Live music venue
Madison Brewing Company Pub & Restaurant is a family-run brewpub that offers hearty comfort food and housemade beers and sodas. It's known for its great burgers and one of the best microbrews in the area. You can also grab deli sandwiches from Elm Street Market or burgers and shakes from Billy Ts Northside Dairy bar for a picnic by the Henry Bridge, adding a touch of Vermont charm.
Great little microbrewery and restaurant in downtown Bennington. The menu has a nice selection of food. The interior of the building looks like an older building that has been modernized. A great little place. Their sandwiches come with homemade potato chips, which are great, and not overly salty which is often the case. A very enjoyable experience.

Not my first time here and was looking forward to a good meal. Waitress did not know the specials for the day when I ordered a bowl of beef barley soup and questioned why I ordered it. I should have stopped there. It looked and tasted like a can of Campbell’s Soup. Ordered the Caesar salad and it arrived looking like it had gone through a lawn mower. The romaine was chopped, saturated with bottled dressing and the croutons all dumped in a bowl. The pictures taken actually make it look better than it did on arrival and after I had mixed it up. Found one small sliver of what I think was Parmesan. The saving grace to this meal was the fried green beans with ranch dipping sauce. Outer coating was crunchy, arrived hot and tasted like green beans. The 5 oz Dunkel Beer had a good malty flavor and reminded my friend of Germany. Service hard to get. Waitress was assigned all over restaurant and took a while to bring bill. Got very loud during time there which made it hard to have a conversation without having to speak up to be heard. Sorry to say will not be returning.

Awesome awesome awesome! We came into Madison brewing for a beer and ended up doing a late lunch/ early dinner. We started at the bar where the bartender Melissa was amazing. She was very nice and accommodating with tastes to see what we would like. We had a round of their pumpkin beer with the sugar ring, yum! For lunch we started with the Bavarian pretzel ( hot and buttery)! We also had the sweet and spicy Brussels sprouts which were really good as well. For our meal, I ordered the Big Mikes steak burger which had cheddar cheese and their smokehouse bacon. It was awesome served with fries. We also ordered 2 cranberry Melts we also had the mad Vermont melt (ham and cheddar) Everything was perfect and Morgan was great taking care of our table! I highly recommend!

Great drinks, delicious food, personable service. Super loud but that's to be expected in a tavern atmosphere. Always a long wait to be seated. Like most restaurants in this current age they seem to be perpetually short staffed but the staff they do have are always great. Awesome onion rings and the maple chipotle wings never disappoint. I do wish they would bring back the mussels steamed in beer finished with the creamy shallot sauce & bread, but understand that menus have to evolve and change. It would be great to bring back as a special occasionally.

8-15-24. First time diner. Came recommended I went with the clam strips and fries. A huge order, but my system did not take kindly and sat repeatedly to dispel a yellow flood.😫. Tasted great. Maybe it was bad mixers in the two exotic drinks I had. Either way I will think twice. The place is spacious with multiple stories with great potential.

Breakfast restaurant
The Blue Benn Diner, located in Bennington, Vermont, is an iconic American diner housed in a circa-1945 railcar. Since its opening in 1948, it has become a recognizable landmark and a must-visit destination for those traveling through the area. The diner offers classic breakfast and lunch favorites within a nostalgic setting complete with booths and jukeboxes.
We had high expectations based on everything we read about this place and they exceeded them all. We all ordered something different and loved our meals. We had a variety- blueberry pancakes, omelet, home fries, muffins and coffee. They offered to grill our muffin….don’t miss out on this deliciousness. Everyone had great customer service skills and seems to get along well. They don’t mess around either. As soon as the waitresses see food, they rush to get it to you when it’s piping hot! The cook’s energy was infectious. He clearly enjoys what he does. He’s been working here since he was 18, I think our waitress said. I am sure that contributes to the consistency in their tasty food. You may have a wait but I can see why. It’s totally worth it. Don’t miss your opportunity to experience this amazing diner. My picture of outside is 6am but there was a full parking lot and wait around 11am almost everyday that we were there.

All the diner classics plus some unique options on the menu. Hubby tried the country Benedict and I had the cornbread French toast. The food was very good but cold before I could eat and the butter wouldn’t spread. It was 55 degrees outside and they had windows and doors open. I put on a jacket and closed the window next to me. The waitress came over and opened it again saying “we’re keeping them open”

Hubs and I went to the Blue Benn a few months ago and LOVED our breakfast!! I had the blueberry pancakes; which were light and fluffy, had a ton of blueberries in them and since the stack was too much for me to eat, I took a box home. They were equally good the next day!! Hubs had a ham and cheese omelet that he said was amazing!! We were in the area again and we were dying to try their lunch. I ordered the broiled haddock (love fried, but I'm trying to be fairly good) with mashed potatoes and coleslaw. The waitress was very nice and asked if I would like gravy on my mashed.....yes please!!! A few minutes later she brought me cottage cheese (not coleslaw, but i love CC so I took it), then my fish. The gravy was just melted butter, which again...made the potatoes taste good, and maybe their idea of gravy is butter??? The haddock was tasty and the red bliss mashed were tasty. Hubs had a turkey club which he loved. It came with hand cut fries that were crispy and fresh. He also got blueberry pancakes ti try there, and take home. Those were spot on again!!! Overall we were happy to go back and will do so again!!!

A fun spot with local flair! The Everything Bagel melt was amazing! Even though there was only one server for dinner time, she handled the ENTIRE place with speed, efficiency, and grace. Each diner was treated as though they were the only ones in the place, and yet no one seemed to wait more than an inordinate amount of time for service. The diner was clean, and very reminiscent of bygone years. We would definitely stop again if we pass this way!

We stopped here for lunch on our drive back from Burlington to New Jersey. It’s a totally random place on the side of the road that looks very unassuming from the outside, but as soon as you step inside, your transported back to the 1960s. The decor and atmosphere is extremely unique, the servers are all very much on their game (shoutout to Maddie, she was so sweet.), the menu is huge, and I have a feeling that no matter what you order it would be delicious. We got the blueberry almond pancakes with Vermont maple syrup and a grilled Mesa sandwich with sweet potato fries, both were humongous portions and absolutely delicious. If you find yourself in the Bennington area, this is a must go for lunch.

I stopped in here one morning while backpacking on the Appalachian Trail two years ago. I ordered the French toast with real maple syrup. It was literally life changing. I still tell my kids how good it was and I’m considering a special trip up from TX to have it again.

Ramunto's Brick Oven Pizza is a local favorite in Bennington, VT, offering a casual dining experience with a classic touch.

With its old-school vibe and friendly atmosphere, Ramunto's is known for its delicious pizzas made with fresh ingredients.

I have been to the Ramunto's in North Adam's, apparently same company different management. I had a 2 slice and drink. The hawaian slice was very good, the 2nd piece was a ricotta cheese, tomato and bits of broccoli. That was great. The taste was very flavourful. Although not as fancy as the other, this place is nice and peaceful.

Im my opinion the pizza was pretty bad for no reason. It was dry, with little flavor and sauce. The cashier was a bit unfriendly and would rather talk to her co workers than keep a brief eye on the only pizza order in the restaurant. Disappointing..

What happened to this place? Food used to be so good. Last two times I've ordered take out the pasta is very over cooked and instead of fresh pasta with hot sauce on top. It's all mixed in and very obviously reheated leftovers. And my meatball was rock hard Considering I live on social security I treat myself to one good meal and month and this month ramuntos was just such a miss. Really disappointed.

