40 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Estes Park

“Best burger I’ve had in a long time! Fast friendly service.“

“Great diner! This is a wonderful spot for brunch. They have great food with a classic American diner feel. Even during the brunch rush, they were able to serve our food quickly. Estes Park does not have very many restaurants, but Notchtop is a great addition to the scene.“

“Enjoyed another great brunch at Seasoned - An American Bistro. The bistro salad is always perfect!! The grits are the best I’ve ever had! Everyone should come and enjoy brunch on Sunday or dinner at Seasoned!!“

“Great food! Our waiters name was Surendra. He was very friendly and patient...couldn't ask for more.“

“I have a new favorite BBQ place! The ribs were fork tender, did not need a knife at all. Green beans, corn muffin, and baked beans were amazing, great portions. We will definitely come back next time we're in Denver!😃“

“Wonderful atmosphere wonderful staff and great food! Baran our server was amazing!“

“After eating at soooo many high-priced restaurants around Estes Park, and pretty much loving every place we visited, but trying to eat at as many as possible before returning home, we hit this place the NIGHT before we left. Mostly because it was the only place still open and very close to where we were staying at Valhalla Resort. WHAT A HUGE MISTAKE!!! WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN EATING HERE ALL ALONG!!! The Elk Burgers melted in our mouths, the onion rings and mushrooms were spot on and plentiful, and the late-night service was polite and speedy!! Don't waste too much money eating at all the other places. Our only regret was not trying these guys first, as I doubt I would have eaten ANYWHERE else after dining here!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!“

“All of our meals were excellent. I had the trout with polenta. Huge filet, great polenta and veggies. I am going to give special praise for one item. I drink only decaf coffee. Most restaurants, if they even serve it, don't care much about the quality. Here it was served at the table in a French press, and it was some of the best coffee I have ever had.
The chocolate cheesecake was awesome also. My favorite meal during our trip to Estes Park, and there were a lot of excellent ones.“

“Amazing‼️🤩 GRILLED CHICKEN SALAD👀🙌 We had a long day hiking and wanted to pick up supper to carry back to our cabin. This was hands down the best grilled chicken salad I’ve ever had in my #56 years!💯 It was so fresh-avocado, corn, beans, tomatoes, cilantro, cheese, onions and crunchy tortilla strips with ranch dressing 😋“

“Mountain Home Cafe is my favorite for breakfast and lunch - always with great service - in Estes Park for many years. Fresh fruit and vegetables, and fresh hamburger, too, are served here. Biscuits and gravy is a crowd pleaser along with Alaska baked oatmeal, waffles, Swedish rollups, country fried steak, corn beef hash, and an assortment of breakfast combinations and skillet breakfasts. Not to mention Eggs Benedict :::: including California Benedict with avocado, and Mexican Benedict.“

“Casual atmosphere, friendly and efficient staff, quick seating (even with a line), and WONDERFUL food!“

“Yep is was fantastic!!! so many different choices there was both flavored and traditional, both bourbon and whiskey, and then my favorite flavored one however was the winter I surprisingly also like the fire I thought the honey was a little too sweet for me. Definitely something I think you would be sipping or maybe even possibly doing a shot of but the other flavors were fantastic. Definitely go check it out. It’s only available at this location and nowhere else so it’s a good idea to get something Colorado traditional as gifts for that special someone“

“We had our rehearsal dinner here and it was WONDERFUL! They had us outside under some tents, right in the heart of downtown Estes Park. The new food menu was incredible, we were able to sample some of everything (my favorite being the wild game board). Tera was so kind and helpful the entire time we were there, especially when it was supposed to be her day off! I would recommend this to anyone wanting to put on an event, or even just a casual dinner consisting of small plates. Also, the wine was good and reasonably priced“

“Food is insane! Filet cuts with a fork and there’s no better drinks in town! I am definitely a al fresco girl so would like a better set up for outdoor dining but other than that 5🌟’s!“

“Last visit to Estes Park was 6 years ago and Antonio's was recomend after a hike to Flat Top Mountain..would travel back from central Texas just for a slice.“

“Amazing beer, dog friendly, and supports live local music!“

“We were skeptical because of recent reviews, but they are way off. Food came out hot and delicious. Drinks from Zac at the bar were not watered down like other establishments we visited here in Estes. They have a new manager who took the time to introduce herself and let us know she was there if we needed anything. Our server was Jessica, and She was very attentive. Our steaks were prepareda perfect med rare. Thank you, Nicky's for a great evening.“

“This is a best restaurant in Estes park . I always there after my hiking on Friday . Every thing I have ordered was so delicious. Make me think about back home to Thailand .“

