Basically, this is a bar that serves food. I had the chicken strips with fries. On the negative side, both strips and fries were both frozen prepackaged. On the positive side, they were cooked properly. The meat tasted fresh and was hot and juicy with a crisp crust. The fries were crisp and well-seasoned. My spouse had a quesadilla that was fresh, hot, and tasty. For beverages, I had iced tea that tasted freshly made. My spouse had a smoked lager that he tells me was the best beer he'd had in Vermont. It was dark, smoky, and slightly sweet. The place seemed a bit understaffed, but the guy who seated us and took our orders was pleasant and helpful. The wait for food wasn't bad at all. As for ambiance, the place is a rustic bar in a strip center. There's a pool room and video arcade attached. There's outdoor seating available. read more

Cozy tavern in the heart of Stowe that is great for groups or just to catch up with a friend. There's an arcade section at one end of the bar and a ton of seating throughout the restaurant. I really enjoyed the historic ski pictures and decorations on the wall. Stowe Cider on tap was great and $8, while the Rimrock burger was decently priced as well. When it comes to tavern food you really can't ask for much and I enjoyed my meal! Sometimes you really just want a great burger with greasy fries. Also, the owner was super nice and our service frequently checked in on us. Great staff and establishment and I will definitely be back in the future! I do have to add that my Rimrock burger has some toppings taken off so it is not everything that is included! read more

Rimrock's Mountain Tavern - Rimrock burger - American Near Me - Stowe, Vermont

Disrespectful or understaffed establishment. Better off making a reservation at The Bench for adequate service and food.

This cheesesteak was probably one of the best I've ever had! Service was friendly. Cozy spot for lunch. read more

Rimrock's Mountain Tavern - Cheesesteak - American Near Me - Stowe, Vermont

Stopped in for dinner after a long day, they had all the NFL games on and we got seated quickly. I had the Vermonter sandwich, which may be the best sandwich I have ever had. They have a pool table and some arcade games, plus outdoor seating. Would definitely recommend! read more

Local place. Fun atmosphere, good food and good service! Comfortable vibes! Couples or families. Definitely recommend for

Ash was awesome, they made our special occasion very memorable and made us feel welcome!!

Local being local. You can tell this is a good local hang. Super friendly patrons and staff. Drink selection is endless and the food is done up right. read more

I'm rating it 4 stars just for the wings alone. AMAZING WINGS!! Great sports bar in Stowe along with solid cheesesteaks. That's all I've ordered there so far but it's all I may need to order lol Decent beer selection, pool, Big Buck Hunter Pro, 10 TV's, and a laid back vibe. read more

This may have been the worst experience I've ever had at a restaurant in Stowe. I love the area and have never had any complaints. However, the service at Rimrock's Mountain Tavern was subpar at best. The waiter was rude, crude, and had an unattractive personality. The restaurant was dimly lit. Lastly, I wouldn't feed my meal to my dog. In short, I'm giving a very generous one star because it wouldn't let me leave zero. The food was mediocre, and the waiter we had did not make up for it. I've read other reviews saying that one shouldn't expect good service if they are visiting from outside of Vermont. It is very true. You'd think, however, that a town boasting some of the biggest tourism in the state would be better. As I said, even my 1 star is generous. read more

The greeter was so cheerful and he also seated us and took our order by memory and I thought gosh, I already like this place, but then the food came out and sadly none of it was memorable. The nightly special of a half rack of ribs needed more sauce as all you could taste was smoke char. I flipped them over to see what was going on and they were beyond burnt, even the bone tips were black. The nightly special pulled pork sandwich was bland and definitely benefited from the added flavor of the coleslaw. Both the wings and potato skins were also surprisingly lacking in flavor, although the spicy dipping sauce for the skins was good. Probably a good place to come to for a drink or to play pool or an arcade game as the atmosphere is lively, just skip the food. read more

