Mister Ups

This place was recommended to us by the proprietor of "Frog Alley Leather and Tattoos." Since it was in easy walking distance, we decided to give it a chance and I'm glad we did.  We almost missed it because our "Fearless Leader" was starting to take us OVER the bridge, but one of our distaff members stopped a passerby for directions (naturally).  Turns out, the place is UNDER the bridge, and if we walked over we'd've never seen it.

The clam chowder was WONDERFUL (as I've come to expect when getting clam chowder anywhere in New England).  The "Ragin' Cajun" burger wasn't nearly as spicy as I'd expected but it was still delicious.  I thought it would come with some kind of Cajun/Creole kind of sauce, but it was rather "dry" in that regard so I had to fall back on that good ol' American standby:  KETCHUP.

I didn't bother with the fries and instead got the side Caesar salad which was also very good.  A good recommendation for lunch, and now  I'm passing it along on Yelp.  Enjoy!

American bar food style that doesn't disappoint.  Good local beers on tap, great deals on beers different days of the week.  Service can be a little spotty at times as this restaurant can be a jumping off point for young newbie servers from the nearby high school, but also some seasoned veterans that keep it together.  

They sort of got shafted by the new bridge they built which blocks some of their view of the river and kind of puts them in a dark hole underneath Middlebury that you can't really see.

The outdoor seating is excellent.  Stick to the burger and pizza menu, get a beer and you won't be disappointed.  Sit inside and order some "dinner" and you will.  We go to Mister Ups often and really like it!
