Great Breakfast Burrito. I got it on the way to skiing and was full all day. They are made fresh to order - about 5 minutes wait time. I can't wait to go back. I would love to try Chef Brads other creations!!! read more

Chef Brad's Crazy Side - Breakfast burrito - Seafood Near Me - Quechee, Vermont

We came to Chef Brad's because of the good reviews. It is proven to deserve the good rating! The decor is unique and it is the kind you don't really see often as a restaurant. Although it is not the type to my liking, It does somehow shows the crazy side of this place.... :) When we came, the cafe is closed. Only the food truck was open. You can eat outdoors, in picnic area, or in a colorful school bus!!! You place your order with the staff and wait for them to call your name in the speaker. There was a long line when we came. The wait time was not too bad. While waiting for our food, we walked around and saw a humming bird at the bird feeder in the vegetable garden. Pretty awesome. Our favorite is Asian BBQ pulled pork sandwich. The side dish sesame noodle tasted amazingly authentic. The Hamburg is also perfect. We would strongly recommend this place. read more

This is a fun side of the road food truck kinda place. Looking for lunch, we discovered this through Yelp. They only had outside seating, so think it's not year round. The outdoor seating was pretty basic picnic type tables which were OK. They only accept cash or Venmo, so come prepared. We both ordered hamburgers and fries. They came out quickly, even though there were a good number of people there. Fun and quirky - check it out (in warm weather)! read more

Not many gluten free options. If you're not into seafood you'll be quite limited. But the atmosphere rocks.

Just go! What a little gem. We stopped on our way back from stowe to CT for lunch. Tacos were phenom. Reasonably priced - around 5 to 6 per taco. 2 is a meal. Decoration was funky and cool. Hubby and I loved it and are happy we stopped in! ! We went in dec , so ate in the cafe , the bus and side area were closed. Loved the asian pulled pork taco better than the pork avacado one. They even have falafel ones ! Sigh , wish I cud have one closer to home. Cash and checks only tho !!! read more

A gem of a place! Casual delicious and fun! Locals and tourists alike love Chef Brads! A real favorite.

What a cool spot! We stopped in for breakfast burritos before hitting the road. We were greeted promptly at the window & received our burritos freshly made to order within minutes! Takeout only at this time so we enjoyed them in the car. Just delicious with really good sausage (not the frozen link kind!!). Would definitely recommend. read more

Chef Brad is the most talented chef anywhere in the area. He also has a great friendly manner about him. It is just him so his menu is limited but with enough variety to satisfy everyone. The ambiance is beyond "Crazy" which only adds to the experience. May he continue to prosper!!!! read more

Great food. Crab Cake sandwich was very good. The buns they use are excellent. Wife had pulled pork sandwich which was great. Ordered onion rings which were nice but bit pricey. Otherwise rest of the food prices were very reasonable. Bees kept bothering us but we enjoyed the lunch at a very reasonable price. read more

Wish I could get there more often. Their fish tacos were memorable and the outdoor atmosphere was fun. The school bus dining courld be an interesting experience read more

We were out in the woods of New Hampshire east of Hanover for the Labor Day holiday and wanted something casual but good for lunch. These guys turned up on Google - with a big bus and a big smile. We were heading to look at the glass stuff at Simon Pearce near there as well - so off we went. It was a glorious day with the sun out and we had a burger, fries etc. We sat just outside the bus on the benches round back. It was quiet but they have speakers through which we could hear the announcements for our order (nice one!) They have a few plants around as well. They had a pot with a mint plant on our table and it was SUPER strong smelling. We loved it. There was tomato as well - everything just smelled lovely. Happy Times! read more

My husband and I stopped here during our trip to Quechee Gorge. It's such a fun place to stop and eat some great bbq! The lady in the food truck was very friendly and helpful. We ordered the Asian bbq pulled pork sandwich and the salad with grilled chicken. The pork sandwich was really juicy and delicious however, I expected there to be a more Asian flavored sauce on it... either it wasn't on there or it was just a very light sauce. The coconut curry slaw is incredible! Such a genius concoction. The salad with grilled chicken was good, and they offer a nice variety of salad/sauce options. The fries were so crispy and flavorful. We Definitely want to come back sometime and try the tacos! read more

We just had food from Chef Brad's winter menu. It could be the best "to go food" my wife and I have ever had. We shared the Salmon with smashed potatoes and the Lobster Ravioli . Favors, portions and just perfect herbs. Can't wait to try more dishes.... read more