The live music and atmosphere were great. Seems like a lot of regulars and good vibes. The pizza was really delicious and the chicken parm definitely above average. HOWEVER, when we asked after What seems like a very long time , How much longer it might be? The response was that half an hour is not a long wait…. It is at a pizza place, lol

I used to love the pizza here . Maybe they're having staffing issues. But lady time the slices were doughy, counter service ok. Time before that I waited close to 10 min while the counter service clerk talked on the phone, presumably regarding business..... but she didn't even greet me or help me while she was on hold. Worse , T he bartender chatted idley with patrons from the patron side of the bar. Then finally got some slices and the counter service person burned them to a crisp..... Meh.... there a lot of pizza places in the area.. I hope this is a passing staffing issue.

We stopped here on the way back to Jersey from skiing in Sugarbush this past winter. HUGE portions of really great pizza and other food, my friend ordered a calzone that was the size of a manhole cover. The chef had a big grin on his face when my friend dug into it. The Sicilian pizza was some of the best I've ever had. Service was great and the people were really friendly. Wish it wasn't so far away from us. Next time we're in the area we're definitely going to stop in again.

Sunny Side Diner is a classic American diner with a warm, welcoming vibe. I had breakfast there and ordered a 3-egg omelet with American cheese and broccoli, which came with a choice of bread and potatoes. I opted for sourdough bread and home fries, along with a cup of filter coffee. The portions were generous, and everything tasted great. The service was efficient, if unremarkable. It’s clear this place is a local favorite—it was packed, with not a single table available. Another perk is the ample parking, which adds to the diner’s convenience.

This is a comfortable breakfast place. I am gluten and dairy free, and was able to order a nice breakfast. There is no dairy or gluten free option for coffee creamer or toast. Usually I bring my own plant butter and dairy free creamer, but today I forgot. Well, I was having a nice breakfast with my two brothers who I have not seen in a few years. We waited our turn to be seated. Less than 10 minutes after we paid our bill, the waitress asked us to leave!!!! I am not kidding. We were not even there for 45 minutes. She said they had other guests waiting to be seated. They had opened tables. We paid over $60 for breakfast. This is unacceptable! Bill and tip already was paid. Otherwise the tip would have been much less.

Very large and absolutely delicious. Service was good, prices are quite reasonable, and there is a restroom on the premises. They take Visa and MasterCard.

Stopped here for some healthier fare on our road trip back to Maryland. Got the whole upper foot for our multi-generational family party of fifteen. Food was good. Service was great. Parking is a little tricky for non-locals, but I didn’t ding them for that. Bennington has a cool small-town vibe and we enjoyed walking around a bit.

After several times having lunch here we still find it one of the best lunch places in the area. Charming atmosphere and nice variety of lunch offerings on the menu. My husband and I each ordered the "Quesadeli" with chicken option. We both agreed it was delicious and topped off our lunch with a peanut butter cookie and chocolate chip cookie. This was definitely a deli for my Belly. Service was terrific, even as they became busier. Victoria, our server was both very helpful and friendly. We'll definitely be back.

It’s hard for me to remember a time in Bennington without Your Belly’s Deli. The secret is not hard to find! Warm soup du jour, crisp salads, hearty sandwiches and wraps. If you still have room try the cheese cake, pie, or the cookies and brownies as large as my hand! No cheese tomato soup is really complete without a cheddar cheese grilled cheese. Call me cliché, I can live with that. (I added creamy avocados to mine) my daughter chose a broccoli and cheese quiche and my mom had an enormous Buda Belly sandwich. The Buda Belly is one of several vegetarian options. With a wide variety of delicious possibilities you really can’t go wrong. (Both carnivorous and vegetarian.) Go early on Cheesy tomato soup day!

Just got home from picking up this pizza - they clearly burnt the crust and instead of making a new one, they peeled off some of the burnt part and sold it anyway. Selling a burnt pizza you clearly knew was burnt … that’s a pretty lousy business practice.

A nice casual pizza and Italian restaurant. It was closed inside due to Covid but they have a good sized porch/deck. We ordered pizza and salads - both were good.

I personally really like Benners. Not a NY style pie or Chicago. Their pizza successfully passes the slide test and is quite flavorful. Mondays offer a large for medium price. Small venue but quite nice. 11/2023 - still the best pizza in Bennington IMHO. It is not unusual to have to wait an hour or more during peak busy time. That is for good reason - the pizza is worth the wait.

Benner's, is the place to go when you just want a little something when on main street in Bennington. Very responsible, respectful and safe -- typifying the Vermont way of coping with a pandemic. Call ahead, take out only, socially distant, accepting of both credit cards and your special needs. On the North side of main street but set back a bit, they can be hard to see when driving --so slow down. Calzones are a specialty.

Lucky Dragon, located on Main Street in Bennington, has become a local favorite for its traditional Chinese takeout dishes. The restaurant offers affordable and generous portions of sesame chicken, beef teriyaki, and flavorful rice. While the dine-in option is currently closed, customers can easily place their orders for pickup either by walking in or calling ahead. This family-owned establishment has been serving the community since the 1980s and is known for its fast service and friendly staff.
Never dined inside, as we had always got takeout. This place we have been having for rhe past 15 years, as long as I can remember, my go to was the General Tso's chicken, very good always fresh. We have always been met with kindness, we have always been doing food here, the earliest I remember was either early 2015 or 2016 based on the flight paths of JFK Airport over the area heading NW, which is the sole reason I remember this place so much. The prices have been getting slightly more expensive, but I completely could understand, by far this is the best takeout location we have had. Grandma said the Pineapple Chicken If that was the name of the dish, and if it is still on the menu after nearly 9 years, was the best for her,as Grandma had passed away in November 2016, despite us not having take out from this location in about a year, I still can't wait for my next chance.

Sesame chicken and beef teriyaki were fantastic. As was the rice. Service was good and the prices were fair. Only thing I don't like is the generic duck sauce in packets. Nobody likes that stuff. Take the time to make your own, I know alot of people that look forward to the duck sauce from a Chinese restaurant. If it's something you squeeze out of a packet like ketchup, you're doing it wrong.

Yes, I'm posting a photo of empty plates. Anyone can post a photo of their delicious food. Although the food at Lucky Dragon doesn't look any different than your typical Chinese cuisine, it's still very good. Good for the price, too. They always seem to be busy whenever we go. Sometimes the service can be a bit slow, but it's not so slow that we lose patience. So... empty plates, full tummies, satisfied customers.

Bowl didn’t have much of any flavor. The rice was long grain (odd choice) and soupy. Tacos were also soupy but not too bad. Unfortunately, not for me.

Ordered here for the first time. Had a craving for a burrito so decided to try to Avocado Pit on my way home from work. Ordered online and opted for curbside pickup so I could continue sitting in my warm car. I parked out front and waited and waited....Mt burrito never appeared so I went inside and found the restaurant empty but 3 employees sitting around laughing and carrying on. I found my cold burrito on a shelf and asked the staff why it wasn't brought out to my car. They all just stared at each other looking confused. Nobody apologized and they just said they didn't know it was curbside even though it says clearly on the bag that it's supposed to be curbside. I took my burrito back across the treacherous icy path out front and drive home. My $26 burrito after tip and fees was lack luster at best. It had no flavor and did t even taste like it had any queso. I also paid for a few extras that were very skimpy. I wouldn't recommend this place and won't ever be going back.

We stopped for lunch, I forgot my camera so no photos of the delicious regular sized burritos we ate. You build your own burritos, choice of protein, cheese, beans and sauces. They offer a mini burrito 🌯 too and build your own tacos and salads too. We had chicken, the meat was tender and the regular sized burritos was just right for a lunch stop. We ordered a bag of corn chips and mild salsa too, you have a choice on chips too, they offer them made of flour too, with mild medium or hot salsa on side. We got 2 cans of soda too and all for just about $27 until they gave us the special discount they are offering each Saturday in August, 1/2 off order! For just about $17 we ate well and will stop here again even without the special offer. We recommend and next time I’ll bring my phone for pics. It was counter ordering and seat yourself & bust your own table but that’s fine. I’d be curious to try another protein at our next visit. It was a warm summer day, the fans were in and it was comfortable inside not sure if they had AC and they offered picnic tables right outside their door.

