29 Best American Restaurants in Vail

“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.“

“Lyssa and Heath served us and man they made either fun. Amazing service and a great spot for such a crowded mountain. You gotta not be scared to fight for a spot if you want immediate service or just wait for a table. But either way. Worth it. Amazing the deals and specials are sooo good for the area. They're so amazing“

“Our Tampa Bay Ski Club has been having our group dinner there for years. Always excellent food and service!“

“We had a reservation but arrived early and there were two seats at the bar so we decided to just eat at the bar. The bartender Chris was wonderful. He was super personable and gave great suggestions. We had the burger and chicken sandwich and a few cocktails. I would definitely recommend this place to others.“

“Awesome food , good atmosphere, great service and Family owned!!“

“I don’t think there is an institution better than 10th mountain division. Having come here for 10+ years, the drinks are great - the service is great (if you aren’t rude) - and extra kudos to Mark and Andy. Thanks for making every experience at Vail something special.“

“The best restaurant in Vail!“

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

“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“

“This place is a hidden gem, as it’s located away from the center of Vail village, inside of a mountain lodge. Spacious, rustic interior creates a cozy ambiance featuring floor to ceiling windows and a stone fireplace. The food is amazing - a combination of French and American mountain cuisine. The portions are big and great for sharing.“

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

“Cucina is such a hidden gem. I wish more people in Vail new about Cucina! The space is huge, the atmosphere is great, and the staff is incredibly fast and friendly—especially Salvatore and Tyler. Even with our big event, they were quick, patient, kind, and super attentive. Their customer service really stood out, and I’ll definitely be coming back. The burger was delicious, and I can’t wait to try their breakfast menu next time!“

“We always enjoy, last night was just to noisy, difficult to have conversation, Understand the vibe but honestly 14 year olds want parents and friends to be able to hear their words. Food always consistent with ample proportions. My only suggestion is to have fresh juices and milk shakes plus Coke Zero“

“We had a wonderful experience there! We were a little worried about eating at a clubhouse and being underdressed since we were traveling, but our waitress Kristen spotted us and was all smiles. The food was delicious, and my mother and I agree that they have the best fries we’ve ever had.“

“Great staff and food. The supper clubs were amazing“

“I rate it low, because the waitress took my drink (a Negroni) away from the table before it was finished without asking me if he can take it away. Once he came back and I claim to him he told me that he did it because it was not full, which he was right, but “wrong answer”..!! He shoul have 1st. apologize, 2nd. offer another one, or 3rd. if I did not wanted another one cause we ordered wine, he should have not charged in the bill. Obviuosly he was bad “trained” on how to deal with a mistake he made like that. Apart from that, everything else very good!“

“Ate breakfast a few times at the Gessner Grill during my stay at the Grand Hyatt. I can only speak to the breakfast, but everything my spouse and I got during our stay was great. The potatoes were very well seasoned and notable and the French toast was fluffy and just the right amount of sweet. Service was excellent!“

“We had a great experience at Garfinkel’s, thanks largely to our server, Megan. She was friendly, attentive, and perfectly timed without being overbearing. We sat on the patio such a great choice and the food was outstanding! We enjoyed the chili, hot chocolate, nachos, and an IPA, all of which were excellent. Megan not only gave spot-on menu recommendations but also shared great suggestions for things to do around Vail, which really enhanced our visit. Wonderful service and a perfect place to relax. A must-stop when you’re in Vail!“

“the food was amazing. So fresh and delicious. The staff was equally impressing with great attitude and professionalism“

“The veggie chili is very yummy and filling after a morning of skiing. Can add corn, onions, and hot sauce. They used to serve it over a baked potato too but sadly not anymore. There is also a quinoa/bean burger, but unknown if this is vegan. Items are only listed as vegetarian on the menu. They also sell bobo’s bars and a few other vegan snacks if you look.“

“This was a Christmas Eve dinner. First thing first it's quite expensive and that's probably it is Christmas time and you get to have a very well buffet spread. Service level is as expected high level. No complains on food as the options were lot and high quality. Not sure how it would have been if it were alacarte“

“The staff were extremely friendly, greeting us enthusiastically as we walked in the door. This larger location is a great improvement from the small basement space I fondly recall from years back. We enjoyed a hearty breakfast, latte, and a smoothly while reading the local Sunday newspaper they provided. Tim, went out of his way to accommodate us. We didn’t like the ketchup on the burrito - too sweet for our taste preferences.“

“We ALWAYS have a Great experience at La Tour! The food is exceptional & service is spot on! We can’t wait to go back!“

“Like Nothing Else on Earth!!“

“The bbq pizza was the best pizza I have ever had. The waiter was a little under par. He just wasn't as attentive to us as he was others. We ordered 2 beers he only brought one. And when we said we wanted 2. He had a attitude. But then apologized right before he brought the bill.“

“The food was superb, and the service is kind. I do have to say that their water is some of the most refreshing I’ve ever had (unsure of what or where it comes from lol). Unfortunately, I do live out of state. However anytime I visit Vail, CO this is an absolute stop to grab a bite for me.“

“Had a great experience at Tavern on the Square in Lionshead Village. This restaurant is located within the Arrabelle hotel and is absolutely beautiful. The food and service were excellent too. I'm not sure why this establishment has such a low Google review, this is one of the nicer restaurants in Lionshead Village.“

“Best Hickory Burger Ever!!! We were in town for a wedding & stopped in for a quick bite. The staff was super friendly & made us feel right at home! Can’t wait to fly back for another burger!“

“Had a birthday dinner here with my friend, so we were looking for an upscale place with a vibe! Elway's in Vail Village did not disappoint!
The atmosphere was perfect, chill vibes, nice decorations.
The food was delicious, Tuna tartar for appetizer and Seabass for entree! Food was incredible! The service was great they didn't miss a beat, Sebastian the server was on point with his recommendations and his service! He was super friendly and personality was on point!
Over all the experience was great! We will definitely be back!“