Ran into some folks here who say it's the best local joint in town! Only open for summer and fall hours, but they say they are doing breakfast and brunch through the winter in Quechee - so be on the lookout for that! Mostly fish items on the menu, some meaty options like a pork taco and a burger. Hardly any veggie options, but I feel like they are so accommodating here and would fix you up whatever you're craving. I had the seared salmon with a bed of field greens, it was delicious. Salmon was tender but crispy on the outside (a little oily but it's ok, I enjoyed it). The people who run this place are extremely personable and kind, and they remember things about you! You can eat in a wildly decorated school bus or outside at picnic tables. Apparently Brad (the chef) is a special one - some say he provides gourmet food! I agree and I would recommend this "joint" to any and all, especially those who are traveling through. read more

Chef Brad's Crazy Side - Jams to dance to in the bus! - Seafood Near Me - Quechee, Vermont

FANTASTIC food truck!! Great outdoor eating and in the winter they are indoors in a sweet little restaurant. I LOVE their food! Tastes fresh (they buy local) and really has great flavor, great portions and a menu that constantly offers new things. I LOVE the falafel burger. I'm a gluten-free vegan and they happily make it into a salad for me. And the fries?!?! OH BABY - I LOVE their fries!! I send people here all the time and they agree, this place is a find! Plus it's right on route 4 and is absurdly easy to get to. The FAB part for me is that they are super environmental in their plates and packaging. WOOHOO! PS - it's pandemic time as I write this and they are doing take-away. Totally GREAT! read more

My dad had heard good things from neighbors so we decided to come for dinner one night. The first odd thing was the hours. There were different hours listed on Yelp, Google, and on their voicemail (I since corrected the Yelp hours). I was really surprised to see that a place open for dinner closes at 8pm. It's a neat spot though. Sitting on top of a hill, there's a surf-themed food truck, outdoor tables, small garden, and a school bus (!!) with more seating. The school bus is obviously a big draw - it's well renovated and had lots of available seating. Pretty cool! After perusing Yelp reviews, I decided to order fish tacos. They were.... meh. The fish was beer battered and honestly pretty flavorless. Usually fish tacos are either grilled or breaded with something crunchy like panko. Then on top of the tacos was raw cabbage and a mystery pink sauce. It wasn't the worst thing I'd ever had, but it I was surprised so many Yelpers gave it rave reviews. Basically, this place is kitschy and sort of a fun novelty visit, but don't come expecting legitimately good food (at least in my experience). I can see it being good for kids. Also, it's BYOB, so that's fun for adults! read more

Just a little travel trailer on the side of the just north of Quechee Gorge, VT Chef Brad's Crazy Side is the perfect lunchtime bite. Between those in our party we had fish and chips, crab cake salad, fish tacos, sweet potato fries and a grilled chicken breast. My fish and chips were easily some of the best I've had. The pieces of fish were perfectly fried in a malty batter and were nice and crispy. The fries lightly salted and crispy as well. Everyone else also enjoyed their meals. Highly recommended a stop if you're in the area. read more

Never a bad meal! Fresh and made with love ... right Brad? Love that we live within walking distance and can't wait for winter take out entrees! read more

*Cash only - thanks Yelpers for letting us know in your reviews! We pulled off the highway on our way home to CT from Quebec for a fast but good bite to eat. I use Yelp to find all of our good spots and this place did not disappoint. It's a stationary food truck with about five tables outside. Sign said they are limited by the state as to how many tables they can legally put out. Half of us got the fish tacos for $5 each. You just get the one taco so supplement with fries which were good. Taco tasted very fresh and light. DH got the Asian pulled pork which for $9 was a great deal as it was a large amount of pork and it came with a small order of fries and a tiny cup of curry coconut slaw which might sound weird but it was super tasty. DS got a beef burrito which was quite large and good. Lemonade may have been homemade. No bathroom but a very clean porta-potty back up the drive around side of another building. After eating we drove two miles down the road and walked around a few minutes checking out the Quechee gorge. Best "fuel up/rest stop" of our trip. Wish we weren't 2.5 hours away but we go by here once in a while and I would definitely recommend and come back. read more

It is ok. Slightly overpriced. Nothing special though besides quirky school bus and ordering station outside. Overall not a bad experience but I won't come back. Slightly too expensive for the size and quality. I gave this place a try based on yelp reviews but this time it was a miss. Burger was undercooked. Fries were great. Fish had a taste of frozen food from the supermarket. Their sauces were acceptable. Not enough seating for a big company or if this place gets busy. 5 small tables outside plus three behind the house. Plus bus. Bus and chalk are nice for kids but it doesn't make food better. Plus they don't accept credit cards. I don't normally carry cash with me. read more

