The Shopping Bag is the best corner store in the ONE. They have the best prices on tobacco and alcohol, every household or food staple you could need, and takeout available to order in person and online. Since the 70's they've provided the neighborhood with heartwarming and gut-filling meals, finally acknowledged when the Food Network crowned "the Sizzler" the best burger in Vt. Certified in curing hangovers AND heartbreak.
Order food at the register and don't ask if your order is done yet. If it was it'd be in your hands.
(DISCLAIMER: Do not expect "the customer is always right" treatment here. If, "can I speak to your manager?" Is in your vocabulary, try the co-op down the road)
The Shopping bag is a small neighborhood corner convenience shop, BUT.. with a grill up front, and a butcher/meat counter in back! Sizzler burger is awesome. Grab some drinks out of cooler (they have Surge!) and place your food order at the register. Staff is nice and entertaining while you wait.. can be a little long 10-15 minutes as order is made fresh, well worth it! Crowd inside can sometimes be a bit sketchy, but you can always call ahead and place orders over phone for pick up limiting the time waiting..
Love the burgers and fries!
LOVE THEM!
This place is legit! Best food in town and by far the best cashier in Chittenden County.
The Sizzler is a great burger, especially considering it’s only $7. Half pound of beef bacon and all the fixings, lettuce and tomato included. It’s made at a grill station in the front of a neighborhood store. You grab your drink and order at the cashier. It took about 10 minutes when I was there and there’s no great place to wait. Service was a little rude. It’s the kind of place where you need to be a regular.
I used to live on Cedar st, about a block away from the Shopping Bag, and this place was basically my bodega. I could get toilet paper, a Sizzler, beer, detergent and maybe see a fight all in one place.
The burgers are the perfect alcohol soaking grease sponges and you don't have to deal with fake niceties from the register. They check your stuff, you pay and no one has to say anything, it's great.
I get the diablo, it's not that spicy because of the jalapeno poppers so I recommend hot sauce. They tend to have specials, which can be worth it. You're best off ordering online. Enjoy.
