Black Ember Grill

We tried this out in June and were very impressed with everything! Pictured: the smashburger, with a grill mark that looks like Vermont! We’re not sure if that was intentional.

We also tried the pulled pork tacos, and a rack of ribs. All delightful. The meat was tender and juicy, the sides (garlic parm fries, coleslaw) brought it all together! Worth a stop, worth a detour to try!
