    Pumpkin pancakes with cream cheese
    Phoebe H.

    Got seated immediately on a Sunday morning around 10am during ski season. The restaurant was quite busy and it look awhile for our server to take orders and even more time for our food to come out. Once we received it, the meal was delicious! If you're a coffee person they really only serve pot coffee, just fyi Main critique is the longer than normal wait times to get orders in and receive food.

    Popover special

    I'm sad ! We were soooooo beyond excited to return to this place after visiting last year. I was actually staying at the hotel directly behind it ! I ordered the same thing as last year and I had been counting down the days to trying it again. Unfortunately it didn't come close to being as good. I will say that part of the service was great. It seems like they were understaffed again. The kitchen was definitely backed up and the food was sub par. The flavors were there but the preparation was just off. Bummer !! Sorry guys !

    Sausage gravy over a biscuit with 2 eggs and hash browns.

    Overall good eats, large portions, and fair prices. They have indoor and outdoor dining. Our boys split the pancakes with strawberries (comes with two) and I ordered a side of bacon. They polished it off, a 6 and 8 year old. So not too much food. We tried two of the daily specials: the popover and sausage gravy dishes. Both were a lot of food that we could not finish. Husband liked his popover breakfast. The habanero maple jam it cam with sounded good. The popover looked a little over-baked, but I did not try it. My sausage gravy was just ok, and the fam agreed that I make it better in my own kitchen. The biscuit looked over-baked and was very salty. I knew since I am not down south, the sausage gravy may miss the mark, but I figured why not try it and be pleasantly surprised. This is a popular and busy little joint.

    Belgian waffle w/ strawberries and whipped cream (substituted whipped cream for marscapone)

    If you're here for a snowboarding trip with your friends and you wanna eat breakfast before you shred some snow, GET YA BREAKFAST FROM HERE! WHY?! 1. Affordable (NOT OVERPRICED) 2. Great service 3. Gooooooood food 4. Ima say it again ITS AFFORDABLE All the restaurants I've been to here in Killington have been overpriced IMO. Not this place! My friends and I are planning to go back to eat there tomorrow morning again! Big daddy omelette (4/5) the steak was a little bit chewy but you know it's steak. The omelette had flavor and it was HUGE!! It was a big ole portion. Can't complain about that. Belgian Waffles w/ strawberries and whipped cream (4/5) okay this wasn't the best Belgian waffle that I ever had but it wasn't badddd. The strawberries were really really fresh! We actually ordered ours with marscapone instead of whipped cream! Corned beef hash (5/5) really good! Lots of flavor! Good source of carbs and protein! Really good meal before going out to snowboard/ski. Service (5/5) our waitress was PHENOMENAL. She got everything that we asked for while serving multiple tables! She was quick. Super nice. I truly loved her. Hot chocolate (4/5) it wasn't super chocolatey like Godiva hot chocolate but it was pretty decent! If you're craving it, get it!

    I love this place! I have been here multiple times and have always have had a great customer experience. I recommend trying the Mascarpone strawberry French toast, it is my favorite! Cute little place, and in a great location in the Killington area. Prices are good too. 10/10 recommend!

    This was the PERFECT breakfast after a long weekend on the slopes. Hit up this spot early in the morning with about a 5 minute wait. The food was delicious and came out super quick. 10/10 recommend and hope to visit again soon!

    LOVED the Banana Bread French Toast. I got five large pieces of banana bread dipped in egg and covered in cream cheese. It honestly didn't even need the cream cheese, the bread was so good on its own. It was also great the next day cold. The Chocolate Chip Pancakes also came with a generous serving and equally as delicious. The Johnny was their form of Eggs Benedict. The ham was bigger than the English muffin that it was on. They also serve Mimosas, Bloody Marys and Irish Coffee for those looking to boozy brunch.

    Came here for dinner on one of our nights in town. The "lookout" part was all taken, tables all…read morefilled, and can't blame them. It's a nice view and with nice weather in the Summer nights. We got two spots at the bar, that was also almost full. The burgers seemed very popular but after asking our bartender, she said the ribs were really good, off the bone" so we ordered that. Since we don't like too much sauce on them they put the sauce on the side and it was perfect. The ribs were exactly as she described them, tender, perfectly cooked. Fries that come with them were great too, and as side we got the suggested Brussels sprouts, and must recommend them too. They were delicious! The coleslaw wasn't our favorite but everything else was great. Casual atmosphere, with food options for all.

    Stopped here with my family. OK, but not as good as other options in the area…read more Mostly burgers and sandwiches. I got their large chicken sandwich. If was good, well good but kind of bland. The fries were good, but my wife's onion rings were a little overcooked...as were all the onion rings orders.we saw go by us so that appears to just be how they do them. We started with and order of the buffalo wings and their brussel sprouts appetizer. The brussel sprouts were very good and the highlight of the meal. The chicken wings were cooked very well, tender and juicy, but the buffalo sauce was just and average sauce. Good, but nothing to make note of. Would we eat there again? Sure.
