We had a couple of fantastic cocktails and mocktails. The watermelon salad was great, as was the burger. A maple creamy was a nice finish to the meal too. The bartender and staff were very charming. We hope to come back in the winter to experience the space upstairs. The garden and the grounds were beautiful; unfortunately, it was drizzly this weekend, otherwise we would have eaten outside. read more

I've tried this place three times now and always it s been a huge let down.The Red Fox must be doing well based on it's charming, cozy and rustic aesthetics.Horrible service especially if they are busy and barely mediocre food which was brought out cold have no clue why the food runner is letting that happen let alone they brought out the appetizers with the main meal way overpriced and not to forget the minimal menu options.Avoid this place if your looking for decent service and a decent meal.They just cant get it together like I mentioned I went three times always the same story! read more

Great bartender. Great people. Great location. Good ambiance. Great property. Food, meh. Value, meh. read more

They said new owners after Covid but have since brought back the old chef. The food was good. We got the chili which was really good. The wings were great. The burgers were good as was the pork chop. The upstairs is a really cool spot that you should take a look at when you are there. We will come definitely come back again. read more

Wish there was a 0 star option. If you're hungry or hoping food will come out 30 minutes after you order, go somewhere else. If you value service, go somewhere else. But if you are looking for luke warm food, a horrible manager and owner, this is your place. We waited over an hour to get appetizers, entrees about another half an hour after that and a few of friends didnt get food till 2 hours later. Both manager and owner was unapologetic and was very hostile. Only saving grace was our waiter Lance, but as good as he was, there was nothing he could do to salvage what horrible experience we had. And to add to the whole experience the damn place was cold and the chairs were literally falling apart. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. read more

Food and drinks way overpriced. My burger was good but very small. Chicken wings were good. Bartender was very friendly . Overall definitely not like use to be. read more

Avoid The Red Fox restaurant at all costs -- even if they offer free meals. Our entire dining experience was miserable. First, there was no heat at the dinning area. We sat in a freezing cold restaurant for over two hours waiting for our food. Yes, two hours -- for a burger and penne vodka. Basic dishes that should not take that long under any circumstances. When we complained about the wait time, the so-called chef/owner, Lucas, was arrogant and rude. Instead of apologizing, he tried to blame us for having expectations about how long food should take. Over two hours for a simple meal is unacceptable, no matter how experienced a chef claims to be, which he clearly has none. If he truly valued his customers, he would have offered a sincere apology for the terrible experience. He did not. We will never return and strongly advise others to stay away. read more

This place has the worst service I've ever experienced. Bring a bottle of Smirnoff and a handgun if you want to make it through the meal. The servers have never worked in a restaurant before, I'm sure of it. Our reservation was at 6:30 and our table wasn't ready until 7:10pm. Lots of confusion somehow. The staff was rude and got our orders wrong. We had to continuously ask for service/ drink orders. Try to avoid eating here at all costs. The only upside is the ambience but not worth it for the experience. PLEASE HIRE MORE/REAL STAFF. read more

Exceptional! Duck Nachos app. Wow. Veil Chop amazing. Bolognese best we had. Everything great. A must go! read more

The Red Fox - Pubs Near Me - Bondville, Vermont

This is one of the worst experience I've had at a restaurant. Service was slow, food took over 1hr and half to be served. The attitude of the manager and boss was what made the experience more unpleasant. Will not recommend this place to anyone! read more

This place is the WORST restaurant I've ever been to. There was no heat when it's zero degrees outside. The appetizer came out 1 hours and the entrees came like 30 minutes later and missing 3 entrees. When we complained the manager "Sara" was so disrespectful and walk away. The owner came out too and he made the matters worst, he was so nasty!! We said we'll file a complaint and let everyone in social media know and share it among everyone we know. He said you're only one customer there would be nothing you can do!!! With this type of attitude, he shouldn't be in the restaurant business!!! The experience is bad, the food is bad and attitude was unacceptable!!! If I can rate it a zero.. I would give it!! read more