If you’re familiar with Chipotle or Moe’s at all, Avocado Pit is very similar in that they serve burritos or burrito bowls and other items that you build with employee assistance and questions. This location is inside an old historic building so I thought the atmosphere was pretty great and the food was delicious, albeit a bit pricey. Definitely a good lunch option if you’re in downtown Bennington.

Great atmosphere, awesome service, and amazing food. I usually only eat half of my fully loaded chicken burrito 🌯 and save the rest for later. The queso and chips (corn or flour) are a must.

I was in town visiting some friends and also visiting northeastern Baptist college there as well. I heard great things about the avocado pit as it was the best Mexican food in town...at least that's what I was told. I have to agree with a tasty 'yes'! Grabbed a Pit Bowl with pork, rice beans, chipotle ranch and szoug sauce. The flavors were a great blend and super filling hearty portions.

We stayed in Bennington for the weekend and saw Papa Pete’s as we looked for restaurants in the area. Advertised as the”Home of the Giant Pancake” - it totally delivers on that promise! This is no thin crepe pancake, it is a full 14” round, 1” thick delicious behemoth of a pancake. While we were warned that it’s huge, we just didn’t comprehend how much breakfast it was. Think of a small pizza - easily feeds 3-4 people and possibly a young family of 5. We also had other breakfast plates and they were great too - the pancakes( normal sized) being the centerpiece of the meal. The vibe is home kitchen eclectic and the service is snarky and blunt ( in a fun way).

As you may know if you follow my comments, I have a very rare allergy to onions 🧅 garlic 🧄 and many other ingredients belonging to the same family. Here they have been exceptionally helpful and have adapted to my diet. Above this, and beyond the great and tasteful (and generous!) meal, I have to say they are awesome people. You feel like if you knew them all your life. You feel like if you were in family! I have no words to recommend this little paradise, how they make you feel. Cooking and heart go hand by hand here. Please, come and experience their breakfast and love.

This was one of the best breakfasts I've had in my life (and we ordered just about every breakfast item on the menu). When we walked in the door, the owner managed our expectations immediately by telling us how long our food would take to cook. We placed our orders and then waited. The waitresses were kind and helpful while taking our orders. The food was DELICIOUS. Every single food item tasted fresh and homemade - because it is. The bacon, the eggs, the potatoes (both french fries and home fries), the pancakes, the French toast, the hash, the cider, the iced tea. All perfection. 100/10 would recommend this place to anyone in the area!

We were captivated by the charm of this place at 1st glance. The fireplace was authentic and created a very inviting and romantic atmosphere! The aroma given off by the wood from the fire was comforting. The special Vday 3 corse menu was excellent along with the regular menu items. We were both big fans of the crab and lobster bisque! The service was friendly and informative and very fitting for the establishment.

Girlfriend got the bacon wrapped pork chops, it was inedible and left untouched. Felt too bad to complain but the pork was cold in the middle. Disgusting. My skirt steak tasted like charcoal and was a terrible cut. No seasoning on it at all. The “seasonal vegetables” are squash and zucchini. The worst options available, might as well call it that. Horrible meal and experience for 120$.

Fuji Hibachi is a popular Asian restaurant that arrived in Bennington approximately five years ago. It has gained fame not only for its delicious cuisine but also for offering family tables at the hibachi station. At this station, skilled chefs entertain guests by preparing their meals right before their eyes. The food is excellent and reasonably priced, with an average cost. The hibachi grill provides captivating entertainment, and the staff are welcoming and attentive.
Tasty food, large portions, great prices. The server was honest when we asked in ordering 3 dishes for two was too much. We still have leftovers after ordering 2 mains. Hibachi chicken and chicken katsu both were amazing.

Finding quality savory food in Vermont was challenging, but Fugi did not disappoint. The chicken udon and hibachi steak were supper flavorful and cooked very well. The portion sizes are huge and dishes are afforable. I was impressed to find all the sides, the rice stir fry and broccoli, paired with the steak tasted soo good. The friendly service definitely added to the experience. I would definitely recommend this pace for the food. Points were removed for the overall mood and vibe of the restaurant. It seemed a bit dark and heavy. The food is great, but I wouldn't recommend if you are looking for a complete environmental experience as well.

Bennington Pizza House is a cozy, quick-serve eatery that has been serving classic and specialty pizzas, pasta dishes, and hot sandwiches for over 50 years. While some reviewers found the pizza a bit oily, others appreciated its similarity to Brooklyn-style pizza. The generous toppings on the veggie pizza received praise, making it a great spot for those craving a hearty slice. Additionally, the restaurant offers gluten-free options and is known for its Monday night special pizza prices.
We came to visit this location last night and have to tell you that this pizza was amazing, this is the recipe I remember at the Greenwich,NY location some years ago. The dough was cooked to perfection, a nice thicker crust, a generous portion of toppings and sauce, unfortunately, it's not the same in Greenwich anymore, it's lost it's flavor and switched to a different quality of toppings. I am so glad that you kept Arthur's recipe the same, we will be back soon, keep up the great work.

I went to this establishment on Friday August 1st. Our immediate impression on the location wasn’t too great. They were clearly understaffed which is unfortunate. But the guy behind the counter making the food was taking his frustration out on other customers. A man asked to use a pen & he slammed it in front of him. I ordered 3 buffalo chicken wraps. When we finally went to eat, I noticed a red mark on the wraps paper. I suspected it to be blood, but when I saw the buffalo sauce wasn’t the same color I knew it was blood. I went to put the wrap back in the bag it came in & I noticed more blood on the paper bag. I went back into the establishment when the cook saw me he stormed off to the back. When he came back to the front counter he had a rag wrapped around his finger controlling his bleeding, as blood was dripping from his arm. He stated he didn’t know he cut himself prior to making my food. I have worked food services. He was not wearing gloves which is unsanitary at that. But to say you didn’t know you cut yourself as the blood is coming down your arm is absolutely unacceptable. I got a refund for my order & I will never return to this place again. Please mandate gloves in your establishment.

Went down hill bad. Ain't had in years went back finally and found out it was sold which explains why the pizza is swimming in a liter of Greece with some disrespectful lady complaining that a Karen has a complaint yeah look at this disgusting thing. Only slice missing is in my dogs GUT 🤣. He enjoyed it. We didn't. 33 napkins used and still dripping. Light mushroom yet handfuls of it. This place went down hull extremely. Then call to get a refund but no one's able to do so no managers in. No one manages the place which explains why it's so bad. When u ask for light mushrooms u get EXTRA EXTRA. Make sure to ask to hold the Greece or like the peperoni, your pizza to will be swimming in it. So bad it went threw the cardboard pouring out like a faucet. WISH THE OLD OWNERS STILL MADE THE PIZZA. When you ask for lite mushrooms ask for lite lite because it was still loaded like handfuls of ridiculous amounts of mushrooms. Accidents happen but they did make it up and fix. However the experience is not all bad they are very friendly people and always have a beautiful welcoming feel. Just greece and way way to much. So much that it legit dripped threw the bottom of the cardboard. Take a moment and dab it up before serving.

