West Dover Joe’s

Can’t believe that we never stopped in. Adorable eatery with take out and sit down area. Pasta night, steaks and other options including sandwiches, burgers, wraps, salads. Chef is CIA trained and take out options are made fresh to order. We did take out but plan to try the in house dining for our next visit. Falafel wrap was tasty but could have used more vegetables and seasoning. Steak sandwich was tasty and dressed with mushrooms and onions. Take a break from pizza and chicken nuggets and take the kids for some real food.

I demand to know two things: who runs this goddamned establishment, and where the hell am I? Oh… very well then. Carry on.
I can’t vouch for the sit-​down menu, but the two calzones we ordered were basically each a large pizza folded in half. After a day of skiing, a hot, cheesy calzone you need to strap to the roof rack is a pretty sweet thing. The buffalo chicken calzone featured real-​life sliced, grilled chicken breast (not frozen butt-​meat) and the broccoli ricotta was stuffed full of fresh veggies, melty mozzarella and creamy ricotta. Each came with a small tub of delicious sauce for dunking our respective behemoths. The sit down restaurant must be pretty good, as a group came in while we were waiting and it was clear they had eaten dinner there the previous night and liked it so much they were back for lunch. Or maybe it was just Joe’s family. You know, Joe. Joe from West Dover?
The staff up front could be a tiiiiny bit friendlier, if I’m being picky… but I suppose I should just shut my mouth. They’ve already provided me with name, location and calzone. I don’t want to be pushy.

Mediocre. Everything is made from a box or can. Not bad… just not great. Service is OK.
Not a good place if you are a foodie.
And way over priced.

Great food and service. I had Seared Tuna BLT, delicious sandwich with lots of flavored. I will definitely have one again next time. Well done guys.

This is my first time in Vermont. Spent a long weekend here with my fiancé hiking, canoeing, and sightseeing. We’ve had some decent meals here at a few restaurants. Today after a day of hiking and other activities, we were just too tired to go out to a formal sit down eatery so we called West Dover Joes to see if they did «take-​out». Well, sure enough they do, and we ordered the stuff eggplant entrée and the ahi tuna salad. I don’t want to say I’m a foodie – but I am. The eggplant was amazing! The Abu tuna as fresh as I have ever eaten and the salad dressing along with the wasabi dressing for the tuna was convincingly home made!
We will definitely make another stop at Joe’s before heading home!

West Dover Joe’s is a fine eatery with a casual VT atmosphere! They have a nice variety of beef, poultry & seafood for dinner. It’s family friendly, lots of lunch choices too. A small selection of draught beer including Trapp Family Lager and wine for those who like. Looking forward to the grilled ahi tuna.

Excellent burger (ask for that Portuguese roll toasted!), great bar food and drinks list, supremely friendly and accommodating staff. Great place to watch the game or hang with locals over a cold one. Good times.

Nicest staff ever. And the food was fantastic. Was up for the Green Mountain Adventure Challenge and ate here twice (dinner Saturday and lunch Sunday). The food was amazing and I really can’t emphasize enough how great our server was. So so friendly and awesome.

Get the salmon — Beautiful presentation & delicious!
Friendly staff & live music.

Food was good. A nice surprise. Large portions so sharing is good. I had the pork and bean soup it was delicious! But more like a meal.

Love this hidden little gem! Its not crowded and has a cozy feel. Good menu and not fancy — for the family!

The food here is extremely bland, well below average for the area. Worse than the food was the aggressively poor, borderline confrontational service. If you must eat here I can say the sausage and peppers, and the Italian sandwich are both serviceable choices.

Super diasapointed with how the kitchen staff treated me at the counter. Both orders for a salad were made over the phone for pick up, the first time my meat was cooked well done when asked for rare, and at pick up received an attitude about how I asked my meat to be cooked. Second time ordered the same thing for pick up at a specific time, and order was cooked an hour early and sat there! At the counter same staff member said we were wondering if you were ever going to show, meanwhile I showed up 5 minutes early to requested time. Never going back

Some friends and I ordered takeout from Joe’s a few days while we were on vacation. The food was sub-​par and quite bland, especially the proteins. Worst of all however was the horrendous management and staff. We seemed to have an issue every time we picked up an order. Without going into details there was a situation where I strongly question their rating with the board of health.
Not a chance I am giving them my business again

Started funny as I called for reservations and they told me they don’t take them and when I arrived and requested the booth vs the table, they said it was taken by a reservation… weird. Quick synopsis; calamari — good but a bit too oily. Schnitzel — good but thicker then I’m used to. The sirloin and salad w sirloin — almost inedible as it tasted like charcoal. The lava cake and pecan cheesecake were okay. The kids however loved the whipped cream that came with it. If you go — avoid the steak. I would rate 2 ½ but not an option.

Lunch was fair. All our appetizers were good, we had fajitas, buffalo wings and fried calamari.
I had the Falafel wrap which was okay. Three others all had the Wimpy Burger and it was burned on the outside, but okay besides that. Fries were very good The cheesesteak got a thumbs up and the fish wrap was terrible because it tasted like they put steak sauce on it. It would have been good except for that. The service was pretty slow, but in their defence it was probably busier then usual because it was a rainy and people who are normally skiing were eating lunch instead (like us).

Searched Unilocal while in West Dover, VT with the wife and found this place. It was way below the reviews and we were disappointed.

Never actually got to try it. There was a sign saying «Please Wait to be Seated.» After a family told us they had been waiting for 5 minutes and hadn’t seen anyone, so we bailed. Bad service from the start is not a good sign to me.

We’ve been here before when in the area for the Tough Mudder. We have ALWAYS had a great expereince and a delicious meal. This past visit we only went for breakfast on our last day — it was quite good. I did feel bad for the one waitress who was handling all of the tables inside and out as it made the service slow but all in all, nothing that would keep us from going there again.

Came here based on Unilocal’s recommendation, I was very disappointed… I guess either we were unlucky or it was actually pretty bad.
We were a group of 10 people. We had:
Nacho Platter, Buffalo Wings, Angry Mussels, Onion Ring, Ahi Tuna Sala, Chipole Lime Shrimp, French Fries, Scallops Joe, Grilled Salmon, Stuff Chicken Marsla, Soup du our, Chicken Carbonara.
I guess the portion of food was generous, but the quality of food was veyr average. Chipole Lime Shrimp was probably the best, Salmon was good, but NO Ahi Tuna, it was not great.
The service was ok, but I think it was really more of a 2.5 stars place