I don't like having to leave this review, but if you ever find yourself in Stowe and your not local, your business is neither appreciated nor wanted. Avoid this place. Service was slow. Many tables and chairs were reserved for locals that weren't even there. I found one stool empty at the end of the bar that hadn't been cleaned up yet from the previous patron and asked the 2 women sitting there if it was available. They said it was so I sat down and waited. And waited. And waited. The bar is L shaped and I wanted a beer and some of the taps were on the other section so I got up to go see what selections were available. Maybe 30 seconds. When I got back to the seat one of the employees was cleaning the bar where I was sitting. So I sat down. He told me that the seat was taken. To which a small argument followed when I said I've been sitting here waiting for 10 minutes for service. I only got up to go look at the taps. He then tells me that there was a couple that's been sitting where I was for the last 3 hours and that I couldn't have been sitting there and even so, there's another couple that's been waiting 2 hours for those seats. He then pointed to the other section of the bar and told me to go sit over there. So I did, while moving the reserved sign out of the way. The couple sitting next to that seat were locals and told me those seats have been reserved and empty for several hours. The guy that told me to move seems to be a manager or maybe the owner. Don't know, don't care. He's got an attitude problem and doesn't hide it. I did finally get a beer from the Female bar tender. She was much more pleasant to deal with but still slow. They only seem to want to cater to locals and the visitors can just go somewhere else. Also, the beer I wanted to try, they were out of. read more

My husband and I decided to stop at a Rimrock Mountain Tavern. They had a beer battered cod sandwich special. The sandwich was topped with coleslaw, cheese, lettuce, and tomato. The fish was cooked perfectly and the flavor was amazing. My husband had the Tavern Burger and said it had a wonderful grilled flavor and was high quality meat. Our server was friendly and attentive. The manager also stopped by several times to chat an make sure things were okay. The restaurant was clean and attractive. I would recommend it if you are near Stowe VT read more

Honestly this and docs prob best bet for nice bar food and cold beers, plus here the bartender/waiter dude was super down to earth and just a good guy. When we sat down her was upfront and told us food may be a bit and the earlier we get it in the better so we got a cold round and ordered...great TVs and atmosphere even a few pool tables if you play..Wings are bomb prob right next to docs and burgers wraps were also very good... beers a bit pricey we realized after getting tab but all around great bar, good people, and even better food highly recommend. Something about this place gives a good local, families vibes sorta of spot and you can't just replicate that. Plus nice coffee shop around the corner. read more

We were visiting from out of town. We visited due to the ratings on Yelp as well as recommendations from our hotel staff. We were happy with the food , service and ambiance of the tavern. I definitely recommend you visit while in Stowe. read more

we were visiting from out of town . stopped in and had dinner . Our burgers were brought to table and server never bothered to inquire if we needed any condiments. Finally got the owner/managers attention to help us . I left a tip as usual based on our service and the server evidently changed it to an higher amount when running the charge . My credit card company made the correction. Beware read more

Visiting from out of town, pulled in to Rimrocks on a whim. Food was FANTASTIC with great prices. My mom and I shared several appetizers: the hummus was homemade with fresh made pita bread along with great veggies; the mozzarella sticks were homemade and so tasty; the pretzel was perfect; and the chili was some of the best we've had (and were from the south). The atmosphere was chill and casual; you can tell a lot of locals visit. The service was super efficient and attentive. The manager was also making rounds and talking with folks, which lets you know they really take pride in their establishment. Overall, it was a wonderful experience. We'll definitely be back! read more

Excellent service. Sesting outside is great. Took recommendation on special Ribs with beans and potatoe salad fall off the bone! Pulled pork dandwick with cole slaw on top with fries Best tasting I have had Lots of meat on sandwich as well Definite return visit! read more

In a location devoid of sports bars with tv, this place shines. Food is hands down bar food. But the service and the TVs make up for it. Prep yourself for huge portions. The wings are really good. There can be a bit of attitude from the clientele given it's in Stowe. If you live here (as I do) you get used to it. Btw their wifi is awful and cell service weak. Plan ahead. read more

Rimrock's Mountain Tavern - the bar and televisions - American Near Me - Stowe, Vermont

