This is one is tough to review. For its location, it probably deserves 5 stars but take the…read moreproduct and serve and place it in any major city and the rating would surely be much less. The beer menu is undoubtedly awesome even in a sea of awesome beer menus in northern VT. Given its proximity to hill farmstead, they get their share of beer connoisseurs here and no one walks away disappointed. Throw in the fact that they are kinda in the middle of nowhere and it seems impossible. Kudos to Parker pie for their beer procurement! The pizza this time was just OK. BBQ chicken had hardly any chicken but the crust was nice and crispy. My previous 3 visits felt like it wasn't quite as busy and the food came out better and hotter than this particular time. We went on a Thursday and it wasn't slamming but the back bar was pretty full and they had a parking attendant to help you get to a spot in the small lot. There was an open mic but no one stepped up while we were there. The back bar area is pretty tight. There is some outdoor seating as well. Everything was fairly clean and the staff were attentive and polite. In the end, I'm torn between 3 and 4 stars but am rounding up because the beer menu is so good. If you're in the area, it's definitely the place to be but I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to go there since it's a bit off the beaten path.

Parker Pie was a really good dinner option on a Thursday evening in July 2026 when it was just…read morestarting to rain. It's about a 15-minute drive from the north shore of Lake Willoughby. You'll see a general store - Parker Pie is the red building on the back side. It has lots of pluses. First, we enjoyed the open-mic night with live music on Thursdays from 6pm-9pm. Second, the pizza was OK but the salads were superb (the blue cheese was from Jasper Hill Farm in Greensboro, VT). Third, Hill Farmstead beers are on tap (which were very high quality). On the minus side, the "back bar" area had limited seating (it was quite crowded). Service was OK. You must order first and pre-pay at the front (giving your name and seating location), then wait for the staff to bring your pizza and salad to you. Be sure to pack your patience - it can take a while for the food to arrive if it's crowded!

When we asked where the mushrooms were this is what she said, "we cut them so small you probably don't see them.) What? There weren't any on there. Although the burger was good it was not worth $12.50 and we bought 3 of them. They forgot the smash sauce too. We asked for it on the side. Trust me, you don't get much. When we brought our food back up to get the rest of the toppings, they asked if we paid for them. The receipt clearly shows it so why ask. I won't be back. The prices are quite high for what you get.

It had been a very long time since we ate at this restaurant. My wife was away so I stopped in for…read morelunch. The restaurant is a cross between the restaurant you would find on a ski slope and a pub. There are booths, tables and a bar. I chose to sit at the bar so I could watch TV. They have a nice selection of Vermont beers on tap and a selection of wine. I chose a double IPA from Burlington Beer Company. It was served cold in a frosted beer mug. For the main course I ordered the beef pot pie. It arrived in around 15 minutes and was served hot. It came with mashed potatoes and a serving of mixed julienned vegetables. The pot pie was good. The vegetables could have used a bit more cooking. Because they were julienned, they lost heat very rapidly. Service was excellent with everyone being very friendly as well as helpful. We will return.

The Best Breakfast Burrito & Poutine Around!…read more If you haven't tried Buggy's Food Truck yet -- you're seriously missing out! I stopped by one morning and ordered the Halo Breakfast Burrito, and it was absolute perfection. The eggs were fluffy, the bacon and sausage were cooked just right, and the mix of peppers gave it that perfect little kick. The cheese was melted beautifully through every bite -- warm, flavorful, and ridiculously satisfying. And don't even get me started on Buggy's famous poutine -- crispy fries loaded with rich gravy and gooey cheese curds that melt perfectly together. It's comfort food at its finest and honestly worth the trip alone. You can tell everything is made with care and top-notch ingredients. The portions are generous, prices are fair, and Buggy himself is one of the friendliest people you'll meet. You can tell he really takes pride in his food. Whether you're craving breakfast or just something hearty and delicious, Buggy's Food Truck is the move. 10/10 -- grab the Halo Burrito and a side of poutine, and thank me later!

My last visit was in April of last year and am looking forward to getting up there soon to enjoy its rustic charm. There is plenty of seating and it feels like home. Make it a stop on your way up to Canada or if you are out enjoying the northern Vermont countryside. Their restaurnat too is on the V.A.S.T. trail system & are big supporters. Thank you Chez Pidgon - been there many times and never left hungry or dissappointed. :)