The six tables at Taan are draped in white tablecloths and adorned with sparkling glassware. On a recent Saturday evening, only three of the six tables were occupied; the waitron/host Nikki said they could probably accommodate us for dinner, checked with the chef, and said as long as we didn't mind waiting, they'd be happy to serve us. We didn't mind waiting for cooked to order food! I ordered a glass of rose ($8). After we ordered, we were served a delightful amuse bouche that my husband pronounced "the best gyoza I've ever had." The contrast of textures (crispy shell with soft savory filling), temperatures (hot fried dumpling and cold salad), and flavors (chicken and vegetables, the spicy sweet dressing) were perfectly paired. He ordered Tom Gha Gai -- Thai Coconut Chicken Soup ($15), and I ordered Laab Gai -- Thai Salad ($15). We'd agreed to share, but swapped 1/3 through, because the lettuce cups were too spicy for my milder palate (though, the taste was amazing!). The soup was exquisite: shreds of white meat chicken with halved sweet, tangy cherry tomatoes, tiny mushroom quarters, and slivered shallots is the most flavorful coconutty, chickeny, lemongrassy broth I've ever had, with undercurrents of lime and ginger, garnished with sweet basil. We were delighted to receive a sorbert course as a palate cleanser - it was cold, creamy, sweet, and delightful with a leafy green garnish. Next, the chef came out with sparkling rose for the table with a gentlemen celebrating his birthday. We all sang to our new friend, and then everyone got a glass of wine (90+ Cellars Lot 197 Prosecco Rose), an unexpected treat that paired perfectly with Gaeng Phed Ped Yang -- Roasted Duck Curry entree ($45) we'd selected: the prosecco's strawberry lemon tang cut through the succulent, fatty duck and creamy sauce. The duck was expertly cooked, with a perfect meat-to-fat ratio on each neat slice. Again, the flavor pairings were amazing: mild yellow peppers, sweet, non-stringy pineapple, and more sweet cherry tomatoes and basil. The entree was accompanied by a soup tureen of brownish-purple rice berries: a delicious toothy, nutty, satisfying accompaniment. Executive Chef Jariya Wannapat came out to check on us and told us the rice berry is expensive but authentic, and very nutritious. All of the ingredients that could be local and organic were, and she was very proud that her traditional recipes did not include any GMOs, additives, or preservatives. Wannapat learned to cook from her mother, and worked in restaurants in San Francisco before returning to Thailand to attend culinary school. Throughout the evening, Nikki provided classic white glove service, serving from the left and removing from the right, unobtrusively refilling water glasses, replacing a dropped napkin, and being attentive but not overly solicitous. Her warm greeting and introduction when we arrived made us feel like we were at a meal with friends, and the dinner, served family style, meant we could ask for seconds if we wished (the serving sizes were perfect and satisfying). We were, in fact, too full to choose one of the two fruit-forward desserts, and told Chef and Nikki we would return just to get dessert the next evening. The Chef asked us to pick one, and packed Mango Sticky Rice to go. We ate it about two hours later, and it was, again, perfectly balanced: sweet/sour, soft/firm, and likely, hot pudding/fruit when served. At room temperature, it was absolutely wonderful. The entire meal was gluten and dairy-free, and the presentations were fresh, simple, colorful, and attractive. Taan: The Cuisine of Siam presents a delicious, thoughtful, sophisticated dining experience grounded in authenticity and attention to detail, for a very reasonable price. Every element of our meal and service was impeccable. I like Thai food, but my husband is more of a fan, and he said it was not only the best Thai food he's ever had, but it was one of the best meals, period, he's ever had in his life. It was as if each dish was the Platonic ideal of the dish. We can't wait to go back.

Phonetically speaking, Kob Koon Khop means thank you in Thai - and a big thank you to this hidden little gem of a restaurant located in the South Shire luxury small hotel in lovely Bennington VT. My wife and I are rabid fans of Thai cuisine and the TAAN restaurant in this hotel ranks very high in our hierarchy of favorites. If this delight was in the DC area, we would be weekly regulars for sure! Front of the house is managed by Fon and he is the consummate cordial professional - welcoming and warm. The chef is a lovely and delightful restauranteur, her name is Jariya. After supper she stopped by the table to say hello - her warm smile was dessert! The food was spicy and tasty without being too hot or too sweet. Delicious! Generous portion, served on china dishes with antique flatware. The Shire is a late 1800s era mansion and the TAAN is a small 6 table formal dining room - you will definitely need a reservation! Well worth a visit! Gorgeous property, great restaurant!

The Angry Egg Two is a family-owned and operated breakfast and lunch cafe that recently expanded to Bennington, following the success of its original location in Manchester, CT. The restaurant prides itself on using locally sourced ingredients and supporting the local community by showcasing local artworks and products. Customers can enjoy a variety of dishes including breakfast sandwiches, omelets, waffles, and lunch items.
A Hearty Stop in Vermont... ​When we're in Vermont, we make it a point to stop at The Angry Egg2. My husband always gets his favorite, the Greek Omelette with a side of fruit. I love to switch it up, but I've never been disappointed. The Avocado Toast is fantastic, and the Angry Sammich (I get mine with bacon, egg, Swiss, chipotle mayo, and arugula on an English muffin) is the perfect start to the day. ​It's a consistently delicious breakfast spot that's well worth a visit. Highly recommend!

We love Angry Egg Two! We live a few blocks away and come in every Sunday for breakfast as a treat! My 2 top favorite dishes are eggs Benny and the waffle sammich with the flavored coffee. I believe the only other place in Bennington that serves eggs Benny is Papa Pete's down the road, but out of the 2, I definitely prefer AE2's version. The hollandaise is perfect, and the homefries are nicely seasoned and crispy. The waitresses are prompt and friendly, and the food is good quality, generously portioned, and affordable. What more can you want for a casual, locally-owned diner experience? They often have free and talented live music playing on Sundays at 11, so plan according to your preference and / or hearing ability/disability. After breakfast, you can walk up and down the street and check out the other great local shops. It's a perfect Sunday if you ask me!

Wow! I am currently hiking the AT, and these are by far the best pancakes I have ever had. Great, clean place, and you can tell everyone on the staff cares about the service they provide. Eat here if you are hungry; I highly recommend it. Thank you for a great breakfast!

Gluten free pancakes and toast were good! Eggs and home fries were standard. Staff was super friendly. Seems like a place that locals really like to go, and there was a live music duo setting up to play as we were leaving. The layout is strange though, with the booths pulled away from the wall so there is awkward space on the side of your table. Also, a lot of open space in the middle with a giant host podium, where you'd think tables would be. It's odd-looking overall, but the food and staff are worth it.

Absolutely amazing meal. Server was fast, knowledgeable and kind. Food was amazing. Super chill vibe. Coffee was solid. Very robust breakfast menu. Not your typical “greasy spoon” garbage like some of the other places in town. Had the Classic eggs bene and the Angry Hash. Loved it all. Home fries were perfect and tasted like French fry nuggets. Bene was delicious. Angry hash is angry as hell and a nice kick to start the morning. Only mistake was we saw delicious looking hot chocolate being served to another table replete with candy canes and we should’ve gotten that too. Did not eat lunch but menu looks solid and a nice draft list to select from. I don’t understand the negative reviews. This is such a silly town. Highly recommended unless you have wooden teeth and don’t understand how breakfast works. Wonderful time.

The food was awesome and the staff was amazing. The Sunday I visited there was live music being played. I live in the Buffalo NY area and just for the French toast I would drive the 340 miles one way to eat that dish again. Would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting the Bennington VT area.

Terrific modern bistro in the heart of historic Bennington. Ask about the daily specials, that is where I found my terrific Carbonara dish. I can also recommend their Classic Canoli (have some ice cream on the side, as I did). Excellent service, great food, plus live music. Had a wonderful experience!

