What People Are Saying
from Google"One of the more solid dining options in town (but that’s not saying much). I’ve gone on a number of occasions. This review is a summation of three visits. They have an excellent tap list which leans heavily on offerings from Hill Farmstead Brewery. The beer prices tend to be on the high side. The food is ok. It’s basic pub fare, but again, it’s on the pricey side. I recently had a fried fish sandwich for $15 that only came with a limp dill pickle wedge (no fries). To me, this is kind of chintzy. The sandwich was good quality, however the fish coating had zero flavor. A little seasoning would have improved it. We also had the Crispy Local Mushrooms with pakora batter. Meh. Not worth the $15 bucks. Pile of flavorless nonsense. The only good thing on the plate was the pickled vegetables. The mushrooms were soggy and flavorless. This dish was a real disappointment. Orange Cake was nice. I think it’s made with cornmeal. It may have been a special. Not sure. Service at the bar and in the dining area has always been efficient and pleasant. There’s no place to hang coats. Why?"
"I came in for what I was hoping would be a quick bite, but it took around an hour for my grilled cheese and soup to be brought out to me, which was kinda absurd. It wasn't even that good, the sandwich was rather small, the cheese wasnt very melted. The soup was decent enough. Granted, I did come in at a weird time (around 3pm) but still. The only nice part was that the server comped me a drink to make up for it, so they treat their patrons well. But it was a frustrating experience overall"
"We stopped in for a pint so my DH could do some work. We picked out two local beers, and sat outside on their “patio.” Beers were tasty and service was great. The location right downtown in Montpelier was great. Very walkable and beautiful."
"This was the second time we had lunch here and it exceeded my expectations again. The food was absolutely amazing! My mouth starts watering just thinking about that delicious sandwich I had. And the tater tots were the best ones I’ve ever had. I think it’s absolutely amazing what a wide variety of beers they have and also how they have different food specials. This time I had some sort of steak sandwich. Best sandwich ever! Last time I had the grilled tuna sandwich and that was also on point. I absolutely love this place!"
"Had a great experience at Three Penny. Medium-size spot with bar on one side and dining room on the other. Food was delicious, fresh ingredients and cooked exactly right. We had the Crispy Oyster Mushrooms (pickled veggies that came with this were incredible), Creamy Tomato & Garlic Soup (great for dipping mushrooms in), Farmer's Salad, and Nice Tuna Salad. Everything was perfect and would highly recommend. Also, tap list is very well done with lots of VT options. Had a Hill Farmstead stout that went with meal perfectly. Go here if in Montpelier!"
