Literally everything we ate was the best food I’ve ever had at a restaurant. The bison burger had avocado, salsa verde, and red onions. It was such a beautiful balance. And the atmosphere was a 10/10. Can’t wait to go back.“

“I had broken my ankle on the ski slopes nearby early in the day and honestly felt like my whole trip was ruined. I really felt like I threw a wrench in the gears of my friend's trip even though they seemed to be understanding of it being an accident. The whole point of this trip was to get my mind off my dog who had just died (another unfortunate skiing accident). My friends took me to this Applebee's, much to my lament. Well I was flat out wrong. Flat. Out. WRONG. Immediately we were greeted with the brightest smile I had seen in the mountains yet. She helped me to the bar where we had the libations of our lives. The manager, something like Ken, noticed my broken arm and made sure that we were well taken care of. As we paid our tab he told us to be careful on the slopes and to come back and see him. I think I probably followed him home later. Nice house. Will be back!“