“Amazing food, atmosphere and very attentive waiter. We had Amir as our waiter and he frequently checked on us. We sat outside and the ambiance was so peaceful. The food was fantastic and quick. We ordered the Colorado brisket nachos and RMO and never had anything better. The paradise punch and Old Fashioned hit the spot with our all day mountain adventures. We even met the owner Mr. Nelson. You have got to stop at this little piece of paradise. I promise you won’t be disappointed. A million stars is what we give Wapiti. Keep up the phenomenal work. Can’t wait to come back.“

“Great local microbrewery, built into an old service station. Cool local vibe, great beers and friendly staff.“

“Was there over the weekend. Great food and amazing staff, especially the manager on duty Sunday morning. Friendly, and the bacon bloody is to die for!“

“Great food! We will be back.“

“The food is delicious. You get more than you can eat. One guy sitting across from us said it was the best chicken fried steak he had ever had. I ordered blueberry pancake. More blueberries than pancake. The last time I had a pancake like that was in Maine!! The owner is nice to her employees. We come here every time we are in town.“

“The food is absolutely fantastic! The staff is very friendly and courteous, and we can't wait to go back!“

“Our current favorite restaurant! We live on the front range and visit multiple times per month. Great food & service at an affordable price.“

“I lived down the street and ate here as often as I could. Best place to eat with everyday prices in Estes!“

“Can't go wrong with a good slice of pizza! Would recommend! Met all the Charles Boyle pizza ranking standards with an added bonus of great sauce and a nice garlic drizzle on the crust. This place came through for the win with being open later then other Estes businesses on a Saturday night. It's attached to the distillery which also had tasty post-hike digestifs!“

“Not sure why this doesn’t have higher reviews! I was hesitant at first but their burgers are super good. Even their kids meal burgers are high quality. And my wife and I are foodies! It was in our hotel is really the only reason we went and we were very pleasantly surprised!“

“They have some of the best salsa and queso I’ve had in Colorado. Everything we ate was delicious. Highly recommend!“

“We just ate there Labor Day 2025 we had a salad with salmon it was great!!! The waitress Una was kind and professional and made us feel welcome!!! Thanks!!!💞“

“great place to eat new owners are fantastic. they did a great job revamping the place. we drive an hour into town just to eat here. the pies are 🤌. also the new jalapeño poppers burger is fantastic as well. we get taken care of very well when we come up 10/10 recommend.“

“We visit whenever we make it to Estes. The staff are AMAZING! The burgers are good. The day we went it was busy but an amazing staff member was working through the busy line with a tablet to reduce wait time. My 7 year old got a shake and spilled it 5 minutes in. They remade the shake free of charge which was entirely unexpected and beyond appreciated. We will always go back.“

“Great food , great place .“

“My brother and I stopped in last weekend to see if they allowed dogs on the patio (they do), but the patio had just closed for the season for service. Laura, the hostess, suggested that we could get takeout and eat outside if we wanted, and as it was a gorgeous, not-too-cold day, we took her up on it. She brought out our food and drinks just as we were getting up to pick them up ourselves, and she checked back on us a couple of times. WAYYYYYY beyond the call of her duty, and she was as nice as can be. AND she brought treats for the doggo! Oh, and my brother's chicken pot pie lunch special and my veggie pizza were both absolutely delicious! Highly recommend Poppy's -- ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Great food, great bartender, just a fun chill environment. I had the lobster Mac and cheese and it was amazing!! Highly recommend!“

“We had a great meal at The Grubsteak today. Great service, good portions and delicious food!“

“Great place to eat in Estes Park! This adorable family-owned and operated authentic restaurant was exactly what we were looking for. Quick, healthy, delicious. Waiter was such a sweetheart and it felt good knowing we were supporting a family business in such a touristy location. Highly recommend!“

“💯 muy rico todo comida y margaritas 😋“

“Me and the family were visiting from Texas. Christa was our bartender. All I got to say is SHE IS AMAZING! Such a good girl and a great bartender. My drinks were pretty peculiar as i ordered an Old Pal, Grasshopper and a Brandy Alexander and she made them perfectly! I wish I could have a Christa down in Texas LOL! Anyways she provided great service and is simply unforgettable!“

“The cheese board had great presentation and everything on it was delicious. My husband had the prime rib with mashed potatoes and broccolini and I had the burrata salad - I LOVED mine as well as the mashed potatoes. Husband said the prime rib was good but didn't care for the au jus that came with it - overall though he was VERY happy. Obviously everyone wants to sit at the bar for a drink but most people park there for quite a time so that's not possible - ideally they would have a one drink rule for the bar but it is what it is. Our server, Lev, was fantastic. Great personality and was very patient with my questions. Overall had a great experience and would definitely come back again if we come back to the area.“
