Reviews
"Very tasty. We had heard a lot about this place and finally decided to give it a try with an open mind since we were huge fans of Misery Loves Company and very sad to see it go away. This is very upscale simple food so it just doesn’t have the creativity and complexity we are fans of. That said what we got was delicious - fresh oysters, a salad, fried oyster mushrooms, fried fish, and fried chicken. The spicy pickles are outstanding and the portion is generous. The biscuits are superb. Service was slightly above average - a bit rushed when clearing food and our drinks and food took a very long time. It’s worth trying, but for the price and generally not being a fan of fried food, it might be a long interval before I return."
"Wow! From the moment my wife and I walked into Onion City Chicken & Oyster, we were greeted with warm smiles and top-notch service. The staff were super attentive and made us feel right at home with their friendly attitude. The dining room is very cozy and elegant! The cocktail menu was impressive, and each drink we tried was incredibly delicious. It was clear that the bartenders put a lot of thought and care into mixing each one. The food was insanely good. The oysters tasted fresh and were wonderful. I'd say the unexpected star for us had to be the Cheddar Beignets - these little delights were irresistible and unlike anything we've had before. My wife and I are already looking forward to our next visit to Onion City Chicken & Oyster. It's rare to find a place that hits all the right notes like this one does. See you again soon!"
"Came in for lunch late on Sunday. Ordered the 4 Oysters (1 Beau Soleil, 1 Chebook Took, 2 Pink Moons), Steak Tartare, Cheddar Beignets, Honey Butter Wings.. some lemonade, and Isastegi (Basque still cider). The Oysters were fresh and tasty. The Beignets and the Wings were the best things we ate, I'd come back just for those two items. The Steak Tartare was decent, but the portion was on the smaller side for the price. Service was good, gave us time to sort out the menu, and checked in on us a few times."
"Frankly, this review is long overdue. Tonight was my first time at onion city chicken & oyster, but I’ve been going to Misery Loves Co since I was a wee undergrad at UVM. If I have any say, my last meal will be the fried chicken and honey butter. Onion city is everything that Misery does best— fried chicken, cocktails, & small plates. I don’t live in Vermont anymore, but misery/onion city is always a must stop when I come home. This evenings meal did not disappoint. We got the cheese beignets (cheese and honey? Perfection), the half fried chicken (perfect for three people) and 3 sides- biscuits, collard greens, and The Onion. Everything was so good. My only regret was not ordering the greens & herbs, which is the most humble and yet my favorite salad on this planet. Eating here feels like coming home. Big props to the bee-haw cocktail & the pink lady, and the honey-sweetened ice cream. The staff is also always so friendly and accommodating. Can’t wait to come back again."
"First time at Onion City and it has already moved towards the top of my Vermont recommendations list. The service was so great - I went with a group of 5 and we were able to get a seat outside (they only have a couple picnic like tables) and quickly order their $2 oyster special (runs until 5pm). They had 4 different kinds of oysters and we really enjoyed them all. Rounded out our meals with a unique Dirty Martini and some of their fried chicken - both were delicious and I will definitely be back for more next time I’m in town. Run don’t walk to check out OCCO at the top of the Winooski circle!"
