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...
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!
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.
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 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!
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!
Superior customer service; quaint space and the best breakfast food in Stowe. Several gluten free options-I had a crustless quiche that was the best I have had in a bakery and cafe. You will love this!
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!
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.
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!
Overall great experience! We were seated quickly on a Saturday night, fast and friendly service and all our food was absolutely delicious! There was even lots of gluten free options and a sign that said no msg used in any of their dishes. Would highly recommend!
Gluten free eggs benedict was a pleasant surprise but somehow only got 1 poached egg instead of 2, and probably paid more for it (GF bread not marked on the menu).
UPDATE: When alerted to the issue, they were very responsive and refunded me for the missing egg. Recommend checking them out!
We sat by the bar and were served by Brian. Drinks were made to perfection, the brussel sprouts and wings were incredible.
Brian went above and beyond to accommodate for my gluten free wife. Overall exceptional experience, will be coming back next time we’re near Spruce Peak
Pretty nice menu with interesting things. Server was lovely and was really helpful about gluten allergy. Food was good. Pretty busy with a lot of tables of kids when we visited, so definitely loud but overall enjoyable.
Burger was awesome! Gluten-free bun was delicious and did not fall apart like they usually do. I scarfed it down before I could even get a photo.
Vibes were excellent and loved the decor.
We had their Masamman Curry and Drunken Noodles. My girlfriend who wasn't a big fan of thai food until that point definitely came out being open to try more of it. Excellent food. Not to mention we asked our food to be vegan and Gluten free, and our requests were honoured very well. Thank you, would love to visit again.
Easily the best restaurant we have ever been to. This culinarily experience is pure magic. The road to get to the restaurant, walking in the front door, the common area where you can enjoy a drink and games around the fire until your table is ready…..then you sit to eat…..and it gets even better. The food is full of a flavors exploding and combing in your mouth. The staff are all so amazing, they truly make you feel at home. The atmosphere is unmatched, there is an upstairs and downstairs, and I can’t even pick a favorite! Upstairs is a whimsical experience and downstairs is a warm, roaring fire, tavern! We have tried both and I love them both! When we come to Stowe, this is the one place we always so back to! To the Edson Hill staff, you guys knock it out of the park, every single time! I have never had staff, actually take as much time answering our questions, giving us recommendations when we asked, and making us feel completely at home as you did last night. Also they were beyond accommodating with food allergies and have a separate fryer for gluten free. Edson Hill you are our favorite ❤️
Bagels were solid, but not the best I’ve ever had. I liked the cinnamon sugar bagels, brought me back to old school Panera before they sucked. They did have gluten free bagels and were careful with allergies for my friend.
Always a must visit everytime we stop in Stowe. They've always had some of the juiciest burgers, but they've only gotten better in the last year. Larger options, including turkey, salmon, and black bean burgers, as well as lettuce wraps and gluten free buns. All while staying true to that juicy deliciousness.
My husband and I have been striving to find the right fried chicken that is gluten-free. A friend of ours told us how incredible the family style gluten-free fried chicken was from Cork and we just tried it for our first time.
We have tried multiple restaurants in town that offer their version of fried chicken, but this Tops them all!
We both were craving it again and had been so thrilled with the crunch and flavor!
The four star review is because they have removed this from the menu, so disappointing
This lovely restaurant and shop were directly across the street from where we were staying. The mother and daughter team were exceptionally friendly and welcoming. We absolutely loved the indoor fire circle.
I had a latte with oatmilk and it was delicious! They also offer gluten free bread, so that their sandwiches can be served gluten free. Great find and fantastically warm atmosphere.
Celiac friendly
