12 Best American Restaurants in Crested Butte

“THE best meal we had in Crested Butte this trip! Grounded in the owner’s great-grandmother’s sourdough starter (named “Trisha”, because OF COURSE), this woman-owned gem is deliciousness at every turn. From the sourdough with black garlic butter to the house-made pasta to the flatbreads and finally bread pudding, everything was PERFECTION - well balanced, indulgent, DELICIOUS. And the wait staff were awesome too (thanks, Abby!). Don’t miss this spot!“

“We had a great experience at The Hideout! We were seated right away and had Remington as our server. He was attentive, kind, and convinced us to get a pitcher of their delicious strawberry basil drink. The chicken sandwich was yummy and the shoestring fries with the chili crunch ranch sauce was even yummier!! Would 100% recommend!“

“Friendly, quality, homey, fun. We’re lucky to have The Wooden Spoon in our CB South community. Can’t beat grill master Evan!“

“Without a doubt, the best food and service I have experienced. Thier Tasting Menu was superb.“

“Just my unbiased opinion. Absolutely delicious!“

“What an incredible experience. We loved the ability to ski and ski out. The people were all really nice and the food was great. A hidden gem. We recommend definitely a bucket list item you should do. Compare to experiences at some of the other restaurants, we found the prices reasonable.“

“Came here all the way from South Carolina to meet my grandpa, who lives in Crested Butte. Anyway, we decided to eat at this restaurant, our server was very funny and kind and had a great personality! We ordered the 2nd course fried chicken, the service was kind of slow but the chicken was worth the wait, it was fresh, juicy, and seasoned to perfection. I loved the sides that came with it, especially the cream corn. For desert, we had ice cream sandwiches which were just as good! My only complaint is the price!! It is very expensive and for just 2 people, we paid over 100 dollars for fried chicken! If you have the money, I definitely recommend this place but if you want a cheap budget meal, this place is definitely not for you.“

“Service and atmosphere were great, food was solid diner breakfast stuff (which is not a bad thing at all if that’s what you’re going for/need!). Nothing special or fancy, just the staples. Omelette was solid, hash browns over the top, biscuit was sub par.“

“We have been on vacation in Crested Butte and checked online to see if there were any available public tee times. I spoke to one of the pros a few weeks ago and he said that there was a member / guest tournament on 7/23/22 and to check back when we were in town because some public tee times would usually open up. There was a spot open for 3 players at 2:30pm. So we called the club and Maddie was very helpful and reserved the time for us. Once we got to the club we walked into the pro shop and one of the other staff members went to get the lady who was running the pro shop. As soon as Erin walked in she was confused as to why we were there as non members and how we were able to get a tee time today. Keep in mind the 2:30pm slot was listed as a public tee time on their website. She said we could still play but kept reiterating that it was a mistake that we were able to book a tee time. She did this at least 4 to 5 times making a scene in the pro shop. Erin was clearly trying to make us feel not welcome which she did a great job at! We finally just decided to cancel the tee time and leave. We have played at many other resort town golf courses such as Keystone, EagleVail, Beaver Creek and NEVER had this awful of an experience. Every other course we have played was so hospitable and welcoming as every course should be. We were very disappointed with how poorly we were treated by Erin. People with that kind of attitude should not be in the hospitality business. Every other staff member we came in contact with was extremely kind and helpful, that’s the way it should be. It’s sad how one under qualified staff member can ruin someone’s experience! As a small business owner myself, I would never treat any customer or potential customer the way Erin treated our group. It was extremely unprofessional and rude.“

“Glad ... so glad ur in south CB!! Always enjoy!!!“

“We stopped in at 8:30pm on October 5th tired and weary from a long day of hiking. Even though they were closing at 9pm they treated us like we were the first customers of the day. Highly recommend and next fall we will definitely return. PS. The food is outstanding.“

“Highly recommend! Third time I have used Flat Iron for my ski rentals. Their staff is amazing, so friendly and energetic, they want to make sure you make the most out of you ski trip. They are very knowledge and make sure you rental is on par with your ability. Location is convenient, right by the Red Lady lift. Have lockers to store items and valet to keep your skis on site so you are not carrying them back and forth. Just don’t forget your claim ticket or you will be the “singer” 🤩 Will use on my next trip to CB!“
