    Tonkatsu Ramen
    Stephanie S.

    I've been wanting to eat here since I saw their spectacular Instagram Photos and Food Network Challenge that Stefano did. I also love the fact they are farm-to-table. Yesterday was the perfect opportunity to go, as I often times am in Barre when they are closed. I had the soup of the day, a Tonkatsu Pork Ramen described as a "rich pork broth, porchetta, wild mushrooms, fresh ramen." He'd asked me if I wanted a soy egg, which I should have asked what that was; I assume it was a fake egg versus an egg infused with soy sauce (next time, I will inquire), so I politely declined. It was a copious bowl of rich flavor: the porchetta was outstanding. The broth itself lacked a little flavor, initially, as I think I needed to mix the seasonings more. Once I did, YUM! My friend got the The Granite City, which is house maple-bourbon turkey, cheddar, cranberry mayo, LTO on cranberry pecan whole wheat. He asked if he could have it toasted (it was so chilly outside and we'd skied all morning) and Stefano said they don't normally do so, but sure, why not. My friend said it was delicious. Stefano later told us that he hadn't thought about toasting it before, as no one had ever asked, but he bet it was good. He was also really nice; he sells the Maple Sap Soda that I cannot find elsewhere and he was willing to sell us a six-pack. I considered it and then kind of forgot. I was tired from the cold and skiing. The food is great and the cafe is toasty and warm. I highly recommend.

    Random pick-nice lil deli with brews-sis loved her Seasonal Schwarma (plant-based sandwich) - and I enjoyed my (turkey) Granite City sandwich. Friendly chef delivered to our table instead of calling our names. Come on in!

    Decidedly great food. Went late on a Monday lunch time slot and was lucky enough to get the last special. Brisket 3 ways So unbelievably good. Great presentation. Wicked juicy and I really loved it. Tons of selection for drinks and chips. See pics. Lived the crunchy feel of the place. Fun and easy try this place. You can't go wrong.

    They have great food and they sell a variety of local products!

    This place has great food for breakfast and lunch. I usually end up spending more than I planned - but coming home with a new hot sauce or spice. They sell so many local products to hard not to! They have everything from CBD chocolate to their own maple syrup brand. They have so many unique beverages and (no exaggeration) the best breakfast sandwich in town. Highly recommend! Get the Ruben

    I made short work of this one!

    Wandering the new streets of Barre I stumbled upon this gem. Owner couldn't help me decide between the lamb gyro or roast beef because they were both so good. I went with the roast beef and was blown away. The sandwich couldn't be more simple or more perfect. No need to over do it when the beef tastes this good. Great tap list with some super hard to find Vermont beers like river roost and good measure just be careful with that second lunchtime beer... can make the rest of the work day tough. Great to see a cool owner operated establishment doin well I'm down town barre.

    I stopped here a couple times on my way back home to Maine or to Mass for a late lunch and I'm never disappointed. I've tried a couple different sandwiches and wraps, as well as a custom wrap. There's always a ton of meat and fresh veggies loaded on, which is why I go a little out my way instead of stopping for crappy highway food. I've found that compared to prices in Burlington is actually less expensive and everyone is always super nice and accommodating. We also jumped at the chance to go to the special 5 course Valentine's Day dinner and meet new tell you, it was superb. Those guys know what they're doing. I can't even begin to describe how delicious everything was, and all in season and fresh. I was tempted to lick the plates clean after each course.

    Awesome sandwiches but they lack good customer service. They tend to be a bit rude but other than that the food is great!

    Stop. Remove all of your preconcieved and stereotypical beliefs about grilled cheese. Good. Now do…read moreeat at this place. It is sooooo good. We started with the soup flight. The tomato soup is excellent. The cheddar ale soup is unforgettable. I would gladly drive hours to have that ale soup again. I can't remember the soup of the day, but I'm sure it was good. The only complaint is the size of the three samples. Too small. I needed more of the ale soup. My daughter had the apple, fig, and brie sandwich (minus the arugula). I had a burger. The food was very very good. We opted for maple syrup (hey, it's VT) and it was the perfect foil to the more savory foods we were eating. Lots of booze options as well. You might inhale when you see the prices for "grilled cheese" but trust me, these are not your run of the mill toasty cheesy sandwiches. Our server, Amy, was fantastic. We loved talking with her and she made sure we had everything we need and had a great experience at the restaurant. Two thumbs way up.

    I would like to respond to the recent poor rating from someone who chose to air their…read moredissatisfaction while hiding behind an avatar, as opposed to speaking directly to management at this wonderful lunch and dinner venue. Diane, John, and their crew of dedicated employees, opened this restaurant in the summer of 2020, in the middle of an international pandemic, and still managed to rise to the top as a fantastic, family-oriented, slow food restaurant in a small town with several well established restaurants as its base. Their idea was grounded in the "simple" grilled cheese sandwich, reimagined in some delightfully tasty presentations. The menu is modest and, other than seasonal specials, is steadfast in its design! I have eaten there more times than I can count and have YET to experience any deviation from the quality they presented at the outset! How many restaurants can attest to that, alone? The atmosphere is homey (it is a former home in a lovely neighborhood), the service is top-notch and the food is delicious. The management attends to every table at least once during your stay (so there was ample opportunity for this customer to express any concerns to the person in the best position to correct any issues), and the staff consists of community members who are our friends, neighbors, or children thereof. So special is this space, the youth servers appear every spring in their prom-best to have their pictures taken with Diane and John! How special is that???!!!! This is a team that places community at the center of their work: even facilitating massive community fundraising efforts post-flood, 2024 and 2025! If you live in this area, you already know what a gem this place is. If you are visiting, put a night out (or lunch) on your "must do" list while exploring Barre's rich granite industry history. If you haven't made Barre a stop on your journey, run, don't walk and see what the buzz is all about! See you at The Meltdown!
