The kids are hungry, nobody wants to wait an hour, and ski lodge food gets old fast. Here are the restaurants our guests keep going back to around Stratton.
Honeypie
Jamaica, Route 30. Counter service.
Right on the road between Stratton Ski Haus and the mountain. Burgers ground daily, served on Martin’s potato buns with their house sauce and pickled red onions. Hand-cut fries. Milkshakes that are worth it after a day of skiing.
Counter service, so there’s no wait. Order, eat, leave. You’ll come back before the week is over. Everyone does.
Grizzly’s at Stratton
Base of Stratton Mountain. Full service.
You can ski right to the door. Classic mountain lodge atmosphere. The menu covers enough ground that kids can get chicken fingers while parents eat something more substantial. Vermont craft beers on tap. Live music on weekends.
Get there by 4 PM on weekends if you want a table without waiting.
Ungrounded Coffee Roasters
Route 30, across from Honeypie. Counter service.
Right on your route to the mountain. They roast their own beans in small batches. Maple lattes, pastries, light bites. Good for the kid who “isn’t hungry” at 7 AM but is starving by 7:15.
Grab an extra cup for the road.
The Landgrove Inn
Landgrove. Dinner Thursday through Saturday, 5:30 to 7:30 PM. Reservations.
This is the “nice dinner” spot. Set in an 1810 farmhouse with an intimate dining room. Local ingredients, regional cooking, real care with the food. Families are welcome. The kids will feel fancy. Reserve ahead.
There’s also an art studio on site, if anyone in your group is into that.
Thai Basil
Main Street, Manchester Center. About 25 minutes from Stratton.
Pad thai that’s consistently good. Curries with real depth. Spring rolls that disappear in 30 seconds. Portions are generous enough that you’ll have leftovers for lunch the next day. Good option when someone wants noodles and someone else wants something with a kick.
Gringo Jack’s
Main Street, Manchester Center.
Tacos, burritos, nachos. Southwestern comfort food. Kids can build their own plates. Outdoor seating when the weather cooperates. After a few days of lodge food, loaded nachos here feel like a reset.
Cook In
The Haus has a full kitchen with All-Clad cookware, a French press, and a spice collection. On quieter nights, cooking in and saving the restaurant budget for when it counts is a good move. The West River Farmers Market in Londonderry (Saturdays, May through October) is the place to stock up on local produce and cheese.