Amazing, recently opened and updated tavern/restaurant. Modern flair-meets rustic charm. Fun atmosphere-lots of drink/food options. Local staff go above and beyond to service their clientele. Thanks Red Fox! read more

This was the worst dining experience I have had in 30 years. The employees were rude, inattentive and generally annoyed we were there. I run a business in the same town and have sent hundreds of people there this winter. I am appalled that I recommended this place to anyone. read more

We enjoyed a great meal after skiing at the Red Fox. A warm and inviting atmosphere and great service. Max, behind the bar, made a perfect espresso martini. Will be back! read more

Absolutely awful. We waited for 2.5 hours for a burger and some apps and then was yelled at by the so called owner of the restaurant. If that guy is the owner I have no idea how they stay in business. If I could give a 0 I would. Stay away. If they offer you free food it still is not worth it! The "manager" was so rude and vulgar and did not care our children could hear her bad language. We had high hopes as the property is beautiful but the owner Lucas quickly ruined that for us. Big fat 0 in our book. Make the trip to Manchester this was awful. read more

The food was great and the waitstaff were very kind. The restaurant was nice and cozy. My only complaint is that they can be a little slow. The time it took for another party's food to arrive caused some disruption while I was there. Other than that, it was very good. read more

Great atmosphere - lighting is great -so much brighter than before . Excellent service - we sat at the bar Diana is so welcoming ! We only ordered drinks & appys - wings & charcuterie board - they came out quickly & the board is the best in the area ! Rhubarb Margarita was amazing ! Can't wait for the beer garden to open ! read more

Great place ! cozy and staff is wonderful food was good. Great soups and steak was cooked perfect !

there is no comparison to the red fox that was swallowed up by this red fox. they are not authentic and real. their service is lacking and their menu is a poor attempt at recreating the original. the foxtails and the bar menu cannot be duplicated and are a real disappointment to loyal patrons that have tried to enjoy the new atmosphere. we really miss the fox irish pub. now we have no place to go that makes us feel welcome and happy "to be home." read more

So happy that it's reopened... best atmosphere best music best drinks get up there check it out

love the burger, best fries ever eaten, love the waiters, they are great, has cool vibe to it

The Red Fox Inn offers savory, Vermont comfort food in a charming, historic barn that is a few miles from Stratton, yet remains somehow shielded from stratton douchebaggery. It feels like a decidedly local place, with a quaint upstairs barn dining room and a kick your heels up bar that hosts live music Saturdays. The dining has two tiers if price ranges and food. They have tender venison medalions or pecan crusted brook trout if you're looking for something more upscale. Those ring in on the pricier side at roughly $35. However, you can also stop in for some well priced pub fare such as house meat loaf, fish n chips, or a grass fed burger for around $12-14. The food is reliable, the service is attentive, the beer and wine selection is on point and the mammoth fireplace will be there to greet you and spread warmth over your evening. Tip: if you eat upstairs you don't have to pay cover for music on Saturdays. They serve the pub menu both upstairs and downstairs. read more

As a first time visitor to the Stratton Mountain/Windham County area, this is at the top of my list out of a dozen spots for one of my most spots to grab a drink and food. First off, I was welcomed by friendly staff as soon as I walked in by myself and took a seat at the bar. As it was snowing and I was driving alone, I didn't get a chance to enjoy one of their many drinks, but the people at the bar and restaurant sure seem to enjoy them. But I did get a chance to sample their yummy sweet potato fries and red fox chicken tenders. Both were above par for bar finger foods but I ate all of it not because I was hungry but because it was a comforting meal from being out in the snow. The best though was dessert. I was lucky and smart enough to get their infamous apple pie coupled with ice cream. I could've licked the plate and spoon clean which I probably did. It was that good. Even the President and his staff love this apple pie! I got a chance to meet some of the Logans who own the bar/restaurant/inn and I must say they are good people. Danny, Cindy, and their team went beyond their way to say hello and make me feel at home in a town where I was a visitor. I can see why they have so many locals who continue to go there. Also, they have bands who play music there every weekend and I hear the scene includes dancing, good food and drinks. I hope to be in the area again soon to join in on the fun. read more

