“ I have to say that this is my preferred choice when eating in Waterbury. There is a good diversity in the menu. I enjoy the Mac and cheese. Service is somewhat slow but it could be the time of day I go. It's a great spot for families, friends, or a fun date night. ”

“ Meatloaf and salmon small portion of protein and sides. Drink ordered house vodka gave Titos. Taste and service good. Drafty window. ”

“ Great food and atmosphere when I was up snowboarding at Sugarbush Resort. I got the special for dinner the night I ate there which was Pork loin and it was delicious! Bartender Clara had great customer service and even gave me tips for my novice pool game. ”

“ Our group of 6 adults have eaten at the Reservoir several times. The food is delicious and is reasonably priced. The waitstaff are helpful, attentive and funny. We have thoroughly enjoyed every dining experience at The Reservoir. ”

“ I have a feeling your food choices matter in determining your experience here. I will say, their flavors are wild. Lots of fusions, a lit time for the stoned. The soup came out cold at first. They kindly reheated that and got it back. Tasted good. The flavors were great for all the food. Throughly enjoyed this. ”

“ This was probably my favorite meal during our 10 day road trip around the area. It was super busy but that didn't prevent us from receiving good service. They drinks were good and the beer menu had tons of great local options. We started with the pulled pork poutine. I am a huge poutine fan and this one was amazing! It was way larger than expected and I totally didn't need to order an entree but I already did so I still had some of that too. I had the mac and cheese with buffalo chicken. It was also amazing! My husband enjoyed his salmon as well. ”

“ Food: 3.5/5 | Service: 4/5 | Experience: 4/5 My party of 5 came in to put our names down. We only had to wait 10 minutes before getting a call. I ordered the hot honey smash burger with a salad instead of fries. The burger was a bit overcooked, and the hot honey flavor was not coming through. However, the concept of the burger sounded really good, so kudos there. The side salad was missing a bit more dressing. ”

“ Service here was super friendly. We came in for a late lunch/early dinner. The poutine and fries were perfection! Great crisp! The Philly cheesesteak was pretty good. Mussels were good and not what I was expecting. Loved dipping all the extra fries in the mussel sauce! A nice place to eat during our visit to Waterbury/Stowe. ”

“ The Reservoir is a craft beer bar and restaurant that opened in Waterbury, Vermont in April 2009. It was founded by restaurateur Mark Frier. Originally hailing from Chicago, Frier moved to Waterbury in 2006 to work as an engineer at Burton Snowboards in Burlington. He soon became a regular at The Alchemist, which was a small brewpub in Waterbury at that time. After noticing the new trends in the craft beer scene, he came up with the idea to open a restaurant which carried offerings from several breweries on draught. He left his job at Burton Snowboards in late 2008 and opened The Reservoir in the former Waterbury Wings building. The restaurant boasts 40 tap lines (plus cans and bottles) as well as a wide array of tasty entrees and appetizers. In 2010, Chad Fry came on board as an additional partner. He had previously been the manager at Rí Rá Irish Pub in Burlington and brings years of restaurant management expertise to the table. The partners also later opened Tres Amigos (which has since closed) and The Bench in Stowe. In 2012, Frier and Fry opened their own nano brewery operation dubbed "Big Tree Brewing". The beer is brewed at The Reservoir and can be found on draught and in cans there as well as The Bench. I recently visited The Reservoir while I was on a Vermont craft beer road trip. I was actually spending the night at the historic Old Stagecoach Inn and The Reservoir (and many other popular craft beer establishments) is just a 3-minute walk from the inn. I arrived in the early evening and pulled up a seat at the bar. They had a very impressive draught list with offerings from Hill Farmstead, Fiddlehead, Lawson's Finest Liquids, Zero Gravity, Switchback, and more! I settled on a draught pour of "Mas Verde" (City & Chinook IPA) by White River Junction-based River Roost Brewery. It was very sweet and refreshing! I knew that I would be visiting other establishments on this evening, so I decided to order a small food plate. After looking over the food menu, I decided to order the "Vermont Mac & Cheese" (toasted breadcrumbs, bacon). It was so cheesy and delicious! The Reservoir wasn't too crowded, good atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff, good food and a very impressive beer list. I give them my seal of approval! ”

“ One of the best meals we had while visiting VT was at the Reservoir. OMG!! The poutine appetizer was absolutely unbelievable. It was cheesy and bacony goodness. We wanted to kick the plate at the end. My smash burger was one of the best burgers that I've ever had. Loved it so much! It was so juicy and delicious. The salad was a good side dish. My husband opted for a plain chicken sandwich instead of the hot chicken. Hot chicken would have had more flavor. My cousin loved his cheesesteak. He said it was one of the best cheesesteaks that he's ever had. It was super juicy and delectable. My other cousin loved her mahi mahi sandwich. She wanted something different and loved it. Our waiter was very attentive, very personable and gave great food recommendations. He deserves a raise. The Reservoir is a must visit when in Waterbury. Everyone loved the food and the service. Wish it was closer. I'd be there all the time. We'll be dreaming about it until our next trip. ”
