Ranch Camp is part bike store, part restaurant/bar. I want to spend more time at both. To sound like a nerd, the thing that grabbed the most of my attention was the stylish nature of some of the bike helmets. I noticed this before I took a gander at the menu.
The menu, the menu! Two different selections of fries made it a hard choice to pick only one carb, but the Friendly Fries were a definite win. The two different dipping sauces that came with the Friendly Fries were great. The sweet potato fries were fried and salted to taste, and provided an excellent platform to deliver the flavor sauces that came with it.
The portion size of the food is something to write about and notice. The Cobb Salad was healthy, designed for afternooners who are coming back from a hike or a bike ride. The pulled chicken, along with the bacon, gave it good texture along with the rest of the salad.
Gluten-free options were available, and their drink selection provided a few options for the person who is gluten-conscious. I'd say that it's hard for a business to run two separate functions, but somehow, Ranch Camp does it.
One last thing before you finish reading, if you plan on staying in the Stowe area for longer than 3 days, you may want to come back here to try some of the other menu items. It all looked so good...
I loved everything about this place!! As a diner with celiac disease there were several options and my server and the team were very intentional about handling my dietary restriction with care. The atmosphere was great! The decor was like a mini buffet for the eyes. The food was absolutely delicious too.
I ate in the Burlington one while visiting from Pennsylvania. I really wish we had one of these near where I live. The abundance of gluten-free choice and dairy free choice was exciting for me. Food And smoothies were delicious. Please open one near Downingtown, Pennsylvania. Nothing like around here.
Food was very tasty but for the burger it costs $3 to add on sweet potato fries, 2 or $3 for a gluten free bun, and even $2 freaking dollars to add tomato and onion, what?!? All these things cost normal prices, are easily available, and should be options not requiring repricing. Furthermore the moment I walked in with my water bottle filled with spring water I was told I couldn't drink that in there due to policy, but they didn't have any non-sparkling pure water alternatives, instead forcing you to drink disgusting heavily chemical laden tap water. I never write reviews so the fact i'm writing this is your sign. We can't support businesses with practices like these with our hard earned money.
The food was fantastic. We ordered 2 different crepes but with buckwheat as one of us have celiacs. They took the allergy seriously which was much appreciated and the food was much better than we expected considering they were suing buckwheat as the alternative.
Will definitely be eating here again when we visit.
Loved that they are open a little late so when you’re in more of a breakfast for dinner mood they have options available.
great experience, every time! i’ve been going here pretty consistently for a few years, and the food and service has always stood out to me. i’m gluten and nut free, and they are very accommodating and willing to help you out. the food is also amazing- the best burger i’ve had!
I love the sesame chicken salad! You can sub out the grains for more greens. and The chicken is perfectly cooked in a delicious Asian marinade. The roasted broccoli and crunchy carrots add more interest and nutrition. The dressing is flavorful. This salad is so healthy and delicious that I actually prefer it to their excellent burgers.
They are about as gluten friendly as anybody could hope for in a restaurant of this kind.
The Meltdown and their staff consistently hit it out of the park. I have never had a bad meal or service at their establishment. Even the pickiest of eaters in my life dream over the next time they can dine here. What people have to remember is that each menu item is literally an entree made into a sandwich. The explosiveness of flavors, the freshness, and the dynamic ingredient list make every bite a culinary experience. The price of produce has gone up and so have menu items everywhere. As someone who travels for work, I’ve spent more on meals elsewhere and been disgusted and unfulfilled. A result which never happens at The Meltdown. While I dislike being gluten free, it’s an unfortunate reality for me. Options aren’t as widespread as people think and every GF meal I’ve had here makes me question “how can something this good be GF?!” I’m given the comfort of food I miss with every item and a plate so full that leftovers are always taken home. The owners expect a caliber from their staff which is sorely missing in today’s world, bringing the dining-out experience back to life. I had the GF Gobbler special and it’s no easy feat to make a whole separate group of dishes to cater to a small group that requires it. From the first bite, I felt the flavors of home and my childhood across my palate and it carried through to my last bite later in the evening.
Great spot for wood fired pizza. Great that they have a gluten free crust option. The pizza ovens are in the middle so you can watch them going in and out. Pretty neat!
