Staying at Smugglers Notch Resort! On site: Morse Mountain Grille (Breakfast) Party of 6 stopped in for breakfast and had a great experience. I ordered scrambled eggs with a side of bacon, wheat toast, and a mimosa. The kids had hot cocoa and pancakes, which they loved. The atmosphere was relaxed with no wait, not busy at all and the prices were very affordable. A nice, easy breakfast spot for families. read more

Grabbed a pizza here after a long day of skiing with my partner. Pizza price was not inflated and it was a good size.... Honestly it hit the spot after being in the cold for so long. Was pretty quick (maybe 15-20 mins)? Staff was friendly and nice and were able to accommodate a slight shift in our order due to allergies! The facility was pretty informal and warm. Some tables weren't cleared and had messes on them, but we didn't have trouble getting a spot to sit. Overall a pretty seamless experience! read more

Be aware that they are running a scam! We ordered a drink to go. The to-go cup had a drink and ice in it. When we poured it into the plastic cocktail cup they gave us, it turned out to be only half of the drink we paid for. We went back to tell them, but instead the bartenders tried to shame us, saying it was "only $13" and that we shouldn't have come to them about it. They then told us to go speak to the food and beverage director. What??? Of course, we're not going to do that, and we will never come back to this place again. This is incredibly petty and cheap. If they cheat with drinks, what else are they cheating about? Update: today, when my husband went to get cheese curds from this place (unfortunately, other places close by do not have it). The lady barmen verbally attacked my husband yelling all the profanity words you can find in the dictionary in front of all the customers. She told him " how dare you leave the bad review to us?" and cursed him out. WOW, what a restaurant! read more

I was at Smugglers Notch for the weekend skiing with some friends and we were looking for a quick easy lunch in the village. We ended up coming 2 days in a row since it was convenient and we wanted to be in and out so we could get back to skiing!! We had a small wait both days, about 40 minutes, which wasn't terrible and honestly went by pretty quickly and gave us a chance to rest. The menu is super extensive and our service was pretty good the first day, and ok the second. I had a beer and then also tried their spiked hot chocolates which were really delicious!! I tried the cheese curds, Notch-os, Chicago-style dip, and the Shroom and Swiss burger. The cheese curds were FANTASTIC and the syrup it came with was interesting but really worked. The nachos were fine, but don't get the crispy chicken, they're just chicken tenders thrown on top. I couldn't stop RAVING about my Chicago-style dip, it was so warm and the meat was so tender. The burger was just ok, really greasy and not something I wanted to finish before going down the mountain again. I also tried their veggie of the day as my sides which was squash, zucchini, and broccoli and honestly they were seasoned well and gave me a break from the richer pub food I was otherwise eating. Overall, great spot for a quick and easy lunch and you can't beat the view and drinks! read more

We were in Smuggs skiing for the weekend and this was one of the places in the village which made it super convenient for lunch on the days were skiing! Both times we came we had to wait some for a table (about 40 minutes) which wasn't terrible Service was alright! We tried some of their spiked hot chocolates which were honestly super delicious! For apps we tried the cheese curds and the nachos. I wouldn't waste your time with the nachos but the cheese curds were def worth it. For the main I got the chicken sandwich one day and the burger the other and the chicken was my fave by far! The fries needed some salt but overall the food was decent!! When you're hungry and you're skiing this place was good in a pinch! read more

Omelette's at this place were huge & very tasty!!! Breakfast potatoes were alright & with toast, this was a full hearty breakfast!!! Service was alright, but didn't offer refills!! Really friendly & clean restaurant with nice decor!!! Highly recommend this over The Village Pizzeria!!!! read more

Really 3.5 stars but rounding up to 4. The place is pretty large and accommodated our large group. They had a flight of 3 local beers which was cool but the beer was a little warm. French onion soup was great and pretty decent salad. Our server seemed like she was having a rough day. read more

pub burger is the best burger I've ever had. Service wasn't special and the wait was alright but the food is amazing

Food was not that good to be honest. My strawberry lemonade tasted like gasoline. This is a family friendly restaurant but I do recommend choosing your meals very carefully. My bbq pork sandwich was impossible to enjoy it fell apart and I had to use a fork and knife to eat it. read more

This is one of the restaurants at the village base at Smugglers. It's the only place open on Sundays, so it gets pretty busy. Nice selection of beers and booze and a delightful Maple Old Fashioned. Soup was good and the chicken wings were nice. They do have to go options for pick up. read more

