“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!“

“Side Work was amazing for dinner last night. We had a dozen coldwater oysters, a great bottle of Rioja, first-class fried green tomatoes with crab, salmon, mixed seafood paella, pork steak, and two desserts (flourless chocolate cake and cherry pie, both made in-house). All of the food and service was excellent. It’s now one of our top three choices in Telluride, alongside La Marmotte and Kazahana. Was our fourth visit. We can’t wait to come back!“

The West End Bistro at The Hotel Telluride American • $$
199 Cornet Street, Telluride

“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“

“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!!!!“
