27 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!“

“Loved this place. Everything we had was great. The Truffle Tots, Coca Cola Ribs, Bully Burger, Pizza, Nachos, Wings, and of course the Sticky Toffee Pudding. This place delivered everytime we ate there(3). The best things we ate were the Sticky Toffee Pudding and the Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie. Would highly recommend and will go again if ever back in Vail.“

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

“The best restaurant in Vail!“

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

“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.“

“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“

“More people need to visit Gessners! It feels like secret that needs to get out. Food is fantastic and the service is both attentive and personable. Jhon was excellent - knowledgeable and friendly. My wife and I have been coming for years celebrating birthdays and anniversaries and will definitely be back.“

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

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

“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.“

“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!“

“It was actually really good place! Despite it being bowling and restaurant which gets you. It was very good! The drinks, and food!
They have lot of activities, especially bringing in djs, karaoke and more! Very lively as the night goes on!“

“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.“

“Two Elk is just Too Good! This is the model for mountaintop dining. Amazing view. Staff is attentive and very friendly. Food is great. It might seem expensive until you know that every single thing came up on a gondola and was transported on a snowcat. And there is a beer garden. Perfection.“

“Garfinkel’s is a fantastic spot. The food and drinks are excellent, but the real highlight is the patio with its incredible view—it’s one of the best places around to sit and relax. The customer service was top-notch, and everything came out quickly. The Nashville sandwich was especially flavorful and delicious. The staff clearly works hard to keep things running smoothly. If someone had a bad experience, it likely had more to do with how they treated the staff than the quality of the place. Definitely worth visiting.“

“Our absolute favorite place when visiting Vail. It's the first place we stop for lunch after landing in Eagle each trip. Lunch menu is exceptional! Dinner menu is also great. We will usually eat twice each trip. Food feels fresh and thoughtful.“

“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“

“Was a little tired from skiing all day and needed a little caffeine boost to prepare for the evening ahead. The place was a little busy but the wait was not bad at all. I enjoyed an Iced Nutty Irishman. I asked them to dial back the syrup and it was great. The coffee they use is great and a little less flavoring helped the coffee flavor pop. Service was excellent. There was a guy working the counter alone and he did a great job of tending to everyone’s needs. I did not have food there but a couple customers were returning because they enjoyed the food the day before. They also serve beer in addition to coffee and other drinks. Inside seating is available with tables and a small bar area. There is also a really nice outdoor sitting area where you can do some people watching.“

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

“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 pretty good and the service even better our waitress was attentive and always making sure we are happy. We celebrated a birthday in this restaurant and did not get disappointed, thanks so much Sebastian for making this day even better! We’ll be back 🥂“

“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.“
