I love this place. Great look. Good food.(It is a bar really.). Great mountain. And the best waitress/hostess of all time: Anna Jane. Ask for her. And have a Switchback.

This is a restaurant that is pricy and not such a high quality food. I was disappointed when fish of the day came out more like an arrangement of seafood with pasta sauce. I had to ask the waitress to send it back because the fish was uncooked. You could see it right away. Also ordered tacos. It was a little bit on the sour side and jalapeño was overpowering. Orange colored mayo probably not necessary. The meat inside was fried and tasted stale. Because of the stale smell I couldn’t eat them. I did not want to order dessert so we(6people) asked for a separate checks to which the waitress rudely told us to go to an atm outside across the restaurant. The tip came included but seriously did not want to pay the 18% tip. The only thing I would recommend if you are at Sugarbush Resort in Vermont is to eat at the Resort Cafeteria. It has better salmon menu at half the price. I will not be returning to this restaurant.

Menu limited and lot of nickel and diming on bill, which I hate. Service was slow and waitress inattentive– had to ask other waitstaff to get her a couple of times. All in all, would not hurry back, esp on a busy ski day.

Pricey for the offerings, but its location is so convenient, close to the slopes. Perfect for the early breakfast buffet(standard fare), and good coffee. What a view of the slopes, especially during the Torchlight Parade.

Overpriced and service was almost nonexistent. Burger was good, though. Nice setting for a burger joint! too bad

We’re locals, and we really like to give our local establishments the benefit of the doubt. We heard from friends that there was a new chef and things had improved(Timbers has a checkered history with many of our friends). *Service was slow and inconsistent, and it was a Sunday evening with only a few tables being served. *The menu is way over priced for both the portions and the quality of food. And, we were charged exorbitant fees for small add-ons like small fruit cup with fondue($ 7.00 surcharge). And, $ 32 for fondue for 2 ??? This is a small portion of bread and veggies, no meat. Ridiculous. *There were some silver linings… good burgers(though they threaten on the menu they can only cook them ‘medium’). And to end it all, we had to have a busser search for our server twice, and the final time to get our check. It’s such a shame that Sugarbush, in it’s commendable recent history of improvements and development, can’t get their flagship restaurant to a proper place, especially given its beautiful architecture and physical space.

We walked into Timbers and there were about four people at the bar on a Saturday for lunch. Note: at this time the restaurant was completely empty. The bartender, aptly named Anastasia given the wicked stepsister and all, finally asked if we wanted menus. We replied«yes, and two waters please,» to which she responded«there’s some behind you on the table.» By this, she was referring to dixie cups and a glass dispenser much like you’d find in a hotel lobby. I grabbed some teeny waters and waited. She proceeded to cease making eye contact with us, never dropped menus, and stood behind the bar eating a meal. We sat and sat. We thought perhaps she was getting off soon, but still no excuse. Another guy began his shift and finally gave us menus. We had to ask for water again twice. He brought other beverages we ordered and about ten minutes later water. The restaurant was filling up quickly by now. Five minutes after ordering he returned to ask what we ordered again although the bar wasn’t very busy yet and we ordered the exact same thing. Very inattentive and like pulling teeth to get service. The food was just ok, but I’ve had a better grilled cheese for $ 2.50. Theirs is $ 15. Long story short… as two girls who have held many service jobs, we were blown away by the awful service. We’d never been treated how we were by Anastasia. I have a tip for her, find work in another industry, hospitality isn’t your thing. All in all it took over an hour and a half to order and pay for two grilled cheeses, a coffee, hot chocolate, and cider. I would recommend this place to Hindus looking for a fun night out of fasting.

One of the better, fancier places to eat on the mountain. Drinks were ok. The service was really good and the staff was, for lack of a better word, friendly. The food was definitely solid and upscale, but a bit too simple for the fine dining price tags. I guess that’s the drawback of being dead smack in the middle of a ski village. I would recommend this place if you’re not a budget and want some diversity from the food at the ski lodge.

