First time dining here. Great location and ambiance. The staff are very friendly. Wait time is short. Definitely a Middlebury institution.
The portions are very large. Too much food for me and my partner. A short stack of pancakes is 3 huge pancakes. I found the batter less than satisfactory. The eggs were too greasy.
I tend to avoid restaurants with mixed reviews. However, we had heard good things about the place so we gave it a try. We did. We don’t need to go back. We prefer other breakfast places in Middlebury.
Overall, keep everything the same, but raise the quality of the food.

We LOVE Shiretown. It’s our favorite spot for breakfast with our young twins. The people are kind & accommodating, the service is really fast, the drip coffee is high quality, and the food is consistently so good! Their lunch is killer too–some of the best BBQ I’ve had in VT (and I’m from Texas, so I know good BBQ). We also love their creemees, and they are the only place in town that serves them through the winter! I dream about their candy cane creemee all year.

I am so grateful that Shiretown is in our community. The food is delicious, and the owners and staff are wonderful humans. We always send our visitors there if they are out and about in Middlebury. I also highly recommend their catering menu! And don’t get me started on the creemees-some of the best in VT!!

Excellent, friendly staff and exceptional quality food. I ordered the Turkey Cobb Salad. The lettuce was fresh and crunchy with the perfect ratio of meat, eggs, blue cheese crumbles, avocado and dressing. 10/10 would return when in the area.

We went here for breakfast and got breakfast burritos. The Fire Roasted Red Pepper + Black Bean Burrito and Chorizo + Potato Burrito were both fresh, well prepared, and delicious. The service was pretty quick, and the ambiance inside is really nice and there is seating as well. Would definitely recommend for breakfast!

Clean store, friendly service, ordering is fast and easy, food is delicious! I tried the Tri-tip beef sandwich, which was cooked perfectly, and pickles that had a nice, refreshing taste.

The best burger I have ever eaten was served to me today at Shiretown Marketplace. Imagine a taste that forces you put the burger aside to just ponder on how something so breathtaking has eluded you for your entire life. I fear this experience has ruined every other burger for me. Thank you Kevin … for changing my life

Went here for lunch and absolutely loved it! Highly recommend the pulled pork sandwich and the French onion grilled cheese. Great ambiance as well — very quintessential Vermont meets Midwest smokehouse.

This was the first and very last time that I will ever go to this restaurant.
I came here for breakfast August 2, 2025 i had a sausage estage egg with bacon. Biscuit biscuit was underdone. The egg was way overdone I ordered a medium rare.and got well done and the meat tasted like the crap that you. Get from mckenzie’s for the bacon and sausage you’re better off to go to McDonald’s.
That way, if you’re gonna get crap you’might as well know what you’re paying for. Very long, wait to get your meal I actually prefer McDonalds The waitstaff don’t circle back to see how everything is. Just all around not impressed save your money go elsewhere
