Super pretty area, so peaceful. The Bavarian has a wonderful deck and picnic tables, great food, and beautiful German architecture mixed with mountain ambiance in Carson National Forest.

Surprisingly good food, better than it had to be. I had a brat, which was nicely smoky. My wife had the chicken schnitzel, which was nice and crispy. Also the beers on tap were great. Highly recommended, and worth the drive, even if the boys running Lift 4 don’t feel like working.

What an awesome place and at a perfect location at the bottom of lift 4! Whether winter or summer, no matter what activity stirs up an appetite, it’s easy to come straight here and get a decent meal! Better yet, by the time we ordered to when we got our food, it was maybe 15 minutes? Even if you do have to wait, there is a large drink selection of local ciders and beers, as well as non alcoholic drinks. The menu has something for everyone, and the dessert menu has variety, too! Our food was delicious, and there was a thing that tasted off or poor to us. The portions are large and the appetizers especially could do well for a family if you wanted to try a few different things! Everything was so flavorful and delicious, and the view wasn’t half bad, either!! The winter time I’m sure is beautiful, and I can only imagine how amazing that time is after a ski with some hot chocolate or cider. We will definitely be back!!

Vegetarian options: Variety with strictly vegetarian options

Dietary restrictions: Mention restrictions and I’m sure it can be accommodated

Parking: Open lot, construction happening right now but easy to maneuver

Kid-friendliness: Lots of kids when we were there!

Wheelchair accessibility: There are some stairs, but I do believe there was a ramp to the side!

Worst food ever : it is very hard to mess up German food and they did. Never had such bad quality of food and they don’t seem to care. A shame of a place full of potential

A surprisingly delicious food. Everything I tasted was amazing! Service was great, you order at the counter and they will bring it out to you (at least during summer months)

Price point was great considering the location!

Owner was so helpful and sweet! We came back daily during our Taos visit.

Always worth the trip, we had several beers and the German Sausage Sampler. The beer was treat, the sampler was good, but portions were reduced from our last visit. Atmosphere is six stars!

We went for wheeler peak hike in the summer and had lots of fun going to Williams lake and to the top of the mountain. The Bavarian (and a delicious cold refreshing beverage) is a great goal to have in mind (and guide you) as you hike down the mountain. They have lots of beer and food options. And this section of the Taos ski valley has developed quite well in our twenty years of coming to hike!
