The towns in Southeast Vermont have a lot (and I mean a LOT) of character. The variety of stylish…read morerestaurants with a culinary spin that dot the downtown districts add to the Vermont quintessential feel. And Wunderbar definitely is part of that local charm. On the Thursday night before Labor Day weekend, we made a reservation at Wunderbar in Bellows Falls. Upon arriving, we were seated quickly. Service was overall fantastic and we were super impressed with the cocktails and food, leaving happily satisfied and stuffed at the end. I can't think of anything we ordered that we didn't like, though, of course, there were some favorites: Alpine Negroni and Smoking Gun cocktail were delicious. We LOVED the Ahi Tuna Tostadas, Wunder Wings, and Roasted Carrots - and hands-down our favorite of the night was the Miso Mussels. We weren't sure we ordered enough between the 3 of us, but portions were overall done well and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience from start to finish. I truly can't wait to come back to Wunderbar the next time I'm visiting the area. (side note: the current full menu is difficult to find online - the "online ordering" menu from their website is limited)

It feels like the kind of spot you stumble into once and immediately decide you're coming back. I had the Marsala Fried Chicken and WOW. Crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor--hands down one of the best fried chicken dishes I've had anywhere. The Marsala twist makes it unique and completely unforgettable. I also tried the Spicy Bazaar cocktail. and it was phenomenal. Balanced heat, bold flavor, and the kind of dish that makes you stop mid-conversation just to appreciate how good it is. The service was warm and genuine, the drinks were creative, and the whole experience felt like a special night out without being pretentious. Wunderbar absolutely lives up to its name. If you're anywhere near Bellows Falls, do yourself a favor and go. This place is a vibe.

My husband had the burger and I had a fish sandwich. Both were cooked to perfection. Also, the fries had a great seasoning. So good, ketchup wasn't needed. Also, while dining, the song Way Down South on the Chattahoochee" was playing. Unbeknownst to them, they were playing our song. We are from Georgia and practically grew up on the Chattahoochee River. We highly recommend the Hungry Diner!

What you'd hope for in an updated rustic old Vermont building. 2. The service has been excellent on both visits, with the caveat that breakfast is busy and the food took a long time to arrive. 3. Breakfast was solid. Not transcendent but solid eggs and toast and home fries and coffee and everybody seemed happy. Room for improvement 1. For Putney Vermont - get some decent vegan and vegetarian options. 2. The veggie burger was bean based, mushie old-school 70's style. Fell apart as soon as you picked it up. 3. The cheeseburger was good. It's just that for $18 you could show a little more attention to detail. A greenish slice of winter tomato. A single leaf of iceberg lettuce. 2 ringlets off an onion slice. And no pickle. 4. The fries that came with it had to be sent back to be cooked longer. And there was a big puddle of oil on the plate once I slid the par-cooked fries onto a side dish. The server was lovely about it and they came back fast and cooked through. But my guess is the oil wasn't hot enough hence the grease puddle. 5. The chicken orzo soup was meh. I don't try it. Brought it home for sick family member. And sorry but my personal pet peeve - the pre-calculated tip options were 20,22,25% and all calculated on top of the sales tax. Understand that it has gotten VERY expensive to go out for a burger for your average local. So putting a little more attention into it would be greatly appreciated. All the best, and thank you.

Waffle was also cooked well. Our server was a hard worker. She was helping a bunch guests all sitting at the counter. To my surprise, they accepted all kinds of credit cards, not just cash.