Thursday night is $5 burger night. Hell of a deal! Really cool atmosphere downstairs in the pub. Bands certain nights. A little on the pricey side, but that's to be expected in a resort town. Friendly bartenders, good beer selection. read more

The Best. The Very Best. The best clam platters this side of the North Shore. No, wait, as good as, if not better than, anything on the North Shore. Hole belly clams drenched in a to die for batter, fried to perfection. Slaw A+ Great local pub with food to match. read more

The Red Fox - a plate of fried calamails and coleslaw - Pubs Near Me - Bondville, Vermont

Wow. Where to start. We have been coming here for years because it is convenient to Stratton and the setting is cool, but this place is an all time rip off. We've known that for a long time, but last night was a final punch in the face. We called for a reservation and they told us they could only seat us at 5pm. Fine, busy night. But we sat for an hour with zero food in an empty restaurant! They gave us three different versions of the menu (only one was accurate), and the food came out almost ice cold. Our waiter was absolutely clueless and was profusely sweating each time he came to the table. With no dessert and one alcoholic beverage for each of the three adults, the bill for 9 (6 kids - three ate from the children's menu which, btw, is a great call) was $700. Honestly, if you are going here and LOVE the scene at the Red Fox, you are a barbarian. It's a terrible restaurant, with awful service, worse food, but a nice fire and arcade video games. So if you are into Asteroids, a crackling fire and terrible food and worse service, this is the place for you! read more

Great local eating place place with the perfect atmosphere of a New England pub. The waitstaff is great and very optimistic about everything, including your satisfaction. I wonder what they put in the water that everyone is so cheery. I've been to Red Fox twice now. Once with a friend in the winter for dinner after skiing at nearby Stratton and again for dinner in the summer with my wife after tackling mountain climbs on The Vermont Challenge bike tour. The apple pie afterward is to die for no matter how stuffed you think you are. Apparently it supposed to be busier in the winter than the summer but it was surely filling up pretty fast after my bike ride. Food is good. Service was great. Everyone was happy. Just have to figure out what they put in the water. read more

