Stopped in for dinner and it hit the spot. The fish tacos and coburn burger were delicious. The burger had a great combo of spicy sauce and sweet caramelized onions. One of the best meals we had on rollout trip to Vermont!

Great food, great atmosphere and service! Prices are decent as well! The only other option in Woodstock for sit down restaurant experience is “worthy” kitchen. Which was awful but ironically has a higher rating. If you are trying to decide between the two I PROMISE you Coburns is the way to go!

After shredding piles of gnar at the Sassy 6 ski area up the road, be sure to stop by here for apres shred activities. Thoughtfully prepared cuisine and excellent cocktails. Fantastic service all around. The trail maps on the walls are radical to the max and enhanced the experience.

Great central location. The host and server were very friendly, and the service was good. We had the shrimp tacos and quesadilla. Both were really good.

First time, menu offered did not have all options per photos on google search. Tried the apple cider Bellini which was very nice. Had Caesar salad which is not what you expect but filling. Red onion pieces took away from the salad. The wings ordered in BBQ and they were crispy on outside, juicy and tender inside. 8 pieces. The macaroni and cheese meal could feed four people. Creamy and delicious. The bartender working the drinks in another part of restaurant had to work the dining area which made service suffer but on the whole the food made up for it.

This is the Apple Spice-Tini. It’s is literally the best drink I ever had. I’ve never written a review before until now. This drink has compelled me to do so. It’s like sipping liquid autumn! It’s got just the right amount of sweetness and flavor. It’s amazing!!!!! 5 stars all the way! (Can’t review the food because it hasn’t come yet. ) Hope it’s as good as this martini!

Great first time experience while visiting Woodstock, VT. We were seated right away as we walked in. Got a great view of the shops and falling leaves in outside. Our server, Ali was very attentive & friendly. They had a large party upstairs & our food was delayed ( which didn't bother us, we were enjoying the ambiance) Our server came over with a big beautiful salad on the house and apologized for the delay. What a nice gesture. The food arrived 5 min later , hot and so delicious! We will definitely be back! From Texas

This place is exactly what you’d expect and want from a local restaurant with no frills. Friendly service, dependable food and a sneaky good drink menu, including the non-alcoholic drinks. My wife and I came here for lunch. She had the Coburns burger and the Athletic Brewing Free wave non-alcoholic beer (at McKenna’s suggestion). The beer was deceptively good and the burger hit the spot. I had a salad, good portion, solid flavor. If you’re looking for an easy to enjoy, relaxed atmosphere without being pretentious, this is the place in Woodstock.
