Don't ever ask him. It has nothing to do with being busy. The Bartender Nazi. Many local regulars have completely stopped or rarely go because of his attitude. A customer is an inconvenience to him.

Which could best be described as simply "okay". My friend and I each ordered a signature cocktail which came with very large light up "ice cube" floating inside it. The biggest take away for me was how much they leaned into their cheesy probation era speakeasy vibe. The entire bar is covered in photographs of flappers and gangsters and the seating exclusively consists on plush velvet couches and chairs. I would like to come here again to try some more of their drink offerings and maybe spend more time absorbing their vibe.

The fried cauliflower with Thai chili was great for an app. I have the steak special. Medium! So good! Perfection! The sides could've been a little bigger but I think they were thinking about plating instead of my stomach which was famished from hiking. Would definitely go again! They also have several TVs to catch the game! My friends got the stuffed baked haddock. It needs a bit of seasoning! Something! Anything! It was a little dry too. :/ but my food was great!

We went here on a Saturday afternoon for a late lunch. I was…read moresuper hungry and opted for the VT burger. It was absolutely delicious. My only complaint is that it was not cooked medium rare as I asked, definitely full on medium. My husband got the straight up burger, and his was good too. The fries were delicious too. I would definitely come back here, particularly when I'm in the mood for a burger! The environment was cozy and perfect for a Vermont winter day. The staff was helpful and pleasant, attentive without being intrusive.

Diane, John, and their crew of dedicated employees, opened this restaurant in the summer of 2020, in the middle of an international pandemic, and still managed to rise to the top as a fantastic, family-oriented, slow food restaurant in a small town with several well established restaurants as its base. Their idea was grounded in the "simple" grilled cheese sandwich, reimagined in some delightfully tasty presentations. The menu is modest and, other than seasonal specials, is steadfast in its design! I have eaten there more times than I can count and have YET to experience any deviation from the quality they presented at the outset! How many restaurants can attest to that, alone? The atmosphere is homey (it is a former home in a lovely neighborhood), the service is top-notch and the food is delicious. The management attends to every table at least once during your stay (so there was ample opportunity for this customer to express any concerns to the person in the best position to correct any issues), and the staff consists of community members who are our friends, neighbors, or children thereof. So special is this space, the youth servers appear every spring in their prom-best to have their pictures taken with Diane and John! How special is that???!!!! This is a team that places community at the center of their work: even facilitating massive community fundraising efforts post-flood, 2024 and 2025! If you live in this area, you already know what a gem this place is. If you are visiting, put a night out (or lunch) on your "must do" list while exploring Barre's rich granite industry history. If you haven't made Barre a stop on your journey, run, don't walk and see what the buzz is all about! See you at The Meltdown!

Aside from Barre Dogs, there's hardly anything to look forward to eating at in Barre. The Quarry I hope is the start of a good turn in Barre business however. The employees they've hired have shown that they're very determined to give the best service they can and it shows. The menu isn't very large, but their portions certainly are. I have a very special place in my heart for any restaurant that sells Calamari. Seeing Calamari on the menu was certainly unexpected and when I saw that they flavor it with buffalo sauce, I nearly soiled myself from delight. I certainly hope this sets a trend for better businesses and adds to a more aesthetically pleasing Barre Main street. Keep it up guys!

We had a scallop po-boy and crab cake sammy for lunch, well after lunch rush. Servers were consistently friendly and helpful. Food came out promptly but both lacked taste. Crab cake was 80% breading, mushy. Scallops were hit and darkly crusted , but not tasty. Watermelon salad was good. Despite ordering bevs with food, none arrived till food was 2/3 eaten. Server's initial response was "waiting on the bar", tho they were apologetic after it took another long time. We could see the bartender chatting with customers and wiping things down, so suspect there was a teamwork issue. Seems like this business needs owner's TLC!
