Went for lunch, day before the last day of the season. Had chicken salad plate, it was okay, not much salad though. My friend had the DanaBurger, it was done nicely. Also had the clam chowder, tasted like any progresso soup from a can. Other friend had the turkey sandwich, it was average, but the onion rings were amazing! Nothing... More

We ate here after visiting Vermont's "grand canyon" which is just a few hundred yards away on highway 4. The food was excellent and portion sizes generous. Only negatives were traffic noise - they were seating everyone on the front porch. And no a/c and it was getting rather warm in there. But overall a very pleasant dining experience.

I love going to the Quechee Ballon Festival every June. One of the things I always look forward to is eating at Dana's by the Gorge. Breakfast is my favorite The walnut french toast and the bacon egg and cheese with canadian bacon and fruit are the two I can never choose between. I try and pace myself eating on... More

We had a lovely lunch on their screened porch. I had a spinach salad with fruit + almonds; my partner had a garden salad with black eyed peas. Both salads had great flavors, not huge portions but quite enough for us. If you like bigger meals, the hamburgers & fries at the neighboring table looked great. The menu has a... More

I just love Dana's...the location, the staff and of course the food. Every time I am back in the area I make sure to have breakfast or lunch one day at Dana's. There is something for everyone on the menu and you will definitely leave completely stuffed!

I have been going to Dana's for years and have never been disappointed. The food is excellent, the service is fast and friendly, and the prices are very reasonable. I like to get the Green Mountain Special - pancakes(sometimes I sub blueberry sometimes just plain), eggs, Canadian bacon (or you can get regular bacon too!) and toast. The waffles are... More

Dana's is one of the home-town favorites for breakfast or lunch. I have been there many times and have never been disappointed - have trouble ordering anything but the blueberry pancakes for breakfast (they are so good with the real maple syrup that is served), but others in my party order and enjoy almost any of the breakfast dishes. Whether... More

Dana's is such a cute restaurant. It is very cheery and quaint. The service is great and the food is yummy. Its my favorite place to go. The seven C's cashew chicken salad is one of my favorites but they have tons of great stuff on the menu. They have way more than your standard boring breakfast and lunch orders.... More
