The waiters are not enough to serve everyone when it is busy. The food itself is okay and size is pretty big! If you are not hungry, it is better to share with your friends. The nacho is recommended. Burger is fine, the chicken quesadilla is a little bit too salty.

This was a nice break from the busyness of the Hotel Jay area of the resort. We tried getting a seat at the restaurant at the Hotel on a holiday weekend but they were booked and the Tavern was a mad house. Decided to check out Howies and we were met with open tables, friendly staff, and an extremely quiet atmosphere. Nice change of pace.

We enjoyed our food and the service was fine on a busy night. There were a couple missed orders, but the server took care of things.

The food was extremely disappointing, and took forever to come out even though the place wasn’t crowded.

The atmosphere is fun! A sports bar vibe. The food is pricy. I got 3 small tacos for about $14. The tacos were not great and not a lot to eat. Meat had a lot of fat. I wasn’t expecting too much but it was literally the only place opened for food around the resort within a walking distance. There is a door in the bar that goes directly out to the fire place which is a cool place to chill. Not sure if it’s part of the restaurant. They did have the sochi olympics hockey game on russia vs usa from 2014 when I was there 3 weeks ago, so I respect that. Overall a fun vibe, but food wasn’t all that.

Second time in two years I’ve been here. I was just as disappointed the first time. The restaurant was about half full and it still took 15 minutes to get seated. It then took almost half an hour to get our food which was mediocre at best. Only reason we tried again is because there isn’t much other choice at the resort for breakfast. I usually don’t write reviews (first one for this account) on bad experiences but this one was worth writing about!

Are there twice during our most recent stay at Jay Peak. Both times we had to track down the waitress after waiting for nearly 20 minutes to place our drink order. The food was good though, not sure I’d endure the wait again. Hit Foundry instead of this place.
