5 Small Town Steakhouses In Vermont That Are A Delicious Place To Dine

Those large chain-steakhouses are not true steakhouses. As Vermonters, we are extremely lucky to live in a state that has relatively few of these chain-restaurants, which in turn, makes it possible for more authentic steakhouses to be in business throughout Vermont. If you yearn for a mouth-watering steak in a unique and mom-and-pop style restaurant, take a trip to one of these exceptional small town steakhouses in Vermont.
