Canyon Rim Grill American • $
100 Cave of the Winds Rd, Manitou Springs

“Snack bar at a natural area / park / tourist destination? It’s actually pretty good. Portions are decent. Staff is very friendly and focused on getting you to the ride / tour you’ve scheduled. The dining area is enormous with beautiful panoramic views.

Kid-friendliness: This place has a lot of kid activities and the menu was great for little kids who need some food. Chicken fingers, burgers, fries, etc.“

“Cozy diner that serves breakfast and lunch. It seems that only one person was running the place himself, but he was doing a great job! He welcomed us from the kitchen and told us to sit wherever we like. After we ordered, the food came out quickly and we ate it just as fast! It was so good that we came here two mornings in a row! We had the breakfast burrito and chocolate pancakes. It wasn't busy, and we snagged a close parking spot. Will be going back every time we are in Manitou Springs!“