This is a 4/5. Had: wings, pizza and fish and chips (truffle fries). Food was excellent - tough stuff to "mess up" but they didn't only not do that - they've got their own great takes on all of these options. The valley forge style pizza is great - sicilian but also different. Recommend the wings - some nice flavors and more so big and meaty but also crispy. Top notch. Fish and chips very solid too and love the parm truffle fries. Finally - the value here is incredible! Really reasonable for the area. I will be back read more

Just had one of the best ribs in a long time. Very moist and flavorful pulled off the bone and yummy. I highly recommend stopping for a bite:) read more

Zero stars available? Sat at the bar twice - 2 consecutive days. Sat for at least 10 minutes each time without a greeting. Same two female bartenders. Neither one of them are paying attention to what's going on. I could have poured my own beer and they wouldn't have noticed. Left without a greeting or a drink both times. Awful. Just wanted a friendly greeting and a cold beer. Would've waited for the cold beer with a quick hi, I'll get there when I get there. Good news is that there are plenty of other great bars in the Stowe area. Go see Tori over at Public House. Or Doc Ponds. Great staff. Busy and friendly. read more

This is an awesome late night fall/summer bar. Its got a local feel, but you can just walk in and get a beer at night. There's a huge patio area, descent sized dance floor, and an amazingly fast bartender. I met up with a small group I had just met at the snowflake resort early in the night. They said they'd be there, and as we walked in.. well there they were! Our two groups merged to take up one of the giant tables on the patio (next to a st. bernard puppy). As we got drinks, and whiled the night away, groups of people would join and leave us. Overall, drinks were reasonable (keep in mind I'm coming from boston) and the place has an amazing layout if you're with a group with diverse tastes. The Giant St. Bernard helped too... read more

Visited on a busy Friday night and still had great service. Food was excellent (we had the burrito and the house made Mac and cheese which was suuuuper flavorful and not overly cheesy--perfect!). TV's had different games on so that was nice. Headed to their in house arcade after and had a blast there as well! All around great experience. 13/10 recommend! read more

We only showed up here because we were starved and trying to find food after 10pm in Stowe is an exercise in futility. We were told at that hour their kitchen only served chicken fingers fries and mozz sticks. Beggars cant be choosers so we took what they had. The chicken fingers were surprisingly good; this place obviously turns into a rowdy bar wanna be "club" after 10..lots of drunk girls dancing to hip hop in one area, crowds gathering at the bar..backwards baseball caps..you get the picture. I guess the young people of Stowe need place to get down get down too. read more

Definitely a local hangout. That couldn't have been made clearer. Great beer selection and bar food. However I'm not sure they 3 four top tables should ever sit open for 3 hours during ski season, just because they are "reserved" for "our regulars." read more

Would give zeros if possible. Horrible food, don't go hungry. They claim to have the TV football package. What a joke! Owner is rude and doesn't accommodate someone who is to pay a lot. NEVER AGAIN!! read more

They stop taking names for their wait list at 6pm and don't allow reservations. Seems rather early for a 9pm kitchen close. Happened to us two nights in a row mid week. If they can't appropriately manage a waitlist, what mistakes and issues must happen in their kitchen? read more

Tasty black bean burger, side salad of champions, and wonderful house-made (I'm assuming) creamy balsamic dressing... My friend let it be known that she loved her burger. The atmosphere is very "Vermont." The bartender was friendly and attentive. read more

The food was great, the service was friendly and fast. We had the chicken pesto sandwich and the chicken wrap. Both were excellent.

Great good and service. Owner was very friendly. Worth the trip. The Philly sandwich rocked!

Not good felt like I was eating McDonald's that had been refried I'd try anywhere else in Stowe.

A good sports bar if you are looking for it in Stowe. The bartender Matt was GREAT who accommodated all of me and my families needs. One bartender refused to serve us because we had Eagles gear on which I thought was pretty ridiculous considering that's YOUR JOB but luckily we had Matt. The food was delicious as well! If you decide to go here ask for Matt he is amazing! read more
