out on main st. It couldn't have been more perfect.
