Passing through VT and spent a night in Middlebury, asked the desk what's open for food on a Sunday night at 8pm as the town looked pretty buttoned up.
Two Brothers was the choice from the desk so we went with it and so glad we did.
Place looked pretty busy, bar was full, we were seated pretty much right away. The menu is smaller (perfect amount of items , hate too many choices) but done well.
We love doing shareable so we can try a bunch of different things.
The mussels were the absolute show stopper here, different than most. Tequila, spicy, little bits of sausage, (i would have drank the broth or made this a soup it was so good)
The Poutine was different than I was used to, it was our least favorite but still ok. This is just a personal preference but I'm used to being smothered in gravy, it was almost non existent. It's like the ere was a ladle on the bottom and fries on top so didn't get a lot of it.
The street corn dip was really good, much different than others I've had as well but in a really good way. It was hearty with lots of corn, had some nice spice to it.
We also had (not pictured) French onion soup, loved it, nice peppery, piping hot.
The cheddar ale soup, best I've had, literally you can taste all the components of this, rich, thick, creamy, sharp cheddar with a hint of the ale in the background.
For dessert we took the donut holes to go, the colors dip was amazing, the chocolate looked like it was seized up a bit, we also ate this a little later so it could have been us and not from then.
This looks like a super fun place to belly up at the bar, it has the hometown feel , we are already planning a stop on our drive back later this week!