A place that advertises an entirely separate GF oven and has vegan cheese sounds perfect for our family. But their GF dough is made of wheat starch, which is NOT sufficiently free of protein for many with celiac and anyone with allergies. No sense having a dedicated space if you are using ingredients that quite possibly contain gluten (speaking as a health professional who has done the research on wheat starch ppm of gluten). Only other item available for me on the menu was a $10 "salad" of just greens...which came salted?!...and the salty cured meat appetizers. Huge huge let down. Please avoid if you are wheat or gluten free.
The gluten free chicken bacon ranch was so good and it was one of the best gluten free crusts I’ve had. I like that there are gluten free options for pizza. The service was also fast.
Craving an exceptional burger, Worthy Burger is an absolute must-visit. This spot consistently delivers on flavor and quality, making it a local favorite.
The burgers and fries are simply outstanding. The patties are juicy and cooked to perfection, and even if you prefer a straightforward order like I do, you'll appreciate the quality. For those who like to customize, Worthy Burger offers a surprisingly wide array of options, ensuring there's something for every palate. For those with dietary needs, they offer delicious gluten-free buns, a huge plus that makes their fantastic burgers accessible to even more people.
Beyond the food, the atmosphere at Worthy Burger adds to the experience. During the warmer months, you can enjoy your meal at their outdoor seating, taking in the Vermont air. If you're looking for a slightly more sheltered option that still feels open, their screened-in porch is a fantastic choice.
The ordering system is straightforward and efficient: you simply order everything at the bar, and they'll bring your food right to your table. This casual, laid-back approach fits the vibe perfectly.
Worthy Burger is a fantastic spot for a delicious and satisfying meal. Whether you're a purist or love to experiment with toppings, and especially if you need a gluten-free option, you won't be disappointed.
Beer and cider selection is great.
I enjoyed a very delicious sandwich on a GF/vegan bun. I have celiac and the server was knowledgeable and accommodating. Beautiful outdoor space made for a great rest on our journey. Highly recommended.
Incredibly friendly and informative staff with an amazing atmosphere. They offer a wide range of gluten-free options, including bread and pasta substitutions. All of the food and drinks were top-tier. I could not recommend this place more.
Gluten-free friendly! They have a separate fryer for their fries and chicken nuggs 👍 amazing beer selection with an awesome selection of rotating Hill Farmstead beers on tap
We had a wonderful experience at Shakedown Barbecue and Stowe Cider. We arrived at 7 PM on a Saturday night and we’re quickly seated. The wait staff and chef were highly knowledgeable about gluten-free options and were very accommodating regarding our family's allergies. After dinner, the owner, Mark, gave us a brief tour of the cider production. The food and cider were delicious; we can't wait to return. PS. The nachos were the kind that is put together and then baked in the oven & the cheesy gooeyness that makes them the best! On top of all of this, Tim Reynolds was playing on the stage in the next room over!
Great experience from start to finish with The Porch Catering for our wedding this June in Manchester. Gretchen and her team were very responsive and accommodating to our menu requests and adjustments. They were also able to accomodate our gluten free guests without any issues. Their staff at the event were professional and kind. Everything tasted fresh and delicious, multiple guests commented on how good the food was. Definitely would recommend!
Went here for lunch while on a friend’s bachelorette trip. Really delicious food. Great gluten free options as well as vegetarian/vegan options (celiac friendly). Great service, everyone was really friendly. Cool vibes. Definitely recommend!
We've been here twice, and the food has been excellent twice! They easily accommodate our food allergies, with a menu clearly marked for gluten, nuts, etc.
Last minute decision on a late lunch/dinner after visiting Skyline Drive and so happy we did!!! Delicious food and specialty drinks wer on point! My half duck gluten free curry dinner was AMAZING! Hubby had a spicy chicken and veggie curry and also delicious (too hot for me but he loves spice!!!!). A Cosmo and Mohito later, and I wish this restaurant was near us in NJ. Thanks for the quick and delicious meal! A++ pleasnt VT vacation!
My experience at this restaurant was one of the best I have ever had. The service was outstanding. Gabby, Our server understood that I had a dairy allergy and a gluten intolerance and catered to that specifically this has been the first restaurant that I have not had to return food for A server not paying attention to the order. Gabby‘s passion for her job was shown through her smile and Positive vibes She carries.
Gluten free bread, win!
I spend under 25 dollars for a breakfast platter with a large coffee with gf bread and local raspberry jam, double win! Genuinely my go-to place for a quick breakfast before work.
Good drinks and food. Ordered the gluten free mushroom pizza and it didn’t taste like cardboard or sadness. Forgot to take a photo because I was famished. Would order again!
