This is one some can easily miss, but should definitely stop in. That burger was by far the best burger I ever had. I told my boyfriend that this is the meal I want as my last meal! We also had the mozzarella sticks and the marinara is awesome, and we had the onion rings which are made exactly as onion rings should be! They also have a state of the art "non-taps" beer system which is amazing! I'm so glad that we visited this restaurant. Thank you to the family who runs this for great service and great food!

They are doing a wonderful job, and I am so, so glad they didn't come and go like the other restaurants in that spot before it. You probably knew that from the other reviews, but I have another reason I am writing this. I came here with my husband one night months ago, and he got a cocktail that had cherry and bourbon as the main flavors. I stole most of it from him :D. It was so good that every time I get another cocktail somewhere else, even if it is good, I just wish it was the cherry bourbon one. So, if you're there and they still have it on the menu, I suggest you get it. And if the establishment is reading this, my vote is to keep that one around.

We dropped by here for dinner. The INN is really gorgeous, and the restaurant was smaller than…read moreexpected and intimate. We ordered the antelope Swedish balls, French onion soup, and firecracker beef. Most of the food wasn't great - the antelope Swedish meatballs were the best of the 3. The French onion soup had too much thyme and a very watery broth. The firecracker beef was offensive!! It has a warning that it's very spicy (which is true), but it was a really strange dish! I expected an Asian inspired spicy beef dish over rice, but we got a hot sauce drenched rice bowl. Allegedly there was beef in it, but there was really no texture or flavor other than hot sauce! To clarify to the owner comment - we did tell our server we didn't like it, and that it was not due to the spice - it was due to the gross flavor. She simply said "oh I haven't heard that one" and did not offer to take it off the bill or replace it. Now the drinks and desserts were fantastic! We loved our seasonal cocktails, and we ordered two desserts and polished them off. The maple chomeur was drenched in sauce and so good - we actually poured the remaining sauce over our apple warm too! I loved the fresh apples in the tart since there was some texture. Service was also very good from the front desk to our server.

During a recent ski trip to Jay Peak, my group and I visited this cozy local restaurant with high…read morehopes, given the limited dining options in the area. Overall, it offered a unique experience, though not without a few drawbacks. To start, the appetizers were fantastic. We shared the beef tartare, mussels, and crab rangoon. The beef tartare stood out for its flavor, though the accompanying baguette was slightly stale. Despite that, the appetizers were the highlight of the meal. For soup, we sampled the French onion, which was met with mixed reviews--decent, but not particularly memorable. The main courses included kangaroo, venison, fish and chips, and duck. While the chef's talent for creating flavorful dishes was evident, all the meats were unfortunately overcooked. This may have been due to the challenge of preparing multiple meals at once, as we were informed that there was only one chef in the kitchen. The restaurant itself boasts a charming and homey ambiance that enhances the dining experience. Service was friendly and accommodating, with no issues on that front. A standout feature of the menu was the inclusion of kangaroo--a rare find, especially in Vermont. While it's worth trying for the novelty, be prepared for its distinctively high iron content, which imparts a metallic flavor that may not appeal to everyone. In conclusion, this restaurant offers a unique and enjoyable experience despite a few missteps. The friendly service and cozy atmosphere make it a worthwhile stop for those visiting the Jay area. Just keep in mind that the kitchen's limitations may impact larger parties or more complex orders. If you're feeling adventurous, give the kangaroo a try--you likely won't find it anywhere else nearby!

It's situated right in the heart of Main St across from the iconic steepled church and offers a wonderful breakfast.

So tasty and paired well with the syrup! Definitely put this on your list. The interior is so cozy and inviting like you're sitting in your family's dining room!

Didn't have a reservation and there were plenty of open tables. Not a huge menu, but got a Caesar salad, little neck clams, and a side of tallow fried Brussels sprouts. They all came out at once, which was a little odd because I would've preferred the salad first. The Caesar salad was extremely large, you could easily share it between two if not three people. The croutons were good. The romaine was very white/stems though, I prefer more of the leafy green part but this was pretty much all crunch white stems. The clams were alright but I would've preferred the Cajun garlic white wine sauce, not the creamy tomato sauce they make it with now. The clams were all opened but most of them were not warm besides the bottom ones in the sauce. The Brussels sprouts was a tiny portion and very dried out. Certainly not worth the $9 for a side. They had no flavor either, it's like they had been cooked earlier in the day and just sat under the heater or re heated. Service was fine. This would've been around a 3 star experience, as I left with a pretty mediocre impression, however less than a few hours later I started feeling very sick and got diarrhea and started vomiting. I rarely vomit, I don't have a sensitive stomach. The clams must've been bad and I shouldn't have eaten lukewarm clams. This made for a horrible evening. I was excited to try this place due to the good reviews but it went from disappointing to downright disastrous.

It was a gorgeous day and we were able to sit outside, which I really enjoyed. They were umbrellas above us, which were much needed when it started to drizzle! I enjoyed the waiter, although my wife did not. He talked a lot and everything I asked him was his favorite. It didn't seem genuine. Especially when the table sat down next to us and everything they wanted or was his favorite too. We were disappointed that the one thing we wanted on the menu was not available for food. They're mocktails were a normal price and their cocktails were a little pricey, but well worth it for the craft that they were doing. I enjoyed both of the cocktails that I had, although was disappointed that they didn't have the monkey brains cocktail that I wanted anymore. Overall, it was a cute place and I'd probably go back to have a cocktail.

The only pool hall I'm aware of in the area, this place is a wonderful way to spend a night…read more The owner of the establishment, Van Phan is a one-woman show. She runs the bar, manages the pool hall, makes some seriously mean drinks, and will often grab a cue herself and kick some butt on her high-end pool tables. Apparently she's the state champ, and with good reason. It's a pay-by-the-hour (or by-the-game?) location, and you can easily spend an entire night with your friends for relatively cheap, depending on how much you drink. A bit of a warning though, while her drinks are great, she's VERY generous with the alcohol and the drinks are huge for the price, so brace yourself. All in all, if I had more thumbs, it'd be 10 thumbs up! PS: Heads up, it's kinda hidden behind some other buildings, so it's a tad difficult to find. Just keep driving around the back loop until you see neon signs.
