28 Best American Restaurants near Minturn

“Good variety of cold beer and a great local place. Music is good and the wings and tries are excellent. It’s a hole in the wall so if you’re looking for luxury, this is not the place for you, but if you’re looking for comfort, food and good friends, this is the place. Our guy Vic was awesome!“

“Great dining experience. Long time local who has only been to the Saloon several times for happy hour, which is always fantastic. Had guests in town and thought this would be a nice dinner and experience and it was. Food was fabulous and remember the servings are very large. Also, killer mac and cheese“

“Too many great experiences to list… if ya know, YA KNOW! 🇺🇸🔥🥩🔥🇺🇸“

“Been to this nice restaurant many times and it’s always first class. Tonight my wife’s chicken was excellent. The wine was great. However, the Manhattan steak was not so good. The one that was brought out was extremely tough and even hard to cut into. Our lovely server offered to bring out a new one but I said I would fight through it. To her credit, she insisted on bringing out a new one and I asked for it to be Medallion cut. The replacement came out and should have been medium rare, but when I laid out the cuts it was simply very rare to raw with lots of fat as well. I simply refused to eat it and told her to just take it off the bill. To my surprise the wonderful Manager Dana immediately came over and admitted that they failed on the steak. He explained that they usually get great cuts from the provider, but recently not so much and he actually called the owner and told him they simply can’t be offering this kind of steak as this was not the first bad cut he has seen this evening. Dana did not charge me for the steak as well as the wine and offered a free desert. Dana did exactly what I’d expect a Manager to do in this caliber of a restaurant and that alone makes me want to come back again whichever we will do so!“

“Leonora, located inside The Sebastian Vail boutique hotel, is a gem for anyone seeking exceptional service and delicious cuisine. The staff goes above and beyond to make every dining experience memorable, pairing their warm hospitality with attention to detail. A must-try on the menu is the avocado toast—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Leonora’s inviting ambiance, combined with its standout dishes, makes it a perfect spot for a memorable meal in Vail. Highly recommended!“

“From the moment we entered, the staff was friendly and accommodating. We didn’t have reservations for dinner anywhere this evening and they were happy to squeeze us in. Famished from our active day and long search for a restaurant with availability, we were ready to get down to business. They had a few interesting options on their appetizer menu. We decided on the egg rolls and a couple of signature cocktails, which all came out pretty quick compared to the amount of time and care that was probably put into each. We had a hard time choosing entrees as we love pasta, cheese, and meat (who doesn’t??) but finally settled on the gnocchi and bolognese. Both great! So great that instead of stuffing ourselves of the large portion, we tried to stop so that we would have a meal-sized portion for leftovers. Keyword: tried. It was hard to stop eating! We managed to salvage some to enjoy later and our wonderful server Eliana (sp?) packed it up for us. Throughout the meal, our server came by, to check in and never let our water glasses come close to empty. They had some yummy donuts on display near the entrance. We commented on how adorable they were. The staff was quick to offer a few to us at no charge which was really nice. Sadly, we were just too full from our meal to accept. We didn’t partake this time, but we did see a number of people seemingly come in just to browse the wine and grab a bottle to take home. They had a pretty good selection. From the exceptional service to the decadent pasta dishes, we’re coming back for sure. How this place isn’t packed to the gills on a Saturday night, I have no idea! Keep up the good work, keep doing what you’re doing!“

“fabulous food with Fred the fantastic server!!“

“Went there for breakfast and lunch while in Vail. Food is fabulous and staff is friendly and professional. Highly recommend!!“

“Awesome service and menu. Andrew great with wine selections. Sat outside and thoroughly enjoyed our evening. Sorry we made you stay late. 🥰🥰🤣🤣“

“The best restaurant in Vail!“

“Very cool and hip place to hang out in Vail Village. Comfortable seating and friendly hosts. The Duck and Mushrooms Quesadillas were wonderful, and happy hour drinks were a good price. It's not a bad place for a hole in the ground.🙂“

“From a wedding photographer's perspective, you really can't beat the Larkspur wedding experience! Stunning mountain views all around, an incredibly beautiful and intimate reception space, and can host one heck of a party! We recently photographed a wedding in the fall at peak colors, and WOW! The whole valley was ablaze!“

