Back Country Cafe

While this was my second time as a patron, this time with my whole family, the experience started off on the wrong footing. Whatever the reason, the lady handling the hosting, order taking, and cashing out, did not even bother to come by the entrance where we and a few other parties were waiting for at least 20 minutes. I mind you, there wasn't even a "hello" or "hi there is a 20 minute wait", not to mention, no eye contact or any acknowledgement that we were there. While we waited we observed a whole section of the dinner being completely empty and not utilized. Also as she seemed to continue to take orders from the bar, there was a line of customers building up to check out. Eventually we got seated. We waited at least another 10 minutes before we could even get water or tea. A few minutes later we finally ordered and the food came out in a reasonable time. As far as the food quality goes, there wasn't anything worth bragging about. The cook did his job seemingly composed and with appropriate timelines. The two bus boys who were also handling some tea and beverage order taking and delivery seemed nice and able to probably fulfill other duties. It appeared as if they were seasonal foreign labor and that they somehow did not have permission to do so from someone running the operation. Overall, I think this place has the potential to be a 4-5 star place if the human experience/bottleneck can be resolved. I still recommend this breakfast over hotel fare if you have at least one hour to spare!

Corn beef hash is not great. I really enjoyed the short stack of peanut butter pancakes, though they're just pancakes with Reese's pieces in them lol. Though I loved the cheesesteak omelette.

Very creative breakfast menu, hard time deciding what to get. The banana bread French toast and irish poached was so fetch! Love the astetics and vibe here. The place seems to be packed all morning and they only had one server. We had to wait longer to order than we did to get our food. She was extremely friendly and took care of every table fully, plus she had a hostess and a busser.

We came here every morning of our vacation. I like everything we ordered. It was reasonably priced and the portion sizes were large. It all tasted fantastic. I can't say I had a favorite dish, but I recommend trying the pancakes, French toast, breakfast sandwich, and corn beef hash. Definitely try the maple syrup and Vermont Voodoo hot sauce! They kept our coffee mugs full and brought the food out quickly. I would recommend this place to anyone visiting Killington, VT. I can't wait to visit the area again and eat here every morning.

We came here on a Saturday & Sunday. It did take a while to get seated and for our orders to be taken but that’s because it was so busy, and rightfully so! The food was absolutely delicious and the staff is very kind and patient. We got The Beast, The special French toast with vanilla cream cheese and chocolate chips, and the home fries are the best I’ve ever had. The bacon was also delicious and crispy every time!