The Skinny Pancake at Burlington International Airport offers a convenient dining option for travelers, featuring a menu centered around crepes, paninis, and local Vermont ingredients. Popular items include the Noah’s Ark crepe and the pulled pork Johnny Crepe. The restaurant also provides gluten-free and vegan options, catering to various dietary needs .  
While many patrons appreciate the friendly service and fresh offerings, some have noted inconsistencies in food quality and portion sizes. There are reports of overcooked items and unexpected service charges . Despite these concerns, the establishment remains a favored choice for its early opening hours and the lack of alternative dining options post-security.
We had American Flatbread come to our wedding venue to make pizza for 100 people on site. They were very easy to work with, and arrived on time to quickly set up their own oven and tent to provide delicious appetizers and pizza for all of our guests (even during a thunderstorm that rolled through). The pizzas were incredibly delicious, and they did a great job accomodating our guests, including those with severe gluten allergies.
Amazing on all fronts. Tons of dishes that are/can be vegan and/or gluten free. Do not miss the mock eel; I was skeptical but i promise you will be happy. I can’t even remember everything we ordered but every dish was delicious and had a unique flair. It was fun to have it family style and try so many things!
Recently ate at bramble and almost everything on the menu is gluten free or can be modified to accommodate at a celiac safe level. The duck was delicious and we also got some of the gluten free pizzas that are made in a separate oven. The pizza was so delicious and even great when eating leftover the next day.
We were looking for a breakfast place in Stowe around noontime and most of the places were already done serving breakfast. We kind of stumbled upon The Skinny Pancake while on our drive to town and called to see if they had gluten free options and were so excited to find out they did for our daughter with celiac. Upon entering you can instantly feel the Vermont warmth and style with the exposed wood, fresh made coffee from Artisan brand and smell of fresh crepes. The service was friendly and the crepes were delicious! My daughter loved her gluten free Chocolate Hazelnut crepe and asked to come back again! The vegetable crepe was so tasty and flavorful. Highly recommend this place!
Excellent place to eat. My husband and I found this place while in the area and stopped in for lunch. The fajitas were delicious and I was happy they were able to substitute the flour tortillas for corn ones. My husband got the burrito with seitan and said it was the best burrito he’s eaten. Glad they had vegetarian and gluten free options. They have outdoor seating which was good for us since we don’t eat at restaurants indoors.
Two 5-star breakfasts at Toast & Eggs during our Waitsfield weekend. The Best gluten-free bread! A warm welcome and pleasant service both visits. Highly recommend.
Chicken Marsala was well executed. The sauce had tremendous umami, not shy on the garlic. Chicken was well seared and juicy. The oven roasted carrots were yummy. I got mine served over mashed potatoes as I’m gluten sensitive.
Delicious local Poké bowls. I always need to look for gluten free (GF) options when traveling and The Scale will always be my go to when I’m back in the Burlington area.
The work has quality food and fast. I love that I can order online, run in and pick my order off the shelf. I also love that they are environmentally conscious.
The Quinoa bowls are very filling and the artichoke and basil melt on gluten free bread is my fave!

Our first visit to Vermont in a long whole for my wife and I and the first place we visited for dinner was The Whip, and we could not have been more pleased and satisfied with our experience. Excellent service, excellent food. Many Gluten Free and Dairy Free choices, very accommodating and the food is great. My wife who does not share the same dietary restrictions absolutely loved dining here. I highly recommend.
Won't be back.
Wait staff was just terrible.
#1 Didn't seem to understand my allergy. I explained i am celiac and will get sick etc. Please have your staff complete the basic training required, please. However I am happy to explain cause not everyone gets it. She shrugged it off.
My burger came out with a fried onion ring on it. Then she proceeded to pull it off and say it was OK. Ummm NOT ok.
Please understand I don't do this for choice. I get unbelievably sick.
#2 proceeded to disappear.
Watched as she chatted with all the other staff but not check in if we need a 2nd round. I waited good 10 mins and proceeded to go to the bar. Then got total attitude after that for going to the bar.
Fix your staff.
For 99 restaurant is pretty good. The food was as expected. There was a bus of 56 people. Did it just come in before us that we were going to have to wait a long time and we got our food would be Soso. But for having such a large crowd, the restaurant did really well. My husband had a rice bowl with pulled pork and I had a cheeseburger and a gluten-free roll hi. I asked for medium rare, and it came out just that.
