Sugar Loaf Taphouse

Spent the morning at Woodbury Commons buying some new clothing and wanted to go for a tasty, healthy meal (so I could fit into the clothes I just bought). Met a friend who lives in the area at the Sugar Loaf Taphouse. Besides it being in a really cute little town, walking distance from a few other shops, the place was perfect for lunch. There were a lot of great options, including gluten free choices, and the portions were large. I had a grilled chicken salad and my friend had a turkey burger with a side of veggies. The food was fresh and delicious and the staff were warm and friendly. There were plenty of choices for seating and you didn’t feel like you were right on top of other patrons. It was a casual place to catch up with a friend and the prices were also extremely reasonable. Next time I am back up for shopping, I know the place to go!

We had such a great time. our waiter was awesome. The food and drink were very good. Definitely need to stop by and see for yourself. And the two is a bonus visit.

Before i start been here before prepandemic, loved their shepard's pie, which am glad to see that they still have. This is a taphouse, so they have lots of local beers, and a beer from vermont actually too!
Went here on Thursday March 21 2024 to grab a bite to eat before seeing a show at The Sugar Loaf Performing Arts Center which is nearby. Before we left our house,we did call the restaurant to see if there was a wait, they said there wasn't one, however, by the time we got there, they asked us to wait 20-25 minutes. We went to the bar and was able to eat there. Bartender was very nice, as we all started with waters and titos with sprite. We started with the Irish Nachos special, which were interesting as they had corned beef in their nachos. they were not bad and different. For our entrees, my dad ordered a cheeseburger cooked m, i ordered a veggie burger, and i forget what my mom order. Entrees were very good and enjoyable. i enjoyed my veggie burger! only feedback i would provide is that the server/bartender should have made sure i wanted fries with that, because i saw sweet potato fries, and may have wanted that instead. Other than that we had great service at the bar, and enjoyed our food. We also ordered dessert, a brownie with chocolate ice cream on top! That was tasty! paid our bill with a credit card, and left a cash tip. Also used the restrooms this visit, and the front restroom was not flushing, but they had a bathroom upstairs which was very clean, and all was working. Hope to be back another time!

Our first time dinner experience was outstanding! A gem! Rustic elegance. Rustic because of the decor. Elegance because everything we ate was presented in a manner akin to very high end restaurants. Our server, Cynthia, other servers who attended our table, as well as the sweet/smiling bus boys did an excellent job in making us feel at home. Kudos to the owner(s), chef(s), management, and staff. We will definitely visit again!

Stopped in Sugar Loaf tap house while in town visiting drowned lands brewery. We were immediately welcomed like long lost family & had one of the best steaks we’ve had in years. Paige & Jen and the rest of the gang we didn’t get the names of are amazing people running a gem of a place. They helped us with recommendations for a place to stay & other fun to be had nearby. Even our fellow patrons were exceptional, shout out to Scott. Cannot recommend this place more highly. Even though it’s 2 1/2 hours away from us-WE WILL RETURN SOON.

This was my first visit. Parking is plentiful (on a Tuesday). I imagine that weekends would be a bit more congested as Sugar Loaf cranks up the weekend Artisan exhibits and stores. Either way and whatever day you are passing through, check out the Taphouse. Ambiance was very rustic and inviting. They have the same barnsiding on the walls as I have in my home, so it is a nice motif in my opinion. The service was timely and very professional. No mishaps were noted. The food is a blend of American food kicked up a notch. We ordered the crab cakes appetizer. They were delicious but did not have the typical lumps of crab I am accustomed to. Not a deal breaker but rather a constructive criticism. Hello Chef! Main entrees were Horshradish Crusted Wild Salmon with veggies and rice pilaf, and Fish & Chips. My wife claims it was one of the better cooked and seasoned pieces of salmon she has had (except mine, of course 😀). It was also a decent sized piece. Veggies were cooked to a very nice snap. Pilaf was very tasty but a little on the cold side. Again, not a deal breaker. The Fish & Chips was a treat. A really nice crisp to the batter and not soggy like in some places. The fish was cooked perfectly, white, lite and fluffy. The chips (aka fries) were really good. Not grease soaked and they were seasoned perfectly. If you are there during the Ocktoberfest season, try the Ocktoberfest Lager. I thought it was a pretty good compliment to the Fish & Chips. A point worth noting; cash paying patrons save 4.5% credit card fees. The menu prices are the cash prices.
It was interesting to read some of the older posts that claimed a 1 star rating. Not sure if it was the staff, chef or a combination of both on those days. It behooves the owner to verify who was on shift those days and have a heart to heart with them. Anyway, we give them a 5 star rating ths time, my first time. You never get a second chance to make a first impression. This one was great! Visit the Taphouse! I will be visiting again soon.

The bartender was the sweetest, kindest woman. I spilled honey and she wouldn't take no for answer and cleaned it up. I'm a moron, people don't know me. I say things I don't mean all the time. Talk is cheap. What it's worth....

Great establishment!! Won't be going back though ha. ❤❤❤❤

Consistently good food here. Everything I had here has been fantastic. This time was the filet mignon sliders, perfectly cooked with tasty horseradish mayo.

Food is tasty! The Seafood Risotto was a delight. The burger was not over average, the Chicken Pot Pie was delish but didnt look like pie but soupy filling with a pastry square on top. Their fig and pig flatbreat was tasty and yet i was longing for little zing on it.
Their tap selection of local beer is very good and they offer samplers.
They old barn decoration makes a great comfortable atmosphere. They have more room than it seems from the outside

Edit: 10/18
I'm upping my review to 5 stars. Tonight's food was so high quality. Try their specials!

Vast menu with creative twists, like meatloaf Wellington! Awesome variety of liquors and on tap beers are not run of the mill!

Never disappointed when I eat here. From the atmosphere, service, and taste of the food Sugar Loaf Taphouse is an establishment that makes you want to make multiple visits to experience everything they have to offer. Picked this place specifically to celebrate my anniversary and every element added to making this day a special one.

Excellent food! They have a great selection of food on the menu and the service is incredible. The place itself seems to be always clean and well put together. Can get a little busy during lunchtime but it is worth the wait, not to mention the servers are super sweet and friendly!

Love this place. Huge menu with interesting options and everything is delicious. Service is always pleasant and cool old tavern-y vibes.

I come here every time I'm in Sugar Loaf, and the food's good!

First time here and I would definitely recommend it to anyone passing through. Food was fantastic and the portions were generous. Service was great as well.

Stopped in for a little dinner and a cocktail. The food was delicious and there was a fire going in the fireplace...The service was great and so was the cocktail!! I highly recommend if you're in the area.

I’m in LOVE!! With the drunken mussels . I pretty much just come to eat that.
I have tried some other options in the menu and all is very good. I’m small I can’t eat much in one sitting so sharing the bowl of mussels is just enough. Slurp the beer broth and soak the bread in the beer broth till there’s nothing left! I’ve been bringing friends and family for them as well and they are nuts for the drunken mussels 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
Cant wait to come back for more .
I love sitting outside to eat on a beautiful day.

Wow! What a great place. Best burger I've had in a while. Definitely going back again!

Went to a 50th Birthday party- food was delicious , portion size great, even for the kids menu- to go boxes needed! Above all- Staff and service were top notch- we wanted for nothing!! Friendly, accurate and excellent service! All had a great time and enjoyed!

Just wanted to thank the wonderful staff for helping us celebrate a small wedding on 3/11/23. Couldn't ask for better waitresses. The buffet was excellent as well. Anyone planning a small gathering definitely needs to consider this restaurant.
