44 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Minturn

“LOVE THIS PLACE! Food is delicious, staff is awesome and accommodating, and atmosphere is fun. Highly recommend!“

“Highly recommend! Our family traveling with special dietary needs, incredible sincerely caring and welcoming staff led by Tambo went above and beyond to make sure we were well fed and taken care of. Brisket “better than Mission” per my culinary picky tween. Personally loved the short ribs and surprisingly the cole slaw was amazing ! Good Food Good Peeps“

“The bagel with vegan cream cheese was soooo good, there are not many places with vegan options around, so this is a good find! I also had one of the smoothies and the gf blueberry muffin, it was delicious! My fiance had eggs😄 Updated from previous review on 2025-07-18“

“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“

“My husband met the owner on the gondola one day and told us all about First Chair. We made it out for dinner and drinks with the kids a few days later. Chris served us and it was great meeting him as a fellow East coaster! We ordered almost all of the burritos on the menu and were not disappointed! The smash burger was easily my favorite. My dad would order the meatball burrito for every meal, I swear, with how much he enjoyed it as well as my 1 year old eating half of one herself. My son did work on the nachos they were so tasty! When we get back to Vail, we'll be sure to stop in! great staff and food!“

“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!“

“Wish we had found this place earlier in our holiday. The food was amazing. Service great. Lovely atmosphere. We had our leftovers boxed up too. Kids meals $7.49 and filling. Says you need to pay to park but actually the first 3 hours are free just need to register. Would highly recommend.“

“Great Detroit Style Pizza! Picnic tables nearby to eat at and there is also a little splash pad nearby if there in the summer.“

“We've lived in Vail part >> full-time for 3 years now and found this gem last week. And, WOW, I'm so glad we did. As a family of four, sometimes we need takeout which is a struggle in Vail and this place nailed it. The food was delicious. The price was appropriate. And, the convenience was awesome. Honestly, I was impressed across the board and am so glad we found it. No question this will be our go-to Thai / Chinese restaurant from now on.“

“Food was great overall, and the ambiance was wonderful. The service was prompt and food arrived very quickly. The only thing that slightly disappointed me was the side salad as I was hoping for a more traditional Austrian or a German salad with pickled veggies and vinegarette. All the other food was delicious. We will definitely go back.“

“The quality of their food is not good, it's very bad.“

“Beer is on point and perfect place to chill after a day out on the slopes or hiking.“

“The food is beyond exquisite, the environment , the views, the service, the options, everything amazing 💯.“

“2nd time eating here. Service was ok but not attentive. The lamb gyro was not what was expected. We think of gyros as thin slices of meat while what we got was shaped like a sausage. And it was hotter (spicer) than expected. The biscuit with the ham and hot pepper jelly was just ok, but smaller than the $6 cost would justify. The clam chowder was the only part of the meal that was above average.“

“As usual an excellent meal.“

“Excellent breakfast burritos and possibly the best hazelnut latte ever!“

“On the receipt it said our server was Raul. He was awesome and made an iced espresso that my girlfriend thought was much better than Starbucks. The coffee creation was on the house… even the second one. The breakfast was very good and priced fairly. Because of it all, left a little over 50% tip and happy. Well done.“

“Sloppy joe and beer. It really made my day eating a mean joe after a long flight. Quick easy bite, perfect for kids, families, or just a group looking to grab a drink. A charming bar full of decor and memorabilia really made it a place to remember!

Plus they had a whole courtyard to themselves in the front with several tables for enjoy the outside too.“

“Bob's place is the 1# best restaurant to eat at in Avon co. very excellent service when we were ready to order, they came in a timely manner to to take it down to put it into the kitchen. Our waitress kept on checking on us and kept on getting us drinks. She was spot on excellent great lunch options. I ordered the grilled chicken honey mustard sandwich with fries when I took a bite of the sandwich and a bite of the fries. It was super delicious. If you are new to this town check out bob's place in order the honey mustard chicken sandwich with fries. Best #1 sandwich I would say my opinion.“

“Cool place. Seated quick. Took a while for a waiter to grace our table. We both got burgers. They were ok. Performed patty. Probably a frozen one. Fries were weirdly crunchy. I don’t like limp fries but overly crunchy is just weird. I always prefer hand cut fries.“

“Delicious good and upscale vibe.“

“Oh my gosh this restaurant is absolutely fantastic!!!! I’m so happy I’ve found it and I will be a regular here for sure! The food is so fresh and the servings are huge..the atmosphere is clean and spacious and the service is outstanding! Yay I found my new favorite restaurant in Avon!!“

“One of our favorite spots to hit whenever we’re in Vail Village. Love sitting outside and having a drink or two. Great food and very friendly staff. Just a wonderful place 😊“

“Went with Friends. Great food.“

“Our family of 4 ate at Sauce on the Creek a few nights ago and loved it! Our waiter Scott was wonderful and super attentive. The food was delicious! We started with the shrimp scampi, scallops Florentine, and fried ravioli, then ordered some house bread to dip in the sauces - yum! Kids had fettuccine alfredo and another order of fried ravioli, my husband had the spicy shrimp spaghetti, and I had the eggplant parm, which was some of the best I've ever had! Hoping to visit again before we leave town!“

