Black Flannel Brewing Reviews
Had a lovely snowy night at Black Flannel. We had smash burgers and fries, chicken and waffles, and a couple salads. Food was very good, atmosphere lovely, and great staff. Tasty beer and whiskey as well. Will return for sure.
We had skipped lunch and arrived to black flannel around 4pm as they were just opening. We were seated very quickly and were able to place drink orders asap! The appetizers were a little small, but good. The Bavarian pretzels are enough to share with 2 people. The decorations are modern and cozy. The artwork on the bathroom doors is impressive! I wish it was featured more throughout the restaurant.
Wow! Great service, fast and friendly. Smallish menu but executed well. The smash and black bean burgers were delicious. Pickled veggies over mixed greens and French fries were perfection. Caution about the spicy chips as they were too hot for most of out party and are quite strong jalapeño. We had a wee one in our party of 14 and the kids service was great and all our meals landed in the table together as well. Great place for family and friends.
Solid Beer and Good Food for a great price point. Stopped by here with my family for our first meal after arriving in the area for the week/ weekend. We went on a Wednesday night and the place was absolutely popping. Very glad we made an impromptu reservation before arriving. When we arrived (a little before our reservation) we were seated fairly quickly. Once we got to our table our drink orders and food were taken shortly afterwards. There is also a back yard/ outdoor area where there is extra seating and where they hold events. For drinks, we tried a few different things. I had an 8oz of the Imagine Zero and an 8oz of the 12 Hour Sour, my dad got a 16 oz of Rito's Lament, and my Brother had an 8oz beer and two tasters. For the price point, this beer felt like a steal. $ 4.50 for an 8oz beer sounds crazy, especially compared to beer prices in Boston and San Francisco (cities I am more familiar with). The quality of the beer is pretty standard - nothing awful but nothing to write home about. For food, we got a few things. To start we got an order of wings and fried pickle spears. For main meals I got a double patty smash burger, my mom got a single patty smash burger, my dad got the chicken Caesar salad, and my brother got the fish and chips. The apps were both really good - the wings were served whole ( drum and flat connected) and were cooked perfectly. The house buffalo sauce was nice and paired nicely with the ranch. The fried pickle spears were perfection - the beer batter was shatteringly crispy. This was definitely a highlight for me. My burger was also really really good - I felt it could've been smashed a smidge more but that's just me being nitpicky. The house fries that were served along with them were also done just right. All in all, my experience at Black Flannel was great. I'd definitely recommend giving this place a visit if you find yourself in the area. 4/5
I've been coming here since they opened and consistently have a stellar experience. We sat at the bar and both had salmon. The sauce, the presentation, the service: everything was awesome. Not to mention, they have ample parking - which is an extra special treat in Vermont. I'm a lover of sour beer, so the fruit flavored red sour (can't remember the name) is a real treat.
