Since opening in Downtown Bennington, Steve and Liz of The Angry Egg 2 have been redefining breakfast, lunch, and brunch with creativity, local focus, and community spirit. After a successful run in Connecticut, the family-owned business brought their inventive menu and dedication to quality ingredients to Vermont, quickly becoming a local favorite.

The Angry Egg isn’t just about food; it’s a hub for community and culture. Local and regional musicians perform every Sunday through December, creating a lively atmosphere, while the restaurant regularly showcases art, photography, handmade crafts, and antiques, connecting diners with Vermont’s creative scene. Behind the scenes, Steve and Liz work closely with local butchers and vendors to ensure fresh, high-quality ingredients in every dish.

Breakfast is served all day, with highlights like the Angry Egg Sammich: two eggs, bacon, Cabot extra-sharp cheddar, chipotle mayo, and arugula on a brioche bun, or the indulgent I’m Hangry, featuring three eggs, bacon, breakfast sausage, pancakes, home fries, and toast. Their Stuffed French Toast, filled with mascarpone and berries, topped with maple butter and whipped cream, is a sweet favorite. Lunch items include the Italian Chicken Sandwich with pesto, pepper bacon, and granny smith apple coleslaw, and the Mexi-Melt, a duo of burger patties with sunny-side eggs, salsa, avocado crème, and Cajun tots.
