Quick summary: Amazing burgers - and this claim from someone who is not a huge burger fan…read more I ate here for the first time last week - while on vacation. My wife is a big burger fan (FYI: she raved about her burger, too), so I decided to try the place out, since we were in the area. Bit hard to locate, but parking was fine. Since the weather was good, we ate outside. There is both open air & tent-covered seating options. Speaking of seating - you must memorize your table # BEFORE going inside to order as meals are delivered to your table. I ordered the "Big Daddy M": 6oz beef, medium-cooked, with Bayley Hazen blue cheese, caramelized onions, bacon bits, garlic aioli, bibb lettuce and red onions. What a heavenly, savory combination. Each bite was full of flavor. And the French Fries? Well, super tasty as well - I ate every potato fried crumb. At other places, fries are usually bland, but not here. The order service inside was pleasant and quick; be sure to note the chalk board with a list of food options (e.g. my Wife ordered a custom burger, just the way she wanted). After ordering we went back outside to our #'d table - wait for the food was relatively quick. When done eating, just leave your baskets, etc. on the table (there is a sign stating this practice). Note: while I did not have kids here, there were plenty of families with young kids & toddlers. I definitely want to try this place a 2nd time.

I ended up getting the side salad which was also really delicious - baby lettuce with cucumbers, pumpkin seeds, cranberries with a vinaigrette dressing.

So happy to revisit the revived Clear River Tavern. This place has the feel of a Cheers type bar…read morewhere everyone knows your name except 60% are likely leaf peepers or ski bums who happened to stumble in. It's located against the stunning backdrop of Vermont's gorgeous Green Mountains, so we were happy to sit outside as the sun was just starting to set. It's nice to see that they have an outdoor mini stage for local acts, a cornhole game set up and an 18 course disc golf course. How fun to play and then dine afterwards or during! And everyone I know is happy to see that the pool tables are back in the bar area inside the restaurant. I had a glass of Kendall Jackson Chardonnay for only $8-and it was a nice sized pour. My husband had a seasonal ale. We had the fried pickles to start and we were happy to see that they were in coins, not spears. Coins are so much better for dipping. The coating was nice and light-not heavy at all. I had a taco salad and added grilled chicken while my husband had a classic French Dip. Both were very good! We also had a delicious pumpkin creme brûlée for dessert that was delicious. Our server was very attentive and pleasant. Good quality standard food without pretentiousness! We will definitely be back!

So already we are in a good spot. I got a flight. I was blown away by nearly every beer I tried was a real winner..like I would drink each one as a pint. Amazing flavor, truly. If I was forced to pick the winner it was Vermont Hazy. Wow, that good. We ordered a soft pretzel with their sauce, and their buffalo spinach dip which was incredible (Served with nacho chips). We loved the vibe, the beer for sure...so good I had to memorialize it with a t shirt. Score!

Update: went back for another trip a year later. Worthy burger was just as delicious and the fries…read morewere on point. One of my favorite finds in my time around VT and NH! The hostess was incredibly personable and sweet. I'd had a crap day and really just wanted a beer. It was 5 minutes to close. I figured it wasn't going to happen, but I figured I'd look at their draft menu for the next day and get an idea of what I'd want to eat when I come back. Not only did they take great care of me and get me a MUCH needed beer, but when I came back to eat the next day it got even better! I couldn't decide which beer I wanted. The girl was SO nice and gave me half of each. Good call, because I definitely liked one more than the other! Now HERE is the BEST PART: the worthy burger. Sweet Jesus. I heard angels. Seriously one of the best burgers I've ever had. Ever. The bun was perfect and THOSE PICKLES! The cheese was perfectly melted. Just the right amount of secret sauce. Did I mention the pickles were amazing? I also ordered truffle fries with Parmesan and a kid size order of the Mac and cheese. Because real cheese. They weren't bad. The truffle fries were on the milder side, but tasty. Maybe a little soft. Pro tip: get the pesto aoli to dip! I like homemade Mac and cheese and I hardly ate more than a few bites. I had heard great things but eh. Maybe I was just in love with the burger! I didn't get a picture. My phone died and I couldn't wait do yourself a favor- get the worth burger with some extra pickles on the side!

Lots of folks were having an evening tipple or dinner and chatting up other customers. Welcoming and convivial! Ten years ago, I would complain about how "nowhere" in Vermont did anyone know how to properly fry chicken. I'm from the South, and while I love the freshness and farm to table options all over the Green Mountain State, the lack of juicy, flavorful, fried chicken in any form was my foodie hardship. Well, I can't complain anymore! Xroads knows what it's about.* The fries and sandwiches are solidly on point too. Come for food, drinks, and friends. Missed ya, Scott! *Before you come at me, Worthy Burger wasn't around in SoRo when I lived there.

Was heading into town looking for some lunch and spotted this little food stand from the road…read moreabove, decided to swing in and check it out. Tacos! Burritos! Carnitas! Adobo! Barbacoa! Whaaaa... yasss Queen! As lovely as Vermont's cheddar and ham deli sammiches are, nothing hits the spot for this former Southwestern girl like a white corn masa street taco shell and kick your tastebuds cayanee and cumin! Flavors are all on point and maybe a bit too spicy for some boring New Englanders- but if you've traveled widely and can handle some heat- you'll find tasty spicing hits the spot. Check the website for hours or ordering in advance. With only one person ahead of me who placed an order on site, my tacos and empanadas were ready in 6minutes. The picnic tables were half built, so I debated on taking a seat on the bird poop covered granite stones in front of the parking lot, but decided to just chow down in my car instead and now the aroma of Barbacoa meat and fried empanada shells will comfort me for at least another hour of driving. Nice to see they use compostable containers where possible!

River Roost is just a brewing facility with a tasting room, so there is no food provided or for sale. However, the place is across the parking lot from Big Fatty's Barbecue for some amazing, out of this world barbecue, Mac & Cheese, and the like. And you can bring it here to munch out while savoring the many beers on draft. And since it's not a restaurants, Fido is welcome. The owner was the attendant on that day and he was quite affable and also knew his beers like the back of his hand. I tried a "Mas Verde" IPA and it was absolutely delicious. Overall a superb time with wonderful people and great beer and superb food from across the street.... The only warning about the area is the parking situation. As the area (which used to be a blighted warehouse and industrial area) has become gentrified and dotted with apartments, the nearby Northern Stage Theatre, and numerous restaurants, parking has become an issue and customers should either arrive early or realize they may have to park several blocks away. But that only shows just how popular this area has become and part of it is River Roost's doing. Great place!!!!!
