After a pleasantly rugged day around Burlington VT we tried the restaurant next to our hotel. The ambience is pleasant, our server was fantastic and the food was good. I had teriyaki steak tips.. delicious. They have a good kids menu. For parents on a budget, the place isn't cheap. But we aren't on a budget and had a nice time.

Took our grandson to American Flatbread for his birthday. The restaurant has been in Burlington for several years but I had never been there. The oven is in a convenient part of the restaurant so you can watch the action. That was nice and made the ambiance quite nece. We had four people so we ordered two pizzas and they were excellent. We had one meat lovers and one plain cheese. The service was very good with the servers spelling each other and making sure that customers were not left waiting for their food.I will be back.
8. Pearl Street Pub
Reviewed By mrslick
we have stopped here a few times since it opened. Its a small place and the owners sit at the bar and take up the seats. So if you want a drink you have to go to a table. You would think they would get up and offer you their seat. When you try and get through the door the smokers are right outside smoking so if you dont smoke you have to hold your breath. When the doors are opened the smoke comes inside. Other than that it is just a bar on the main drag next to the fairgrounds. We dont go there anymore

Enjoyed a wonderful meal with a good friend during the NFL Divisional Playoff games. Our aim was to eat, but forgot the Patriots were playing the Chargers. The place was packed with juiced up fans! Despite the focus, we had a wonderful meal served by a friendly and efficient waitress. This is the third of four McGillicuddy's pubs we've sampled. It's becoming one of our go-to places to enjoy food and ale. Go here, because you will not be disappointed.

Sadly, this was about the worst Reuben sandwich I have ever had. The bread was not quite right, the corned beef was not quite right. The sauerkraut seemed to be missing. The accompanying fries were okay and plentiful, but combined with what appeared to be a generally filthy looking restaurant, I will not be back.

Enjoyed lunch with a good friend to celebrate my wife's birthday. Our first time here, and can't wait to return. There are so many good choices on the menu, we will need to come back frequently to enjoy them all. What we heard about atmosphere and noise level is true, but we're finding more and more that this seems to satisfy the trend in dining out. Those of us in our 70's, however, reflect on times in the past where dining out was in comfortable, relaxed settings with NO NOISE!! Guess if you can't lick 'em, you join 'em. Sampled the fish tacos (outstanding), the Cuban (OK, but better in Tampa), and the maple chicken (Yummy). Sweet potato fries are some of the best we have had, and the fried plantains that accompanied the Cuban should have been grilled instead of deep-fried. Small nit-picks, but overall very good.

Pub food and weekly entertainment. Although in the same building On Tap is not connected to El Gato. Plentiful seating throughout the venue. We prefer to away from the parking lot entrance especially in the winter. Large bar with TVs and access for those that want to eat a quicker meal. Wait staff are terrific and prices are very reasonable. Great place to watch a ball game or gather with friends or family.

Stopped by for lunch with friends and spent two hours catching up. The restaurant was not slammed and since the space wasnât needed we just enjoyed ourselves. The staff was great as was the food. I had the Reuben sandwich with fries, everybody else had the salad bar. Our lunch was great. The facility was clean and very comfortable. The menu prices were very reasonable.