Shrimp tacos were good. Service was friendly. Vibe was ok. Kind of expensive though. Still pretty awesome sauce. read more

We were staying at Smugg's and my wife injured her knee skiing, so we decided to stay on the resort for dinner. Most options were closed being Sunday night, so we ended up at Morse Mountain Grille. We were seated right away on a Sunday night at 6:30 as there were only about 10 other people in there. We placed our order of drinks, apps & entrees and sat watching the NFC Championship Game. When the wings arrived we were STARVING. We each took a wing and before we could even put them in our mouths our entrees arrived. The waitress apologized, but said someone must have jumped the gun. It only got worse when we took a bite of the wings and they were cold inside. They looked cooked as you can see from the picture and were warm on the outside, but they were COLD inside. We had to wait for the waitress to appear again before we could even send them back all along my chicken pot pie was sitting there not getting any warmer! The waitress apologized and brought the wings back to the kitchen and insisted on a re-fire even though we said don't worry about it. We ate the underwhelming Chicken Pot Pie (the meat was all dark and chewy) and Salad and then new wings came out ‍. New wings weren't bad, but were obviously frozen. My wife wanted dessert which is why she just got a salad. It was ok. This was our second time here as we had tried the breakfast buffet a year before which was gross with powdered eggs. We should have learned our lesson then, but we were stuck because of the injury. read more

We arrived Friday at 4 and wanted choices so this fit the bill. I should have checked yelp. I ordered the French dip, my husband the pot pie and my daughter the cheese pizza. Nothing was fresh, my husband sent his pot pie back, it was cold in the middle. My French dip was tasteless, the beef jus was just brown oily water. It had 0 taste. The pizza wasn't run in so it didn't come with our food. When it did arrive it was burned on the edges and cold in the middle. Our waitress never came back to check on us. I didn't eat, my daughter ate some pizza and my husband had a bite. We hadn't eaten all day. We all got up to leave and I had to ask her for the check. I told her my dinner was horrible and she ignored me and walked away. Needless to say we won't be going back and I would recommend everyone steer clear. read more

2 1/2 stars. Located at Smuggler's Notch Resort, Morse Mountain Grill is a huge restaurant that serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The place has absolutely no atmosphere and could actually pass for a Denny's. The lunch menu had mostly bar/comfort food with a smattering of salads. Items we ordered: New England Clam Chowder Maple Ale Glazed Wings Smoke House Flat Bread - with pulled pork, Cabot cheese, BBQ sauce Grilled Cheese Platter (with tomato soup) Mac & Cheese with Pulled Pork To be fair I have to point out that my 14 year old was really a fan of the food here. He especially loved the Clam Chowder and really enjoyed the Mac & Cheese with Pulled Pork, which was a huge portion. Husband, 12 year old, and I shared the other items and I was not impressed. The wings were not crisp. Their sauce was straight sweetness without a hint of heat or complexity. The Flatbread itself tasted store bought and the toppings were unappealing. I think I could make better grilled cheese at my house. The only item I enjoyed was the side of tomato soup that came with the grilled cheese. It was thick and hearty with a bit of heat. Service was excellent. We were here for a very late lunch and there was only one other table seated. The kids might enjoy this place but I would not recommend it for adults at all. Come on Smuggler's Notch, you are supposed to be a premium resort. You can do better than this! read more

Service was slow but kind. Food was awful. Buffalo wings were boiled and lacked good seasoning. Chicken fingers looked like they were from a frozen bag. Buffalo sauce on the side was clearer and more watery than usual. Fries were doable. Burger was tasteless. Salad with chicken was very good. Ambiance is like a college dining hall. read more

We came here for their Monday Pirate night for the kids 5:30-8 pm as a party of 6 (2 toddlers). The are 2 sections to the Restaurant - bar side (view of the slops, bar, tall tables) and the Restaurant side (plain, not much decor/ambience). We were seated at the Restaurant side. We were greeted warmly and saw the Friendly Pirate with Mogul Mouse already singing to a table of patrons. They had kids menu for $10.95 which included beverage (juice/milk/lemonade/ice tea), a starter (apple sauce/mandrin orange/...), entree (burger/chicken tenders/pasta/mac n cheese), one side (carrots/salad/fries/curly fries), and desert (chocolate cupcake/ice cream sandwich.. Can Upgrade to a sundae). Between the 4 adults, we ordered Steak frites, curry salmon, nacho, and fish n chips. We weren't expecting much but the food was actually pretty good. The steak frites were tender and cooked medium rare to perfection. The fish n chips were crispy and big portion.... The fries were a bite soft, I prefer crispier fries. The salmon curry was delicious. The kids loved the food and entertainment. They can be loud and no one cares. It was great! The pirates & mogul mouse visit each table, sing and tell jokes. Totally a family friendly place. If you are staying at the Smuggler Notch, I recommend to come here on Monday night. Very well done. read more

