Don't ever ask him. It has nothing to do with being busy. The Bartender Nazi. Many local regulars have completely stopped or rarely go because of his attitude. A customer is an inconvenience to him.

Which could best be described as simply "okay". My friend and I each ordered a signature cocktail which came with very large light up "ice cube" floating inside it. The biggest take away for me was how much they leaned into their cheesy probation era speakeasy vibe. The entire bar is covered in photographs of flappers and gangsters and the seating exclusively consists on plush velvet couches and chairs. I would like to come here again to try some more of their drink offerings and maybe spend more time absorbing their vibe.

Found a nice restaurant in town that was still open! They have several beers on draft! The pumpkin…read morecider was amazing! The staff was super quick. The fried cauliflower with Thai chili was great for an app. I have the steak special. Medium! So good! Perfection! The sides could've been a little bigger but I think they were thinking about plating instead of my stomach which was famished from hiking. Would definitely go again! They also have several TVs to catch the game! My friends got the stuffed baked haddock. It needs a bit of seasoning! Something! Anything! It was a little dry too. :/ but my food was great!

We went here on a Saturday afternoon for a late lunch. I was…read moresuper hungry and opted for the VT burger. It was absolutely delicious. My only complaint is that it was not cooked medium rare as I asked, definitely full on medium. My husband got the straight up burger, and his was good too. The fries were delicious too. I would definitely come back here, particularly when I'm in the mood for a burger! The environment was cozy and perfect for a Vermont winter day. The staff was helpful and pleasant, attentive without being intrusive.

Four stars for the apple and fig sandwich and the tomato soup, since the sandwich was a little sweet and the soup more like a tomato sauce. The owner is so energizing, resilient, and generous with her business and everyone who walks in which, alone, is worth the trip. 5 stars!!!

Stop. Remove all of your preconcieved and stereotypical beliefs about grilled cheese. Good. Now do…read moreeat at this place. It is sooooo good. We started with the soup flight. The tomato soup is excellent. The cheddar ale soup is unforgettable. I would gladly drive hours to have that ale soup again. I can't remember the soup of the day, but I'm sure it was good. The only complaint is the size of the three samples. Too small. I needed more of the ale soup. My daughter had the apple, fig, and brie sandwich (minus the arugula). I had a burger. The food was very very good. We opted for maple syrup (hey, it's VT) and it was the perfect foil to the more savory foods we were eating. Lots of booze options as well. You might inhale when you see the prices for "grilled cheese" but trust me, these are not your run of the mill toasty cheesy sandwiches. Our server, Amy, was fantastic. We loved talking with her and she made sure we had everything we need and had a great experience at the restaurant. Two thumbs way up.

Relatively new restaurant in Barre and it's a nice breath of fresh air from the street stores that…read moreare barely surviving. Aside from Barre Dogs, there's hardly anything to look forward to eating at in Barre. The Quarry I hope is the start of a good turn in Barre business however. The employees they've hired have shown that they're very determined to give the best service they can and it shows. The menu isn't very large, but their portions certainly are. I have a very special place in my heart for any restaurant that sells Calamari. Seeing Calamari on the menu was certainly unexpected and when I saw that they flavor it with buffalo sauce, I nearly soiled myself from delight. I certainly hope this sets a trend for better businesses and adds to a more aesthetically pleasing Barre Main street. Keep it up guys!

Dinner during the Barre Heritage Festival. We were a party of 3. After sitting down, we ordered…read moreordered our drink after finally having a waitress as us after 30 minutes. Then she took our order, we asked for an appetizer, they were out. We then ordered our meals, two burgers and a steak bomb sandwich. After an hour we got our drinks and a new appetizer of spinach artichoke dip, it was mediocre at best. Then came the food 45 minutes later missing French fries and pickles on mine, no pickles for my husband and just a few fries. It too the poor little waitress 30 minutes to find out they ran out of fries about pickles. This is another local restaurant going to crash and burn. The poor 3 top next to us waited over an hour for 3 salads. I spoke with some of the other customers who expressed they wouldn't be returning as we would not. So disappointing.

We had a scallop po-boy and crab cake sammy for lunch, well after lunch rush. Servers were consistently friendly and helpful. Food came out promptly but both lacked taste. Crab cake was 80% breading, mushy. Scallops were hit and darkly crusted , but not tasty. Watermelon salad was good. Despite ordering bevs with food, none arrived till food was 2/3 eaten. Server's initial response was "waiting on the bar", tho they were apologetic after it took another long time. We could see the bartender chatting with customers and wiping things down, so suspect there was a teamwork issue. Seems like this business needs owner's TLC!

Small sports bar with live music with a diverse menu of dishes and flavors…read more Food: I got tater tots, crispy local mushrooms, and a regular burger with American cheese. I also tried some waffle fries. The highlight of the dinner was the fried food. All of it was exceptionally crispy and flavorful: the tots and waffle fries had a hard crusty exterior with fluffy interior. The locals mushroom were a deep fried bunch of oyster mushrooms with a mayo pepper-based sauce drizzled on top. Very juicy and meaty bite! The burger was ok, not my favorite. I asked for it medium and it was closer to well done. The patty was on the drier side and had a charcoal aftertaste that was a bit on the overwhelming side. The bun was also not the freshest. Overall, skip the burger and opt for the fried stuff. Service: Nice and accommodating. Pretty standard. Ambiance: Old school vibes mixed with some modern aspects. Loved the live music playing during dinner.
