It's interesting to me that Castlerock probably shares the same kitchen, management and ownership…read moreas Rumble's Kitchen, barely 10 feet away. But the experience is just so much less... efficient. We came on a day when the mountain was not crowded (a weekday post Christmas and New Year) and were hoping to do a quick in and out to get back to the beautiful, sunny day and good ski conditions. Castlerock had another plan. I think the staff -- all very friendly young people from Latin and South American countries per their nametags -- were probably spread thin, but it took a very, very long time for anyone to come by and take our order (around 30 minutes) and then a long time (another 40+ minutes) for food to come. We enjoyed it when it did come -- but of course we'd had quite some time to whet our appetites! C-Rock Grain Bowl (mixed greens, warm quinoa, sweet corn, roasted butternut squash, pickled red onion, peppadew peppers, crumbled feta, toasted sunflower seeds, pesto vinaigrette; $16.50) was a well conceived and substantial salad, but not entirely well executed. I would've enjoyed the bowl just as well without the from-frozen, rubbery corn, with half the amount of dressing -- and if one wishes to nitpick, quinoa that was warm as advertised, rather than stone cold. The chili ($12.50) was Sugarbush ski mountain standard, the same stuff that's served in the cafeteria, at Rumble, at Mt. Ellen, etc... Our littles enjoyed it as always. The CRP Smash Burger (6 oz angus patty smashed on the griddle, cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, red onion on a toasted potato roll; $21) was similarly standard issue resort-wide -- and also something you could probably pick up at any pub in any city or town in the US. It's predictable. The primary consumer always knows what he's getting and enjoys it. Turkey club sandwiches (roasted turkey breast, crispy bacon, lettuce, tomato, black garlic aioli, toasted sourdough bread; $18.50) were quite well stuffed with deli meat and served with the same deliciously low-brow, seasoned fries that are served everywhere on the resort. The primary consumers enjoyed them. Castlerock Pierogies (Polish potato and cheddar dumplings, caramelized onions, chives, sour cream; $16) are a new addition as of the 2023-24 winter season. They came well pan fried, filled with potato and cheese, topped with browned (not caramelized) onions if one is to nitpick, no chives, and loads of sour cream. I am not a knowledgeable consumer -- we generally get them from street carts in NYC, not from homemade sources -- but we enjoyed this offering. Food and the standard roster of VT beers: fair to enjoyable. Resort pricing and slow service: not completely intolerable.

Hunger is the best spice they say! So those who eat here regularly may be more impartial -- but boy were we happy with our repast. There were the delicious VT beers drawn from clean taps; the buttery grilled cheese ($13; on Red Hen Bakery bread); the juicy, flavorful Local Burger ($18; Kenyon Farm beef burger with lettuce, tomato and onion on a brioche bun, topped with cheddar for +$1); the crisp, non-greasy fries; and the nicely composed Stark's Salad ($13; mixed greens with craisins, fried onions, carrots, candied pecans and crumbled feta in maple balsamic vinaigrette; +$8 for grilled chicken). I did not love the watery, bland beef chili ($8.50), but the snow-covered, somewhat child-shaped lumps of ice that followed us in to lunch told us they enjoyed it. Wait staff don't smile much (at least not on extremely busy holiday weekends when they are swamped), but they are kind and very good at their jobs -- my kind of people. When they do smile, you know they mean it. We've been shareholders at MRG for many years and have spent a good amount of time at this mountain. Really awesome ski conditions are hard for us to come by given global warming, the fact that we don't live in the area full time, and that MRG is about natural skiing (e.g. little if any snowmaking, no grooming on the big girl trails) -- so I guess we always feel some pressure to make the most of a great ski day when we are lucky enough to get one. To maximize time on the slopes, we almost always bring our own snacks and/or stick to the fast and friendly cafeteria. (Their veggie soup is awesome, btw -- probably scratch made.) If you're going for speed, it's hard to beat the MRG cafeteria. But on those occasions when you want to sit a bit longer to defrost your face and make sure that your more important appendages remain attached and functional, Stark's Pub sure hits the spot.

Service is friendly, sometimes a bit slow, but good to excellent year after year. The food is of mixed quality. Where we loved the winter salad last year, the salads this year are lackluster. A harvest / autumn salad has come with rock hard, nearly raw squash on at least four occasions. The Mediterranean salad is now made with couscous, so is not safe for GF diners. We asked if there was any way to substitute couscous with something else (e.g. more falafel) and our waiter waffled for a long time and could not answer the question. In the end, we just asked for the salad without couscous and it was not at all filling for the diner who ordered it. The burgers, grilled cheese, falafel pita, gyros, nachos, Brussels sprouts, wings, etc... are all fine -- serviceable but not anything we would seek out if we weren't a captive audience. The garlic parmesan fries, however, are still excellent!