Our visit here was quite good. All of our food was great. The food seemed to come out a little slow, but the service was otherwise good. We were just passing through, but I would go back if I was in this area more often. They used only plain paper menus which was a bit of a detraction from the overall experience.

Fantastic food, friendly service, dog friendly outdoor seating. They don’t accept reservations but we (a party of four) and my dog walked right in for an outdoor table on a Saturday evening a little before 6p. We were there for dinner vs drinks/beer as none of us are big drinkers. We started with two serving of the grilled beef kofta kebabs drizzled with a spicy sauce. They were seasoned well, a bit more rare would have been our preference, nevertheless tasty. Two of us had the beef stroganoff over papparadelle and two, the grilled bourbon salmon over a farro, green apple, arugula salad. Both were outstanding!! We’re sure the drinks are good but here’s four thumbs up for the food. Highly recommend and we’ll be back on our next visit!

Great new addition to the Bennington restaurant and bar scene. We went for drinks and found a diverse menu of cocktails, huge draft beer list, and great wines to choose from. Other spirits are available if you desire a custom libation. The atmosphere is relaxed and has a fun vibe. Other folks were enjoying their meals and we felt that it was a great experience on opening night!

The staff at the deli were friendly, but there is a major disconnect between what is on the menu and what is actually served to the customer. We ordered 2 warm Tuscan chicken breast sandwiches, featured on the menu as specialty sandwiches at $14 each. To our dismay, what we received was a sandwich filled with the remnants and scraps from a roaster(some were cold by the way) that included generous amounts of skin, slim and dark stringy parts from chicken legs, grizzle and wing cartilage. We removed most of the meat as it was unappetizing. When I brought this to the attention of the deli staff person who took our order she was polite but stated that they do not buy chicken breasts but buy roasters. I suggested that they correct their menu as we paid for a chicken breast and received straps. Very poor quality deli experience and very overpriced for what you get. For $14 the sandwich comes with a pickle and a handful of stale potato chips. I’ve attached photos of the menu and the sandwich. I will not be returning to the deli at the Community Market nor can I recommend it to others.

The deli counter waitperson was short tempered after we ordered from the wall menu and we were informed about the turkey was out of stock so she stood there getting more impatient and when we decided on an alternative selection she sends another worker in front and he takes another customer order who stepped in front of us the first wait person ignored this, this has happened multiple times we were trying to get service and I am through paying for rude treatment and will relate my sentiment whenever the chances present.

Customers have praised the delicious food, fast and friendly service, and the welcoming atmosphere for families with young children. While some found the prices slightly high, they acknowledged that it's common for new establishments.
First time here and happy to have it in the neighborhood. We got a few apps and a burger. There earlier with our 2 year old and baby but didn't feel like we bothered anyone. Everything was delicious, the service was fast and friendly. We will definitely be back. Love this place still and pray that more locals make it a regular thing so it stays open. The menus change which is really nice and specials are always worth a try. We often stop in to grab a drink and snack in one of the front window spots.

A restaurant/pub may be a year old. Beautiful inside.. very welcoming, hightops, low tables, or a couple of couches under the front windows. There also is a pool table in a separate room. Our server was welcoming and was handling the whole restaurant. The food was good, which comes with a choice of a side. It is a very large portion. Go check it out.

I was initially hesitant to order a steak at a bar, but I really wanted a steak so ordered one for dinner tonight and it was good. My wife ordered the Korean BBQ and it was tasty but the meat was of poor quality and was chewy with lots of grizzle, so don’t order it! Service was quite slow, fear only one waitress was working so gave her a break but definitely do not plan to return, unless you have a few hours to spare.

The music was good and the wings were good. But it took around an hour before the waitress told us that the food was coming out slowly and it would be a while. We were off to see a play and so left. They discounted the wings. Bottom line she says reservations are served first. Make a reservation. And maybe wait. We ate some wings. It was an hour after we arrived and still no sign of our meal but only word that the kitchen was busy.

8 people went last night and the server informed us that they were out of crab wontons and Korean BBQ. That was fine. We placed our order and 3 people were going to get the French dip. As it comes to my turn to order we were then told they were out of that too. We ordered fish and chips. My husband ordered a chicken sandwich and another friend ordered chicken Alfredo with crispy chicken. After the apps were eaten the server then announces to the Alfredo guy that they are out of crispy chicken and asked if they could substitute with grilled. Why they couldn't fry a peice of the grilled chicken, but maybe it's frozen and not fresh? And of course my husband's sandwich came out grilled but she didn't ask him if that was OK, but we just wanted to get through this meal so didn't say anything. They forgot his onion rings and again we didn't say anything because everything was taking a while or forgotten about. The fish fry was practically inedible. The grease must of been old or cold? The amount of grease soacked in the batter was gross. The fish was watery, the breading was not crispy but soft and oil filled along with everyone's French fries. We waited a long time for my husband's meal to come out after everyone was almost done eating as well as waiting for requested drinks and condiments. The server was sweet but things were forgotten and ketchup should come before you bring fries out or at least within a couple of minutes after asking not 10 minutes after. We made reservations and allowed 2 hours for our meal as we had reservations 5 minutes down the road for a play. I had to walk the bill up to the hostess stand and because it had cash and a card she called the server over to take our check to the bar to cash us out meanwhile she had food in the window to run to another table that looked to be having a similar experience as we were. I didn't want to bother the server and take her away from running hot food. But I did think the hostess could cash out. The hostess didn't go run the food. There was no one else waiting to be sat. We kept hearing the kitchen is backed up but the restaurant didn't seem that busy. Not to mention the 1/2" thick white dust everywhere. Almost like they did a remodel and recently sanded but didn't clean up the sheet rock dust? I do not write reviews but this was a night out with my closest friends who traveled an hour or more to have a meal together and see a play. We spent a lot of money doing so. And best thing yet, there were 8 of us so the 20% tip is automatic even though we didn't get onion rings, condiments requested came after half of us were finished, 1/4 of the menu wasn't available and the food that did come out wasn't prepared properly. The fish and chips was probably the worst. Everything else was OK. The atmosphere was pretty good and thankfully the server and hostess were very nice so tipping her 20% was fine with us because a lot of the issues were with the food. Hate to write anything negative but this was our experience.

Stopped in for ice cream and we were rewarded with an amazing corn ice cream! Yes, it was so good, and we've had good corn ice cream before (New York's Chinatown Ice Cream Factory in the 80's and Lares Heladeria in PR) and this is one of the best. Had the blood orange Gelato too and also loved that. Ill also add the owners were so nice explaining how they made the ice cream and thanking us for liking their ice cream (ha, ha, the pleasure is literally all mine). Nephew loves their chocolates and their butter toasted peanuts (I liked those too). Definitely a great sweet tooth stop.

But it's not just chocolate mouses to get you all excited to come into the door they sell the world's most amazing and delicious gelato Yes that's right gelato ice cream from the gods that was bequeathed to the Italians by Zeus\Apollo himself! I had the pumpkin flavored and it was spun into The most delicious milkshake I have ever drank in my entire life Most of my photos are going to be of all of the chocolate confections that are handmade and mouth watering It is almost an overwhelming experience all the different varieties and choices to choose from but as the saying goes you'll be like a kid in a candy shop

The Village Chocolate Shoppe draws many people into town with their large variety of amazing handmade treats. Fudge is available in many flavors as well as the traditional chocolate candies one would expect. They also have many decadent chocolate creations that you can't find anywhere else, the peanut butter Oreos covered in chocolate is one of my favorites. There are many seasonal items at great prices for all of your holiday gifting and they also have Vermont themed items. It's a warm and inviting environment as you watch the owners and friendly workers making their products. They also have gelato and ice cream available, so make sure to stop in anytime of the year to satisfy your sweet tooth. I will never forget cheering the crew on when they set the world record for making the largest Peanut Butter Cup a few years back!

