    Wings
    Shane M.

    I'm rating it 4 stars just for the wings alone. AMAZING WINGS!! Great sports bar in Stowe along with solid cheesesteaks. That's all I've ordered there so far but it's all I may need to order lol Decent beer selection, pool, Big Buck Hunter Pro, 10 TV's, and a laid back vibe.

    Potato skins with spicy dipping sauce

    The greeter was so cheerful and he also seated us and took our order by memory and I thought gosh, I already like this place, but then the food came out and sadly none of it was memorable. The nightly special of a half rack of ribs needed more sauce as all you could taste was smoke char. I flipped them over to see what was going on and they were beyond burnt, even the bone tips were black. The nightly special pulled pork sandwich was bland and definitely benefited from the added flavor of the coleslaw. Both the wings and potato skins were also surprisingly lacking in flavor, although the spicy dipping sauce for the skins was good. Probably a good place to come to for a drink or to play pool or an arcade game as the atmosphere is lively, just skip the food.

    Great food and EXCELLENT service! We were stuck with 1 hour+ waitlists at other nearby restaurants and were lucky to find this hidden treasure.

    I don't like having to leave this review, but if you ever find yourself in Stowe and your not local, your business is neither appreciated nor wanted. Avoid this place. Service was slow. Many tables and chairs were reserved for locals that weren't even there. I found one stool empty at the end of the bar that hadn't been cleaned up yet from the previous patron and asked the 2 women sitting there if it was available. They said it was so I sat down and waited. And waited. And waited. The bar is L shaped and I wanted a beer and some of the taps were on the other section so I got up to go see what selections were available. Maybe 30 seconds. When I got back to the seat one of the employees was cleaning the bar where I was sitting. So I sat down. He told me that the seat was taken. To which a small argument followed when I said I've been sitting here waiting for 10 minutes for service. I only got up to go look at the taps. He then tells me that there was a couple that's been sitting where I was for the last 3 hours and that I couldn't have been sitting there and even so, there's another couple that's been waiting 2 hours for those seats. He then pointed to the other section of the bar and told me to go sit over there. So I did, while moving the reserved sign out of the way. The couple sitting next to that seat were locals and told me those seats have been reserved and empty for several hours. The guy that told me to move seems to be a manager or maybe the owner. Don't know, don't care. He's got an attitude problem and doesn't hide it. I did finally get a beer from the Female bar tender. She was much more pleasant to deal with but still slow. They only seem to want to cater to locals and the visitors can just go somewhere else. Also, the beer I wanted to try, they were out of.

    My husband and I decided to stop at a Rimrock Mountain Tavern. They had a beer battered cod sandwich special. The sandwich was topped with coleslaw, cheese, lettuce, and tomato. The fish was cooked perfectly and the flavor was amazing. My husband had the Tavern Burger and said it had a wonderful grilled flavor and was high quality meat. Our server was friendly and attentive. The manager also stopped by several times to chat an make sure things were okay. The restaurant was clean and attractive. I would recommend it if you are near Stowe VT

    Disrespectful or understaffed establishment. Better off making a reservation at The Bench for adequate service and food.

It was the busiest place in town for a Sunday night. The burger was cooked exactly as requested. It didn't come with fries so I ordered the barbecue chips and dip.

    Unexpectedly great food, but some of the rudest service I've experienced in a long time…read more I stopped in recently and the kitchen absolutely delivered: everything was hot, well-seasoned, and honestly far better than I expected for a casual spot. Unfortunately, that's where the positives end. From the moment we sat down, the attitude from behind the bar set the tone in the worst way. The older woman tending bar was openly dismissive, rolled her eyes at simple questions about the menu, and made us feel like we were inconveniencing her every time we ordered a drink or asked for something basic like water or silverware. No greeting, no smile, and zero effort to be even minimally polite. At one point she dropped drinks in front of us without a word and walked away before we could even ask for what was missing. It's a shame, because the kitchen clearly cares, but the experience at the bar completely overshadowed how good the food was. If ownership ever addresses the front-of-house attitude, this could be a fantastic place, but until then, be prepared for excellent plates paired with some truly miserable service.

Luckily we got seat straight away. We had one salad, one veg pizza and one sushi ordered and fist 2 item came pretty soon. We really liked both salad and pizza. Vegetables felt so fresh and taste was amazing. Sushi came after a while and it was little fancy as it was lit on the table to cook inside food. Taste was good but slightly burnt feeling because of fire. I will try other one next time. Interior is nice and have lot of space. We were seated on covered patio and next to us was a small stream flowing, that was nice touch. Enough of parking is available outside and it's free.

We really look forward to long bike rides or runs in Stowe followed by dinner outside by the water at the Matterhorn, but our last two experiences were full of disappointment. The service was not as we remembered and the staff generally did not seem happy to be there and it was not busy at all. It's such a great menu and we love the setting by the river in the summer (occasional bear sightings too). We may give you another try in the spring, and we hope that you read your reviews and take action as such. Here's to improvement!