Overpriced, mediocre food. We felt the fish tacos and the tortilla soup tasted exactly the same.

Read the reviews and ignored them(to my peril). Potatoes undercooked, Mac and cheese(for kids) out of box, and generally poor quality and experience.

Sat at the bar for some après riding drinks and eats. Bartenders are great, service is fast. The pork belly tacos are awesome. It was kind of quiet/low key but it was a Tuesday.

Just ate at Timbers. I was disappointed at the small portions for the price. Mixed Green Salad for $ 11.50 very small. I had the Shrimp & Mussels with Pasta. It was served with 5 Mussels less than 10 Micro Shrimp, and very little Pasta. $ 25.00 is out of line. We won’t be rushing back.

They have a new chef, and he has redone the menu. The food is very good. Great ambiance. This is a very good option in the Valley.

Great lunch menu! Far better than you would expect on the mountain. Service is as good as you’d expect from kids who wished they were snowboarding instead.

We had dinner at timbers last night. I give it 2 stars. Very nice setting. Food ok but very small portions for price. Had steak house salad for $ 11. Smallest salad I ever was served. Manager came by and asked us about our meal — when i told her about the salad, she came back later and took it off the bill. Meal was supposed to have a house veggie, but not served. Even the coffee was weak! One good point was their wine list had 30 bottles all priced at $ 30 each. Just go for the wine.

Lousy service. Six of us walked in at 7pm and the maître de acted like we were ruining his day! The restaurant was nearly empty! Waiters forgot things several times. Food was so so at best. The fondu appetizer was very lackluster but not altogether horrible. The butter brought out for all of the bread was frozen! I had a pork chop that was way over cooked and my mom had one that was way undercooked. Someone in our party complained about the coconut chicken. The only entrée that people thought was good was the Osso Bucco. Nice interior but lousy service and very mediocre food at best. WAY overpriced for what else you can find around town.

Ate there last night. I agree with the above reviews, total disaster from hostess reception to servers to food arriving cold. Prices high for the quality of the place. I should have gone to the Common Man, but wanted to give this a try. Never again!

First, I want to love this place. Been here once or twice before and had a good meal + good service. But this time… I was just stunned. Similar to what I’ve read here, food was above(to well above) average, but the service was incompetent at best. Had friends in town, and they walked through Timbers on the way off the mtn and they were intrigued. But the delays were awful. We were sat right away, but it took 15 minutes to take a drink order. Manager had to take the order, in fact. Then another 15 minutes for the drinks to arrive. Didn’t really notice because we were talking. Then another 15ish to take our food order, at which point it was past 8PM, and the chance of walking out and finding something more than Paradise Deli at that point was nil(nothing against Paradise, love their stuff). Stupid stuff too, like for a group of 6 they would provide a bread basket with only 2 – 3 pieces of bread. After 30 minutes waiting for the food, I mentioned to the Maitre d’ about the delays. At which point the manager came by and graciously apologized, and it STILL took another 15 minutes before the food showed.(Full 90 minutes for those keeping score at home). Food was again above average, but the sour taste overwhelmed the dinner. Now, everyone was perfectly nice — that’s what I love about VT — and the manager gave the kids some free desserts. But since we had a large group, the 18% was automatically included — ugh. I spent most of the night and the next day apologizing to my guests, who paid the(not cheap) bill themselves because they were staying at my place. I blame myself — I should have complained louder at the outset.

Trying hard, but success is elusive. One hell of a venue though. Definitely worth a lunch sometime.

As others have noted, the service can be off here. We were here for a late lunch/snack at around 2:30. It was not packed and most people had finished their food. No waitstaff for at least 5 or 7 minutes. Then our drinks took 15 minutes, if we were sitting at the bar it would have taken less than 3. Of course our drinks were no longer cold.(Cosmopolitans) The food took a little longer, and was quite good. All we had were the spicey fries, yum.
