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 am not exaggerating when I say the citrus poppy seed muffin I had today brought tears to my eyes. West Meadow Farm Bakery has, hands down, the best gluten free baked goods I have ever had. The absolute best part? Their loaves of bread are actually sandwich sized!!!!! I cannot wait to make French toast with the oatmeal bread, and a grilled cheese with the white bread. Many dairy free options as well!
Gluten free baking is expensive. There’s no getting around it. There are so many ingredients and components involved. This place is 100% worth the cost. I’m already spending $8 a loaf at the grocery store. I would rather pay $10 for a better quality product and support a small business. And the bread isn’t pre-sliced so I can cut it to my liking!!! I can’t wait to go back!
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.
I have had the pleasure of visiting Healthy Living Market & Cafe multiple times, and each visit has left a lasting impression. The food is consistently fresh and delicious, offering a wide range of healthy options from salads and wraps to hearty bowls and sandwiches. Their menu caters to various dietary preferences, with plenty of vegan, gluten-free, and organic choices. One standout is their smoothie bar, where you can customize your drink with an assortment of fresh fruits, veggies, and add-ins.
The service is always friendly and efficient. The staff are knowledgeable about the menu and quick to offer suggestions if you're unsure about what to order. I have never had to wait long, and they take care to ensure the food is prepared just the way you want it.
The ambiance is another highlight. The cafe has a warm and inviting atmosphere, with plenty of natural light streaming in from large windows. It's a great place to relax and enjoy a meal, whether you're dining solo, with friends, or even for a casual business meeting. The market side of the store is well-organized and stocked with high-quality products, from local produce to natural health supplements, making it a great one-stop shop for health-conscious consumers.
Whether you're grabbing a quick bite or spending time there to enjoy the ambiance, Healthy Living Market & Cafe is a must-visit for anyone in the area looking for healthy, flavorful food with excellent service.
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.

Stopped here on the drive from Stowe and got to take the tour! Really interesting to see how ice cream is made and they have dairy and gluten free options for those with sensitive tummies!
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!
The vermont veggie with salmon and no tomato on a toasted gluten free bun (important, don't skip the toasted gf bun) might be the greatest sandwich of all time.
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.
Stopped in out of curiosity and had a flight sampling of their beer. I was very happy with my selection and enjoyed my first gluten free beer experience. Red Leaf is definitely worth a visit, some tasty IPAs, but my favorite was their stout beer.
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!
Very friendly staff in a beautiful rustic wood atmosphere. They are very careful with their gluten-free options! The gluten-free pancakes are the best I’ve ever had!!
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!
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!
Found this vegan, gluten-free, sunbutter instead of peanut butter bagel bakery at the last minute and was overjoyed! Then learned they were having supply chain issues with their gluten-free bagels and were out of the maple sunbutter. Four stars for how amazingly kind they were - they called out after us when we left to give us a free gf+vegan pastry - not a savory breakfast but so yummy and so kind. <3
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!
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.
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.
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!!
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!
Celiac friendly
