    Caesar salad with anchovies
    Amanda S.

    We went right at 5 on Tuesday for dinner and business was really quiet. The atmosphere was clean and comfortable- loved the exposed brick and cool vibe going on. It definitely felt like more of "bar" type scene, probably more crowded in the late evening/weekends. The staff was really friendly & knowledgable. We ordered two starters, the nachos & buffalo wings. My husband loves wings and he really didn't enjoy these. They were really soft and drenched in sauce. The nachos were really good, but be careful of the peppers- super hot!! We got the chicken caesar wrap & caesar salad with anchovies, both were pretty basic. Good, but not great.

    Their great clam chowder.

    My friends have a classic car restoration shop locally and on a recent visit, they recommended we stop in here for lunch. I was told their clam chowder was "to die for" so that's what I ordered. Usually, I won't order a seafood dish so far from the ocean, but the scouting report was so strong I went for it. On first taste, I knew this was a top ten chowder! Rich, loaded with chunks of clams and loaded with well cooked, but not mushy potatoes. It was so good, I called my clam chowder expert friend to tell him how good it was and he requested I bring home a quart. Leap ahead a few days. I brought the take out chowder to my friend and he confirmed my judgement - this is great food! Definitely top ten. On par with his favorite at the Sturbridge inn. I also had a burger and fries - both excellent but the clam chowder is the reason to visit this small but interesting place. In the area? Definitely stop in. A clam chowder fan, make a trip! Highly recommended.

    Here's the thing about a restaurant in Vergennes. It's very small town so there's not much competition food wise. Which results sometimes in sub-par food you're kind of stuck with because you have no other choice. The food isn't "bad" by any means but it certainly isn't good. I went to both 3 Squares & Park Squeeze, literally next to one anoyher- and both burgers were exactly the same. Bland, clearly prepackaged and over cooked. Neither one was better than the other. I was hoping to find one burger better than the other but no go. I asked for medium rare- here's the photo of my food. It did its job of filling me up but I didn't enjoy it.

    Tangy BBQ ribs with slaw and fries.

    Awesome little place, delicious appetizers and love the tangy BBQ ribs, the sauce is great! Dessert portions are on the small side, but that might be just watch you need after eating a full meal here. Love the look of the place as well.

    I lived in the Vergennes area for 9 years but that was well over 11 years ago back when the Park Squeeze was still the tired little Park Restaurant. Imagine my surprise when I stepped into this narrow little eatery tucked between two other businesses. It's no wider than an alleyway, but you'd never know it until you walk inside. OMG! I was blown away with the transformation! I couldn't believe my eyes! Our guests made 7:00 reservations because it was Friday night. I said, "but it's only Vergennes, how packed can it be?" Well let me tell you, that place was buzzing! The hostess... who we realized after chatting with her has been friends with our daughter for years... took us up a very looong, narrow and steep set of stairs to the second floor (former apartment). The space was incredibly huge! And the magnificent bar! I don't know HOW they got that monster upstairs and in place? Maybe they built it up there? Who knows... thing is, it's enormous and plenty big enough for at least 20 stools around it... and they were all taken. The upstairs is warm and cozy with its brick walls and lighting and intimate seating areas, but upbeat and lively at the same time. The drinks kept flowing, mass amounts of food continually going out to the dining room, and everyone seemed to be having a good time. The menu is American with an eclectic twist. Variations on classic American fare like mac & cheese and burgers. Although we didn't have salads, they looked good as they passed by us to other tables. Our table ordered a plate of Nachos for an appetizer, a glorified version of Mac & Cheese with spinach, bacon and caramelized onions, Linguine with homemade Meatballs, Shrimp Lulu with what looked like vodka sauce over penne, a Squeeze Burger with a fried egg inside, and French fries and basic mac and cheese for our little 4-year-old guest. The food was a hit with all of us. The service was top-notch. The wait time was normal. All in all a great time! We'll be back!

    Quick summary: Amazing burgers - and this claim from someone who is not a huge burger fan…read more I ate here for the first time last week - while on vacation. My wife is a big burger fan (FYI: she raved about her burger, too), so I decided to try the place out, since we were in the area. Bit hard to locate, but parking was fine. Since the weather was good, we ate outside. There is both open air & tent-covered seating options. Speaking of seating - you must memorize your table # BEFORE going inside to order as meals are delivered to your table. I ordered the "Big Daddy M": 6oz beef, medium-cooked, with Bayley Hazen blue cheese, caramelized onions, bacon bits, garlic aioli, bibb lettuce and red onions. What a heavenly, savory combination. Each bite was full of flavor. And the French Fries? Well, super tasty as well - I ate every potato fried crumb. At other places, fries are usually bland, but not here. The order service inside was pleasant and quick; be sure to note the chalk board with a list of food options (e.g. my Wife ordered a custom burger, just the way she wanted). After ordering we went back outside to our #'d table - wait for the food was relatively quick. When done eating, just leave your baskets, etc. on the table (there is a sign stating this practice). Note: while I did not have kids here, there were plenty of families with young kids & toddlers. I definitely want to try this place a 2nd time.

I ended up getting the side salad which was also really delicious - baby lettuce with cucumbers, pumpkin seeds, cranberries with a vinaigrette dressing. This restaurant is pretty casual - you place your order at the bar and find seating anywhere inside. The kids meals were also a sufficient portion of food. Their truffle fries were excellent!

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!

    The Poutine is a MUST order! The combination of sweet gravy, crispy fries and sharp Vermont cheese…read moreis !

We were in town and our friend, who lives in the area, was very excited to take us to this place so we went as his guests. I was unimpressed and very disappointed with our experience.

The edamame hummus with flatbread was so good, could have used a bit more bread though. We were happy with our dinner for the most part, one had the taco salad with salmon and was happy but I had a dish called Bibimbap with salmon that said Crispy Sesame Rice which was what I was after. It came in a small cast iron pan so I was excited and expected crispy rice! I didn't get it though, the rice was just there, Not crispy! Very disappointing! Bobby Flay would scoff at this poor excuse, we know what crispy rice is suppose to be like. The dish should just say with rice since I didn't get a hint of sesame either.
