    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.

For a rainy Friday afternoon over a long weekend, they were pretty busy but multiple tables were open. When we arrived our group split between the upstairs patio and the front picnic tables as we had our dog with us. The picnic tables out front is the only section that is dog friendly. When we ordered food we were told the wait is about an hour which wasn't an issue as we were there to hang out and chat! The food accurately took exactly 1hr and staff was very apologetic when the food was brought out. However, our burgers we're phenomenal! After a wait like that, I was definitely worried but they were cooked perfectly, just like we asked, and served warm. Some folks in our party were a bit annoyed about the wait. Some orders that shouldn't have taken an hour (pickles, pretzels) took as long as full meals which was strange. All in all, great experience and was glad we finally checked out Whetstone. They serve all their own beers at a really good price ($7) so just going there for beers and the view is definitely a move. From other reviews, it sounds like the wait for food is typically long so just be prepared to hang out - it's a good time!

    New year, new review…read more Popped in after a morning of skiing New Year's Day and place was packed for lunch! I didn't mind as I was in no rush. As I waited in line I enjoyed conversations with both the people in front and behind me whom all have never been before. The joy and excitement on their faces as they made their way to order was priceless. As for myself, a small mac to help start the new year strong for total lbs sold (81k in 2024) and a small pulled pork. Wanted to order some other things but my refrigerator is full at home, so another time. If this will be your first time, just be aware of parking could be very busy as there's not much. Both ways before pull out of parking spaces as well. Main road can be a cluster at times. I also recommend getting lots of little things rather than a little of a lot. You can always come back for more!

    A local had suggested this spot as a favorite roadtrip stop, and it is now my new favorite too!…read moreLimited parking and togo lines were long, but service was quick. There are 2 lines - deli and sandwiches. Great selection of Vermont-made snacks, drinks, and souvenirs as well. I ordered: - Macaroni and cheese ($4.29 per 1/2 lb) made with Vermont's Cabot cheddar cheese - very creamy, cheesy, and had a perfect texture. - Maple BBQ Pulled Pork ($5.99 per 1/2 lb) - very juicy and moist - Turkey Sandwich - had this the next day and it was still tasty. Not dry at all. All were very flavorful and delicious! Highly recommend visiting ~ I can't wait to be back :)

    I used to be a vegan for 12 years. Yes, I told everyone . Seriously though, one of the issues with…read morebeing vegan and a foodie is that preparing haute cuisine dishes that are vegan is painstakingly time consuming. Try making seitan at home from gluten "flour" to see what I mean. This place though nails it. This is basically a high end restaurant that happens to be vegan. Full bar, wine selection, the works. In my opinion this is the best restaurant in Brattleboro. Menu items that stand out in no particular order: - Arancini cakes. These were heavenly. They are nicely crisped up at the bottom giving them a bit of a smoky flavor - Seitan salad: fully loaded salad with nice mix of flavors. Can be a bit on the spicy side for some people. - Swedish meatballs: my kids loved these. Come with perfectly crispy Brussels sprouts and herbed rice. 10/10 - Chicken riggies: this was also perfect for kids. The sauce for the rigatoni is very well put together. Basically this place is all hits on my list. Will be sure to stop here next time we are on a ski trip.

For the food, we tried out a many dishes to share. My favorite was the chili. For what it's worth, the dishes we had with the vegan meat had the same taste, except for the salad. We also got some mock-tails that were delicious. I really enjoyed the food and if I'm ever back in this area I'd try it again. Price: $80 (including 20% tip)

    We walked in on Valentine's Day and the hostess made it work to let us sit right away, which was…read morevery nice. Food: 4/5 - we got the bomb sandwich, one steak one grilled chicken. Steak was cooked nicely, but probably would prefer thinner cuts vs chunks. Chicken was good and extra cheesy. The fries were excellent Vibe: 4/5 - we sat in the room with the kitchen so it was smoky but not offensive. The other room had a better ambiance. Value: 4/5 - Fine. Filling meal, reasonably priced drinks Service: 3/5 - they tried hard. It was busy but we waited probably 45 min for our food and they forgot our appetizer. Everyone was nice though

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.
