Henry's Diner

Established in 1925 and still serving home cooked food. Take a step back in time with the retro atmosphere and service. A unique slice of Americana. Service with style; full coarse meals, Greek entrees available: gyros, spanakopita, Greek salads. Deliciou

Love diners for breakfast and his place is a classic. Opened in 1925, idyllic location and great menu. The only problem is that the food did not live up to the potential! Eggs Benedict were bland and cool, as were the accompanying hash browns. Wife’s food was the same. On the upside service was great and it’s still worth a stop for the atmosphere alone - but I still wish the food lived up to the expectations!

Guild Tavern

Guild Tavern is a farm-to-table wood fired grill featuring local beef grilled over Vermont hardwood. The menu offers classic steakhouse entrees, wood fired mixed grills, seafood and vegetarian options, and an innovative cocktail program. More casual fare,

Revisited this steakhouse after many many years ago, which, back then, didn't quite meet up to our expectation. Verdict, not much changed since then. Aside from the main course, the Caesar salad was decent. Topped with anchovies (optional) and a healthy amount of shaved parmigiana cheese, this was very decent.My wife had the salmon, which was a tad overcooked (too long under the hot lamp?) and my 14oz ribeye steak... though nicely flavored, was very "sinewy", making it somewhat an overly chewy meal.Overall, a mediocre experience.

Four of us had dinner there our first night in Burlington. Menu is somewhat limited but everything is great. Décor is mostly wood and lighting is kept low. Expect to pay around $50 per person not including drinks, tax or tips. Reservations are a must on weekends and in summer season.

American Flatbread

Reviewed By dmount2001

Took our grandson to American Flatbread for his birthday. The restaurant has been in Burlington for several years but I had never been there. The oven is in a convenient part of the restaurant so you can watch the action. That was nice and made the ambiance quite nece. We had four people so we ordered two pizzas and they were excellent. We had one meat lovers and one plain cheese. The service was very good with the servers spelling each other and making sure that customers were not left waiting for their food.I will be back.

Overall the food we had for breakfast was average. Everything was good quality, but just ordinary in taste. I guess with all the rave reviews, we were expecting more. However, the staff was fantastic. Everyone from the waitress, to the hostess, to the bus girl :-)

Stopped by for lunch with friends and spent two hours catching up. The restaurant was not slammed and since the space wasn’t needed we just enjoyed ourselves. The staff was great as was the food. I had the Reuben sandwich with fries, everybody else had the salad bar. Our lunch was great. The facility was clean and very comfortable. The menu prices were very reasonable.

We stopped at Chicken Charlie's right after landing in Burlington, VT. Loved the VT Maple bbq wings! Sweet, crispy wings. Great mashed potatoes and gravy. Rest of family enjoyed their picks of buffalo chicken sandwich and chicken tenders (fresh not frozen) and 1/2 chicken VT maple bbq. Fries were great as well. Friendly service. Clean restrooms.
