French onion soup was delicious. A little salty, but that’s how I like it! Shepherds pie was very tasty but a somewhat small portion. (It was very good and I would have liked more.) Huge salad came with it with a chunk of toasted bread which was really good.

The atmosphere was pretty cool. A lot of history to look at. We were here as soon as it opened so it wasn’t crowded at all. This place lies in a small town with a traffic problem! Downtown can get very congested!
Anyway, the food and service were all great. But what really sets this place apart is the location. Can’t beat having a good meal in an old fire house. Loads of things to look at. If you’re coming mainly for the venue, get there early when no one else is there yet so you can wonder around and look at all the photos without bothering others.

I had such a fantastic experience here! ✨ The burger was absolutely delicious — juicy, flavorful, and cooked just right. You can really tell they care about quality. The decorations added so much character to the space, and the overall atmosphere felt lively yet comfortable at the same time.
When I visited, they even had live music playing, which made the whole experience even more special and fun. It created such a great vibe and made it the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the evening.
I’m already excited to come back and explore more items on the menu because if the burger was that good, I can only imagine how amazing everything else tastes! Definitely a place worth revisiting!

This place was so cool. It had been the main firehouse un to a new ladder truck was purchased and it was too big for the firehouse. A new one was built. The 100 year old firehouse was purchased, gutted, and restored into a restaurant. This space has Inn space upstairs as well. The food here is delicious. The atmosphere is fabulous. The decor is beautiful. I ordered the turkey burger with battered fries for my main. My hubby order the fish and chips. We started with a house salad to split. Everything we had was delicious. Our server was very knowledgeable of the menu. He was able to make suggestions when asked. We loved all the firehouse memorabilia hanging on the wall. The craftsmanship of the building was left intact. As part of the experience, patrons are encourage to look around. The washrooms are super clean. One is upstairs and one is downstairs.

We had such a great night at Ladder 1 Grill. The historic firehouse atmosphere is so unique, and the service was genuinely friendly and attentive. We were treated to live music while our family enjoyed cheeseburgers and mashed potatoes, a delicious open-faced turkey sandwich, and the prime rib special—everything was excellent. A fun, delicious, and affordable evening all around. Definitely check it out!

Was in town and met an old friend for lunch. The ambiance is just awesome with the history of being an old firehouse. I walked around the second floor and you can spend the night here and would love to do it if the opportunity presented itself. We both ordered the burger as the server mentioned they get fresh ground beef everyday. That sold us. Both of us were not impressed with the burger. I felt it needs to be seasoned better. I had the salad instead of the fries. It’s grass what can I say. Not the star. I would go again if I’m the area.

Very cozy spot. The bottom area was really nice. Got Reuben sandwich which was delicious. Their chilli was hearty. My sister got grilled chicken burger which was good.
Their honey mustard was thick and delicious with fries.
The funny part was their upstairs’ vibe. My sister and I both thought it had an eerie feeling to it. Almost like haunted house vibes
Either way, the food was good and so was service.

Wow what a great place full of Barre history and very happy to tell you all about it. The firehouse is authentic Queen Anne building with granite outside and Italian ceramic tile and wood work inside. The food was awesome but the service was absolutely wonderful.

Our waiter told us the history of this firehouse, which was very interesting. We shared a pizza, which was excellent!
