I'm from Stowe, and have two young kids. The Malt Shop is their favorite place in town, and unlike most kid-friendly places I love it too. The food is straightforward, but good. Everything I've had there (burgers, cheesesteak, broiled chicken sandwich, chili) is solid, and both the fries and onion rings are outstanding. Shakes are ...

Great atmosphere, my wife and I stop here every time we visit Stowe. The staff is very friendly and the food is pretty good. My wife recommends the egg creams. Will be stopping here this weekend for the 4th time.

We thought the food was very good, especially considering its price, which is relatively less expensive than anything else in Stowe. The burgers and the fries especially were great. The atmosphere, 1950s ambiance, was lots of fun, and the kids loved it. If you do, definitely order a frappe (milkshake). I would recommend this place to anyone

Mediocere food but a nice retro ambiance make this a fun place to bring the kids for a burger and some ice cream. Don't try anything too adventurous on the menu and you'll be fine. I tried the fried fish sandwich one day and was dissapointed. Bascially just another Stowe tourist trap which survives on the one time visitor but would be gone quickly if it had to depend on the locals.