“The Bully is usually fantastic. Unfortunately this time was kind of a disaster. We were running about 15 minutes behind. I tried calling the restaurant MULTIPLE times however no one was answering. I then received a cancellation notice just before we arrived at 15 minutes after our scheduled time. Ugh! When we walked in, at 17 minutes past our scheduled reservation, the host said sorry, I didn't have a phone at the host desk so you can't reach us. Therefore we cancelled your reservation. We waited another 40 minutes and were finally sat. The server seemed irritated by us likely due to some negative feedback from the host. Too bad. I've eaten here literally hundreds of times. Hopefully they can get things back in track since this is usually a wonderful spot.“

“What a fabulous lunch. Patrick our waiter was knowledgeable, courteous attentive and cute! The food was great too. Carrot honey chicken sandwich best ever! Elk meatball sub was excellent. Fries in duck fat, there are no words. Topped off with a dark chocolate, baby guava tart…..what can I say. All Patrick’s suggestions…thank you.“

“Awesome experience from great staff to amazing food and atmosphere.“

“Absolutely delicious food served consistently with a smile!! Really cool, fun interior that’s also comfortable for hanging out if you want to catch a game or meet up with friends! I highly recommend checking it out if you haven’t already but fair warning, once you have you’re going to crave their food - it’s that good!“

“Great spot for dinner and a good atmosphere with or without children. The lamb pops are a must among the other delicious food offerings. My party didn't bowl but we do plan to make it back for dinner and a little bowling fun on our next trip.“

“Awesome Angus Burger and huge basket of perfectly done Onion Rings - ask for a side of Mango Jabernero dip for the rings, you won't be disappointed. Bartender/Waiter was great and chef stopped by our table to see how we liked our food. 10 out of 10 stars. We'll done Mango's😎“

“I came to the Fireside Grill as part of package deal through the Nordic Center to go snowshoeing for several hours before capping the day off with a generous plate of wine and cheese AND dessert! The food was delicious and Lizzie took phenomenal care of me as I enjoyed my meal. Her kindness and attentiveness was much appreciated. I highly recommend this experience through the Nordic Center as well as the Fireside Grill for its excellent food and lovely staff.“

“Wonderful food and great setting!“

“Great atmosphere and food“

“We went here during happy hour for a friend's birthday and did a 'tapas' style dinner with the appetizer menu. Everything was delicious, the drinks were well mixed, and our server was great! We sat on the patio which had a beautiful view of the ski runs on mountain. This was before the snow, so I'm not sure if the patio is an option during the winter. Don't skip over this tucked-away gem!“

“It is expensive. It is worth every penny. The food is just amazing. It is a changing menu since it sourced by seasonal fare. Move from your taste comfort zone. You will not be disappointed. The food gets 5 stars by itself; however, the service makes it 6 stars. From the greeting at the gondola, to the snow cat ride up the rest of the way to the restaurant, to the coat check, all added positively to the experience. It simply wasn’t just dinner, but an experience. When you see the view, you’ll get it.“

“This place is awesome!!!! Went with a group of ten and this was our favorite part of the trip. Grant and his crew did everything to make us feel at home. The staff was among the best we had in Beaver Creek. Not spending some time here would be a huge mistake should you visit Batchelor Gulch!!!!“

“I was pretty disappointed this season with the limited options this time. The food is served apparently only some days.. then there's no wait staff I guess anymore, and as much as this place suppose to be bumpin' for any apres ski time they decide to close at 4pm or so.. blew my mind.. absolutely the most prime real estate .. the way its ran I guarantee they're hitting less than 50% of its potential revenue! [It's a very obvious observation] no entertainment just self order line. Please be better.. make Vail resorts $$ so ppl don't need to pay $300 day for skiing“

“Fabulous fun people and service at Mid Vail!!! The Beach @ Vail ��“

“Perfect ski lunch. Service and food were awesome. Our server, Alex, was fantastic and took care of our son's gluten-free requirement. The vibe is lively and a little loud, but it's perfect for the setting. We've been going to Buffalos since before it was Buffaloes. It is only getting better.“

“Beautiful view. Check out line on the deck was very slow and the manager is stingy.“
