I don't have anything negative to say about this restaurant. They have an extensive vegan and vegetarian selection. The portions are generous and delicious. The restaurant has awesome hip decor for bikers. The service is fast. The staff are courteous and helpful. Highly recommended.

Advice: Add hot sauce and salt b/c these nachos look good but need flavor!

Ranch Camp is a cool little restaurant and bicycle repair shop combo -- for real! I just wish the food was as good as the overall vibe and the amazing service we received. Let's start with what we enjoyed during our visit: the drinks were good... the atmosphere was cool (more like a contemporary "cabin" vibe, which was definitely inviting)... and the staff were all stellar!! Where Ranch Camp let us down on this visit was the food. In fact, we desperately wanted to love the experience because everything LOOKED fantastic. However, all the food we ordered was bland. It all started with the pork nachos, which our party of 3 ordered as an appetizer. It was piled high and dripping with ingredients... but the dish completely lacked flavor. The pork was perfectly tender but tasted flavorless (until I added hot sauce and salt). I would also recommend they serve the dish with pico de gallo or salsa to boost the flavor. We had the same feeling with the burrito bowls. Two of us ordered different burritos (opting for bowls instead of tortillas), and we both thought the flavor was just okay. And on top of that, both of our bowls were lukewarm. In fact, the entrées weren't even hot enough to melt the cheese. I wish I would have sent the food back, but we were in a bit of a hurry. Finally, my friend James ordered the Chicken Quesadilla, which he also thought was "just okay." Oh, and we noted that a table near us sent back food... so not sure what was up with that, but we we weren't surprised based on our overall experience. Final Thoughts: Prior to visiting Ranch Camp, I read plenty of reviews praising the restaurant, so I'd like to think that they were just having a bad day.

Fried chokes
Shelby A.

This was a unique dinner experience for sure. It had ample gluten free options which is why we went here. It was pretty slow for a Friday so we were seated almost instantly. The restaurant is inside of a bike shop which is pretty cool in itself. We started off with some nachos and fried chokes. I had artichokes but omg these were so crunchy and delicious. The nachos were stacked and loaded each chip as nachos should be. Although I wish they out the sour cream and guacamole on the side instead of drizzled on top. Their pork belly tacos were delicious just so messy. The corn with each bite literally was all over my lap and the table. Good just not a graceful meal to eat. I ordered their crunch wrap which was good but the portion was huge. Two people could easily split one. We also ordered the adult chicken tenders and fries. Which idk what they do to the fries here but you MUST HAVE THE FRIES! They are super seasoned and crunchy and just mouth watering goodness. The chicken tenders were super crisp and well flavored too. Next time I'm so ordering the chicken tenders and fries. The T-bowl looked great but the guest in our party who ordered it barely ate it for some reason. 10\10 for food. Service is a bit slow here so be patient. The prices are not bad for the food quality either. My only complaint is the parking lot behind the building is a bit tight with a larger vehicle.

Buffalo Cauliflower and side of fries
Heather R.

Split the fries, buffalo cauliflower, tofu crunch wrap and beet salad for two for dinner (plus a beer each) and it was the perfect amount of food for dinner plus leftovers! This spot is great. Many beers on tap, in additional to fun canned drinks like hard kombucha. Many vegan/vegetarian options. Everything was incredibly tasty. Easy parking in the back, which has connections to free bike trails that would be fun to explore in the winter. Perfect dinner spot. Also inside the restaurant is a bike shop! 12/10

Chicken tenders
Allie K.

Ranch Camp is highly recommended for gluten free, so we stopped in on a Monday morning for lunch. The restaurant is also a bike shop, which gives a fun vibe. We ordered chicken tenders and the crunch wrap and were told about 15-20 minutes. Unfortunately it took about 30. The crunch wrap was absolutely delicious, and I loved being able to have it gluten free. The chicken was cooked well, and the wrap itself didn't fall apart. Unfortunately, the chicken tenders were burnt and overcooked. I'm betting that's where the extra 10 minutes came in, they were just cooking away in the fryer. The fries were over seasoned and pretty greasy. I'd stick to the "Mexican style" food over the fried things for a better meal. Good for some things, not so great for others, but a great gluten free menu and friendly service!

Mac n cheese

Excellent service and generous portions. We had salads and an order of Mac n cheese. Everything was delicious, we almost finished our meal. Fresh ingredients and Mac n cheese was made from scrat Don't let the bike shop steer you off this hidden treasure.

We had a lovely lunch in Vermont. Server was great, we got a table right away and our server was very attentive. Food took a minute to get there but was worth the wait. Everything was fresh and cooked to order. Kids loved the patio/deck area where they could collect leaves and play for a minute. Everyone left full and happy, thank you!

An excellent choice if you seek outdoor summer dining with wholesome recipes and excellent, attentive service! The falafel burger was crisp, tasty, packed with fresh vegetables and had an exceptionally pleasant texture & mouth-feel. The depth of flavor was incredible for such a humble dish, with notes of nuttiness and fresh herbs complimented by the refreshing tzatziki smeared on the bun were delicious. The ambiance was charming with mountain bikers coming & going and a photo-op ski lift feature in the outdoor dining area.

Chicken Tenders and Fries
Charles D.

GLUTEN FREE FRIED FOOD!!!!!! We got a chicken tenders with fries, Crunchwrap and a kids chicken wrap. Unfortunately, the chicken was over fried, and fries were over seasoned but the fries were yummy!!! The Crunch wrap delicious and had fried cheese blanket around the bottom, and the chicken wasn't over cooked! The Wrap nothing special, woulda been better without overcooked chicken. Def would give it another try and perhaps a one time fluke but not a pleasant experience

Fried Chokes
Heather M.

What I love about Ranch Camp is how vegan friendly it is! It is the perfect fast casual spot for lunch or sharing small plates with veg and non-veg. Right along the rail trail, you will see plenty of folks meet here after a bike ride or hike to enjoy a meal and beer! My absolute favorite is the nachos! This time we went with the Mexican theme also tried the tofu tacos and crunchwrap with tofu. Honestly, they were all super fresh, healthy and delicious, but very much the same. I would recommend diversifying your order and get only of those three (I didn't ask but maybe they can add tofu to the nachos), the Fried Artichokes, and Buffalo Cauliflower. Great local beers on tap! Definitely one of our usual spots to visit in Stowe. If you go when the weather is warm, the outside patio is pup friendly! Updated from previous review on 2024-10-02 Pros: Many options compared to other Stowe restaurants, Dog friendly patio Cons: Ingredients used across dishes, choose wisely

Several friends rented skis from here and had a very smooth experience. They were able to reserve…read morethe gear online and show up to get sized. Pick up and drop off went well and we didn't experience any hiccups. They had a very competitive price for rentals, not only with places in town, but with the ski resort. Shopping wise, they had a great selection of everything you need; balaclavas, hats, gloves, Stowe gear, and all. We got some great finds here! Note: 2 of our guy friends who were sized here were undersized for their boots. The person fitting them focused on the toe mobility, but both people complained about constraints and pain on their calves, even when the latches were at the first buckle. When sizing, consider all parts and ask your helper questions about the overall fit.

Some instructor buddies recommended Pinnacle for a base grind. My daughter has a race this weekend…read moreand a hand tune wasn't going to cut it, but we live in an area where it's tough to get a good tune. Things didn't break right and we weren't able to get them in to leave them over night so we had to come in the day we were rolling out of town. Jack was very understanding and took care to get them turned around for us quickly. Most shops would have hustled it and done a botch job but they came out super slick. Grateful to my buddies for a stellar recommendation and to Jack in the tune shop for living up to it! Thanks again!