Deliciousness outside. We had the Asian BBQ Pork with Coconut Slaw and Crab with Tartar - but you can have an assortment of "crazy" condiments to go with your meal. Homemade lemonade to finish the meal off. This is a BYOB and Cash only restaurant but we loved the atmosphere and the food. read more

Just terrific. We shared crab cakes, tacos, fries and coleslaw. The crab cakes were spectacular. The tacos were very good and the coleslaw was curried and interesting. The service was friendly and it was a fun afternoon. First time and we'll be back for more. They take VENMO. read more

Before you go there, make sure you have cash! The workers are super friendly and thankful, which made it a wonderful experience. I thought the dessert cooler was an adorable touch. I had a crab cake sandwich, which the lady who was serving recommended. At first I was skeptical since I spent a lot of time at Maryland and had their famous crab cakes, but it definitely lived up to their potential. I had it with tartar sauce, which was OK. I had the onion rings as a side, which kind of had a fishy, oily taste to them. For $4.50, I was expecting more onion rings. My boyfriend had the lamb burger and fries, which he loved and cooked to his liking. read more

This place is awesome! Many choices that sound good -a reason to go back! In our group-we has the pulled pork sandwich, chicken and shrimp tacos, veggie burritos, curry coleslaw, and a side of fries. All were good. Food was fresh, delicious and made with yummy ingredients. We will be back! read more

We live to eat Brad's fantastic food. It's always super fresh and delicious. Highly recommend!!

Honestly, forget about all the beautiful mountains and sites VT has to offer--- Chef Brad's is the reason I will be driving hours on hours to visit VT. My two friends and I stopped her on our way back from Quechee Gorge while on a camping trip. They were incredibly clean and abiding by all sanitation/COVID laws. We had spent the day exploring and were starving for some good food. Everything was moderately priced, but honestly it was so delicious, I would have paid thousands. We ended up sharing lots of plates including: crab cake sandwich (more crab then filling!), fish tacos, potato salad, fish & chips (delicious and perfectly fried), salmon salad, onion rings (all three of us are from various states, have done lots of traveling, and agreed these were the best onion rings we've EVER eaten), and shrimp tacos (also the best I've ever had). The homemade sauces were a dream compliment-- homemade ranch, tartar sauce, spicy mango, and the amazing coconut curry sauce. Thank you Chef Brad! Also, the exterior is pretty amazing-- great colors and a painted school bus turned into a dining room. I'd love to come back and see how popular this place is outside of Covid. You can see all the small gardens where the fresh ingredients they use come from. HIGHLY recommend. read more

So unique and so scrumptious. We loved the Asian pulled pork sandwich, and the pana cotta and cupcakes were divine.

Yum! Lots of good choices. Fish taco was my favorite!! Everything was good, and they were able to accommodate a small kid with a cheese and tomato quesadilla. Will be back! read more

What an unexpected surprise! We stopped at this roadside cafe and experienced one of the best meals ever! I had the blackened chicken sandwich which was as good as I've tasted at high dollar restaurants. My husband had the fish chowder which he declared the best ever. Our child had a cheese quesadilla which he devoured. The quality of food was beyond what you'd expect at this very reasonably priced stop. Friendly, quirky, cute, and amazing food! read more

So bad. The fish and alligator tacos were flavorless and the lobster bisque was fishy and gross. We didn't finish our food. The dessert was the best part and that isn't saying much. We wanted to love the quirky little place but we really couldn't understand how anyone is giving the food good reviews. Never again. read more

Stopped here on our way to Burlington because we had our dog with us and needed someplace with outside seating. The atmosphere was very cute and quirky and the woman who took our order was very nice...however the food was average at best. The fries were exactly like Burger King fries therefor not worth eating. The onion rings needed salt and the burger was WAY too salty. Maybe we just ordered the wrong thing? read more

This is one of the many hidden gems in the Quechee area. Despite the restaurant's limited hours, they do a fantastic job of serving great food, great service all at reasonable prices. Seating is outdoors and food served out of a trailer but the concept is well executed, giving the air of a beachside food shack. The seafood and tropical theme, complete with bright colors and Cuban newspaper tray liners, all work well. The blackened salmon sandwich and spicy mango salsa are amazing! read more
