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.
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!
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.
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.
AMAZING food! I am gluten and dairy free and they were able to accommodate their breakfast sandwiches and lattes to my needs. The atmosphere is very homey and warm. The staff were so kind and very helpful/patient when I needed to customize my sandwiches. I definitely recommend if you’re in the area!
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.
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.
The best thing I’ve ever eaten: their gluten free vegan blondie with maple syrup, chocolate chunks, and walnuts. It was AMAZING. Delicious. Incredible. They warmed it up and it was melt in your mouth good. Thank you for having so many good vegan options!!
Love Dosa Kitchen’s masala dosas at their food truck and their dosa batter! Their masala dosa is rich and flavorful. And I love that their dosa batter is gluten-free and vegan. It makes a wonderful gift for the foodies in your life.
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.
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!

I had the Demeter Omelette- it so good with fresh ingredients, Gluten free friendly too. my order w/o cheese was correct and they had dairy milk for coffee. Great atmosphere with outdoor seating.
Two stars bc my dairy/egg/nut allergy daughter was able to have ice cream here during her month-long stay in VT. No more than that, though, because B&J as a company haven't figured out yet that people with allergies often have more than one. Why make multiple dairy-free ice creams and add wheat into every one of them? It's beyond illogical. A simple dairy-free chocolate, or geez use GF oreos, and you are all set. Instead, there's nothing even at the VT locations for people allergic to two top allergens: wheat and dairy (notably, the two most common triggers of adult EoE as well, and frequently problematic for people with celiac also). Sorbet is not ice cream. Please don't use that as an excuse.
With few other options in the area to go to, we found ourselves here a few times. Thankfully the pizza is great. Customer service was good. They also have a gluten free crust ( I have an intolerance not an allergy) and it was the best gluten free crust I've ever had. The regular pizza is a sourdough base, also equally delicious.
We hired the Woodbelly team to cater our wedding at the iconic Sleepy Hollow Farm in Woodstock, VT. As soon as my fiance and I walked into the Woodbelly shop for our tasting in Montpelier, we almost immediately knew we would want to work with them this summer. BLM artwork litters the walls, there's a sign that says "trans people eat free" under the register and Hailey greets you with the warmest smile from behind the counter!
Then...we tried the food. Nothing could have prepared us for how absolutely delicious everything was! And its not just their pizza thats mind-blowing, so are their vegetarian and chicken dishes. Hailey's service was wonderful, she (and her sweet daugther!) even did a site visit before the wedding to give us advice on where her team should set up, and what makes the most sense for rental planning. She was extremely accommodating to our vegan diet, as well and provided gluten-free alternatives for our guests. My parents mentioned "faine" aka "farinata," because we eat that with our pizza in our home-country of Argentina, and Hailey offered to learn the recipe and make it for us at the wedding. Thats how thoughtful she is!
We ordered:
- grazing table full of local cheese and meats
- maple seared scallops
- fish cakes
-farinata
-green salad with seasonal veg
-maple braised chicken thighs and drumsticks
-quinoa & bean stuffed squash
-pizza buffet with vegan cheese and GF crust options
-peach & blueberry cobbler
At the wedding, no one could stop talking about how incredible the food was, and how absolutely lovely Hailey and her staff are. We could not have had a better experience. Thank you and your team for making this happen!
Don't have photos to share yet (photos are yet to arrive from the photographer) but will leave you with this one of the bride getting her hands messy in some pizza :)
This place is heaven, for meat and non meat eaters! Im celiac and vegan and they took SUCH amazing care of us - M and Kaleb are so kind and wonderful, weve come back three times in ten days. We could not recommend more!!!
The gluten free pizza at Bluestone is amazing and as a person with celiac disease and it nice to have somewhere local that I can grab a pizza and not have to worry about getting gluten poisoning by accident or cross contamination. The restaurant atmosphere is also cool and low key and the full bar and outdoor seating is also a huge plus.
We were visiting from the UK and found everywhere busy as it was a Friday night and we hadn't booked. We waited about 20 mins for a table. Very friendly and accommodating staff,very personal. Good menu selection with good gluten free options. Ollie our server was amazing as was the manager. I had pulled pork in a gluten free bun & yummy fries, (amazing). Steakhouse burger and Chipotle chicken sandwich both with fries, Pumpkin pie (wow!), ice-cream.Beer & coke. Check was $82 plus tip.
Overall, amazing experience and delicious food. Would definitely recommend.🙂
Over-priced toppings. My wife and I went to AFB specifically for gluten-free and dairy free Flatbread pizza. Unfortunately, they were out of dairy free cheese, so we had to get it without. However, we added toppings such as chicken, Olives, and sun-dried tomatoes. AFB charges $2.50 for each additional topping, so you'd expect the toppings to be generous, right? Nope. The chicken was thinly shredded and sparse. Same for the sun-dried tomatoes. The olive topping probably equated to one or two whole Olives cut up and distributed across the pizza. So we paid almost $8 for maybe $1 worth of toppings. Absurd.
What a great lunch my family and I had today at Rivershed. I had the sausage cart burger that was very good. My wife had a gluten free pulled pork sandwich and potato salad. She loved it. The kids loved the pulled pork mac and cheese and the melt. Everyone was very impressed how good the food was. We will definitely be back!
Delicious homemade pasta. Both my hard-to-please teens loved it. And my gluten free pasta was also delicious. Priced very reasonably and excellent service. Can’t wait to go back
My Husband and I rarely go out to eat, but this restaurant is worth every penny. Very knowledgeable servers who offer recommendations for every food allergy (I have Celiac- plenty of options). The food is incredible and comes in smaller shareable dishes.
Make sure you order the Tahini Sundae to top off your experience, you won’t regret it!!
Never met a Jersey Mike's I didn't like. My goto is the 17 Philly.
I find they've gotten a little lax with the gluten free. For example, last time they had the separate station which they cleaned off to prepare my wife's sub then someone came by and tossed three regular rolls right next to where hers was being actively prepped. In my experience, that never would have happened a few years ago.
Still delicious though.
Best Gluten Free crust in the area. Love the Green Mountain Pizza - ask for a side of syrup if you like it sweet. Always have Hill Farmstead Beers on tap. Can eat outside on the lawn on nice days in the summer.
We hired trail break for a 110 person party at our farm. WOW did they deliver! The food was superb and the guests kept talking about it. It worked great for the variety of allergies and dietary preferences guests had. Tacos are easily gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian and great for omnivores! The drinks were awesome - without us even asking they had a hard-to-get beer that had the guests excited. The mixed drinks were bangin' too! The staff were so friendly and attentive. I'd hire TrailBreak again for sure.
Very disappointed in the pizza and over priced. We had a hard time telling the difference in the pizzas because the toppings were so tiny. I had gluten free white pizza and it had no flavor/no garlic and the mushrooms again tiny pieces and few. 20$ All pizzas were super thin. Won’t go again. The staff were nice and order was timely. Seems like Covid has price up quality down everywhere.
Very aware of dietary sensitivities with a lot of gluten free and vegetarian options! Even a dedicated gluten-free fryer for french fries. Lots of tasty options for your non GF spouse, too! Friendly responsive service. Pleasant atmosphere and outside seating. Very Nice!
Celiac friendly