The thin-crust pizzas are known for their unique combinations and fresh flavors, such as the "Margie" (a local take on margherita) and the Poppa with an egg. The salads are also a hit, although some find them a bit bland, but this can easily be remedied with the variety of toppings available.

Bennington Pizza Plaza is a delightful spot that offers a fantastic pizza experience with its zesty sauce and high-quality mozzarella cheese. The crust strikes the perfect balance—not too thick, yet not overly thin—featuring a crispy edge that adds to its appeal. While the steak and cheese sandwich may not be everyone's favorite, other subs shine brightly on the menu. Guests rave about generous portions at reasonable prices; for instance, one visitor enjoyed a small tuna sub while their partner savored stuffed shells.

I've been eating with this family for over 50 years through 2 locations and at least three generations of ownership. Its hard to find Greek style pizza and the yummy meatball subs are virtually unchanged since the beginning. Unfortunately, they seem very hesitant to hire more help and service is suffering. I haven't seen more than 2 people working at once. It's hard to get anyone on the phone if you're calling in an order, it rings and rings. I called one day last week to order a meatball sub. It rang and rang and when she answered I was told they were not making subs that night. One night I drove there because I couldn't get anyone on the phone (about a 20 minute drive but when you've got a craving!) and was told they didn't make the meatball subs nor did they make pizzas on that day of the week (I think it was a Sunday). They need more than 2 people. I will continue to go there but will definitely call ahead!

Nice clean environment and convenient location. Prices are fine, and the pizza sauce is good. But, the service was indifferent at best. Not a smile in sight. The guy at the Counter seemed sulky. Also, the pizza dough was raw! Really raw. I told the guy at the counter, and he said, "That shouldn't have happened," but he didn't offer to comp us or anything, so: money wasted.

Was staying nearby in town overnight and due to the hour decided on pizza. We were really disappointed in what was just a plain sausage and pepperoni pizza. The garlic cheesebread we ordered as a side had more flavor than the pizza did. Neither the sausage or pepperoni had much flavor and most of the sausage appeared to be sausage casing, not the meat. I wish I would have gone to a national place vs. getting something local. Not worth the price paid by any imagination.

Pizza is dry....lack of cheese. Used to be decent I think they're cutting corners and it shows. Ordered wings...told they don't sell wings anymore. Unusual but ok I guess. Ordered a wrap for my wife....they were out of wraps. I tried to order a tuna sub. They were out of tuna. Settled on a cheese pizza for the kids....they wouldn't eat more than one piece each because it was so dry and just blah. Wife and I got steak grinders....omg DRY! Ordered with mayo and steak sauce....came with neither. Bland is all I can say. final note, when i went in to pay asked the guy how he was doing....he said I'd be better if I didn't have to work here! The apathy came through in quality and service. Don't waste your $$$. You've been warned!

Sorry to see this place close. I first started coming here 6yrs ago for ice cream... this time we had the lobster rolls...delicious. . Have hard and soft ice cream. Hot dogs, hamburgers,french fries and lots of other great food choices. Brooke,the Manager, is friendly and loves to interact with her customers. Family owned. Not many places to eat anymore,especially a good outdoor place.

Huge menu! Burger was great, as was the footling hotdog. Lobster roll was not worth the price. Make sure you check out the BLT!

Shocked to find a solid lobster roll so far inland! The roll was buttered and crispy, lobster was perfect, my wife thought the sauce was a bit heavy but I liked it. Waffle fries and burger were good also. But I'm definitely going back and making some crazy flurry combos. This place is a hidden gem right on the side of the road.

Stopped by for ice cream after a nice hike through Robert Frost trail. The line here was not too long and service was friendly. We ordered 2 blizzards, mine was Oreo cookie and my husband's was Peanut butter cup. They were delicious. We ordered the small size, which was plenty for us and reasonable at $4 each. We'll be back soon.

Dunkin' is a beloved, long-established chain known for its signature breakfast offerings and an extensive selection of coffee beverages. During my visit to one of their locations, I was pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness and friendly atmosphere. The staff were attentive, checking in on my order as I waited at the pickup shelf. True to Dunkin's reputation, the food met expectations with delicious flavors and perfectly filled drinks that hit the spot. It's always a reliable choice for a quick breakfast or caffeine fix!
One of the cleaner Dunkins I’ve been to, hey boys asked me what I’m waiting for when I go up to the pick up shelf, and make sure they work on mine because they know I’m there. Nice people, the food is what I would expect, and properly filled drinks.

I ordered a dozen donuts through the app at 7:05. I arrived 10 minutes later and my ordered wasn't filled but the slip was on the shelf. I stood watching all the other orders that came in after mine get filled and sit there. I politely asked if my donut ordere could be filled and was told there were only two people working. A couple minutes later a different girl went to take an order from a woman who came in after me. I grabbed my slip and said, "Can I please have this filled? I was here before this woman and the order was placed at 7:05." I was then told by the employee that I didn't need to have an attitude. She filled my order while lecturing me and sharing the store isselues for the morning. Happy Friday!

It used to be quite good but as of late (September 2025) it's gone down hill fast. I've ordered a grilled cheese, it's not toasted I just got a cheese sandwich. Anything with egg's regularly taste's awful, most of the time either it tastes rotten or like some sort of chemical cleaner. Everything that is supposed to be toasted it normally cold, no toasted bagel's just round bread. The drinks have been very very messy lately, they don't even try and clean up the cup they just give it to you with half of the coffee dripping out. Also, they've been refusing to put syrup inside the cup in drinks that are supposed to have it like that Mocha crunch frozen coffee or the cookie swirl one. Want yummy crunch bacon? Nope, flacid stringy bacon. Most of the employee's are unfriendly or just downright rude, though other's are really sweet and friendly. One more final thing, they keep refusing to give me pumpkin syrup they keep saying that's not a thing, but the dunkin in Troy gives me the pumpkin syrup inside the cup and on top of the whipped cream. Anyway, that's the end of my list of complaints, I really hope they learn how to toast there food and clean there damn cups. :<

Several days in a row, I walk in at 5 o’clock and get ignored for 10 minutes while the clerks all race around madly, serving the drive-through window. Customers don’t know where to stand on line. Watch order after order get served at the drive-through window while we’re being ignored. So then the customer start walking out of the store. The appropriate thing to say is “we will be with you in a few minutes. Sorry for the delay.” And they need to treat the in-store customers better, not like second class citizens.

My dad made an order on the app for 9:35, but when I got there only the coffee were done, but they didn’t get the dozen donuts we ordered. So I waited there patiently since I noticed that the workers were super busy and I didn’t want to further stress them out. But after 30 minutes they still hadn’t gotten my dozen donuts, but completed multiple door dashes and front counters orders. Eventually, I stood in front of the mobile order station and one of the workers saw me and asked me what I needed, I said I needed the dozen donuts for my mobile order and she “okay” and got them. I wasn't expecting any big apology or explanation, but I was surprised she didn’t at least say “sorry”. I definitely weren’t say this Dunkin is terrible, and most of the time they are amazing and quick, but this just was a very bad experience.
Aderyn — Google review
It was an odd setup. Cashier took our orders over by the drive-thru line even though we walked into the establishment. Even though there was a register right in front of where the donuts were to take orders who came in through the front door. Very awkward. And hard to hear over the open window for the drive-thru. Other than that the food was pretty good. I got a chicken wrap and my wife got a pumpkin spice drink with a donut. Never been to one of these before so it's kind of fun experience.

