The Grafton Inn is a proud supporter of Vermont’s pioneering farm-to-table philosophy. Our historic inn and two restaurants in southern Vermont offer on-site dining year-round and feature locally-sourced ingredients prepared by food-loving professionals to create timeless, hearty dishes that will please any palate.

The Phelps Barn, originally a carriage house for guests' horses, provides a unique and rustic VT dining experience. Even the hayloft has been repurposed and renovated, providing an elevated seating area as well as our 8-tap bar. It is a fast pace restaurant with live music usually scheduled on the weekends.

If you are looking for a quieter space to have dinner or celebrate a special occasion, we would recommend our 1801 Tavern located inside the Main Inn. This historic space provides a cozy and elevated dining atmosphere. Within the 1801 Tavern you’ll find our recently renovated Pine Room Bar with a working fireplace.

    Fantastic service, excellent food! My wife and I love this place! The brussels sprouts appetizer is fantastic. Here is a must if you’re in this area! It is located a quaint town of Grafton Vermont and it’s a wonderful atmosphere to enjoy excellent food. Thank you for the wonderful evening!

    The brussel spouts appetizer had good flavors but they were not cooked enough, very difficult to chew. The other things we ate were good but not special.

    We were running late and called ahead. Even though the kitchen was supposed to close with us as last table seated, we had access to the whole menu and were not rushed. Very nice staff and great food

    Another wonderful dinner at the Phelp's Barn. Delicious corn chowder and cheese curd appetizer! We both had burgers which were excellent as usual. Can always count on a good meal!

    Such a beautiful place, in what is the quintessential Vermont village. We had a fantastic meal and drinks for our wedding anniversary. Service was outstanding; kudos to Hannah, our waitress. Special place; we'll be back! Only feedback would be that the portions are a bit small; we probably would have gotten an appetizer if known. Otherwise, terrific place.
