If you are looking for the best creemee place in Vermont? Shiretown Marketplace is a must!…read moreWindow to order, picnic tables on site and across the street in the park. Gift card creemees available. All ingredients are locally sourced and each batch changes on a regular basis to feature new flavors. The owners Dani and Kevin make all flavors of their creemees from scratch! Blueberry, Strawberry, Blood Orange, Apple Pie, Maple(seems to be available all the time), of course Chocolate and Vanilla...are there all the time. Portions are generous and you may request your creemee with toppings or twist of two flavors style, and on a cone or in a cup. Truly outstanding as is their breakfast and lunches offered. There is a gift shop inside and you can dine in or take-out!

A true marketplace experience, if you will. We stopped in right when they opened at 8am on a Wednesday in August. My son had the breakfast burrito and I had the huevos rancheros. Both very good and very filling. The woman who took our order was very friendly. Everything was bright and clean and very inviting. We left a little after 9 and the place was starting to fill up by then. This was a great spot to fill up before continuing on our roadtrip, and glad we found it! We would love to come back the next time we are in town!

Passing through VT and spent a night in Middlebury, asked the desk what's open for food on a Sunday…read morenight at 8pm as the town looked pretty buttoned up. Two Brothers was the choice from the desk so we went with it and so glad we did. Place looked pretty busy, bar was full, we were seated pretty much right away. The menu is smaller (perfect amount of items , hate too many choices) but done well. We love doing shareable so we can try a bunch of different things. The mussels were the absolute show stopper here, different than most. Tequila, spicy, little bits of sausage, (i would have drank the broth or made this a soup it was so good) The Poutine was different than I was used to, it was our least favorite but still ok. This is just a personal preference but I'm used to being smothered in gravy, it was almost non existent. It's like the ere was a ladle on the bottom and fries on top so didn't get a lot of it. The street corn dip was really good, much different than others I've had as well but in a really good way. It was hearty with lots of corn, had some nice spice to it. We also had (not pictured) French onion soup, loved it, nice peppery, piping hot. The cheddar ale soup, best I've had, literally you can taste all the components of this, rich, thick, creamy, sharp cheddar with a hint of the ale in the background. For dessert we took the donut holes to go, the colors dip was amazing, the chocolate looked like it was seized up a bit, we also ate this a little later so it could have been us and not from then. This looks like a super fun place to belly up at the bar, it has the hometown feel , we are already planning a stop on our drive back later this week!

We stopped by today for a usual great dinner. We were underwhelmed by the English Dale cut my wife…read moregot. You could see thru it and it was not a solid piece of meat. Super thinly sliced and a big let down. My Middlebury cut was great. For the price of the English cut I should have sent it back. They no longer have the great salad bar, soup station,cheese board or bread station. And Sunday brunch is gone also. The decor and service was great as before. We are not likely going to have it as a destination anymore. Very disappointing indeed. We have been customers for over 15 years and made the long trip because it was so good. Sorry for the poor review but we dine many places and we get much more from other establishments.

Dinner at Fire & Ice was a highlight of our month-long sojourn in New England. Housed in an old…read morefarmhouse just outside of Middlebury, Fire & Ice features locally sourced fresh and natural ingredients in an ambitious menu that will satisfy most palates. The restaurant has been around for more than half a century and has an eclectic decor with walls covered in black and white photos, hundred year old Hackercraft motorboat, biplane propellers, and wooden skis that likely were used to carve up Stowe and Killington. We started with a watermelon margarita and an extra dry Hendricks Gibson up. The drinks were perfectly chilled and hit the spot after a long day touring Fort Ticonderoga. We were told that their prime rib was the belle of the Fire & Ice ball so we made that our dinner. Roasted slowly overnight, the meat is perfectly medium rare inside with a delectable crust. Served with a range of sides and a generous dollop of freshly grated horseradish, we could not have been more pleased with the quality and quantity of the prime rib. They have an interesting dessert cart but, after 40 ounces of delicious prime rib, we gave the sweet course a miss. Fire & Ice is a compelling option for those spending time in Middlebury. We highly recommend this venue.

My entree was the pulluled pork tacos which was excellent! Plenty of food, I even brought one home! I definitely recommend Mister Ups when in the Middlebury VT area!

Unless you are going specifically to sit at the bar, I would not recommend going here for dinner…read more We made reservations for 10 people to celebrate a special birthday. Despite having a reservation, we waited 90 minutes for our meals. When the food finally arrived, it came out in waves about 10 minutes apart. By the time one end of the table received their meals, the other end had already finished eating. Our appetizer was delivered at the same time as our entrées and had clearly been sitting under a heat lamp. It was dried out and tasted of old oil. Our waitress appeared overwhelmed and received no visible support from management. We were not offered drink refills, and we were never asked if everything was satisfactory. The child in our group was served a burnt grilled cheese sandwich that required scraping off the charred portions just to make it edible. It was also made with rye bread and unmelted shredded cheese -- neither of which were indicated on the children's menu. After 2.5 hours, when we requested the check, we were told they could not separate it -- despite having informed the waitress at the beginning of the evening whose tabs were grouped together. We have hosted family events there before and have never encountered this policy. It was not posted or communicated to us in advance. As someone who has worked in customer service and management for over 30 years, I understand how challenging the industry can be. However, communication, organization, and support from management are essential if you expect guests to return. Unfortunately, this experience did not reflect that standard. We will be choosing to celebrate our family gatherings elsewhere in the future.

If you are craving a satisfying breakfast in Middlebury you needn't look further than Middlebury…read moreBagel and Deli. Housed in an old home in the downtown area, this family-owned deli is a community anchor in this quaint Vermont town. We had breakfast here twice and noted the steady stream of regulars who came for carryout boxes of donuts and bags of freshly made bagels. The star here are their bagels which come in a variety of both sweet and savory flavors. We recommend the bagel and lox with a smear as well as the omelets and bagel choices. We also couldn't resist their buttermilk pancakes which are served with a generous dollop of locally sourced butter and, of course, Vermont maple syrup (why anyone uses fake mapole syrup is beyond me...) Nicely crafted baked goods and fry entrees make this a must-try stop when cruising through New England.