It has been four days since we visited Red Fox Inn and I'm still reeling. Backstory: At the suggestion of my brother in law, my husband, two little girls and I drove over to the restaurant after a day of skiing at Stratton. The rest of our family and friends were planning to follow, but as we'd all skied separately, we weren't sure of the exact number planning to meet us at the Red Fox Inn at the end of the day. So we arrived at 4:00. The doors are locked but people are waiting outside in the snowy parking lot and two or three dogs ran spastic circles around us. When the doors opened up, we entered a lovely looking old inn and instantly felt at home in the rustic downstairs area - there was a fire crackling away in a cast-iron stove, the room is filled with long tables, a stage, and random games like pinball. While we waited for the rest of our group, my husband and I ordered a couple of beers and our daughters played pinball. Things were going well. Then this guy comes over - I believe his name is V Chan - and he asks how many people will be joining us. Mind you, the only people in the enormous room at the time (4:10 pm) were us and a few people sitting at the bar... My husband says, likely four adults and eight kids. V says, "Likely?!" I explained that we weren't sure because some are still at Stratton, but "at least four adults." V looks at me and angrily sneers, "AT LEAST?!" This is our first sign that he might be slightly unbalanced. My husband says, "We're just going to grab a quick bite and get out of your hair." "Yeah, well you haven't run a bar in Stratton for twenty years," spat V as we stalked away. I quietly whisper to my husband, "Maybe we should go somewhere else." (By the way, my husband ran a bar in Sun Valley, ID) "Calm down," V spits from several tables away. What. The. F*&^?????, People? A few moments later V comes over and offers an apology. Okay. So maybe he was having a moment. He says, "I get it, you work hard all week and want to get out...my wife and I are the same way." The rest of our group arrives. Our 10 year old son is with them and thought it a brilliant idea to wear his ski boots and helmet into the restaurant. He's 10. He was with his uncle... we get that the boots were not a great idea. At the same moment we saw our son, so did V Chan. He begins yelling as he bolts across the room toward our little boy, "SKI BOOTS AND HELMET IN HERE? GET HIM OUT!!!" He came at our little kid like he was some drunken 25 year old. "DOES HE BELONG TO YOU? GET HIM OUT!" he demands with a grand sweep of his creepy (possibly prison-tattooed) arm. I want to tell V a lot of very nasty, nasty insults, but everyone tells me to let it go while they scramble to find our son a pair of NOT ski boots. As this is happening, V Chan says from several tables away, "You seriously don't have any other shoes for him?" While staring at me angrily. Is this because I'm a woman? Is he psychotic? Do his employers now how verbally and physically aggressive this guys is? Again, I'm told to let it go. V Chan again offers a sort of apology after several minutes and my husband tells him he was a bit overly aggressive to a little kid. V Chan, informs us again about his 20 years of running a bar in Stratton, VT. I can't help myself and inform him of my career history in the legal department of a major hospitality company. He was not amused. We order chicken wings and artichoke dip and French fries. V Chan hucks some tiny paper plates in front of each of us, Frisbee style. Because that's how hospitality professionals roll at the Red Fox Inn. A few moments later, I see him speaking with the owner while angrily staring at our table and pointing. I wonder... was this guy institutionalized for a large portion of his life? Is he still? Do they allow him out on weekend work passes in hopes of integrating him with society? read more

Wow why did I go back here and how is this place still in business. Lets start with the service - TERRIBLE TO NON EXISTENT....then lets move onto the slop and fried/ burned food that they pass off as human grade. I wouldn't feed this to my mutt... STAY AWAY....STAY FAR AWAY... read more

This is a hard review.... We ate at the restaurant above the pub, we really enjoyed the ambiance - old wooden structure, cute Christmas lights and overall really nice/ quiet romantic. The pub below, not so nice I wouldn't recommend, although they had a few things on the menu we may have liked. The bread we had before dinner was one of our fav's, don't know what they did but it still stands out in my mind. The dinner was strange my sister has some sort of vegetable pot-pie and it was amazing, we all tried a bite and were just floored by how good it was. My mother had the steak and it was great. However my dad had salmon and risotto and it was very bland, the risotto was terrible. I had the penne -vodka and it was also terrible, watery sauce and flavorless. Then there was homemade apple pie for dessert with ice cream and the entire family loved it! All in all guess you just have to know which dishes to order. It was really nice to get away from the Stratton resort places though, and this place wasn't as expensive as Verde or MB steakhouse which are the only other two nicer restaurants in the area. read more

We went here on a slow Tuesday night, sat at a high top near the bar, and had some wings and onion rings. The wings were spicy and well-cooked, the rings salty and crunchy. As bar food goes, I thought this place was pretty fantastic. The servers were friendly, the beer was cold, and the check wasn't expensive. I've been here to drink during ski season, and the bar can get pretty crowded. In the summer, the Red Fox Inn has a great pub meets farmhouse atmosphere. All in all, I'll go back. read more

