50 Best American Restaurants in Fort Collins

“Always delicious! I love the change up in the menu. Happy hour seafood and drink deals are awesome 👏“

“Had a great time with my daughters. Food was delicious!“

“We were treated so wonderfully! Knowledgeable staff walked us through each dish and recommendations from appetizers to desserts. Everything was prepared to perfection and was so flavorful and rich. And even though we were stuffed we had to have dessert! The four of us each ordered something and shared and it was on point! We will absolutely be back! Our server Arianna and the GM Kyle made our night and each get 5 stars! Thank you so much for the best night :)“

“Very nice place! Good food and friendly service. A must-stop for anyone in Ft. Collins!“

“We have been looking for a new 'go-to' place in Ft Collins, and this is it! We out regularly, and this was the best meal we have had out in a long time. The salad and soup were herby nutty, and well balanced, and the Prime Ribeye was perfect. Even the fingerling potatoes had a charred-grilled twist that we hadn't experienced before, and loved it. The wait and cook staff were the best! We look forward to coming back soon.“

“Too many choices. Will definitely be back!“

“We love The Farmhouse and it did not disappoint this time either. Brought friends from out of town and they really enjoyed it. We had the chicken sandwich (enormous and delicious), the roasted chicken, the risotto and the grouper. Everything was so very good. The service is laid back but efficient and the prices are very reasonable. This is a must go for anyone who likes a good meal!“

“I would like to give a review about Isaiah and Leah. Leah had great customer service and the atmosphere was welcoming Leah was very patient well taking our order .Isaiah has a wonderful and joyful spirit and is very great at his job, we just wanted to leave a review because they were SOO wonderful thank you“

“Everything was perfect. Great food from starters to entree’s. Enjoyed my meal and coffee stout beer. Good service as well!“

“I love this place! There are so many yuppie restaurants in Fort Collins, Ever Open Cafe is a nice, throwback, greasy spoon diner alternative to them. No gimmicks, no virtue signaling, no out of touch nonsense. Just a good place to get affordably priced American food in a laid back, comfortable atmosphere.“

“Nothing but love, art, inclusion, tasty food & drinks, in this place!!!!“

“Went here on a double date and had a pretty good experience overall. The restaurant was clean and smelled great, but it was surprisingly dark inside — even though it was still sunny out, the lighting felt a bit too dim for our taste. The food was excellent and tasted super fresh, which almost made up for the higher prices. Drinks were definitely on the expensive side compared to nearby spots. That said, the service was friendly and attentive. If you're okay with paying a little more for great quality food, it's worth checking out.“

“I just got off my flight to DEN, drove an hour and a half, arrived right before the kitchen closes at 9 pm. They served me and made me the highest quality bison short rib that a man can ask for. I enjoyed how soft the meat was, the carrots, the potatoes and topped it off with ice cream/cookies. Definitely worth the food.“

“Very friendly waiters, food was very delicious.“

“Great food, friendly staff, good beer….cool atmosphere!!!“

“Great food and friendly atmosphere keep up the good work.“

“bad service but we like the chicken and ribs so we order take out. tonight we had a salad in our takeout which was awful and full of previously frozen and wilted lettuce. Called to speak to a manager to let them know to check their salad. on hold for 20 min...then they picked up and hung up on me. 3 strikes you are out. incredibly poor service for a guest service industry. and now after posting I do NOT recommend, this posts as I recommended...haha. do yourself a favor and stay away“

“The best waitress there very kind and helpful attentive very plesent lady all the girls that work there are good they all deserve a big raise they work hard l would definitely go back l give them a ,10 thank you“

“For any of the reviews that are saying less than stellar, y’all must’ve gone to the wrong place!! On our four day vacation we had breakfast here three days. The food is so good, servings are huge and the service is above reproach. We had rachel every time by pure chance and she was amazing!“

“The tacos are amazing! Love the new location with it's fresh, clean look, too. We tried 5 different tacos and loved them all - they have all the traditional choices along with several creative selections. The staff and service was friendly and attentive. Just go :)“

“My wife had a wonderful date night at The Emporium. The food was great like always. Service was very good as well. The nicest thing about the restaurant was that it was nice and quiet. We were able to have a conversation with out a loud droning of music or other conversations.“

“Best brewery in the neighborhood!“

“It's a 😎 joint. The bartender was rushing us, and when you have a hundred beers, you need some time. I ordered my mac and cheese with no hatch chilies. He said they could make that happen. It didn't happen. The chilies were cooked in it. However, I asked for a hot dog cut up and mixed with the M&C, and they did that. Hubby loved his Ruben and fries. They use rice oil to fry foods. Hubby can't have soy oil; he was super happy about that“

“very friendly staff, we drive from Casper wyoming and enjoy stopping every time we are in town. they have the best sweet tea in the west (coming from a former southerner)“

“Really awesome in every way! As good as the Rio!!“

“Great beer selection, atmosphere, and tasty food, but even better, the nicest people! Nichole took great care of us this evening - thank you!

