This place is stellar! What an awesome find. We tried several dishes from their breakfast menu, including the Josh (corned beef, potatoes, eggs), a build-your-own-breakfast sandwich, and the Philly cheesesteak inspired breakfast bowl. Everything was delicious! Inside, you order from the counter then find a table to sit. We visited in the winter, so we couldn't take advantage of their outdoor seating, but the space looked very nice. The staff was super friendly, greeting us when we walked in and saying goodbye when we left. The food came out in a reasonable timeframe and was reasonably priced. I'd like to come back to try lunch items soon! And... *drumroll*... the ice coffee has coffee ice cubes. No more watered down drinks here! Very impressed. read more

Amazing good cooked food just minutes from Stratton. Best home smoked corned beef sandwich on pretzel roll with cole slaw ever. My daughter loved the grilled cheese. read more

Terrific BBQ and fixin's. Smoked on premises. Menu choices are many. Well done - Go there and enjoy read more

The perfect lunch place when we go to Stratton Mountain. You have to try their homemade potato chips. They're the best

I ordered a cheesesteak and they used the bacon grease so the whole sandwich tasted like bacon. I don't know anyone who puts bacon on a cheesesteak. As I left they made fun of me. they did not have the decency to wait for me to leave. read more

New location, new menu items, and great great food. Wow, this place just keeps getting better. Reliable breakfast excellence, some of the best barbecue anywhere ever, and a mighty excellent cafe latte. And Bang Bang Chicken in quantity. Also some hella awesome chocolate chip cookie. Sure it takes a while and the front of the new place isn't exactly scenic, but you won't do better and you could do a hell of a lot worse. This place. Right here. This is the place you want to eat. read more

What a great find. Right around the corner from Stratton access road. Just a small sandwich place but packs a huge taste. Got the chicken Cesar wrap that was packed full of breaded chicken cutlet, crouton and flavor. Also tried the Vietnamese BBQ Pulled Pork Banh Mi, which was so unique for a lunch sandwich. Pulled pork was melt in your mouth good. We got a side of onion rings that may be the most unique onion rings I've had; they are a combination of salty and sweet that is very special. This place was so good we returned for breakfast the next day. Burrito bowl was really good, and Vermonter was also great, which adds a a little maple syrup to the egg sandwich. Highly recommend this place. read more

We were visiting Stratton resort and wasn't enthused with any of the limited restaurant selections in the Stratton village itself. So found this place on Yelp which is only about 7-8 mins away from Stratton. This place is really good. Great customer service and ample seating especially outdoors with a great view of a creek. I got the pork banh mi sandwich which the meat was very tender as they roast their own meat in the smoker. My son got the Philly cheesesteak sandwich and while you can taste the smokiness of the meat, they could have put more Swiss cheese in it. My wife got the Philly cheesesteak bowl which came with beautifully seasoned potatoes. All the dishes had their own great distinct flavor. Finally got their award winning onion rings which I have to admit, you can taste the freshness of the batter and the onion themselves. read more

Great food, lots of choices, friendly staff. A great place for barbeque, soups, desserts, meals to go. A must!

Delicious sandwiches. Can't wait to go back and try a new option. The bahn mi and corned beef were great!

Probably the best sandwich I've had in my LIFE! Their Workhorse is a game changer. All other things I have gotten here have been excellent as well. The staff is awesome & they always have a great choice of sweet treats in their cooler! Also in the warmer months the outdoor dining over the river is beautiful. Would 100% recommend. read more

The Vermonter was a solid sandwich. Nothing beyond the average other than it had maple syrup drizzled inside. The Breakfast Burrito was also standard, and decent. None of the food was outstanding, but they were pretty good. read more

My family has a ski cabin here, but it's been awhile since I've been back. I came up with my fiancé and friend and my uncle told me about this cafe, that's new since I was last here. They have a little bit of everything! It was around brunch time so I made my own breakfast sandwich on a sourdough toast with the hash browns and it was so delicious, wow. Their other food items looked really good as well, definitely a local gem!! read more

One of the BEST breakfasts on our tour of Vermont! Great choices for meat and non-meat eaters alike!

This is the second year in a row we had Workhorse cater our company offsite. It was DELICIOUS. The team is incredibly helpful, and accommodating our last minute changes. I truly appreciate their business, and we'll surely use them next year as it's now our tradition! 10/10 read more

I eat here about 3 times a week. That should be enough said. But I saw a review where someone dumped on the BBQ and had to speak up. If you happen to be there when they are throwing a chunk of meat on the smoker you will know this is the real deal. Does it compete with southern bbq? I have had much worse bbq in the south than this place cooks up. Go here you won't be disappointed, unless it is closed for the day. read more

Awesome breakfast sandwich. The service was great and friendly. Very refreshing to have an all around great experience

Awesome spot right off the mountain. Two smokers outside smoking their own meats. Breakfast and lunch are amazing. You won't leave hungry. Great value, great food, super friendly staff. What more could you want? read more

This place was so good. I had a burger and partner had the workhorse. Absolutely slapped. Great for a casual lunch or dinner. Would go again. read more

The food was excellent. We had the Reuben and Workhorse Sandwiches and they were tasty. The mac and cheese with pulled pork was delicious. Staff is very friendly. There was a stream of people coming in and they looked like repeat customers. read more

Wonderful addition to Bondville! Everything I've tried on the menu is absolutely delicious. I especially love their weekend dinner options. Highly recommend the rotisserie chicken, brisket & baked beans!! read more

