Workhorse Cafe

"Wow! Love this place! Best place I have found in Vermont! I have gone in and had their gigantic breakfast burrito twice! They are the nicest people, great customer service. Went in today and they were busy! Long line but fast friendly service! Today I had the best Philly cheese steak sandwich I have ever had. Add jalapenos of course. I cannot say enough about how great this little spot is. Affordable, delicious, friendly. What more could you want? Feels like you are family when you walk through the doors."

"This place is unbelievably fantastic. We get so excited every time we walk in. Absolutely our favorite spot in Stratton. Banh mi is superb, the Vermonter is our long time favorite (add the hash brown!!), and the Philly breakfast bowl is a decadent pile of delicious. It’s apparent that effort and time is put into every menu item. Always consistent, friendly and kind staff. An absolute must visit."

"This place is shockingly good. We had the duck poutine, a workhorse sammie (not pictured) and ice cream sandwiches, and they were all perfect. I always have low expectations when it comes to BBQ in the north, so the workhorse sandwich was a huge surprise, as it's extremely good. The duck poutine is killer. I love that they bread the curds, which allows them to stand up to the gravy and gives them a chicken nugget-like texture. The thinly sliced duck and mushrooms add the perfect amount of fat and umami. The black cherry ice cream sando was also a pleasant departure from expectations. I was thinking this would be a standard cherry flavored ice cream affair. Nope. It was a brick of ice cream between two rich brownies, and the ice cream had the slightly boozy flavor of a cherry cordial, one of my favorite holiday confections. This place is a gem. Now I need someone to come along with a hand cart and roll me out if here. So. Full."

"Came here expecting good stuff but was blown away by how good everything was. Onion rings did not slide out of the tasty brown breading. The chicken sandwich was full of good sized cuts of chicken but no something you had trouble biting, or that become a giant mess. Fries are salty and fresh. Chicken tenders are not the run of the mill type, but aren't the super fancy ones that no kid on earth would eat. Nice little space in the back with tables to dine in. Great little serve yourself coffee bar. Plenty of drinks to choose from and all of our food came out quicker than expected. The menu offers a ton of vegetarian and vegan items, but there is more than 1 thing for everyone. I told the young lady at the counter that a great review was coming, and this place checks every box with bold ink. I've saved the best part for last, and thats their desserts. Mississippi Mud pie, a chocolate chip cookie cake, the list goes on, and each one of their delicious offerings was so good I found myself scraping whatever I could out of each of the dishes they are served in. Yum! Will def go back, and as often as possible. Prices are fair, the vibe in the place is chill and even the bathrooms look they are tended to regularly throughout the day. Parking can get tricky, but I've never been to a good spot that didn't have this problem. One of the coolers is stocked with frozen dinners to to heat up at home. I'm going to load up on these next time. Try it for yourself if you are in the area! Oh, and markers and plenty of paper for kids to doodle!!"

"Great place with amazing food. I've been there several times now and I've never been disappointed. Food is always fantastic. There's a deck off the back with tables that overlooks a stream. They do serve canned beer and other canned alcoholic drinks too if you plan on eating there."
