My favorite is the tempeh wrap, the mac and cheese is reaaly good also! I can't wait for this place to open in the spring. Well worth the trip and an amazing place to eat lunch and birdwatch from the balcony over the river.

I think about this place all winter and get excited about them opening in the spring. Everything on the menu is excellent (my favorite may be Nikki's Wrap, or perhaps the chicken burrito). BYOB and be prepared for a lin in the warm summer months.

Good BBQ, Jambalaya, and amazing Mac & Cheese. Out door seating, but there is an indoor area. Prices were'nt bad either. Well worth the trip.

I grew up in Bratt and return often to visit family. When it's open, we always make it a point to eat there. It's a fun place to eat and the roasted root vegetables are awesome!

The Top of the Hill Grill is only open in good weather (May-Octoberish). Their food is really good, and it's a wonderful place to sit and look out over the West River.

The pulled pork at Top of the Hill Grill is very good. The prices are a little high for the area, and the "other than beans" side dishes are just ok. Definately worth a stop if you're in Brattleboro when its open.

I did not eat the ribs. Perhaps, I would have been happier. I ordered the brisket. The beef was slightly dry and tasted that it was baked in an oven. The barbeque sause covering it was great. So were the baked beans. The cole slaw was passable. There was no smoked flavor at all to the meat. Isn't that the... More

We live in Colorado and our son's wedding was in Walpole, New Hampshire in August. We were at a loss of how to get a great caterer to drive out to Alyson's Orchard where the wedding was and create a memorable rehearsal dinner for all the family and friends gathering that weekend -- incidentially, that was the weekend that Tropical...

BBQ sausage, pork and chicken, salads and summer fare. Delighful spot overlooking the river, with a meandering deck that feels like a grown-up tree house. Great for lunch or a very casual dinner.
