Such a cozy spot with really good food! The burgers were a 10/10 & their hot brownie sundae for dessert was the best I ever had.
Love the service here at the bike shop. They've taken great care of us, by overhauling my old MTB, and making sure that my wife and I are happy with our new bikes, that we just purchased from them. The shop crew here is great, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a new bike, or service for their trusty old ride. The restaurant is equally impressive. The food is delicious, the beers are plentiful and cold, all served up by a friendly attentive staff. Stop in, go for a ride on the Cady Hill trail system out back, and then visit the shop and the restaurant afterward to refuel and grab some fresh gear.
Great vibes, loved the energy. Food was so good we ate there twice in 1 day. Once for lunch and then went back for dessert later. Highly recommend the gluten free peanut butter pie! The gluten free wrap was the biggest I’ve ever seen and the buffalo cauliflower bites are a must try.
We were so fortunate to stumble on this restaurant / bike shop! Firstly, the staff is incredible. They provided us with complementary snowshoes and have amazing trails right in their “backyard”. We were in Stowe to ski but high winds closed the lifts. The snowshoeing was a great work out and the trails beautiful. We felt we should support the restaurant as they were so kind and ended up having 2 more meals there! The nachos are fantastic, Cobb salad amazing! And a great beer list. We are not bikers but clearly this is a must visit if you are! Thanks for adding to our great holiday!
Visited Sept 24 - got takeout first night and sat in the second night. Food is delicious, absolutely worth a visit. A little pricey but worth it. Also good gluten free / coeliac options such as tacos, nachos and burritos, there's plenty of choices.
Ranch Camp is easily one of my new favorite restaurants in all of Vermont! This place is so good!! We visited here for the first time for lunch and WOW, the atmosphere was awesome, food was exceptional, and prices were super reasonable!! The whole place is bike-themed, and there are tons of cool paintings and other artwork with mountain bikes! The have a bike shop attached to the restaurant - you can rent mountain bikes here! There is indoor and outdoor seating, and even a chair lift you can sit on outside!! Almost EVERY food item can be made gluten-free (probably the best gluten-free options anywhere in Vermont) so we got the Shredded Beef Crunchwrap and the Percyrrito Burrito, with the Fried ‘Chokes as our appetizer! So freaking good! The fried artichokes were BY FAR the best I’ve ever had - didn’t even taste like artichokes! I’m never someone to willingly order a vegetable dish like this, and I am literally craving it right now. They had this tempura batter with it and such an amazing sauce. Definitely going to get that appetizer every time. The Percyrrito Burrito was the BEST burrito I have ever had!! Such good flavorful braised pork, apple, guacamole, rice, pico de gallo, VT cheddar and maple roja sauce?! Are you kidding me?! So good!! Definitely try this!!! And if they have the crunchwrap (it was a special, so might not be there every day) you NEED to try it. It takes the Taco Bell crunchwrap to a whole new level. One of the best Mexican-style foods I’ve had in a long time. It literally had crunchy cheese on the outside!!! That’s what a crunchwrap is supposed to be - they hit the nail on the head with that one! We are going to return very soon because this is a hidden gem in Stowe!!! EDIT: We just recently returned and had another amazing meal. We are so, so happy with this place. Ranch Camp is easily one of the best restaurants in Stowe, and this whole part of Vermont! EDIT #2: Continually impressed by this place - we have gone a billion times by this point. One of our new favorite items is the buffalo cauliflower! I love this place so much!!
My husband and I ate here for lunch after a morning ride. Great atmosphere (sat outside at a shady picnic table) and the food was spot on. Had a salad with grilled chicken and grilled chicken tacos with local corn tortillas. The beer and service were great, too. Highly recommend.
Located at a mountain bike trail head this is the perfect goal line food experience! Make no mistake Ranch Camp is for anyone who loves good food and craft beer.