Vegetarian options: Their apple salad is genuinely really tasty - a good veg option.“

“We’re visiting from out of town and they have the best breakfast and service! Highly recommend!“

“Excellent service! Excellent, delicious food!“

“The best best best place for a good hard cider! Any time I go to Colorado, I make sure to stop by. Love the flights and the flavors as well as the atmosphere. 1,000 percent recommend!!“

“This place is an excellent escape from the college bar atmosphere!!! They have a very knowledgeable staff and I have been made amazing drinks that aren't even on the menu just from having conversations with the staff on different drink options.
They have fun events to attend throughout the year such as whiskey classes, pumpkin carving and St. Patrick Day celebrations!!
And the bacon!!!!“

“We had a party of 5. Wasn't any problem getting service or a seat at 4:30/5:00 on a Saturday. Service was above and beyond (maybe too much attention) and the food is always good here. The atmosphere was nostalgic because of the artwork on the walls. I actually brought a car here for a repair estimate way back in the 90's when it was a filling station. Overall really good experience.“

“The staff at Ace Gillett’s is what makes it truly exceptional, but their cocktails are as good as they come - and the food, delicious! It’s a place I consider home. Love it.“

“Whiskey neat, old fashions, Irish“

“We had a fantastic time at Penrose Taphouse for New Year's Eve with our two kids (8 and 5). The atmosphere was perfect-relaxed and just the right vibe for a chill, close-to-home celebration. I had the grilled salmon, which was delicious, and my husband enjoyed the Hanks Hot Honey fried chicken. For drinks, I had the Mule-Berry, which was made with vodka, strawberries, lime, and ginger beer. It was refreshingly balanced, not too sweet, which was a nice surprise. We loved every second of it and can’t wait to return!“

“We come here all the time, this will be the last time. I called at 12, party of 11 people, I was told to call back at 3 for a reservation at 4pm and talk to a manager. The manager told me they don't do call ahead on weekends and they also will not move tables together so my son's birthday party will need to sit at separate tables. Once we arrived they sat 4 separate parties that came after us. They then told us they would not seat us until more staff comes in, for 11 people. They went to seat us at 2 separate tables after waiting for 20 minutes. We then requested the big table in the back that sat all of us comfortably, and we are not small people. This was a joke. 2 of the steaks were inedible they had so much seasoning on them and my plate was drenched in oil. Horrible experience and manager. also there was a 10 month old puppy at the table next to us, sitting in the bench and barking. seriously disappointed. we have eaten here for years and sadly will not be back, we will drive to the one in Thornton“

“Thank you for the amazing food and service!! Our softball team from Oklahoma are here after a long tournament and we had such a great experience here!“

“Hubby & I just found this place and WIW! DO GOOD! I had the PB&J hamburger with sweet Potato fries and a Coconut Porter beer with lunch. Everything was absolutely delicious! Our server was above and beyond in her personality, help ordering and service. I wish I hot her name. She did print me a menu from another satellite restaurant as well. I will be back!!“

“First time at Fort Collins and mu husband want to try some different beer. We stopped for lunch. I had great chicken tenders! My husband did a sampling of 4 flight beers. Enjoyed all 4! He had the burnt end sandwich with sweet potato fries. Meal was great and the service was wonderful! Thank you!“

“Best wings in the whole world!!“

“it was a fun social event with plenty of good food choices - no matter your requirements! But definitely could use a few more trucks to make the lines a bit shorter. but totally worth the wait!“

“great drinks. fun, relaxing atmosphere“

“Awesome family owned tavern with great pizza and beer selection! Check it out!“

“Just went to the fort for my first time today.i got the peanut butter banana and it was a 10/10. Looks like they had some cooler coffee and tea options as well.

I happened to meet the owners when I was there and they gave me a smoking deal on the milkshake. Definitely check it out if you are in town.“
