Fireworks
Fireworks has the best gourmet pizza in Brattleboro. The bar is a nice place to hang out too. Everything about this place is great.
Elliott Street Cafe
Great Mexican inspired breakfast and lunch. Very basic set up, very good food. Lots of vegetarian options. They cook all their dishes from scratch, with the highest quality / local ingredients they can find, and lots of love! They are committed to supporting local, sustainable food systems, and a strong local economy. They also have ping pong and host performances.
Kipling's Restaurant & Pub
Kipling's is a homely little restaurant with a few booths and a bar where you can get a decent burger or the standard pub fare.
Flat Street Brew Pub
The dining room is adjacent to the Tap Room, both of which are downstairs from the bar. The Tap Room has a great selection of beers. The food is good but not outstanding.
The Chelsea Royal Diner
A vintage 1938 Worcester diner. Decor and food speak of times gone by with Daily Blue Plate Specials, generous portions and extremely friendly pricing. The cuisine is probably best described as "high-end home style". Authentic Mexican fare served Tuesday through Saturday evenings, prime rib Friday and Saturday nights, real mashed potatoes, homemade soups, breads, pies and desserts. Breakfast is served all day and they are a feast, with homemade pancakes and Belgian waffles, eggs Benedict, and the Diners' specialty "Cajun Breakfast Skillet" make for some tough choices. The menu also offers an array of sandwiches, pizza, and a kids menu. Take-out is available for every item. April through October is the season for the Royal Soft Serve Stand, featuring Columbo Nonfat Frozen Yogurt, 10 flavors of Soft-Serve daily, and the Royal's Homemade "Royal Madness" Ice Cream. There's lots of classic eats too, such as footlong hotsogs with fries, and double cheese burgers.
Amy's Bakery Arts Cafe
Amy's has great food and baked goods, plus they have the standard coffee shop items. The area in the back is a nice place to sit and over look the river. Overall, a great place and one of the most popular lunch spots in Brattleboro.
Top of the Hill Grill
Top of the Hill Grill serves hickory smoked beef brisket, pulled pork and ribs, smoked turkey, grilled chicken and fresh ground burgers. Also, homemade sides â always from scratch and always fresh â include coleslaw, corn bread, baked beans, roasted potatoes and root vegetables, pasta and potato salad. Great BBQ.
Adagio Trattoria
Adagio's is the best Italian restaurant in Brattleboro. The bar is nice too. The food is good.
T. J. Buckley's
By far the fanciest and most elegant dining in Brattleboro. The restaurant is housed in an old diner. The location is a little off the beaten track, but only by a block or two.
Brattleboro Food Coop
Healthy foods at reasonable prices, in a relaxed and friendly environment. Staff is knowledgeable and eager to help shoppers in any way that they can.
Three Stones (Mexican/Mayan Cantina)
Maybe the best restaurant, or at least the most interesting restaurant, in Brattleboro. All the food is fantastic and the atmosphere is great. They have a good selection of Mexican cervezas and wines to accompany the amazing food. All the food is authentic Mayan/Mexican food and they use a lot of local and organic ingredients.
Blue Moose Store & Café
The cafe has the standard assortment of coffee, espresso, and tea, plus a decent selection of gourmet sodas and juices. The baked goods are quite good. The food is great with lots of vegetarian options and is moderately priced. The area is well lit and a good place to read, surf online, or study. The only down side is that they play cheese-ball music. It does not get in the way of conversations or interrupt studying. Cell phone conversations are not encouraged inside the store or cafe, which is nice. Just to reiterate, the music is awful. But it actually helps you do work because you have to block the music out by focusing on what you are doing. The cafe has free wifi with purchase.
