“You'd be doing yourself a disservice if you didn't stop here! I had the carnitas burrito (the meat is so juicy and tender!) and my husband had the San Juan both times we went. We ate this early afternoon and would be full for the rest of the day!“

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

“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!!!!“

“We had an AMAZING dinner at Side Work! Our faves included the perfectly cooked octopus, wonderful fresh oysters, peaches and burrata, and s'mores brownie! The atmosphere was upscale relaxed, we didn't feel judged or out of place having our kids join (they are 7-10 and love a nice dinner out)! Definitely a wonderful place to treat yourself!“

“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“

“Amazing food! Every dish we ordered from appetizer, to entree, to dessert was incredible and so well crafted! The owner, Kate, was really sweet and took the time to introduce herself to us and chat. Overall, It was a wonderful experience. Thank you for what you’re bringing to Telluride. We look forward to going back in the future!“

“NYC-based foodie here. Stumbled upon "Counter Culture" during a recent family vacation to Telluride. In a word...JACKPOT! Two in our party shared a burger and I indulged in the vegetarian grain bowl. I paired it with a pilsner from Telluride Brewing next door and "voila"--perfection! Add to it that this appears to be a bit more of a local haunt with fewer tourists and the sum total experience is that much better. I was so pleased I snagged a CC trucker hat for myself as a memento! Don't miss this one.“

“Great food and great atmosphere. We absolutely loved the Chocolate Lab theme as we have a Chocolate Lab. The pizza was absolutely wonderful and the staff was very friendly.“

“Delicious! A perfect place to stop before hitting the trails. We got salad nicoise, and salmon kale salad. All were delicious and we were able to eat right outside in the shade. We also picked up 2 BLT wraps a vegan chocolate chip cookie and a gluten-free brownie that we plan to have later so I'll report back. The best thing was the friendly counter service. Service with a smile and a warm caring attitude. We will be back.“

“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.“

“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“

“Enjoyed a great dinner...service was too notch .....Sebastian our server was very professional and very attentive ..what a gem of a lodge ..location was away from all the bustle of Mountain Village...would stay there in our future trips and eat at the View ..nice vibe here!“

“After a long hike on a Sunday afternoon we stopped in for a drink before dinner serving time. Our waiter and other staff members were such fun to hang out with on a Sunday afternoon we decided to stay for dinner. The dinner was excellent and we feel like we made new friends.“

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

“Food here was 'muy delicioso' & very delicious.
I had the Tomboy burger ? and man, was it amazing ?! Melted in my mouth and meat was the perfect consistency. I closed my eyes as I ate so I could fully experience it. The Moscow mule to chase it down was equally exquisite.
All in all, it was the Chef's kiss.

Waiter was courteous and did a great job. Our seat had a view of the mountain and it was nice to watch as mountain bikers zigzagged down the trails - free entertainment aye?“
