The Orange Rind 427 Vermont 114, Burke, VT 05832

"The atmosphere was very nice outside. Our first impression with the food wasn’t great. Steak quesadillas were super greasy and salty and the steak was more like the “Steak Ums” I ate as a kid - not actual steak cubes. We will definitely be back, but probably just to have a few beers. Owner seemed a bit full of himself as well."

"The best thing about this place is the atmosphere. It is a totally chill, river vibe. Everyone is laid back, friendly outdoorsy folk. Further the smoothies are delicious and the the servers friendly. A full bar with this restaurant, and street tacos to boot. It's family friendly chill, with kids and dogs hanging with you as well. I came single and had a blast, as much as those with big groups and small families. For trail riders, you can even park your bike at the bike rack in back near the seating and everyone respects personal property, so no worries. I think I found my new hangout. Update: 9/19/2023. I have now been there 3 times. What shocks me the most is that with all the people going through this place, I was remembered. The second thing I loved is the consistency in food. My green goddess smoothie was just as good this time as it was the last. Oh and the grill cheese is PERFECTION!!!! For the hungry, but wants to feel like they are being "healthy", have the Greek bowl. It was perfect! Sooo definitely my hangout spot now. The live music was perfect, too."

"I must have deleted my old review from 5 years ago. I didn't like the food back then and the servers were rude. I went again last week with family. Granted we got there late and had been on a pub crawl. There was only 20 minutes left. But the tenders were nice, and had mentioned that we could only have 1 drink since they could tell we had a few. Then they told us they were closing and we had to leave. All with a smile and very nice. Ill go back at a decent hour."

"Great place! We stumbled upon this place while we were looking for lunch driving from Quebec back to Boston. This was the perfect place to come across! We were able to enjoy a nice lunch outside. We had great service and the food came out quick and was fantastic! Loved the area, the view of the river and it was a perfect place to find on our toad trip."