Amazing, we stopped for a late lunch. Kinda drew us in with the smokers going outside . I had the grilled piggy, with pulled pork, maple smoked bacon, Vermont cheddar Mac n cheese, homemade slaw, on sourdough bread. It was hands down one of the best sandwiches I've ever had, so many yummy flavors that worked so well together! My husband had a pastrami, Swiss cheese, homemade slaw, on a pretzel bun he said was awesome! We shared a fry but definitely could just eat a sandwich because we barely touched the fries. Have a variety of other sandwiches, Mac n cheese dishes, salads, and much more. Definitely be stopping in again when in the area! read more

Quite possibly the best onion rings I've ever had. The Piggy Bowl was great. Next time I'll ask for the pulled pork in it to come without sauce, the better to enjoy the smoky goodness of the pork. Corned beef Reuben on pretzel roll was delish. Brownies with ganache were outstanding! Super-nice, talented owners patiently answered all of our questions and rolled out great eats. read more

My first time here and I got the breakfast burrito with choice of ham as the meat and Swiss cheese. It was amazing, so fresh and you can taste each ingredient. My friend also recommended the latte's with double espresso and they tasted delicious. Cozy little family food spot, worth a visit. We take our breakfast to go but they do have a couple high counters to eat inside. read more

I am GF (gluten intolerant, not celiac). This being said, I have to mention the burger that I had at Workhorse Cafe last week. To begin, I recommend the burger, mine was ordered Medium and cooked to juicy perfection. The GF roll was buttered and grilled on the flat top, for the best experience I've had with a GF roll for my burger. People who do not consume gluten know the pain of trying to find bread that works, and I've mostly given up on GF bread and go with a lettuce wrap or on top of a side salad. Kurt recommended the GF roll and I was more than pleasantly surprised! This is a friendly place to go with owners and staff that care about both the food and customer experience. Also, the BEST fries. I usually take my food to go, but I have eaten there and the space was clean and pleasant. Enjoy!! read more

Hands down the best breakfast sandwiches in vermont! We were up in Vermont for the weekend and wanted to grab breakfast one of the mornings. So the 4 of us decided to stop by and give this place a try. Its a cute little place, where I assume most of their business is take-out because while there are a few tables, there aren't any chairs. We decided to stand and eat our food there because the place was so cute! I got the Vermonter which was SO good. The food was freshly made right in front of our eyes and it was so tasty. Cannot wait to go back up to Vermont and get another breakfast sandwich!! read more

Girl working the phone was rude. I wanted to get in an order before they closed. Called at 4pm to make sure they were open, since it was MLK day. She told me they were open until 5pm and taking last orders at 4:45. I called back at 4:30 to place my order and she told me they were closing and not taking orders. I told her we just spoke 30 min ago and she hung up on me. Was looking g forward to a good sandwich as I remember they were good. So lt trust the hours they post. read more

My best friend and I came to Vermont to visit and ride some of the biking trails with our children. Our first morning here we found this little cafe for breakfast. The food was good and the girl cashier was beautifully kind. However when we went to leave one of the clips on the bike rack broke dropping one of the bikes behind the car as I was backing out. I stopped the car and immediately got out to fix it. It was not my intention nor did I even realize I was blocking the traffic on one side of this two entrance and two exit location. No one came up behind me or tried to get around that I know of, or I certainly would have moved. It was at this moment the gentleman from the cafe, I do not know if he was an employee or owner, came out gruffly and condescending and rudely told us to get out of the middle of the road as we were blocking his customers from getting in. I tried to explain the situation and he turned his back to me smarting off that I should move out of the way to fix my problem. He did not ask if I needed help, what had happened or even remotely be kind about it. So, if you're looking for a nice breakfast it is acceptable but do not expect any kind of human kindness if anything should misfortune you. Sadly, for us, this completely overshadowed the food. read more

The only downside I could think of: Seating is a little limited, and parking is only on the street, so be prepared. Aside from that, everything was awesome: This place had the most badass sandwiches ever. Super generous portions, amazing flavor, and great service. Still felt very county and local, so everyone was very friendly and the whole vibe was hospitable and welcoming. They have a huge cast iron pan of mac & cheese right on the counter, so don't leave without getting at least one dish with that incorporated. I'm not usually a fan of pulled pork for whatever reason, but they had this sandwich with pulled pork and mac & cheese, and it was legitimately the best pulled pork I've ever had and probably the only time I've ever enjoyed it Also, it's a small detail but makes a world of a difference: they have coffee ice cubes, so your coffee doesn't get diluted with ice water. It's also rare to see a Banh Mi in such a rural area, so it is so much appreciated read more

What a gem! This is my favorite eatery in Jamaica, VT. The food is simply spectacular!! 10 stars! For breakfast we had the Vermonter, highly recommend. Then I came back for lunch and got an Arugula salad as well as the Piggy Grilled cheese. Wow! Just wow! Why isnt this place in Boston.... dont leave Jamaica/stratton area without visiting Workhorse Cafe! read more

One of my favorite spots. There are chicken Caesar wrap is absolutely phenomenal. It makes eating healthy so easy. Anything you get off of their menu is sure to be incredible. Try some of those smoked meat. read more

This is a perfect spot for a quick breakfast or lunch! We stopped in with 4 people on a Saturday morning. They don't have traditional seating, but a couple of high top tables where you can stand and enjoy your meal. It's a very casual spot- I think most of their business is takeout. I got the breakfast burrito with avocado on the side. Everything tasted very fresh, my burrito was piping hot and so tasty. They have a good selection of drinks and coffee as well. Highly recommend!! read more
