Cozy atmosphere, good service, creative menu. Didn t love the dishes we got (corned beef hash had lots of onions and too big chunks of beef for my preference) but the gingerbread pancake was great and neighbors got the fruit plate which also looked awesome.

The food was good and the staff were very friendly, my only complaint is that there isn't enough meat with the dishes (hence 4 stars and not 5). As you can see from the pic you only really get one sausage with your dish, and although it tasted good it left me hungry for more.

Amazing vibes here, great food (the veggie reuben is one of the best sandwiches on the planet) and great service. Only off note is that due to low ceilings, every high pitched noise like children's voices and clanking dishes seems twice as loud as usual and so the noise level there is always pretty ...

BEST place in Burlington for REAL home made food! Never have had a bad meal here, the "spuds" are STELLAR! But try everything, you won't be disappointed! Waitstaff is friendly, professional and always welcoming! Prices are modest: NOT cheap, NOT expensive. Quality is right up there, even the jams a...

This is my favorite breakfast place in Vermont, the service is amazing and so is the food. You just need to know the menu and get the best deal for you. They do have a lot of choices so it can be hard, but I would recommend the peanut ginger tofu scram, I know "tofu" but let me tell you it's absolut...

Went with high expectations. Heard good things but the place fell short. Parking is difficult and requires payment. Menu items were typical but with nice unique flair yet when looking for breakfast staple food, it didn't deliver. Very nice wait staff and pleasant service.

Just go...you won't regret it. And start with a bucket of spuds to make everyone at your table smile. SO glad I saw all the good ratings and stopped in for brunch on my visit to Burlington. Definately will be going back again when in the area!

Simply the best breakfast in Burlington. This time I got out of my polenta and eggs rut (oh, but that is so good) and tried the corned beef hash. It was amazing. No gluten free bread here, but good corn tortillas available as a substitute.

Good, but a little greasy. Atmosphere is OK, a little loud and can be crowded during peak breakfast hours. We had breakfast here - bucket of spuds was good, and the bacon egg and cheese was also good, but again, greasy. Friendly waitstaff.

Friendly, fast service. Lively without being crazy crowded. (We got there early. I'm thinking you should get there early.) The food was tasty, the coffee was good, we were in and out in an hour without feeling rushed at all. Two enthusiastic thumbs up!

Excellent service, excellent food. You really can't go wrong here. Might be a bit of a wait, but if you actually stuck around you'll often jump the line of people that have wandered off. Try anything on the menu, the gravy, the Hispanic inspired, anything and everything is delicious.

Exceptionally long wait to be seated for breakfast, 45+ minutes. Menu has a variety of choices and the food wasn't bad, it was just too trendy for my taste. Others rave about their "cluse sauce", I found it to be rather bland and uninspiring. Waitstaff are courteous and pleasant.

Close to $18 for two scrambled eggs, two pieces of bacon, couple homefries and piece of white bread. It was good, but not worth the price. Do they think this is Newbury street in Boston or something? The pricing is ridiculous especially during these hard times...Should have just made it myself...

On our first morning staying in Burlington, I did a bit of research to find just the right breakfast place. I wanted a mimosa, he wanted a heady topper, and we both wanted low key, delicious and healthful food. What we got at Penny Cluse was everything I would want cooked at home but better. Fresh c...

Great place to go for breakfast. My husband and I stopped here while in Burlington. We were seated right away and given coffee, and our waitress kept refilling our cups quickly without us ever having to ask. All of the food was very tasty. My favorite thing was probably the bucket of spuds. Will def...

My favorite breakfast place in the universe. The Penny Cluse itself is my favorite dish. It may take forever to get seated, but it's extremely worth it. Doesn't have a lot of frills; doesn't need a lot of frills. Name a good breakfast place with frills. The place you just described to yourself is ba...

Great food! Take your classic diner and add organic ingredients with more healthy options and you get Penny Cluse.

Also, a lot of southern who have reviewed this restaurant were appalled at the gravy because it does not contain sausage. First, when you are traveling to other states, they may inte...

Delicious food and great flavors! Get the hash browns. You will not leave hungry. The line and wait can get pretty long if you go on a busy time for Sunday brunch, but totally worth it! The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming. Lots of locals and regulars!