Heard so much about this famous Stratton Mountain area restaurant that I was looking forward to going there. Let's just start off that you enter into a loud, crowded bar area that was hopping with happy people. Then you are led upstairs to this beautiful barn, spectacular fireplace dining area to be seated. So far so good right. We get handed the menus which now has a combo bar and dining room menu plus a specials menu, and the wine menu. That's when I lost it, the wine special of the day was $75. The average price of every other bottle was over $35 per bottle, most were over $60. Talk about a ripoff, I wasn't in Peter Lugars, or Ruth Chris, or sitting in a restaurant in Manhattan, WTF? We were waiting for 2 more ppl to make us a table of 8, but when the 6 of us wanted to order appetizers, they told us the chef prefers to fill the whole table once so they don't have to go up and down the stairs too much! And the Waitress said this with a straight face. Then after she opened and poured us our $75 bottle of Syrah, I was hoping for a complimentary bread basket, but no they don't do that there, you have to ask for a bread basket which was then added to the bill. Now I have to decide my main course and choose between a bar menu Philly cheese sandwich to the ribeye special dusted in porcini dust for $35. Who is in charge here? I had that ribeye special which was a tough grizzle loaded piece of meat that was the lowest grade from the worst supermarket in town. I had to ask for more au ju gravy, the meat was under seasoned and just not good. $35 also does not get you a complimentary salad, and the chef choose to give me 2 spoonfuls of mashed potato, plus the same of squash and 1 stalk of broccoli. At the table next to us they all had bar food, wings, sandwiches, etc, I just don't get the point of having bar food with supposed fine dining food in the same place. Makes no sense to me. The first and last time I will ever go there. read more

I had two negative experiences at the Red Fox Inn in my visits to Stratton. It's especially disappointing, given that the space encourages an appreciation for a broad range of live music. You need to lack a certain degree of self-respect to be a patron here. We've had the bad luck of getting the same waitress when coming to this tavern and both times we were left unsettled by both her poor attitude and total ineptitude. The food, for the most part, is comforting. Specifically the artichoke dip and vegetarian burger are great options for a filling meal. However, it does not compensate for the lack of decent service. read more

We stopped into Red Fox Inn twice over the course of our weekend in Vermont. It was close to our hotel, and they had a decent beer selection. In fact, what initially drew us to this place was the fact that they had Backacre Sour Golden Ale, which is new, made in Vermont, hard to find elsewhere, and my boyfriend's new favorite beer after having tried it at Red Fox Inn. The price for a 1 pt., 9.4 fl. oz. bottle was a hefty $27, but we shared it at the bar, and we figured it was the equivalent of multiple drinks. The next day, we went back for more beers and dinner at the pub. Prices seemed pretty standard, but the food was really mediocre. Chicken tenders were around $8, I think, and we only got 3 small tenders for that price. Also, my $12 mac 'n cheese was pretty weak - lukewarm, kind of watery base, and what seemed to only be a mild white cheddar in it. My boyfriend's burger was pretty solid though, and it came on a Portuguese muffin, which was a nice touch. The pub was pretty hopping both nights we were there, but service kept a good pace and was really friendly enough. It was a little cold inside for me, but I probably should have worn more layers. I have to note that the ladies' restroom was very welcoming, with a female empowering quote framed on the wall and complimentary sanitary items, pins, and Tums. Points for that and the beers, so despite the food, this place gets an A-OK 3 stars. read more

We were happy to be seated in this very cool looking inn/tavern. We did not have a reservation and the kitchen would be closing soon. I'm not going to get too specific. The food is good/ok. Not omg great. The prices are outrageous for the quality & service. Ridiculously high. One glass wine, three diners. One Crab cake ( good), 2 Caesars (not great), Thai chicken skewer (good), 2 soups, (good), wasabi tuna special(ok), coffee, cappuccino, soda - $164.00 before tip. The room is really pretty. I liked the front door. read more

What can someone from nyc say about a restaurant in vermont? We witnessed a bar fight break out in front of us down stairs, it was definately like a local pub until you went upstairs to the restaurant. The atmostphere was completely changed and so did the prices on the menu. The food was mediocre and the service was kind of slow. My pork chop was a bit dry and for the prices that they charge I was kind of hoping for better. btw. doctor i beat you. read more

I'm reviewing the bar. My review for the restaurant upstairs would be different. We like coming to the bar on Wed and Thur nights. Wed is our all time fav with half priced Guiness and Fish N Chips for Irish night. Plus there is live Traditional Irish music later in the evening which is always a good time. read more