I asked for a Berry Burst for my son and they said the Blueberry Refresher. I corrected them and they said that they call the blueberry refresher a berry burst. I came out and gave my son his drink and told him and he said someone has to be not good at their job to mix that up since the berry burst is a dunkin energy and not a refresher.

Wouldn't leave a star if I didn't have to. They always mess up the order and then tonight showed up at 5p.m and they refused service saying they shut the ovens off when they don't close until 7. Absolutely ridiculous and corporate could care less.

Nestled in the charming town of Bennington, Vermont, THE FREEZ is a delightful fast-food haven that specializes in frozen treats while also offering a variety of burgers, hot dogs, and classic sides. This nostalgic spot has been serving up joy since 1950 and remains one of the few original locations still delighting customers with its soft serve ice cream. Visitors can enjoy their meals while soaking in the quirky nautical-themed decor that adds to the whimsical atmosphere.
Reasonably priced, homey ice cream place. Cash only. Vermont shake was good but could’ve had more maple syrup. Crunch topping on soft serve is supposedly nuts but I couldn’t identify what kind.
Ben L — Google review
I’ve been going here for over 20 years. The customer service is always great. The owners always have a positive attitude. The ice cream is always good. But the sizes of ice cream is inconsistent. For 4.00$ I got a kiddie scoop. Usually much bigger than the picture, not that I needed more. But it was a very small serving for 4.00$ the picture is not a plastic cup but more like a small pudding cup. Other times the ice cream is more like 5oz. This is not. Besides the price and inconsistent sizes of the ice cream, this place is a good place to be.

I was surprised how long we waited for our sandwiches until I tasted mine (hot pastrami). It was delicious and it was clear that a lot of care went into making the sandwich. At the price we paid, I was expecting a small side of fries or potato chips, but that wasn't included. Prices all over Vermont are high. The variety is great.

Asked for a soft serve in a sugar cone. Got a regular cone and the young lady asked for $2 more than shown on the window menu. She said certain flavors are more expensive. What about the sugar cone? She literally brought me an empty cone. Sigh... I had a line behind me so didn't quibble. The flavor of the soft serve was of a chemical nature and was terrible. I won't be returning.

We stopped by The Freez recently, hoping for a quick, nostalgic Vermont dairy bar dinner—but unfortunately, it didn’t live up to expectations. Even though we were the only customers there, the food took over 15 minutes to come out. They only accept cash, and prices were surprisingly high: $6.95 for fries and $6 for a thin, McDonald ’ 's-style burger on a dry, stale bun-- no sides, no drink, no pickle. The condiments and kitchen look pretty worn for the wear and it seems like nothing is fresh. It’s also worth noting the location—right on a very busy road—which makes it a tricky spot to bring young kids. For a family of four, with no drinks, desserts, or sides, we still paid over $60 for a terrible meal no one was happy with. There are much better local spots nearby with great food, atmosphere, and service. I’d skip The Freez for a meal—but if you’re craving ice cream, it might be worth a quick stop.

Pretty decent service inside, only had 3 or 4 employees working so the key is patience here. You will get your order but it might not be as fast as you'd like. No places really to sit inside, it looks as though maybe renovations of some sort started then stopped. The womans bathroom door handle is a bit messed up and broken but still usable.

My whole order was completely wrong. I ordered two bacon egg and cheese croissant sandwiches both sandwiches had some kind of tissue inside of them it was absolutely disgusting. I ordered two wake up wraps with bacon, egg and cheese, but it came with it sweet pepper bacon which my kids don’t eat so they didn’t eat their food I asked for three different donuts, one jelly donuts, one vanilla frosted donut with sprinkles and one strawberry doughnut with sprinkles and instead I received two chocolate donuts, which none of us like either not only all this but it took them a whole hour to prepare the order and the whole thing was absolutely disgusting The worst Dunkin’ Donuts in history
Natasha — Google review
I was disappointed with my experience at this Dunkin Donuts. I completely understand when people have a bad day at work. Especially in fast food/retail. It's no secret that a lot of employees are underpaid, especially for the amount of things they have to put up with during customer service. However, I really don't believe the employees should take it out on customers who are NOT a part of those problems. With that disclaimer out of the way, I'll move on to my visit to this location. I arrived to pick up my food and two drinks at the pickup counter, while a worker was standing right next to the counter. Realizing that I don't have the grip strength to hold 2 drinks and two bags of food, I tried to get the workers attention by saying "Hi there!" I'll give her the benefit of the doubt and say she didn't hear me that time, so I said "Excuse me ma'am." Again no acknowledgement. I tried again. "Excuse me ma'am, can I get a cup holder?" This time she snaps her head up and said "I don't know okay?? I didn't make your drinks. Like, I don't know alright?" While shrugging her shoulders exaggeratedly. I was taken aback so I said "just a cup holder for the drinks please, I can't carry them" She acted very exasperated and threw her hands up a lot, like I was asking for some insane request and said "okay??? A cup holder???" And I just nodded. She brought a large stack of the drink holders out (Idk why she didn't just take one off herself and give it to me but again I'll just be devil's advocate) and had me peel off the top one while giving me instructions and then went back to making whatever she was doing at first. I don't know why she was so upset with me, I was very cordial. I assume it's just very busy or something but I just had a bad experience. Maybe it'll be different for you. I've heard some other stories about the service there but they aren't my stories to tell. The drinks were okay. They forgot sugar in mine so it was just strong coffee with milk and not a lot of chocolate. (Mocha Iced Coffee) My only other complaint is the sandwich I bought had very undercooked bacon on it. The texture was more akin to Canadian bacon by how chewy and floppy it was. Might have been a little unsafe honestly it was pink instead of red.

Not enough staff,can barely count change. Wait time is ridiculous. No one at the main register in the front had to walk over to mobile pick up to place order. The two girls that are "working " are more interested in socializing than getting orders done and out. This is sad especially since we are just visiting this is definitely a location we will not come back to if in the area

Unfortunately, this location only gets a two-star rating, the place is dirty, and a bit worn out. Time for renovation! More importantly, I stood and waited for someone to take my order at a virtually empty counter, the two employees seemed too busy with one or two drive-thru orders to come take my order. I just turned around and left after almost 5 minutes of waiting. Probably should have used the app. On a positive note, Tesla superchargers on location 🔌⚡

If you're on the hunt for a casual dining experience that lets you customize your meal, look no further than Subway.

Went inside to order. Seemingly, a very busy location, not so much with foot traffic but , the workers seemed to be very busy building online customers sandwiches, since we were the only ones there physically, but they were scrambling. Got our order in an acceptable time, about 15 min from when we entered to when we left. Clean location and friendly staff. Convenient location, right on North Main St in Bennington. Parking was ample and convenient. The cost for 2, foot long ham and cheese grinders was approx $27.

Worst customer service in the history of customer service. The guy who finished making my sandwich literally threw it on the counter at me when I asked him for my cookies he grabbed those out and threw those on the counter through a bag on the counter for me to bag my own sandwich. Henry David has amnesia preventing the curse for replacing his fairy tail story with States memories. He was disrespectful the entire time my friend and I were in there. She said this is not the first time that she's ever dealt with him being disrespectful and rude. This is the first time I've ever gone to the subway and I will never go back. If I could have rated this zero Stars I would have. We were in there for more than 40 minutes with only one customer in front of us.

