Fantastic experience overall. The hospitality was on par with higher end restaurants and the meals were outstanding. The portions were just right so you could easily enjoy a three course meal and not feel bad about eating too much. Great selection of drinks and great ingredients.

Delicious food, incredible cocktails and even better company! This place is a MUST VISIT if you’re in the area! My partner and I are visiting and stopped in here for one of the most incredible dinners we’ve ever had. The space is cozy and intimate, almost as if you were being served in their beautiful home. The highlight by far was the family running the restaurant. They are warm and welcoming, and clearly so passionate and knowledgeable about their community. Can’t wait to eat here again — thank you Corina, June and Elijah for your hospitality

Great place to enjoy delicious food after Killington ski or snowboarding. They have hot fresh food and drinks available. Fillet mignon is 53 and it’s amazing. Home made food and very friendly stuff. Please spend 40 minutes drive from Killington and enjoy this amazing and very tasty Vermont food place.

"Amazing Burger" at the Barnard Inn Pop-Up! I personally along with my sweet wife and confounding grandson, enjoyed an awesome surprise delight at the Barnard Inn pop-up restaurant last Sunday afternoon. Outdoors with a backup spectacular garden, in the shade on a sunny afternoon, classic beer garden atmosphere, good music, nothing else needed. Contemplating far too long the envy anticipated by watching T and Bryce devour the 8 ounce cheese burger, I got one too but ordered the briquet philly cheese to share. Beer and wine to satisfy. My wife pointed out why she has less trouble staying skinny as she showed her dainty bites compared the the little morsel I had left that I did have to put down but only once. Chef Will, who runs the always reliable and delicious Inn, schedules the Pop Up only Sunday and Monday, 2-7. Check times, the Inn is Thursday to Sunday. Put this one on your list to experience when you get a chance. Top Shelf.

Excellent dining experience at Barnard Inn! The menu was creative and exciting with plenty of variation to meet all tastes and preferences. All three of my courses were absolutely delicious and I had two cocktails that were equally tasty. The service here is next level- friendly, personable, and prompt. Our server was great about answering me and my partner’s questions and took genuine care in helping us select items we’d enjoy most. Our glasses were never empty and our server, as well as several other employees, checked in consistently to ensure that we were having an excellent experience. I wish I lived closer so I could visit over and over again! Definitely recommend treating yourself to a dinner here if you’re in the area.
