    Burnt Hills Cafe is a neighborhood landmark in our beautiful tiny hamlet. I have been here many times. The food is very good for a diner and I have never been disappointed. My favorite items are the french toast and the various omelette selections. The servers have always been kind and efficient. This place really makes you feel cozy like you're part of the community. I love that!

    Fantastic middle of nowhere all-day breakfast Diner. The way it always was and should be! The staff are the greatest. The food took like 3 mins. to get to my table. Coffee refills delicious and really fragrant. Texas burger's really, really good and so were the sides. Burnt Hills Cafe has the total 'old school flair' going for it. The mix of folks was young and old. A few groups were just some friends kicking it. It was really delicious. The food is a top-tier 5 star. Burnt Hills Cafe specializes in breakfast dishes - but my lunch here was just as tasty and hot! The bar area is short and jammed so be ready to sit at tables, like back in the day. Review: 5+

    So here's the story ... it's winter break ... me and the kids and their friends went ice skating ... mom met us at the end and we decided to take everyone to lunch. And my oldest picked this joint. Full disclosure I've been here before but I let him think it was a new place. He was excited and I didn't lie I just didn't call attention to it. Service was really good. Quick attentive and courteous with that old school diner vibe. You know a bit pushy kind of in a rush calls everybody sweety or hun or darling. Total NY vibes. The food was good. Huge menu. Tons of specials. Really good soup I had manhattan clam chowder. Portions were big. They gave everyone fries and we didn't order them so that's what's up. Only negative was my boy who picked is a vegetarian and other than breakfast there wasn't much for him. He was bummed but he made it through. Price was good too there was 7 of us and we all ate and drank and tipped over 20% and we got outta there at $115 all in. Plus it was super quick. Like 5 minutes to order and another 10 and all of the food was on the table. Pretty crazy because the place was full too. We'll go back just won't bring the vegetarian lol.

    It was a last resort for breakfast... so disappointing, this could definitely use some remodeling... The menu is you standard typical American diner items eggs toast home fries waffles and pancakes. We had veggie omelette, Greek omelette.. honestly both were the same...Waffles and pancakes .. everything was so below average. Given a choice to skip breakfast or eat here... I'd skip. And that mostly had to do with the cleanliness of place. Sorry was not for me!

    If you like a simple hometown diner, then you'll like this place. Friendly staff, and the portions were generous. Had a great lunch here.

    I've had my eye on this diner for years because it's always packed, which is usually a good sign…read more The classic train-car setup and nostalgic décor make it feel like stepping back in time. We lucked out when we arrived and snagged the last open booth. Service was quick, with our drinks and food arriving fast, and I loved seeing a selection of hot sauces right on the table. Not pictured is the cinnamon roll we split because it was too good to wait for a photo. The Texas burrito and chili got rave reviews from my dining partner, and my omelette was solid, though interestingly assembled. The fillings were layered rather than chopped and mixed throughout. Once I cut it all together, the flavor came through nicely, and the home fries were great. We'll definitely be back, and I'm already eyeing a few other dishes to try next time.

    So I'm not a Vermonter and definitely not a Benningtonian...actually my first trip to Vermont…read morevisiting friends. Was kinda shocked to see a diner and even more shocked when I drove up and was transported back in time. Like this is a real old time diner with the counter and stools and juke boxes at the tables! What a pleasant surprise. The best part of course was the service AND the food. The food was excellent and the portion sizes were hefty hefty hefty. I did the bagel melt with bacon instead of ham and they did it up right!! I ate every morsel including the mildly seasoned well cooked home fries. The bagel had the right toasted crunch to it, the sandwich was not oily and thus my clothes were spared. The egg was perfectly fried and the bacon lover in me was in heaven because it was not salty and my extra bacon was the right portion. My friend's plate was also done well and he ate every bit. I took off one star for the following: The booths are not for us larger people and so it was quite a squeeze (in and out) and I should have sat on a counter stool but that did not look any more comfortable for the tush. Also, the entrance was not ramped and thus not handicapped accessible. Otherwise, I would have given the place a 5 and if ever in Vermont again, will definitely stop by...I may even go by again before I leave the state. Great meal and experience.

    What a great country store. It's been in the area for many, many years, but this is the first time…read morethat I've ever visited. Tons of gift items and tchotchkes everywhere plus some really yummy looking baked goods. It took every ounce of my willpower to not indulge in the cider donuts or double chocolate cookies or pumpkin pie or apple fritters...etc. Attached to the adorable country store is an equally adorable café called Lunch Thyme. They only serve lunch as per the name. Locals remember when they had a big breakfast offering back in the day. New owners are running a lovely, clean, fresh and simple menu as of April, 2022. I had a turkey sandwich with a side salad and homemade balsamic vinaigrette. Iced tea was just right and the portions were "normal". Nothing too overstaffed and I really liked the condiments. I tasted the quiche, macaroni, salad and cheddar broccoli soup. Everything is clearly homemade and quite delicious. Friendly service, nice people, good food, chill vibe.

    Once it was said to me: The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth…read more And then it was said to us: But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off. Indeed, upon entering a new restaurant, we ask ourselves: Is it managed by The Wicked? Will they gnash upon us with their teeth? We choose to still take the risk. Will we will be gnashed to tiny pieces, or will we feast upon the fine goods of the earth? So, of course, this was the concern to be had top of mind upon entering Fo'Castle Farm and proceeding into the depths of Lunch Thyme. Indeed! Lunch Thyme is somewhat within the bowels, or--we might say--the entrails of Fo'Castle Farm, which is not to say that it is walled in and airless like a prison cell. The guest finds an open and welcoming space, a thick leather couch, many screened windows, and the vast smile plastered upon the face of the owner(s). Lunch Thyme welcomes its visitors into its warm and breezy arms. It offers a small but finely chosen selection of items. Quiche lovers, sandwich lovers, salad lovers, and soup lovers alike will find solace in the menu at Lunch Thyme. One can sample a roast beef sandwich on a tender ciabatta roll, a salad with roasted beets, or several juicy and meaty balls on a bread as if it were taken from Italy itself. And the prices. The prices, it may be said, are reasonable for the area: not a bargain per se, but nor does Lunch Thyme greedily tear away visitors' wallets to gorge itself upon their contents. In short, it is reasonable. That is it. That is it indeed. In a word, Lunch Thyme is reasonable.
