The Blue Donkey Bar

This place is highly underrated. Yes, it is bar food primarily, but our group of 6 were all extremely happy with the food. The service and staff are exceptional. They work hard to ensure a quality experience. It is small, but hopefully you will be lucky enough to get in. You won’t regret it.

My wife, our dog Winni, and I had a great experience here. We came from NH for a little getaway and wanted to stop in at a dog friendly place to eat. Both, The Vermonter turkey sandwich and Galfetti Breakfast burger were great eats. The drink weren't too strong or too light (Vermont Old Fashioned). Grace, our server was friendly and professional. I would recommend this place to all who visit Stowe, VT. Cheers

Tables for large groups are tough in Stowe, especially on the weekends. We ended up here and were pleasantly surprised at the food and quick service. We had wings and burgers, all were great, especially the breakfast burger, which was too big to finish. It certainly isn’t as fancy as some of the other places in town but that’s not what they are trying to be. Great, affordable spot, which is becoming rare in Stowe.

Had the fish and chips and they were good. Also the wrap was good. The view from the back deck is an excellent place to have lunch. Reasonably priced.

Walked in. Didn’t get seen for a few minutes and got told to sit where ever and they would bring menus. Waitress brought menus after around 5 minutes. Bartender sitting at the bar didn’t even acknowledge our existence. Waitress put in our order after about 10 minutes of being there. No big deal. Proceeded to get through an entire half of a football game (an hour) and not get food. I told waitress we were leaving and she was surprised that it had been an hour already. Extremely unprofessional and understaffed. Terrible experience.

They are such a cool group of folks working the bar and restaurant. Just lovely to be around and the food that I have had is actually quite good especially for the price point of what they offer. I highly recommend visiting them especially if you're social and enjoy great people to be around! 🙂

An easy going pub with delicious burgers, sandwiches and quesadillas. Don't expect fancy flair here but it was clean and comfortable. A very chill spot to hangout after a long day. A good music mix was playing. The bartender (with a nice beard) was friendly and made us feel at home. We were well taken care of in terms of professional and courteous service. The burgers were great tasting and well prepared (keep this cook employed here!). Everyone in our party thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We will be going back next time we travel near Stowe.

Fine roadside fare that’s satisfying and fairly priced. Family friendly as many of the seats and tables are outside in a picnic like atmosphere. You go inside to order and then pick a seat outside- there area a few tables inside as well. If I’m ever in the Stowe area I wouldn’t hesitate to stop by for a bite again. They have a food truck that I’d bet is every bit as satisfying as their restaurant. They also have a decent selection of drinks- both beer and non alcoholic beverages.
