"Doc Ponds definitely exceeded our expectations. The winter spritz mocktail was so good and one of the best cocktails I have ever had. The burger, fries, and soba noodles were all very good. We loved the cozy atmosphere and our server was great. We will definitely be back on our next Stowe trip!"

"We really enjoyed the creative menu options, high quality dishes, excellent service, and cozy but classy atmosphere. We had a mushroom medley to start, served cold, and they were pleasantly packed with marinated flavor. For our mains, we had a half chicken and bolognese. The chicken was cooked perfectly and topped with a tasty chimichurri, along with delicious hand cut fries. It was a good sized bird with a seasoned, crispy skin, and the portion gave us a whole 'nother meal for the next day! The bolognese delivered on taste as well. We would be happy to come back and try more of the rotating menu offerings another time."

"Came to Vermont to catch the changing of color. Stopped by here for early dinner. There was a 20 mins wait for outdoor seating even at 5:00p so this must be a popular place. The chip and onion dip was delicious. The buffalo wings were moist and crispy. I had the half chicken with broccoli slaw. Chicken was a bit overcooked but tasted delicious. The broccoli was cooked perfectly and topped with pickled onions. Also, try the Irish Nitro Stout with it smooth foam. Great meal overall."

"The food here was amazing! Got the Duck Confit Melt and the quality of meat was good as it was like a pulled pork but with duck on a bread with cheese as you would expect with a melt. Only thing that threw me off was the raisins though it doesn’t ruin the dish. The mac and cheese with crumbs on top was amazing as they use freshly grated cheese. The environment was nice, though I had two screaming kids in my ear which I can’t do anything about but crop dust them from thar Mac n cheese! Only downside was we tried to go at lunch and said they open at 4pm on Fridays. Highkey recommend."

"Cool place spinning vinyl and serving up some good food. Friendliest staff that were attentive, but not hovering. Started with the chips and dip. Crunchy homemade chips with lots of great BBQ flavor seasoning. Cool onion dip. Just like in your backyard. Would like a little more dip to chip ratio, but I'm just being greedy! Mac and cheese was brilliantly gooey with a little breadcrumb crunch. The duck sandwich was crazy delicious. The bread was buttery and crispy. Duck was amazingly tender and the blueberry chutney balanced everything beautifully. The banh mi was a great take on a classic sandwich. The meatballs were tender, juicy and spiced perfectly. The fresh pickled veggies add a crunch and the cilantro ties it all together. Flavor explosion. The bread was also the right choice for this sandwich. Peanut butter pie. Enough said. Beer and cider selection was great! Not the prettiest of presentations, but the taste more than makes up for it. Go! 100% would go back."