If I'm paying $9 for a chopped salad, it would be great if it was a CHOPPED salad. When I asked for it to be chopped, since I ordered it... chopped, and put in the online order notes "please chop", the employee refused and was rude about it. I may as well go buy the ingredients and build it myself since I'm doing all the prep work anyway.🤦‍♀️ Who would even choose not to chop entire slices of salami on their salad? Man common sense... I get a 30 minute lunch break. Gonna spend 1/3rd of it cutting my salad 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Today I made a purchase of 4 Value Meals. I waited but not too long, I received my food portion of my order and NO Drinks. I waited a few minutes longer and finally asked the girl at the counter politely where my drinks were? She told me that she did not take my order and that I needed to show my receipt. She was standing at the counter while I placed my order. I showed my receipt; was given a hard time as they now had to pour 4 drinks. I asked for two of them to be with no ice and the girl snapped back at me that they could only do that with Manger approval. Being now irritated I requested to speak to the Manager. She came forward. I explained why I was unhappy. Requested two drinks with no ice, and she refused. The girl at the counter stated that she had not taken my order. She was partially correct. The girl she replaced was taken from the counter mid-order and sent to another job. The manager asked what drinks I had ordered rather than looking at my receipt as they seem very anal about; and as she was filling the drink order the original counter person told her that I had ordered Root beers for the order. I give this a 1 star at Best! Complete lack of cooperation, coordination, and Team leadership. Rude personnel and the Manager did nothing to honor my very simple request of no ice in two drinks. Way to treat costumers after you folks make a mistake! I will tell all of my enemies as I will not recommend them to my friends! My Order was #242. Check out the pic. I have a receipt!

How could i possibly complain about our 1 and only McDonald’s in Bennington?! Thanks to this McDonald’s, we don’t have to drive to cross state lines to North Adams, MA or Troy, NY. I’ve found that when the drive-thru is packed, the lobby and/or mobile order with non-drivethru pickup is the way to go. Bathroom has always been clean when i’ve used it, and the food has always been exactly what you should expect from a McDonald’s. Great staff to interact with, in my opinion also. Thankful for this location and all who work there keeping it running!

Went there yesterday. We were seated with menus and didn't get waited on for about 10 minutes. We placed a drink order (2 sodas), a small order of wings and a pizza. 10 minutes later, wings arrived. Then sat there for another 30 minutes waiting for pizza. Finally I got up to ask how much longer for the pizza. (They were not busy. There were only 2 other tables waiting for food). I was told that it was going to be a few more minutes because they had to make another pizza as the one we ordered got stuck to the pan. I asked for the check to pay for the wings and sodas, it was $18. Then we left. Almost an hour wasted waiting for pizza that never came. Never again. Stay away from this place. By the way, we passed by the salad bar on the way to the table and it was messy and dirty. Didn't order the salad bar because it looked so bad.

KFC, the beloved restaurant chain famous for its iconic buckets of fried chicken, offers a delightful array of combo meals and sides that cater to every craving. Recently, I had an enjoyable evening with my family at one of their locations. The food was just as delicious as I anticipated, especially the apple turnover which I couldn't resist ordering more of before leaving! During my visit to KFC in Bennington, VT—an hour's drive away—I was eager to try their new wraps.
Had a great experience here tonight. Our meals were what we hoped for and all delicious. I didn't get to take a picture of the 3pc meals and chicken sandwiches but I nabbed a pic of the apple turnover which I absolutely loved so I ordered more before we left. 😍❤️ My thanks and gratitude to the staff tonight: (names I remember - hope I don't leave someone out or get them wrong) Paul, Dwight, Betty, & Josh I think.) We had a nice night out with our family and appreciated our food and a nice clean space to sit, eat, and chat. :) :)

HORRENDOUS! I went there on a Monday afternoon at 4pm and ordered 6 tacos, nothing complicated. No one else was in the restaurant ahead of me, the employees were just standing around talking to each other. After waiting 15 minutes, I asked for my money back. The manager told me that I had an attitude and there were 20 drive thru and internet app orders ahead of me and they get priority. Got my refund and left.

I ordered pick up at this location to be done at 5:11 after getting there 20 minutes later my order was not done yet and have been told that they hadn’t started it so I waited until almost an hour went by since my order was made and I asked the manager and she told me that the KFC orders were already done and then told me that maybe my order was wrong and that it was at a different location, which, after telling her that it was the right location and giving her the confirmation number then found it behind the counter at the pick up station that have been sitting there for close to an hour. I’ve never had any bad reps for KFC ever, but this is the first time I’ve ever had to wait an hour for food and then get told to my face that maybe it was my issue.

The food there was amazing, I order a 16pc of tenders and a 36pc nugget and took 5 minutes for me to get my food but overall it was worth the wait. Plus they where short on staff that day. If you want some good chicken or tacos this is definitely the place if you don't mind waiting a bit. If it's busy though it gonna be a bit of a wait.

Very slow even if you’re the only person in line at 7pm at night waiting outside their drive thru window for twenty minutes just for one box of three piece chicken and two sides. The Mac and cheese tasted like plastic so who knows how long that was sitting around. The coleslaw was dry. No apology for making me wait long and if the fools didnt charge my card before making me wait for those twenty minutes I would’ve drove away after waiting five. This location should honestly be shut down seeing these ppl can’t handle it who are employed at this place..

Waited 25 min in the drive thru. Was 1 car in front of me. Went inside for my food and it was cold and tasted like it had been sitting there for a year. They said they were waiting on biscuits..I didn't order a biscuit. Terrible food and even worse service (well they were both pretty much the same...awful!)

I drove all the way to Bennington VT ( an hour ) just to try the new wraps. I had the spicy mac & cheese wrap & the honey BBQ. I was so excited that I ate half of one before I took a pic. I rate the Mac & Cheese wrap a 7. It had a big piece of chicken, but it needed a little more flavor. The honey BBQ had a smaller piece of chicken which was disappointing, so it gets an 8 for the flavor.

Taco Bell is a vibrant fast-food chain that specializes in delicious Mexican-inspired dishes, offering an array of options like tacos, quesadillas, and nachos. For those transitioning to vegetarianism or even veganism, Taco Bell can feel like a culinary haven with its creative menu items such as the 7-layer burrito and the beloved cheesy potato griller.
Miranda was so pleasant taking our order. Polite, smiling, clear in her communication and got everything right! We were taking a long drive home and popped in for food, the service was quick and our order was correct, we sat down to eat and all tables were clean! Thank you Miranda and team. 4 stars for atmosphere only because it was a tad cold inside.

Most of our order was wrong and the parts that were right were cold and looked like they’ve been sitting out for days. They forgot our nacho cheeses, our burrito, our cheesy fiesta potatoes; we didn’t get the right hard tacos, our chalupas only had chicken and the hard tacos only had meat and lettuce. The five layer burritos were missing the nacho cheeses too and too dry to eat. They didn’t give us a receipt and by the time we got home with the food we didn’t have time to get back there before they close. Seems like everything we did get was leftover from the day and they scraped the bottoms to gather it! Even our 1 year old wouldn’t eat the food. Terrible experience, we wasted our $20 and didn’t even get to eat.

This was the greatest fast food experience I’ve ever had. It made me wanna give my firstborn to Mr bell. It made me wanna give Mexico a second chance and consider lighter border security.

I am AbsolutelyDisgusted by the interaction.I just had at this Taco Bell as soon as I walked in the general manager there made fun of me and the way I was dressed and was telling one of the workers.I was a sexy guy for them. when I went up to the counter to complain and say don't you dare speak to me like that. She was a coward and wouldn't face me.They are also refusing to give me the franchise owner's information because this absolutely needs to be addressed

Almost every time I go to this place, I end up waiting 15-20 mins to get food...Not bad if u don't mind the wait..Jusr the slowest fast food I've ever experienced.

When I walked inside I had to wait for the staff to finish smoking to place an order inside. When she came inside she really didn't care about the service. I made a comment so Sammie told me to go do it. So this is my response a bad review.