“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!“

“Absolutely loved. Our server Johnie was laid back and knowledgeable. Heirloom tomato salad was outstanding (cucumbers, avocado, local cherries, Serrano chiles ...), can't say enough. Also loved the scallops and seared Tuna. Most skilled food prep we've had out in a long time.“

“Great Vail atmosphere style Cafe. I found the coffee itself to be very good - actually served hot which I like. They also have freshly squeezed orange juice which was nice. Overall great Vail spot for coffee and just feeling the Vail spirit.“

“I’ve purchased your coffee a number of times at a few places in Summit. Yesterday, I needed some caffeine in a drive to Aspen. Remembering that I had seen signs for your café at the Minturn exit off of 70, I stopped in. Great little spot with excellent service. The cortado gave me the energy I needed to get to Aspen, meet with my customer, then go for a 3 mile hike and drive back to Dillon. Somehow I didn’t realize that you had your own teas as well. Lapsang souchong has been a favorite of mine for a long time… used to order it from Republic of Tea. But they stopped selling that a few years ago. I was absolutely thrilled to find that not only is there a place to get it, but even better, I can support a local business. AND, the price is really good. Your lapsang souchong is now something that I will always have in my kitchen. I’m also looking forward to coming back some time when I can sit in the café and have a snack.“

“Great food, beer and service!“

“We really love their pizza. They also introduced a desert pizza that was one of the tastiest desserts ever created. Highly recommend it!“

“Avocado toast with a side of breakfast potatoes...can't go wrong! 😋💜👍“

“Good service. Decent food.“

“We made this our special dinner for our time in Vail...and Elways did not disappoint. I had the short rib, and it was literally the best I've ever had. Fall apart tender, great tasting au jus, awesome creamy horse radish sauce. We also had the halibut. Not cheap...but the food, service, and atmosphere were perfect.“

“Our stay over New Year for our kids first ski trip was one of the best resort stays we have ever had. From pre-arrival planning by Dustin the concierge, to all the staff on site, and all the ways Dustin and the rest of the concierge staff assisted us while we were there, this was such an amazing stay. First, our suite was a great setup, with plenty of room for us to spread out. They setup a tent for the girls to play in and gave them some toys. Quite literally every request we had was met and exceeded. We love that there are multiple restaurants at this property. Over a long stay it gives a variety. Our only wish was that the sushi restaurant had more than just sushi. A few other Japanese dishes would make that an option for us. We just aren't sushi fans, and certainly the kids aren't. But we love Buffalos and Wyld. We also had an excellent experience with the photo concierge. We got excellent pictures and it was a fun memory. And what can I say about the spa?! One of the best there is. Great massages, and the grotto is of course amazing. But really all of the relaxing areas of the spa are just that-- relaxing. It was our first time here for a ski trip. We've been at other times of year. We will continue to return to this property. It just keeps getting better!“

“We stopped by the Fitz Bar + Bites after the concert at the amphitheater. They (Vail) were also hosting the Jazz Festival so they had an exceptional jazz improv going on. We snacked on cheese bites and other munchies while enjoyed the outstanding music. What a phenomenal weekend of talent, music and food.“

“The French Toast Croissants were delicious.“

“Excellent mexican food. Their queso is made in-house and is so creamy and tasty.

Parking: The restaurant is in one of the hotels and parking is not available unless you are staying at the hotel. However, there is parking and a garage, but it is a bit of a walk.“

“Delicious pho & best meatballs I’ve ever had“

“Great place to meet for larger groups. New seasonal menu, tasty fare, friendly servers. Bartender Frank was very attentive, ask Tyler about his new drink, "Camp Fire Mule, and Isabel always happy to serve you.

Vegetarian options: Falafel“

“One of the best places in Vail for live music. Phil is ALWAYS entertaining, the staff is friendly, food is great and the drinks are generous.“

“Cute coffee shop with a real good spread of pastries and donuts. Got a lot of indoor and outdoor space but is also quite popular with tourists. Service is quick and would certainly recommend the donuts and croissants. Coffee could be stronger.“

“Brad, my server, was absolutely fantastic guy, not only service was great but he was a great communicator and wanted me to come back with his graciousness! Thanks bud it's guys like you who make restaurants successful along with good food 🥑🥝“

“Vendetta’s is hands down one of the best spots in town. The pizza is absolutely top tier — crispy crust, perfectly balanced sauce, and toppings that taste fresh every single time. It’s the kind of pie that keeps you coming back after just one slice. On top of that, the bartenders here are some of the friendliest and most skilled around. They’ve got the perfect balance of speed, personality, and great recommendations whether you’re after a craft beer, a cocktail, or just something simple. Between the food, the drinks, and the atmosphere, Vendetta’s nails it every time. A true Vail classic.“