The worst meal I've had in a long time. So disappointed - why not actually have GOOD food at a mountain resort?! Ugh. I thought I was safe with a salad topped with salmon. The salmon was super fishy and off tasting. The salad had way too many nuts and cranberries and no actual salad. The waiter was clueless, slow, inattentive. He couldn't answer a single question. Husband asked for another beer, never brought it. It wasn't even busy. Kids meals were garbage. Mac and cheese tasted like orange water. Super pricey too for a bunch of crap food. Don't bother with this place! read more

We went with a large party of 12 for a 5:30 reservation. The service was slow, although the waitress was very nice. We ordered wings and pretzel bites to start. We were then told that they were out of pretzels. The buffalo wings were actually pretty good. We finally placed our order and were then told that they were out of the turkey wrap and steaks. After we placed a new order another server came over with our waitress to tell us that they now have steaks. One said their computer system was wrong and the other said that they went and got some...who knows from where?? When the entrees came, all the sides were mixed up. The burgers were decent and so were the ribs. The kids pizzas are terrible. They were the type that all the cheese falls off when you pickup a slice. In the end, I'd stick to wings, and burgers and expect to wait. read more

Stopped in for breakfast after checking out of our condo. After being seated it took about 20minutes before anyone took our order. My wife daughter and I got the mountain breakfast for $10 each. Comes with two caged free eggs two sausages or bacon home fries and two pancakes. First off my scrambled eggs resembled the eggs you get from McDonald's that come out of a carton. My daughters sunny side up eggs were cold. The bacon and sausage was ok at best. The pancakes were dry and a grainy texture to them worst pancakes I have ever had. The maple syrup tasted like something bought at the dollar store definitely not pure Vermont maple syrup. The home fries had no seasoning barely cooked. Never got asked if we wanted refills for coffee. Won't ever risk going to Morse mountain grill again no matter what. read more

I have dined at the Morse Mountain Grill more times than I care to remember. Simply out of desperation. Dining options are very limited at Smuggs in the winter if you choose to stay in the resort. The food seems like institutional prepackaged Sysco fare. Similar to what one would expect in a hospital or on a college campus. It's tolerable but you will never leave saying "that was great". My recommendation is to stick with basic fare like sandwiches, burgers and fries. The service is typically slow even when it's not busy. The Hearth and Candle is a much better choice when dining in the resort but it's a bit on the pricey side. read more

It's located in smuggler's resort. We came here because it's convenient. What a mistake. To begin with, the hot chocolate we ordered was unbearably sweet. We could scoop huge chunks of sugar sitting at the bottom of the mug. Gotta say that the garlic bread appetizer was very very tasty! Unfortunately that was the only dish that was good. Firecracker shrimp was soaked in salty Asian flavored water, which I guess I can get a bottle of sauce from the supermarket and make it better myself. The vegan ravioli was okay, but not worth it. Service is good here. Overall the bill came out to be almost $100. Trust me, you can get a cheaper yet way more delicious food from the town (around 15 minutes drive). read more

The food was not good. I had the steak and it didn't taste very good. The potatoes were yummy and the green beans were very well prepared. I had to douse my steak in A1 to be able to eat it. It was relatively affordable for the area. read more

Made a reservation for lunch online, the hostess was fantastic. Friendly, personable. The good stopped there. Our Waitress was a lady named Jamie, she forgot our drinks. Served our appetizer, which was okay but same thing you get at the Gas station. Brought our entrees, had to ask for our drinks, never got straws. We were the only people in there so you would think she could have easily checked on us. Couldn't find her for most of the meal bc she was out chatting with the hostess or on her phone behind the bar. Food was okay, not the best nor worth $60 for a burger, nachos and pulled port sandwich read more

My boyfriend and I had breakfast here one day while we stayed at the Smugglers Notch resort. The place was not busy and we were alone after another couple left. The breakfast was just OK - the portions were good for price paid, however. The potatoes were cold as were the pancakes. The scrambled eggs were warm but they seemed stiff (I like fluffy eggs). Not sure I'll be back next time we return to the area. read more

