22 Best American Restaurants near Mountain Village

“Yummy food and thank you so much for being open!!!“

“It’s rare that my partner and I go out in Telluride or Mountain Village. We both work in the area and decided to take a half day to spend the afternoon together. Given the unusual but beautiful March weather, we decided on Tomboy Tavern so we could sit outside and enjoy the sun. The hostess met us promptly with a smile and sat us right away. Our server Liam was superb. My first drink choice was out of stock, so Liam accommodated by choosing the perfect flavor profiles I was looking for. We were just here to enjoy a drink and light snack, yet were met with professionalism and kindness. Liam made us feel just as important as any other guest spending much more than us. We’re glad there are still local places that accommodate everyone and make us feel welcome as locals. Thanks you guys!“

“Wait staff was great…thank you Julia! We ordered all shareables for 3 of us. Crispy brussels, kushiyaki prawns, wagyu tartare, spicy cauliflower and lamb lollipops. Julia served each item with plenty of time in between so we could enjoy and savor the experience. Thank you and we’ll be back! Julie and Robin Marsh and Lynsey Marsh Bonebrake“

“The service was excellent, but the food…hot and cold (NO pun intended). My black bean soup was excellent, and so was the salmon. In fact, the salmon was one of the best I’ve ever had. The Crispy Shrimp & Calamari, shared at the table, wasn’t really crispy at all. It had a tiny bit of sauce drizzled over it, but most pieces didn’t get touched by it, so you had to either ask for a side of dipping sauce (which we didn’t) or eat it plain. Also, there were hardly any shrimp in with the calamari. My Caesar Salad was awful. Before ordering, I confirmed that the dressing was made in house, but it was a tasteless, bland, cream colored, nondescript thin liquid, without a hint of garlic. I didn’t complain, but I tried my only other option of adding plenty of salt and pepper, which just didn’t help. We didn’t order dessert, so I can’t comment on that element. Overall, I think Cosmo’s is a very fine restaurant, but maybe we just didn’t choose well. I would certainly go back, but I would never order the Caesar again, and I would carefully discuss the calamari with the server before committing to it.“

“I really wanted to like the National more than I did. Great menu, ratings, and we went out of our way to squeeze in for a meal. But just not what I was hoping for. It’s all good, but was expecting more. More flavor, more unique tastes, more impressive presentation. The olive oil martini was a highlight for me. I only show the gnocchi in pictures, but tried 3-5 apps and some squid ink pasta. You can do a lot worse, but I was hoping for so much better.“

“Side Work is an incredible restaurant. guests are greeted warmly and treated to an exquisitely decadent dining experience. each dish is considered with care and precisely crafted for optimal delight. the employees are inviting and knowledgeable. Side Work is perfect for both special occasions and a Tuesday night happy hour.“

“The food was delicious!! The chef & staff were amazing, can’t wait to go back!!“

“The bowls are sooo yummy. Eggs make me feel sick half the time but I am daydreaming about the way they cook their eggs. The honey sriracha is delicious as well. Very friendly staff. Definitely recommend for a yummy and affordable breakfast!“

“Fantastic long weekend at Mountain Lodge Telluride. Perfect accommodations, friendly staff, and views out of this world! Steps away from world class skiing and a gondola ride away from some of the best restaurants and unique shopping! 10/10!“

“I've been eating at Big Billies for over 10 years when I take my kids skiing. And you know, I don't have very high expectations. There will be burgers and fries and chicken fingers. But last weekend, wow! Not only do they have the salad bar (which is really pretty extensive, and had a very nice woman conscientiously making my salad) but also sides of grilled tempeh!? And grilled tofu?! Plus, the chef in the open kitchen, who I discovered is named Romaine, was absolutely kind and loving in her every interaction with diners. The women behind the counter were all friendly and helpful and positive. Honestly, it was a great experience! So much so that I thought, dang, I better go write a review. Nice Job, Big Billies!!!!“

“In a town of mediocre food & service this was a hidden gem. Cosy restaurant in The Hotel Telluride. Our party of 6 ate here 4 times & all were excellent. Guiseppe was a great host & always managed to find us a table when we arrived without a reservation. Service was quick & he was friendly & attentive. The special of the petit fillet with mash potatoes & asparagus plus a glass of wine for $26 was exceptional value. Dessert was very good as well. They even dropped us home afterwards in their hotel courtesy vehicle. Nice atmosphere in hotel lobby for a pre or after dinner drink in front of the fire. 1 night they had a live guitarist which was very nice. Can't fault the food or service. Would definitely eat here again“

“We visited Telluride in January. Brown Dog is not ordinary pizza. It was extraordinary-I’m completely ruined for pizza anywhere else! We’ve talked about this place countless times since our visit 8.5 months ago. The service was great (I believe our waitress was named Becca) and out of allll the great places we visited in Telluride and Mountain Village, this was the place we’re still talking about. Highly, highly recommend! I don’t know if I’ll ever get back to Telluride, but if I do, you’ll find me at Brown Dog Pizza!“

“Never ever disappointed and chef Eliza is the best and always energetic and upping her game. The food is top quality with exceptional preparation detail to perfection. Presentation and service are always prompt, friendly and considerate.“

“The view from Allred’s is amazing! The food was excellent! The service was excellent! Worth the money to go for the experience!“

“Su menú es excelente Ben a probar su nuevo menú es muy Rico“

“Floradora bangs every time. I’m a 7 year local who has been here many times and it’s always high quality. I’m a huge fan of the short rib poutine, the popper burger and the pho. They have such a wide selection and it’s amazing! Last night I got the birria French dip which was spectacular, my fiancé got the coconut shrimp tacos and they were on fire! Pics provided for both of these. Do yourself a favor and try this place, you won’t be let down!“

“Good food, casual atmosphere. Bartender was so nice. Football on TV. Snowing outside. Lots of fun!“

“Literally THE best wedding food I’ve ever had. We hired them for my daughter’s wedding. Everyone, I mean everyone at the wedding raved. Just hire them. You will not be disappointed.“

“Fast n nice Just whipped in for bread puddin …was really good“

“i went here yesterday and i just have to say the white mocha was absolutely delicious. The inside is beautiful as well and they have a lot on the menu. I recommend.“

“I really like this place. We had a really good outside view. Me and my parents came here during the summer on a Tuesday night, the service here was really good. It came really fast, and our food was really unique and delicious. I really recommend this place if you want to go outside and have a nice dinner.“
