The Bench - STOWE

The salt and vinegar dishes were incredible! There are several vegetarian options available.

We visited this restaurant after finding it on Happy Cow, but we were quite disappointed. The veggie burger isn’t actually vegan or even a proper burger. All the salads are packed with cheese, and the staff seemed unclear about what “vegan” really means. The only item they could make vegan was the roasted vegetables, but only if we requested them without butter. The atmosphere of the place was lovely, but it's a shame that they only offer one vegan option.

This restaurant was fantastic! They might serve the best burgers in the state. The Strandburger featured a delicious cut of pork accompanied by perfectly chosen vegetables. The bacon burger and the blue cheeseburger were both amazing. The chicken was wonderfully crispy. Check out all my reviews on YouTube at Review Time With Tim!

The wood fired pizzas were pretty good. The mushroom/drumb oil was the best. The tomato/basil/mozzarella was a bit bland. The waitress was kind. Beautiful small terrace. Overall, it was a pretty good dinner/experience. Not the best wood-fired pizza I had, but still good!

On the way home from Burlington, VT. Before deciding to go here, I looked at the reviews and there were 4.7 stars from 1,100 reviews... And I think the rating was too low. The atmosphere is rustic, the staff is great, and the food came fast and piping hot. I have to start the salt giants. Entreés were moss glen pizza and the buffalo Mac cheese. Both are worth writing home. If you don't love Buffalo, try another food, you can't go wrong. Keep this place in mind for the next time we are in the area and want a great experience.
