What a lovely place. What lovely people. What a deal. Maybe the last place in Vermont you can get lunch for under $20. A massive menu of options with some serious hidden technique buried throughout. I really can’t wait to go back for more.
Pictured is the fish sandwich, tartar sauce, pickles, shredded lettuce. It was seriously delicious

Delicious & lovely experience. The cheeseburgers were juicy and flavorful, a basket of fresh fries on the side to share. The lavender lemon spritz was tasty. The best mozzarella sticks, such a treat!

I love stopping by Pioneer Lakeshore Cafe for breakfast and lunch as I pass through Mallets Bay.
I like their waffles and breakfast burrito. In particular I really like the hashbrown. The fried chicken sandwich and BBQ brisket melt are so melt in your mouth good plus the truffle fries. They use fresh ingredients and are attentive to detail. You order at the counter and they bring the food your table promptly. The staff are friendly and the owners are delight to chat with.
Worth dining there as it is filling and a delight to support this local business.

A hidden gem that we discovered while driving around the lake. Cute little place that seemed popular amongst the local. The fried shrimp sandwich was so delicious (shrimps were well cooked and fried). The HASHBROWN IS AMAZING (get it !!!). A great stop for lunch or dinner ! Already saved for a must-visit for my next trip.

Best poutine in the county. Hands down. Their crispy chicken sandwich is a work of art. Newly added draft beer to top it off.

Pioneer Lakeshore Cafe is fantastic in every way! I’ve been here 2-3x a week since they opened early June and leave very full and happy every single time. It’s the perfect spot for a delicious, fresh breakfast or lunch. You can tell that a lot of love and care goes into every dish. Their breakfast always hits the spot, my favorites include the build-your-own breakfast sandwich and breakfast burrito. Always get a side of their homemade hash brown! Lunch menu is also a win, offering a variety of reimagined classics. My go-tos are the Crispy Chicken Sandwich, BBQ Brisket Melt, Fishwich and Smashburger. Besides the food, the owners, Jean-Luc and Lindsay, are so kind! They greet every customer with a smile and take time to get to know you. This place is a gem! Come try it out and see for yourself!

Chicken sandwiches built this brand and it shows. I’ve always said my chicken sandwiches are my favorite and that’s still true. When I don’t feel like making one…. I’ll be going here.
They use chicken thighs. That should be enough for you to go here. Chicken thighs are 1000X better than breast and this sandwich was dripping with flavor. A simple buttermilk and flour fry that locks in moisture while adding crunch. Pickles, lettuce, and Aleppo pepper honey rounded out the umami. The brioche brought the soft sweetness and the mint herb Mayo sealed the deal.
Currently, this is my favorite chicken sandwich in Burlington. Is it to my perfection? No. What would I change? I would do jalapeño or habanero honey to kick up the spice. They don’t bc…. Let’s be fair… it’s a business and there’s a lot of white people in Vermont. I love spice so it’s necessary for me.
The mint Mayo made this my favorite chicken sandwich. I would personally do a pickle brine and then 3 step dreg with Italian breadcrumbs for more crunch and crisp but their method makes way more sense operationally and cost wise. I would still like to see more crunch from the chicken. This might be also achieved by keeping the buttermilk brine, maybe adding pickle juice to it, and subbing the flour with flour and corn meal or even sprinkling rice flour with seasoned flour.
These criticisms are the most minimal. They are all also based on preference. This place is down the road from me and already had a place in my heart. I will be back. OFTEN!
