RESTAURANT
We’re a full-service, walk-in–friendly barbecue spot with a few cozy dining areas tucked inside our 100+ year-old farmhouse. When the weather’s warm, we open up our back porch overlooking the Winooski River and set the tables out in our front yard — perfect for soaking in the good vibes.

Our Barbecue
Smoked meats, from-scratch sides, and a barbecue-style with a nostalgic spirit and northeast roots — full of flavor, good energy, and bluebird charm.
We smoke our meats low and slow, and put real heart (and plenty of flavor) into every side and sauce we make. Barbecue takes time, and we’re proud of that. Some items may sell out — that’s how it goes at a real-deal barbecue spot — but if you come early — or come often — you’ll always get a taste of the full Bluebird experience.
The Bar
Our nine-seat bar is pouring some of vermont’s best beers, a small-but-mighty cocktail list, and a rotating lineup of handcrafted refreshers (zero-proof, all flavor).
Whether you’re grabbing a drink, settling in for a meal, or just passing through, we’ve got a seat for you.
The Bluebird Experience
We’re a full-service, come-as-you-are kind of place — where the barbecue is slow-smoked with care and the vibe is always relaxed. Inside, you’ll find cozy dining rooms with plenty of character, and when the weather’s warm, we open up our back porch overlooking the river and set the tables out in our front yard for fresh-air seating.
Planning Your Visit
View Current Hours
Find us in Burlington’s Old North End — just a quick hop from downtown and UVM — tucked right on the border of the City of Winooski.
Parking: We have two parking lots, one on each side of the farmhouse. During peak times, our lots can fill up quickly — if that happens, guests are welcome to street park on Hill Side Terrace just across the street. There’s a pedestrian walk signal at the light to help you cross safely. Thanks in advance for carpooling with members of your party when you can!
Walk, Bike, or Uber? We’re located right along a Burlington recreational path, making it easy to walk or pedal over — and yes, we’ve got a large bike rack out front. Most hotels in the Burlington and South Burlington area are just a short Uber or cab ride away.
