Windjammer Restaurant

My family and I love coming here! We have celebrated countless birthdays, mother's days, father's days, college graduations, etc here!! The salad bar is to die for. The steak is always cooked to perfection and they have craft beers/ciders on draft. if you visit Burlington you have to visit the windjammer!

The boat-like bow appearance of the incredibly stocked salad bar is aptly called the salad boat on the menu. An attendant is on full-time duty ensuring the mirror-image choices on both paths along the bow are well stocked. The bread loaves are warm. The veggies are fresh and colorful. There’s always a pasta salad and potato salad and fresh cubed fruit available too. There are plenty of dressing choices, but my favorite is creamy dill. At each end of the salad bar are the non-refrigerated items to top off your salad like sunflower seeds, bacon crumbles and raisins. Across from the bow is the the cracker and cheese board with spicy jelly. It’s because of all these wonderful fulfilling choices that I usually just order the salad boat. But there are many delicious meals you can order for a few dollars more that also include the salad boat. Choose steak, seafood, chicken and vegetarian options. I’ve enjoyed scallops and salmon dinners many times over the years. This last time I decided to try something different and had the vegetarian ravioli that comes with asparagus and candied pecans. The presentation was beautiful. It was tasty and quite filling. The Windjammer also offers French Onion soup, chowder, a variety of appetizers including fried calamari, wines, beers and desserts.
The atmosphere, decor, and service complete the picture of this wonderful restaurant.

I would like to say is that the prime rib was very mediocre. I asked for medium well and that it to be put on the grill for 5 minutes each side so the fire could lick the prime rib and give it more flavor. What I think they did was microwave the prime rib and then throw it on the grill for about 2 seconds on each side. The scallops were good but watery. For 24 bucks they could have tried a little harder. It was edible but not remarkable.

Kinda pricey per person. But the steak my husband had was "incredible." The vegetarian entrees are well done. The salad bar is super fresh, if you have big eaters it would be a good value.

We had a group of 10 celebrating a friend. Our server was helpful, friendly, and accommodated us by separating our checks into 8 separate ones. The food was excellent and quite reasonably priced. Plus they gave us a space where we could talk and share in a more private place. All in all, a fantastic experience.
