    Chicken Fried Steak

    Great food! And the service! The ambiance is unmatched! People should visit. And give them business.

    Hand breaded chicken tenders (as good a tender as you can get)
    Dean C.

    We were traveling through from skiing in Vermont back to Connecticut and stopped because our daughter need to use the restroom and decided to look at the menu of this "diner". It is not what I think of as a diner, because it is a smaller menu that is entirely homemade. We had the hand breaded (twice) chicken tenders which were delicious and as good as I have had anywhere,, along with hot dog, which was very good with split top toasted bun. Our daughter had a cheeseburger (smash burger) which was above average and beer battered onion rings which were crispy (beer battered are often too soggy for me) and as good as onion rings get. There is also an Indian side to this menu which if you had asked me in the parking lot I would have been a solid no, however after seeing that there is truly a chef running this kitchen, I would definitely try next time.

    Food was amazing. So glad the original integrity of the diner remains! Will be back for sure! Great value.

The store itself is a nice size and there is a market area with food and then another shop part where you can get other baked goods and take home meals (including Mac and cheese and pasta)! The staff are friendly and willing to answer questions despite being so busy, but I do recommend studying the menu and options so you don't hold up the line. Regarding the food- come hungry! There are so many good options you definitely want to be try many things. I had the Mac and cheese, maple bbq pulled pork, the chili and a sandwich. I recommend the chili and the traffic jam sandwich! You really can't go wrong. There are a lot of good options and everything tastes really good and homemade.

The lot was small but many people were coming in and out so we didn't have to wait long to get a parking spot or outdoor seating. There are two shops: the deli and market with different vibes and items inside. The market is a quick shop with some snacks, drinks, coffee, and knickknacks. The deli is where the hot/cooked foods are at with some other specialty foods. The food was overall ok, nothing noteworthy. The main attraction is their Mac and cheese that had been circulating my IG feed. Don't think it's life changing but the shops have curated selections of local goods that are reasonable priced to get some last minute treats. Pass on the general tso(?) and the potstickers in my opinion unless you're really craving it. The desserts looked amazing and would definitely get one next time

    Interesting little venue. Went up to Brattleboro to spend a day with my boyfriend and when we drove…read moredown the street, came across this place and opted to try it. Very dated on the inside but I think that's supposed to be part of it's "charm". We were one of maybe four parties (all less than 3 people in each) and the server, who was a semi-nice older woman, seemed SO lost and overwhelmed for the place not being busy. Very frazzled and it took a while to get drink refills and the additional sauce we had originally ordered with our meal. The menu isn't vast, so don't go in expecting to try something new. We opted for the Vermont burger, and the Double Smash burger. They were....eh. Nothing to write home about. Being known for their fresh ingredients (according to google) I would have to disagree. Everything seemed pretty standard..frozen fries/frozen patties etc. Maybe I am wrong but that's how it had tasted.

    The outer appearance of this purveyor of fine vegan dining is deceiving. Its street façade looks…read morelike a rundown old shack whose exterior signage seems provisional, as though it were hastily erected on opening day with intentions of later improving it, but "later" never happened. Even the interior, because so dimly lit, looks ramshackle. But you can't judge this book by its unassuming cover. Exquisite vegan cuisine awaits you inside. My fiancée and I temporarily suspended our WFPB high nutritional standards when she indulged in mock meat and I in sautéed food. No regrets. I savored my small plate of Curried Cider Brussels Sprouts and big plate of Peanut Tofu Noodles. She relished her big plate of Swedish Meatballs (TVP pea protein), which came with a side of the luscious Brussels Sprouts, and she proclaimed her dessert, Chocolate Mousse, to be among the best she ever tasted. All was served on elegant dishware. If we visit Brattleboro again, we will plan our visit around Vegan A.F.'s limited schedule. Reservations are required because of its limited hours and limited seating. We dined on a weekday evening, yet it had a full house. As it had rained earlier, the outdoor patio was not open for dining, so everyone was confined indoors. Not a problem. Its intimate atmosphere (in other words, its cramped interior) promoted casual but meaningful conversations among other fellow diners, as often happens in small vegan cafés. Kudos to Judy, our energetic server, who singlehandedly held down the fort both skillfully and gracefully. In case you're wondering, as I was, what does the A.F. in their name stand for, its website states obscurely way on the bottom "And Flex," yet there is nothing apologetic or flexitarian about Vegan A.F. Probably more consequential, a cognoscente of NYC informs me its underlying meaning is a far more colorful, indeed here not publishable.

The restaurant is deceptively larger and the art on the walls is so cool. But the real magic was the food. SO So so good! My husband had the meatless meatloaf and it was a huge portion. I had the risotto and it was so delicious. Absolutely a must stop. Parking is available on the street and in front of the auto glass across the street BUT only when it's closed AND only directly in front.

Our group of seven was seated right away thanks to our reservation, but the wait for both drinks and food was on the longer side. Our server apologized multiple times, which we appreciated, and we passed the time playing phone games with the kids to keep them busy. The pierogies were a highlight, with a nicely crispy exterior and a creamy filling, and the shoestring fries came out salty and crunchy. My chicken cordon bleu sandwich, though, didn't really live up to the name, and the side salad was pretty plain with just a basic vinaigrette. My wife's grilled cheese with fried chicken strips also seemed a bit undercooked, and the chicken had a slightly rubbery texture. Overall it wasn't our best dining experience, but the atmosphere inside is very nice and the staff themselves are kind.
