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.

Great place to meet friends for a catch up meal or just drinks. I got the maple burger and it was…read moredelicious. Not super maple but just enough flavor to it. I also subbed for sweet potato fries as well. Apps we got the egg rolls and the fried pickles. Both arrived super hot but both really good. Usually pickles are ok chips but these were the spears which was cool. We sat outside which I prefer as the inside is usually really dark . Will always stop in

I came here on a whim just a half hour before they closed for the night. The band was winding down…read morebut the bartender was more than happy to pour us our drinks. 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.

I would like to respond to the recent poor rating from someone who chose to air their…read moredissatisfaction while hiding behind an avatar, as opposed to speaking directly to management at this wonderful lunch and dinner venue. Diane, John, and their crew of dedicated employees, opened this restaurant in the summer of 2020, in the middle of an international pandemic, and still managed to rise to the top as a fantastic, family-oriented, slow food restaurant in a small town with several well established restaurants as its base. Their idea was grounded in the "simple" grilled cheese sandwich, reimagined in some delightfully tasty presentations. The menu is modest and, other than seasonal specials, is steadfast in its design! I have eaten there more times than I can count and have YET to experience any deviation from the quality they presented at the outset! How many restaurants can attest to that, alone? The atmosphere is homey (it is a former home in a lovely neighborhood), the service is top-notch and the food is delicious. The management attends to every table at least once during your stay (so there was ample opportunity for this customer to express any concerns to the person in the best position to correct any issues), and the staff consists of community members who are our friends, neighbors, or children thereof. So special is this space, the youth servers appear every spring in their prom-best to have their pictures taken with Diane and John! How special is that???!!!! This is a team that places community at the center of their work: even facilitating massive community fundraising efforts post-flood, 2024 and 2025! If you live in this area, you already know what a gem this place is. If you are visiting, put a night out (or lunch) on your "must do" list while exploring Barre's rich granite industry history. If you haven't made Barre a stop on your journey, run, don't walk and see what the buzz is all about! See you at The Meltdown!

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!!!

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!

My friend and I went to the Quarry on Wednesday and it was some of the worst service I've ever had…read more The waitress was not the problem, the problem was that she was the ONLY one working in service and it was decently busy. Plus the food was not good either. The artichoke dip was really buttery and the burger that I got wasn't cooked right, super greasy and the bun was soaked. The Mac and cheese with pulled pork tasted like absolutely nothing and the cherry on top was that the door handle didn't work... and the girl working was NOT the problem, she was great for all the work she was doing. Don't recommend!!!

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.
