Nachos were great but the starving the show was our server Ashlyn. Wow. What amazing service and attention. Even brought my wife a Diet Coke to go with a lime on top!

Food was not great and staff a little rude.

Sat down at the bar. Bartender asked if we needed a menu. Told her no and that we just wanted a fountain drink. Bartender filled 2 beers for two ladies that came in after us. I let it slide. When she started to take care of another person that came in after us, I told her not to worry about my order.
I couldn't tell if she heard me, so I said it twice. No response again, and I know she heard me but she still wouldn't acknowledge me. The 3rd time she grunted but still wouldn't look at me.
Total disrespect. Never again will this place get my money.

We had wonderful food and service at the Red Lion! Vegetarian options at this restaurant are excellent. We ordered a veggie burger for me and a burger for my husband, and we both had the jalapeño style option. For dessert we shared the avalanche brownie. The portion sizes were large, we found the pricing to be reasonable compared to most other options in Vail, and our server was so friendly and fun. We also enjoyed the live music and outdoor seating.

We decided to stop by for a late afternoon drink and to check out the dinner menu for that evening. Unfortunately, our experience started off on the wrong foot with a rather cold and indifferent reception from the hostess – it honestly felt like we were disturbing her afternoon.
Inside the bar area, service was initially good until the shift change. The new waiter clearly had an attitude problem and seemed uninterested in serving anyone. When we were joined by some family members, we asked to move outside so our 1-year-old wouldn’t disturb other guests. This request was met with more attitude and a visible lack of enthusiasm from the waiter.
Once we moved outside to finish our drinks, no further service was offered. We eventually had to go back into the bar area to ask for and settle the bill ourselves.
Needless to say, we didn’t return to the Red Lion for the rest of the week. Fortunately, there are plenty of other pubs and restaurants in the area that value their patrons and genuinely appreciate the business.

I had the crispy chicken sandwich with onion rings and it did not disappoint! It was so delicious! The only thing I would change is upgrading the cheese to Bongards (we’re dairy farmers here, so it matters) just by doing that would take the sandwich to a whole new level!

Was unimpressed with the food, I think I had higher hopes for it due to being in Vail. We ordered the Vail burger, build your own burger and two kids mini corn dogs ($10 each). The burgers had no flavor, very bland. My cheese was wrong on my burger, but didn’t say anything since it’s just cheese. For $25 a burger, and the board out front saying “best burger” it should be flavorful and good. I would not recommend eating here.
We shared the chicken nachos 🙌🏾 they were damn good!

Have been coming here over two decades. Never disappoints. Went to Greece last year had lots of Gyros. The gyro at red lion is amazing, but French fries in it for the Greece experience.

The nachos are not great. Blt was really good. I ordered a local pilsner, but I'm convinced it is bud light.
Edit. Maybe it isn't light but it tastes exactly like it. Imo. Also, the waiter was great.

Service from Alvin was horrible. Would not come back because of him. He fully ignored our table, had to ask for someone to take our drink order after a half hour of sitting there. He was extremely rude to our whole party and inattentive. We will not come back because his attitude and hostility.
