We had dinner here on a Saturday night with friends who live in Shelburne. We arrived early- had drinks in the cozy (but not cramped) bar. It was busy, but the bartender was friendly and well-informed. They had a great selection of local beer on tap. Our table was roomy, atmosphere fun and welcoming and the food was crazy good!... More

Delicious choice selection of main courses...veggies were just a little on the small side portion-wise compared to great big meat but we all joined the clean plate club. Sorbets alone were worth the visit -rare flavors! More

We arrived late while traveling. They had just started offering their pub menu for the night. Despite only having eight (8) choices, we had everything from a veggie burger to steak tips at the table shortly after sitting down. The tap choices included craft beer, another big thumbs-up. On the bright side, the veggie burger came on a ciabatta roll... More

We were a party of five out for dinner on a Sunday evening. We haven't seen each other for a long time and we had a leisurely, unhurried meal at a comodiously large, beautifully set, and comfortable table. The wait person was very sensitive to our on-going conversation and handled herself very professionally. The food was tasty, quite creative and... More

we were very happy with the evening experience. No reservation 8pm Saturday night, and we waited 10 minutes for a table. Service and food were great. More

What can I say? I've been here probably five times and I have never had what I would consider a "superior" meal, even though I wish I could say differently. The chef/owner's other restaurant ("The Black Sheep" in Vergennes, VT) is considerably less expensive, has great local atmosphere, is a bit quirky, and is always delicious. At the "Bearded Frog,"...

My wife and two adult children took my wife here for her birthday. Though we have lived in the area several years and dine out reasonably often (the Burlington, VT area has the most restaurants per capita in the USA), this was our first visit to The Bearded Frog. We had heard many good things about the BF, including from... More

The Bearded Frog would seem to have become something of a local go-to; even on a random Wednesday in mid-August, the place was packed enough that we, not having reserved, had to sit at the bar for a few minutes before heading to the table. Not that I mind -- the excellent local beer selection made even that time well-spent.... More

A delightful evening. Server Ashley was professional, friendly and prompt. She was perfect! The food was delicious! Perfectly cooked - wonderful menu with enough diversity to satisfy our party! Everything was delicious. More

While we enjoy the burgers we have tried the lamb on several occasions and it is always undercooked and fatty. Service is at times non existant and most items are over priced. Go to Cafe Shelburne instead. More
