Gringo Jacks Southwestern Bar and Grill has been bringing a wide and delicious variety of authentic Mexican, Tex-Mex, and Southwestern foods to Manchester for over 20 years, and we hope it’ll be at least 20 more! The restaurant has a great, comfortable atmosphere, and the large seasonal patio is great for sipping a drink and watching Manchester roll by. Go for the basics of house-made guac, original recipe chips, and killer margaritas, or dive in all the way with fajitas, enchiladas, and more!

Open for indoor and outdoor seating! Call (802) 362-0836 for takeout or reservations. Reservations are strongly recommended for weekend nights.

Our Soul-Satisfying Manchester, VT Restaurant

Living off the land is a matter of course in Vermont. Witness our own Copper Grouse tavern, presenting Kimpton Taconic Hotel guests and local friends with a diverse blend of updated yet unpretentious classics in the regional American culinary tradition. Our chef sources ingredients from local farms to create a menu of familiar yet inimitable fare. Beverages at Copper Grouse incorporate mostly American wines, craft-brewed beers and many local spirits, including one of our favorites: whiskey. Our cocktails are anchored in classics, and are often influenced by American history or literature. Service is as warm and thoughtful as the ambience, so you’ll always feel you’re right where you belong.

Every Sunday and Monday we are offering an Indian Take-out Menu!
Please go to Coppergrouse.com/event to see the menu.

Welcome to Zoey’s! We are a family owned and operated restaurant, opened in August 1991 in the heart of beautiful Manchester, Vermont. The opening concept was incredibly simple: prepare our food with the finest ingredients available, and we do. We are proud to say we make our own cookies and bread and offer absolutely the most delicious soup and custom made sandwiches anywhere, all here in our open kitchen.

We are also known for our bright and cheerful, eclectic décor featuring roosters, fire hydrants, clocks, and a rotating array of ever-interesting items.

Zoey’s is a favorite among locals and tourists alike. Many visitors to town tell us they make sure to return to Zoey’s year after year. We have seating in the restaurant and a small outdoor patio when the weather is nice. Or you can pick up an order to go. We hope to see you soon!

Executive Chef, Ed St. Onge, has run some of Vermont’s busiest destination kitchens; from Stowe’s Topnotch Resort and Spa to the Stratton Mountain Club. In 2014, he teamed with his wife, Fortune 500 sales and marketing consultant, Nancy St. Onge, to create one of Manchester’s hottest new dining experiences. The Raven’s Den is a fast-casual steakhouse where everything is made from scratch and patrons can expect great food, great service, and great atmosphere at a reasonable price.

Menu items cater to a variety of tastes; from a tender and juicy Black Angus steak, to a classic seafood dish, to a plate from the salad bar stocked with seasonal produce, handcrafted dressings, Vermont cheeses, and freshly baked breads. Visitors can enjoy an upscale meal in the dining room, a custom cocktail in front of the stone fireplace, or a grass-fed burger in the tavern.

The “Den” is the area’s only restaurant to offer wines-on-tap, a state of the art delivery system where reds and whites are available by the pour, always as if they’ve just been uncorked! This offering, combined with their regular wine list and inventory of spirits, has earned the restaurant a 2015 Wine Spectator “Award of Excellence.” As a thirty year veteran of the hospitality industry and winner of the Vermont Chef-of-the-Year award from ACF, Chef Ed is proud of this achievement and says that he prices wines affordably because he wants them “to be accessible for patrons to enjoy with their meal.”

Raven’s Den also happens to be a brand new snowmobile destination! Nestled in the southwest corner of Vermont between the Green Mountains to the east and the Taconic Mountains to the west, and located just off trail 7F4 in Corridor 4, at the end of Rootville Road, riders can drive their sled directly to ample parking on the restaurant’s snow-covered lawn.

Super Sunday: 11:30am Have fun watching the game on 4 HDTV’s with some crispy Potato Skins with melted cheese, real bacon bits, scallions and sour cream, plus a well cocktail or Beer for $12

Mad Monday: 4pm-9pm Enjoy half-a-dozen crispy Chicken Wings for just $3.50 and $5 Long Trail beer. Choose from Buffalo, Teriyaki or Maple BBQ Sauce

Three Amigo Thursdays: 4pm-9pm 1. Start with a Margarita with fresh limes. 2. Add a hand battered fish taco with “zippy white sauce.” 3. Add a pile of cheesy Nachos made to order. You can’t go wrong with the 3 amigos for just $12.

NOW OPEN – a Southern Kitchen in the Green Mountains featuring Southern Home Cooking, House Smoked Barbecue, Artisan Cocktails, Craft Brews and Fine American Wines.  A completely renovated space with cozy indoor dining, el fresco dining with firepit, and a gourmet market.

We offer everything from over a dozen varieties of burgers, to roasted salmon, maple glazed chicken, mac and cheese, steak and much more.

With delicious food at great prices, we were so busy we had to expand in 2006. We have plenty of seating both indoors and during the warmer weather, outdoors as well, on our screened in deck where you can enjoy the fresh air, but the bugs can’t enjoy you.

Mother Myrick’s Summer Reading Program

The Summer Reading Program is Back!!

Mother Myrick’s Confectionery announces the dates for its annual Summer Reading Program! It starts on June 18th and the program ends September 11th.
This reading program, in its 32nd year, is designed to motivate kids to read during the summer with rewards for reading various books chosen by each child.

Here at Mother Myrick’s, we provide our “game board” which has directions to guide each child through steps to earn treats as they read. (We encourage younger siblings to also join in by having an adult read to them). The hope is for children who don’t care to read will become reading converts! It’s lots of fun and keeps reading skills sharp until school starts again. Students in grades K through 6 are invited to participate.

Game boards can be picked up at Mother Myrick’s Confectionery – we’re open daily. Or go to www.mothermyricks.com to download a game board. Contact person: Jacki or Sabrina at 802-362- 1560 or jacki@mothermyricks.com for an email copy or to receive one through the mail.

Mother Myrick’s Confectionery has been making artisan chocolates, cakes & confections since 1977 in its retail shop and makes goodies available online
(www.mothermyricks.com ). Dedicated to promoting children’s lifelong love of reading & literacy, Mother Myrick’s encourages all age-eligible students to join in & read this summer!