Solid 3- 4 stars. We ate here twice and got a to go order once while skiing at Smuggs. It's convenient one waiter was ok, one friendly and bar tender who did take out (Jed or Joel maybe) was incredibly friendly and helpful. Most food items were average, nothing was bad. However, the Sycamore salad and Turkey burger were fantastic. The poppy seed maple salad dressing was our favorite dressing we had in a week of Vermont travels. Kids meals are very generous and come with a drink and dessert. If you want fancy, go to Hearth and Candle next door. If you want quick and cheaper, go to the deli next door. read more

Ate dinner and breakfast here while staying at the resort. Very impressed by the selection and quality--breakfast was a huge success all the way around. Dinner was a little lonely and a little steep on the prices. read more

Avoid by all means possible. Bad food, slow service. Take your money elsewhere. Please.

Ordered take out to avoid the wait for a table....but doesn't help when the order comes out incorrect. Then waited another 10 minutes to find out the kitchen didn't even have any left. Curly fries were cold and soggy. The kids didn't like the chicken tenders or the so called mozzarella cheese sticks, and they eat EVERYTHING! To their credit, the very small portion of bread pudding was decent. read more

We had dinner here our first night at Smugglers Notch. Service was good, food was good, kids loved the magician that came table to table. A little pricey but expected due to the fact that we're in a resort read more

Lunchtime break from skiing. Got a burger - no bun, with a side of coleslaw and unsweetened ice tea. Very yummy. My daughter got a veggie wrap with a side of fry. She loved the wrap. It looked great. The side of fries were a tad cool and soggy. But still a nice rest-bit from the slopes. The beer selection looked great. Cheers read more

Excellent food at the foot of the mountain. I strongly suggest to try the salad with scalops and apples. Their maple wings are interesting.

Not good would not recommend not open for dinner which is a shame since there's are not very many options in there area. Got takeout for lunch and it was not prepared still in plastic the breakfast is about equal to a holiday inn breakfast. the menu has very few options for lunch read more

Typically ski resort grub- overpriced and mediocre. I had a BLT which was remarkably bland- you might think- how can you mess up a BLT, but then it gets better- they make their grilled cheeses with tomatoes and mayo, so my wife order one without mayo, and voila- out comes a grilled cheese with no cheese! They get extra points somewhere for managing to eff up a grilled cheese, that's pretty damn hard. Grab a sandwich from Subway in Burlington and save yourself the $. read more

overall nice place but I didn't get a straw for my coke... and you know how I get when I don't have a straw for my coke so that's why this is 1 star. they had ok French fries but the chicken tenders were good I guess.. it's right near where we are staying at smugglers notch so I guess that's a plus.. that's really all I have to say so bye I guess read more

Decent Food, unpredictable service We ate here twice over the course of a long weekend at Smuggler's Notch. The food was good but the service is unpredictable. One night Nash was our server and the food arrived hot and we were taken care of VERY well. One of our party has a Gluten Allergy and Nash made a big deal to ensure his food was prepared appropriately. It was even delivered separately. The other time (Lunch) our waitress was almost nonexistent. I got so frustrated waiting for my hamburger, that I left my wife at the table and went back to skiing without eating. She ate lunch, paid the bill and brought my food out to me later i the day. When you eat at a base lodge, the food should be FAST, HOT and HEARTY. read more

We enjoyed a healthy and tasty lunch with our sons. They certainly catered to children and the timing of all the food was spot on. The staff was very friendly and welcoming! I enjoyed hot specialty drink and we went back the next day too. Check out the next time your at Smuggs. read more

Steak ordered medium served cold and raw with icy mashed potatoes and green beans, they took it back twice, it was still freezing and raw the second time out. Third time out was in a box.... I paid just under 30 for a meal belonged in the trash. They only took 10 dollars off the bill, the meal cost almost 30. The total bill cost 152. The waitress was nice but it was a terrible experience. read more

We pulled into smugglers notch after a very long drive and with 3 adults and 4 kids everyone was starving. This place was right by check in so it was real convenient. That sat us all quickly and the waitress was very sweet and helpful. I did play it safe with the menu by getting one of the burgers and it was delicious. The kids all got kid type food and all seemed to like it. I loved that the kids menu that gave is a legit coloring book with about 8 pages to color on. It was very quiet at the time we went in with only a few tables filled but altogether the service was very good and food was good. Yes the food could have been excellent and then they would of got a 5 star but we didn't leave there saying WOW! My experience....4 stars. read more
