Lost Nation Brewing — Restaurant in Morristown

Disappointment - this is the only emotion I have after a visit on 08/24/2024. Loved this place in all of my previous visits, with the last one being in fall of 2023. Regarded this place as a gem along the bike trail. This time, though, this was a sad experience. The beer - yes you will have good cold beer. The choices are there, but rather cut back. The food - don't go there for food, this is not what it used to be. Menu is limited to mostly fried food, even though it looks big on paper. For years had a note that I had my best burger in VT at this place, this is no longer the case. My burger was sloppy, the 'secret souse" was soggying he bun, doing not much for the flavor. The onions were everywhere but in the burger. The home fries that came with were still tough (undercooked?) on the inside. The service - what service? They have done away with servers. Now you bus your own table; you order and pick up from the same counter where you are making payments, your grab your own condiments, silverware, etc.; and you are still coerced into tipping with those screens they flip to you to sign off. On top of that the person at a counter was rather not friendly, maybe they had a bad day. Atmosphere - they gave up. That's what it felt like. They tried to make a place to be something good and welcoming but they dropped their hands and gave up. The bike racks on the trail side are gone. Either lay you bike or tie it to the tree, or drag it up the stairs to the main parking lot. A small bike rack is there. There is no more inside sitting. The place was dusty, tables and benches were sticky. The bathrooms were filthy. Hugely disappointed. If you are desperate then this place will feed you and you will have some decent beer, probably. Otherwise, go...

Coming here as a born and raised Vermonter, I was so excited to finally visit lost nation. I absolutely love the craft beer scene all over the US, but especially here in VT. I have to say, this was the most disappointing brewery I’ve ever been to. The staff member (probably upper 20s brunette female) at the front desk where you place your order was SO rude! She was snappy, unwelcoming, sassy, and helpful. I noticed she was like this to all other customers as well, so at least I wasn’t alone in this rudeness. I understand everyone has bad days, but having worked in the service industry for a number of years myself, there is a certain level of acceptability in behavior, and hers was unacceptable. Second, the beer was very meh, substantially lacking any flavor, and with all the craft beer options out there - just do yourself a favor and pass. Lastly, the food (tried a burger and pulled pork sandwich) were just OK, but really ruined by the coleslaw they put on the plate which makes the entire bottom bun soggy (extremely unpleasant and was super prominent on both the burger and sandwich). All of this for expensive prices!! I won’t be coming back and will not recommend to friends, family,...

I recently stopped in with a friend—she ordered the beef burger, and I went with the chicken burger. While the presentation was visually appealing, the taste unfortunately didn’t live up to the look. My friend found her burger pretty underwhelming, and mine was more crispy batter than actual chicken. At first, the maple glaze added a nice touch, but it quickly became overwhelmingly sweet. By the end, I was peeling off the batter and left most of the bun untouched—it felt like eating maple-covered fried coating with very little chicken to balance it out. There were no traditional toppings like lettuce or tomato, just a few thin cucumber slices.

That said, the potato wedges were fantastic—crispy, flavorful, and easily the highlight of the meal. I’d gladly come back just for those. I also tried a local beer, which wasn’t to my taste, but thankfully Hill Farmstead was on the menu and never disappoints.

The atmosphere inside was nice, with friendly service and live music adding a pleasant vibe. I had been here once before during the summer and much preferred the outdoor seating. Overall, while the food didn’t quite hit the mark for me, the service and setting made it a...
