Restaurants near Grand Lake

“Amber went above and beyond for me! Every year I do the Holiday Craft show and every year, I come over on Friday night for my all-you-can-eat crab legs. You've been part of my tradition for over a decade. This year I needed to bring my service dog with me so I called a week before to see if I could reserve a corner table for us. (you were very accommodating of that - thank you!) Well, on Friday afternoon I started fading and not doing well and was considering cancelling my reservation. Then a sweet woman stops at my table wearing one of your logo shirts! I told her I had a reservation for after the show but was considering cancelling because I wasn't doing so great. That amazing woman offered to bring me my food! To the craft show, across the street!!! She called the restaurant for me and I placed my order, and Amber went over there and brought it back for me!!! I was stunned and am still deeply touched that someone would go to such lengths for a customer. Five stars for sure!!!”

“We enjoyed our coffee with a delicious elderberry filled croissant and an equally delicious cinnamon roll. The proprietor, Shane, was friendly and very knowledgeable about the area and things to do and see. We enjoyed chatting with him for quite a bit. His sweet Tiki helped ease the missing of my own dog. 😊 Eclectic products to purchase. Definitely a place to step into.”

“Hit or miss over the last 10 years, but I think management found a groove!

I ordered $120 worth of food yeaterday over the phone; very complicated order, basically everything on the menu:
2 pizzas - complicated toppings (yum)
Garlic breads + sauces (yum)
Battered zucchini (yum)
Greeek salad - family size (yum)

The order was waiting for me in 15 mins. It was perfect! I left a big tip.

It's not easy throwing all that together; they did it perfect, and it was delicious. I fed 6 people, all were happy.

Go to Grand Pizza 2026”

“Incredible staff, drinks and food. Group I was with all had a blast. Perfect place to chill. A must stop when your in Grand Lake”

“My husband & I love The Rapids restaurant. It’s our go to when we want a wonderful meal. The food is top notch & Tatiana is such a special lady & makes the dining experience that much better. The Chef, Max, never disappoints. It’s the cutest setting. I look forward to eating outside by the river as the weather gets nicer. A++ from me. If you want a great meal & special dining experience go here! 😊”

“The food is great and the team is amazing!”

“Very disappointed, my girlfriend went to Polly's Sweet shop for years. It was always very good I guess. But it has gone downhill. We ordered ice cream yesterday and I recognized mine was just ice cream off the shelf at the store. I know that because it was Blue Bunny salted caramel with the little caramel bunnies. One of my favorite ice creams. Disappointed that this place doesn't even make their own ice cream anymore and advertises it as "homemade"”

“Food is great.”

“My family and I are visiting outside of town and we found a hidden gem! The food, drinks, and service were amazing. I would recommend everyone try the Grand Manor!”

“They only serve cocktails, so I'll say a 5 star on food, meaning drinks. We LOVED this place. The gal running it has created great drinks. Our favorite was the Pomegranate martini. We tried the mule and the spicey margarita too. Everything was great, and the people are wonderful. Sit outside and enjoy! The cocktails aren't overly expensive, but we did have a few, so I'd say we spent quite a bit by the end of the night.”

“Great place to grab a drink and a bit to eat! The owner, and bartender were fun to talk to, and really gives that small town all are welcome kind of vibe”

“Took the family to Sly Fox for Prime Rib Saturday night. The Prime Rib was perfection! We all ate like Kings & Queens and enjoyed everything down to the potatoes. The kids loved watching the hummingbirds visit on the deck. Great place for a tasty, filling meal and you can't beat the gorgeous views of the mountains and the golf course.”

“Ray was our bartender/server/surrogate mom for the evening, and she made our night an 11/10. The food was great, the drinks were exceptional, and Ray's attention made my husband's 40th birthday.”

“We called to check of they were open and were told they were. A few minutes later, we showed up with a party of six. The one employee there told us she had the other staff call out so she was on her own and this was only taking online orders. But since she'd told us they're open, she sat us and served us. We always come here as the pizza and wings are great! And they make a mean Long Island Iced Tea! 😉”

“Amazing chai tea 😍 great customer service and fast.”

“The burger is ok. The fries are fantastic. A locals bar that is open late. Meet everyone who actually lives and works at the other restaurants in town after hours.”

“Charlie was my favorite there so much variety of food and drinks we were there for the buffalo barbeque days. We meet the owner loved her and Christian great people. Remember cuz Jeff Martinez family. Thanks for a great time!!”

“Eclectic atmosphere and excellent food. The churrasco with rice, beans, and plantains was delicious. The service was prompt and very warm. Would certainly come back!”
