Chris served us and it was great meeting him as a fellow East coaster! We ordered almost all of the burritos on the menu and were not disappointed! The smash burger was easily my favorite. My dad would order the meatball burrito for every meal, I swear, with how much he enjoyed it as well as my 1 year old eating half of one herself. My son did work on the nachos they were so tasty! When we get back to Vail, we'll be sure to stop in! great staff and food!”

“This place is so much fun! We had a girls trip this last week and went twice. The atmosphere was perfect, it was like a dive bar with great comfy seating. They had touch tunes so we got to play our own music (so fun) however, our only complaint is that there’s VERY limited country music options. Apparently the owner doesn’t want it to be a country bar but we’re just some Oklahoma girls wanting to play some of our fave tunes! If we could’ve played whatever we wanted I would give this place a 10/10. But for now, it is an 8.5/10. Regardless of the music limitations this place is great. We had the sweetest bartender both nights, Kaya. She made us feel so welcome and it was nice to see a familiar face when we came back. If you’re in town looking for a fun night out, this is the place to go. Maybe if we beg enough they’ll add some more country music to the touch tunes options????”

“Wow, one of the best restaurants on Vail mountain! For starters, this restaurant blew my mind away, especially it being 2 miles high! The pulled pork was so tender, the ribs were some of the best that I have ever had, the sauce is the bomb, and the prices were reasonable for Vail! Pro tip, use your epic pass if you have it, it will save you a drastic amount of money!

Vegetarian options: This is a bbq, so there is not many veggie dishes

Dietary restrictions: Very accommodating for dietary restrictions!

Parking: In terms of ski parking, there are many racks outside to “park” your skis. However, you can’t drive up to here!

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly!

Wheelchair accessibility: If you are on a wheelchair and are skiing, congratulations! It is for skiers!”

“Check in was at 4pm, not a minute earlier. But once you arrive at your room, it is extremely comfortable and beautifully decorated. We had a nice gas stove and all the amenities needed for laundry and cooking. Our family was super comfortable in a two bedroom apartment and had enough room for all their toys. The location is also the best in vail! you are seconds away from the village and all ice rink. We opted to stay on the non village side because we were worried about noise, however the other side (facing the highway) can be quiet noisy if you are a light sleeper. The pool/gym area was also a nice touch, with updated workout machines and bikes. We did have a little mishap with the concierge and our babysitter not showing up so we missed an excursion. The concierge desk was having trouble solving it, but the manager came in and handled it all swiftly to help make this feel like a five star vacation. We will be returning. xThank you!”

Revel 715 W Lionshead Cir, Vail American • $$$$

“We had the most amazing meal at Revel! The salmon with creamy leeks and Chardonnay braised turnips was spectacular—the subtle flavors were perfectly balanced with the leeks providing just the right amount of tang so it didn’t feel too rich. The braised beef was like butter; the savory vegetables it was braised in overnight gave a depth of flavor I’ve never tasted in beef before. The chocolate mousse for dessert…heavenly! The richness of the Belgian chocolate and vanilla bean cream had me moaning out loud.

The salmon is flown in from Norway and the beef is raised locally. I think this goes to show that if you start with fresh, pure ingredients and put them in the hands of a talented chef you can make the simplest of foods taste exceptional.

I just ate at a James Beard award winning restaurant last month and I can honestly say it was no comparison to our meal at Revel! I can’t wait to go back!”

Bully Ranch Restaurant 20 Vail Rd, Vail American • $$

“Not sure why this place is a 4.3…..it should be much higher! Staff was fantastic - showed up with two unhappy campers, and the wait staff immediately asked if we wanted to order the kids’ food. I very much appreciate any restaurant who understands the challenges of dealing with hungry children. The food was fantastic, the drinks were great - just an overall positive and lovely experience. Will visit again!!”

Elway's Located Upstairs in The Lodge at Vail, 174 Gore Creek Dr, Vail Steak House • $$$$

“My husband and I stopped in for an early dinner in Vail last night. We just wanted a quick bite to eat at the bar area. I got the wedge salad that was great, just know their salad dressing is very zesty. My husband got the smash burger with truffle fries. Let me just say, I will come back to this restaurant for this. Both were absolutely perfect. 👌 I also ordered a glass of sparkling rose from the zero proof menu. It was a wonderful selection of both wine, cocktails, and zero proof choices. The sommelier stopped by our table and we gave him our compliments. Service was wonderful. The only reason for the four stars is that it is off season right now, so be aware of that. There’s also construction and maintenance going on everywhere in Vail right now.”

Vendettas Restaurant 291 Bridge St, Vail Italian • $$

“My family and I still talk about this pizza. It’s the best pizza we have ever had (including NYC - I know, throw the tomatoes at me now but its true).
The crust - oh the crust! The toppings too. I seriously may go back to Vail just for the pizza.

I will say, service was not that good. Our server’s personality apparently called in sick that day. But the rest was awesome.”

Their service is top-notch—always friendly, timely, and welcoming. The pizza? Absolutely unbeatable, with fresh ingredients and that perfect balance of flavor and crust. Whether you’re grabbing a bite after a day on the slopes or ordering in, they never disappoint. If you want great food and a place that treats you right, Pazzo’s is the place to go!”

Yama Sushi 168 Gore Creek Dr, Vail Sushi • $$$

“We love Yama every time we go. We were just looking for some good food after a hard day working while enjoying vail to the fullest. It satisfied every need. Pat the manager does a great job. Maya the 5* server is super knowledgeable and detailed; shes a reason alone to keep coming back. Juan the Chef is a true Pro, we love his work and will come back as much as possible just for him. I recommend the Costa Rica roll.
9.9/10 all around.”
