I have eaten breakfast and dinner here and it's a fun place, well run with good quality food. Sometimes a few too many children running around though! More

My favorite sandwich--crab cakes plus avocado on a bun. Yum. Or, for breakfast, a selection of Huevos Rancheros and fresh doughnuts. And, yes, there is a movie theatre attached. A unique and always satisfying stop. More

What more can you ask for on a cold, snowy night? I ordered a delicious burger, drank one too many Vermont beers, and loved every minute of it. More

I visited the big picture theater for the first time in at least 10 years.. it has been under several different owners since.. its in a great spot, but the staff was not at all helpful.. after we purchased our tickets, the guy at the counter didn't tell us where to go, we luckily just walked into the right room.....

Love this place. Too bad it is too small to handle the crowds at holiday time. Also, it stinks when they do not have their roast turkey for their delicious sandwiches. More

My burger originally came out mooing (rare) so they put it back on for at least another 5-6 minutes. She was apologetic but that rarely ever happens to me (no pun intended). The man at the kiosk for the movies was not friendly at all either, he was on his phone and back and forth between the restaurant and where... More

The Pitcher Inn staff suggested we try the Cafe for lunch. What a great place! Our waiter was friendly and welcoming. The menu looked great...so many choices. The crabcake with avocado was perfect with fresh mixed greens. They are famous for their fresh hamburgers and rightly so; excellent! Everything was fresh, homemade and really tasty. More

Great food and an amazing insight into how the locals live! They ran the film just for us and we sat on the back row in red velvet booths! When we came out we thought they had all gone home and locked us in, but eventually somebody appeared from nowhere to let us out. We laughed all the way back... More

For tasty food and great atmosphere we always go to The Big Picture House for dinner when traveling in Waitsfield. Especially the burbon burger is amazing! More
