Once inside, we again waited quite a while - over an hour for our food. We were a party of four and ordered breakfast items. Thank goodness this was a long overdue connection with the parents and we had lots to connect over. Once our food arrived, it was radio silent - always a good sign. I ordered Chorizo Avocado Benny. Parents ordered eggs and ham, partner ordered breakfast enchiladas. Everything was incredible - well seasoned, locally sourced with fresh ingredients and cooked to order. Yum. Even though the wait was a bit much, we'd return. The food was outstanding.

Brass and Anvil - 4 Stars We took the boys to Brass and…read moreAnvil and had a solid evening. The food was respectable across the board--I had the sirloin which was cooked nicely, and the cream corn was the standout side of the night. One of my sons ordered the braised beef pasta bowl, the other went with the mac and cheese, and we shared a beet salad that was refreshing and well-prepared. Now, here's where this place really shined: our waitress. She was absolutely exceptional--attentive, personable, and kept everything running smoothly despite what looked like a hectic night. Turns out she's from Vermont, DJs on the side, and makes her own jewelry. That kind of hustle and genuine warmth while she's managing a full section? That's the kind of service that makes a restaurant memorable. The food won't blow your mind, but it's quality and well-executed. If you're looking for a comfortable spot with solid fare and great hospitality, Brass and Anvil delivers. Definitely worth a visit.

Unfortunately, Brass & Anvil was a disappointment. The bison meatballs were a little dry, and…read morealthough the sauce was intentionally served cold, the contrast with the warm meatballs was odd. At $20 for just three meatballs, they also felt especially overpriced. The parmesan truffle fries had an unusual taste--almost as if they had been cooked in old grease--and there wasn't much truffle flavor. The pear salad was okay overall, but the pears didn't seem fresh and tasted more like canned pears. On the positive side, the patio was very nice, and the mezcal cocktail was excellent. It's a great setting, and we really wanted to like it, but given the quality of the food and the prices, the meal just didn't deliver.

I got the black bean burger with a salad and really enjoyed it! The bun was soft and toasty and the burger tasted great! Salads here and fresh and I was very satisfied with my meal! We had a nice healthy pour of Chardonnay and they consistently refilled our soda. The service was fantastic! Thank you! Will be back!

It is warm, unpretentious, and packed with the kind of local energy you can not fake.

The real reason we will be back is the service. Chloe and Kendall were the stars of the show, sharp, welcoming, and genuinely on point without ever hovering. If you want a place with honest food, a solid pour, and a staff that makes you feel like you belong, Brick Pony just earned a customer for life.

I had "The Regular" burger with a side of sweet potato fries, and it was so good. The fries and burger were excellent. My friend ordered two big beers and really enjoyed them. We got good service from a teenager who was kind of awkward but very attentive. I didn't bring this up because I didn't want to bother him, but the menu clearly says that you can add cheese, mushrooms, and avocado for $1, but they charged $3 for it. I was wondering if I had somehow misread it, and that they charge $1 for each extra topping, but the receipt said the avocado was $2 and cheese + mushrooms was $1. I do not like a misleading menu and price discrepancies. It ended up being around $28 after tip, which was pricey for just a burger and fries at a casual bar.

I just got the homemade root beer which was completely underwhelming which was lacking any flavor, lacking in both the earthy taste and in sweetness. The green chili pork with hominy was the soup special I had and it was great. The tortilla strips added a nice crunch and the green chili had a nice spice to it without being overpowering. The fish and chips were alright, with the fish being a bit under salted and the coleslaw being a mushy mess and the tartar being very basic. The fries were nice as they had a nice crisp and were seasoned enough. Our waitress barely ever came by and gave us the check like the restaurant was shutting down but they were still open another hour and other sections were still full. Getting rushed out was a bit odd but didn't ruin the food. Descent enough spot but offers nothing special.

After reading the reviews it was the general consensus that the locals send people there so it had to be good! Plus all you can smell in the hotel is BBQ so by default you were already craving it. I had the salad with pulled pork and no complaints! It was fun to try the different sauces they had on the meat + enjoy a fresh salad. My husband had the combo meal with brisket and smoked chicken. I tried the chicken and it was really good with the hot hot sauce. The flavor profile was robust and the meat was tender. The Mac and cheese was also flavorful and not dry. The price was good too - for $60 we had a nice dinner in Aspen. Definitely give this place a try especially if you are staying at The Aspen Inn. You can't beat it.

Our experience at Meat & Cheese in Aspen was disappointing from beginning to end…read more To start with, the food was mediocre in every sense. The quality did not justify the prices, the flavors were forgettable, and nothing we ordered stood out. Unfortunately, what happened afterward was far worse. My wife accidentally left behind a shopping bag containing a brand new pair of sunglasses she had purchased earlier that day. When she returned to retrieve them, our interaction with a server named Carson was deeply disappointing. Instead of simply confirming ownership in a courteous and professional manner, Carson repeatedly questioned whether the sunglasses were actually hers. He kept emphasizing that they were brand new and worth around $600, making it clear that he found it difficult to believe they belonged to her. It was impossible not to feel that she was being judged based solely on her appearance. There is absolutely nothing wrong with verifying ownership of a valuable item. In fact, we appreciate businesses that take lost property seriously. What is unacceptable is allowing assumptions and stereotypes to influence how customers are treated. One lesson worth remembering is that genuine elegance and long established wealth rarely need to announce themselves. Those who have had the privilege of success across generations often feel no need to advertise it with designer logos or outward displays. True class is reflected in education, humility, confidence, and, above all, in the way people treat others. Ironically, Carson's assumptions said far more about his own judgment than they did about my wife. No customer should ever be made to feel that they need to "look wealthy" in order to be treated with respect. We hope management addresses this issue seriously. The mediocre food was forgettable. Being judged and treated with prejudice is not. Every guest deserves to be treated with courtesy, professionalism, and dignity, regardless of how they are dressed or what assumptions someone chooses to make about them.
