Despite the dreary weather we felt welcomed upon arrival. Our server was friendly and responsive. For my drink, I ordered a Vermont beer staple, Switchback, which was one of the local drafts on tap. For my meal, I ordered the shroom burger which was both delicious and filling. My wife ordered the popular poutine appetizer for her meal. It was huge and tasty! I recommend the Tavern on the hill to anyone visiting Newport, VT!

The fare was on the nicer end for a tavern while still being moderately priced. A good selection of drinks too. We got the poutine, bbq sandwich, scampi special, and a wrap. The bbq was a little too saucy for my preference but I might be in the minority there. Id definitely try again.

The elk steak was excellent. it was medium rare so I was able to taste the meat. I had Montreal seasoning applied to the elk. The service is good. We came here for lunch just before it became extremely busy. This is a very popular place in Derby Vermont. The total cost of lunch was $47 which was very reasonable. This is a highly recommended place to eat in Derby Vermont. It is popular with the local population.

They are doing a wonderful job, and I am so, so glad they didn't come and go like the other restaurants in that spot before it. You probably knew that from the other reviews, but I have another reason I am writing this. I came here with my husband one night months ago, and he got a cocktail that had cherry and bourbon as the main flavors. I stole most of it from him :D. It was so good that every time I get another cocktail somewhere else, even if it is good, I just wish it was the cherry bourbon one. So, if you're there and they still have it on the menu, I suggest you get it. And if the establishment is reading this, my vote is to keep that one around.

We got our little buzzer and we were told to stay within a half mile. We sat outside across the street on a bench. We watched numerous groups of 3+ go in and not come back out, which means they were seated. When, after 40 minutes, we were called in, none of those groups were at the bar. Kinda makes you wonder. We ordered cokes. $5 each and got refills, but when the bill came was shocked to be charged for every refill! We spent more on cups of Coke than the actual effing meal!!! Ordered the steak medium. It was rare. Oh well, was hungry and didn't want to wait any longer. But it was good. Buffalo chicken cheese curd fries were good, but chicken was dry. The cheesecake was not tasty at all. The burger was "mid," according to my son.

I tried two cocktails from their drink menu, both expertly crafted by Athena with fresh ingredients, and they were some of the best drinks I've EVER had.

This place is the real deal...excellent slow cooked smoked BBQ!!!…read more I researched a ton of restaurants within 1.5 hours of Lincoln, NH (we are here for a week in May 2025) and this place made the list of "hopefully we can work in" and gladly we did!!! Jackson was a great and upbeat server, so good I would ask for him by name! The vibe of the joint is very comfortable and inviting... They had good music on and it's got an outside porch although we ate inside because it was on the warm side. I've had a lot of barbecue and I know it's good bye any standards... But for New England, it might be the very best I've had... The brisket, the pulled pork, and the ribs were all outstanding! I consider the Mac very good. The slaw was good, not exceptional like the other stuff, but that's probably a taste preference. And while I'm not gonna say that this place is cheap, but barbecue can be very very expensive in 2025, this seemed fairly priced. I never say that anymore. In my opinion, it is worthy of a multiple hour drive. We will be back!!!

Make it a stop on your way up to Canada or if you are out enjoying the northern Vermont countryside. Their restaurnat too is on the V.A.S.T. trail system & are big supporters.
