We started visiting Rutland regularly two years ago from NYC metro area, and are so glad we found…read moreWest St Grille! We have frequented since, and can say confidently that this neighborhood restaurant cares immensely about the people they serve and the food they make. The menu is a wonderful mix of familiar comfort food and innovative new specials, all very well executed. Our favorites are the dry rubbed wings, their collection of fresh salads, and many of their creative tacos! We most recently also tried their blackened shrimp risotto special, and were impressed by the dish - large shrimps, perfectly made risotto, with a healthy dash of spinach...absolutely delicious. The staff is always kind and attentive, the drink selection is extensive, and the atmosphere/decor is delightfully eclectic. My 4 and 7 year olds also loves coming to WSG, because of their fun kids menus that offer a variety of kids entrees...they ask to come back even though I make them eat extra vegetables every time. One thing to note, the restaurant does get packed with people and reservations during some events and ski season, so make a reservation online to avoid being stuck waiting a long time! P.S. Sorry for the photos of partially eaten plates...I have little control over when my family digs in to the yummy food. ‍

As soon as you look at the menu, you'll realize this isn't just standard pub fare. There were lots…read moreof "Ooh's" from our party scanning it. And it's not just the menu content, it's little finishing touches on the food. Our group ordered a variety of items ranging from soups to apps to entrees. Mine was an evening special, spicy chicken tacos. The chicken was perfectly grilled with just enough singe for both flavor and texture. Service was casual and friendly without missing a beat. A number of us, including me, were from out of town, and dinner here was a great way to conclude a fun day in Rutland.

The taco dog was super yummy and I liked the flavor! I like that they serve their chili with tortilla chips for some texture. As I ate, I felt my strength returning and it was exactly what I needed. Service was super friendly and I'd be happy to stop by here again after skiing!

It was a cold Winter's afternoon in Vermont, I'd just completed a two-hour hike, and was craving…read morehot soup! With the aid of my Yelp app, I discovered the nearby "Soup Dog" that packs a powerful punch with delicious homemade soups, and gourmet hot dogs. There is a wealth of options in crafting your perfect meal. I went for the combo with a soup (beef chili), hot dog (garnished with horseradish mustard), chips, and a bottled water. Everything was delicious, and I loved the flavor of the beef hot dog! It's a cool spot located across the road from the Killington Ski Resort. However, the restaurant is tucked away behind a pizza restaurant, so you kind of need to know about it. Owner Matt is a passionate and caring small business owner - the beautiful photography on the wall is his work, and there is lots of cool merch. This is the type of business we need to patronize! I strongly recommend Soup Dog for a hot and delicious lunch. My one constructive suggestion is to add a restroom for patrons, or to offer a solution for diners who may be in transit and need to use these facilities.

They have great pricing here. My partner and I shared some incredible fried cheese curds. I highly recommend ordering those, they were incredible. My burger was good too. You order your food and pay up front and then they bring the food to you. There was one server that was extremely short with us, the other one was really sweet. There is a lot of seating available inside. The walls are lined with animal heads, so gives it a rustic hunting feel. I was most excited to try Vermont's signature: a maple creamee. Keep in mind they give you huge servings of this delicious soft serve. My partner and I shared a medium and could barely finish it. It tasted like delicious buttery maple syrup pancakes. If you're looking for affordable, local fast food, the Maple Angus is a good pick.

It started as a food truck and now it's a brick and mortar although they still cater. We have been here 3x in a week the food is excellent!! They have a huge indoor space and picnic tables outside as well. There is a walk up ice cream window. Lots of options, steak/burgers/pizza, all of the regular fried goodies- mushrooms, fries, onion rings etc. The family runs it and they are wonderful people. They run their specials on their facebook page. They have maple creemees & this one is excellent. They also have black raspberry soft serve which I didn't know existed and am now obsessed with, I am not sure if it's a special though ha. Support local and eat this delicious food!!

Larry cooks up amazing barbecue - pulled pork, brisket, chicken and more. We have gotten takeout form here many times and have always been impressed with the flavor of the meat and the awesome sides. My favorites are the brisket, the cucumber salad, the mac and cheese and the collard greens. My husband loves the pulled pork, baked beans, and cole slaw. Larry makes all the sides himself, often with produce from his own garden. For $15, you get meat of your choice, 3 sides and homemade cornbread. We always have leftovers! We love this great spot. Check it out!
