25 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Vail

“My husband met the owner on the gondola one day and told us all about First Chair. We made it out for dinner and drinks with the kids a few days later. Chris served us and it was great meeting him as a fellow East coaster! We ordered almost all of the burritos on the menu and were not disappointed! The smash burger was easily my favorite. My dad would order the meatball burrito for every meal, I swear, with how much he enjoyed it as well as my 1 year old eating half of one herself. My son did work on the nachos they were so tasty! When we get back to Vail, we'll be sure to stop in! great staff and food!“

“Great Detroit Style Pizza! Picnic tables nearby to eat at and there is also a little splash pad nearby if there in the summer.“

“Food was great overall, and the ambiance was wonderful. The service was prompt and food arrived very quickly. The only thing that slightly disappointed me was the side salad as I was hoping for a more traditional Austrian or a German salad with pickled veggies and vinegarette. All the other food was delicious. We will definitely go back.“

“We've lived in Vail part >> full-time for 3 years now and found this gem last week. And, WOW, I'm so glad we did. As a family of four, sometimes we need takeout which is a struggle in Vail and this place nailed it. The food was delicious. The price was appropriate. And, the convenience was awesome. Honestly, I was impressed across the board and am so glad we found it. No question this will be our go-to Thai / Chinese restaurant from now on.“

“Beer is on point and perfect place to chill after a day out on the slopes or hiking.“

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

“The quality of their food is not good, it's very bad.“

“Excellent breakfast burritos and possibly the best hazelnut latte ever!“

“2nd time eating here. Service was ok but not attentive. The lamb gyro was not what was expected. We think of gyros as thin slices of meat while what we got was shaped like a sausage. And it was hotter (spicer) than expected. The biscuit with the ham and hot pepper jelly was just ok, but smaller than the $6 cost would justify. The clam chowder was the only part of the meal that was above average.“

“As usual an excellent meal.“

“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.“

“Sloppy joe and beer. It really made my day eating a mean joe after a long flight. Quick easy bite, perfect for kids, families, or just a group looking to grab a drink. A charming bar full of decor and memorabilia really made it a place to remember!

Plus they had a whole courtyard to themselves in the front with several tables for enjoy the outside too.“

“Cool place. Seated quick. Took a while for a waiter to grace our table. We both got burgers. They were ok. Performed patty. Probably a frozen one. Fries were weirdly crunchy. I don’t like limp fries but overly crunchy is just weird. I always prefer hand cut fries.“

“Delicious good and upscale vibe.“

“One of our favorite spots to hit whenever we’re in Vail Village. Love sitting outside and having a drink or two. Great food and very friendly staff. Just a wonderful place 😊“

“Great Vail atmosphere style Cafe. I found the coffee itself to be very good - actually served hot which I like. They also have freshly squeezed orange juice which was nice. Overall great Vail spot for coffee and just feeling the Vail spirit.“

“Went with Friends. Great food.“

“We made this our special dinner for our time in Vail...and Elways did not disappoint. I had the short rib, and it was literally the best I've ever had. Fall apart tender, great tasting au jus, awesome creamy horse radish sauce. We also had the halibut. Not cheap...but the food, service, and atmosphere were perfect.“

“Excellent mexican food. Their queso is made in-house and is so creamy and tasty.

Parking: The restaurant is in one of the hotels and parking is not available unless you are staying at the hotel. However, there is parking and a garage, but it is a bit of a walk.“

“We stopped by the Fitz Bar + Bites after the concert at the amphitheater. They (Vail) were also hosting the Jazz Festival so they had an exceptional jazz improv going on. We snacked on cheese bites and other munchies while enjoyed the outstanding music. What a phenomenal weekend of talent, music and food.“

“Great place to meet for larger groups. New seasonal menu, tasty fare, friendly servers. Bartender Frank was very attentive, ask Tyler about his new drink, "Camp Fire Mule, and Isabel always happy to serve you.

Vegetarian options: Falafel“

“The French Toast Croissants were delicious.“

“Cute coffee shop with a real good spread of pastries and donuts. Got a lot of indoor and outdoor space but is also quite popular with tourists. Service is quick and would certainly recommend the donuts and croissants. Coffee could be stronger.“

“One of the best places in Vail for live music. Phil is ALWAYS entertaining, the staff is friendly, food is great and the drinks are generous.“

“Vendetta’s is hands down one of the best spots in town. The pizza is absolutely top tier — crispy crust, perfectly balanced sauce, and toppings that taste fresh every single time. It’s the kind of pie that keeps you coming back after just one slice. On top of that, the bartenders here are some of the friendliest and most skilled around. They’ve got the perfect balance of speed, personality, and great recommendations whether you’re after a craft beer, a cocktail, or just something simple. Between the food, the drinks, and the atmosphere, Vendetta’s nails it every time. A true Vail classic.“
