Just like most places in Aspen, the food here is also criminally overpriced. Between the three of…read moreus, we got a cup of soup and 3 sandwiches. Split 3 ways and including tax/tip, the bill came out to nearly $40 per person. That being said, the banh mi I got was quite good - packed w/flavor from the kimchi and the sauce; though this is probably the first time i've had a banh mi without any cilantro... The thai coconut soup, though, was a bit of a let down. It had all the right flavors, but was in dire need of some acidity and sweetness. Without that, it was quite one-dimensional. Service was decent. We were seated outside so quite a lot of people around and so it often felt quite cramped. Overall, not bad but there's definitely better out there.

As for a sit-down meal, M&C is not in the forefront of my must come back to anymore. When informed that there'll be a long wait to their charming patio; I made the mistake this evening of taking a table inside for immediate seating. Very slow and unattentive was the service there. So disappointed also I was with my undercooked "rotisserie chicken" and the once beloved brown sugar butter sauce of theirs was sour. When asked if they had changed the recipe, our server replied "it depends on who made it" - really?!? I didn't leave this time with that warm and cozy feeling of being a guest at their place, instead now I was just another customer! cheers!

White House Tavern is a perfect example of Aspen casual done right…read more The restaurant sits in a charming historic house and has such a warm, relaxed energy -- great music, friendly staff, and a lively atmosphere. The crispy chicken sandwich is honestly one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Perfectly crispy, juicy, and balanced with just the right amount of heat. The kale salad and fries were also excellent, and everything came out quickly despite how busy the place was. The service was upbeat and welcoming, and the whole experience felt effortless. If you want a fun, laid-back lunch or dinner in Aspen without sacrificing quality, this is absolutely the place.

This place was very highly recommended amongst all of our friends and relatives that live around…read moreAspen, so we had high hopes. The service was wonderful, we got our food very quickly, and the ambiance was adorable. A little loud but nothing too crazy. The food itself was fine. We ordered the duo dip, French fries, the French dip, and the chicken sandwich. The guac and the other dip were really good and we loved the chips too. The fries are pretty much what you'd expect, except once they got to room temperature they became super hard and not very edible. My husband said the French dip meat was good and tender, pretty good flavor overall. I had the chicken sandwich which was huge! They split the sandwich into three wedges and I could only finish two. I liked the texture of the chicken was nice and I liked the slaw on it, however, the flavor overall was kind of lacking. I would say it was a bit overhyped. Overall, it was a nice experience for a decent price and I'm glad we went. Would we go back? Probably.

They have burgers, good selection of sandwiches (Philly cheesesteak), salads, fish n chips and wings with a nice assortment of flavors. I ordered wings and fries. Large basket of fries (a bit too salty but good) were good and the wings were 8.5/10. $17 for 12 wings in Aspen was great I thought. They also Guinness and it was poured properly and very tasty. The inside is cozy and very clean. I was there around 3pm on a Monday and easily got a seat. The 2 girls working were so so nice and very good servers - 10/10 service. They don't do too many mixed drinks and not a ton of beer selection but for a good beer and great food at a phenomenal price with A+ service definitely check it out!

One girl at the counter was rude, constantly eyeing us and few other customers up and down in condescending way. I saw her peeking into a customer's laptop and later and later saw tilting over to look at my husband's phone when he was scrolling, so inappropriate. My tacos arrived with tortillas that looked chewed on on the edges, and when I pointed it out, she said they "came from the packet like that." But later changed after rolling eyes at us. On top of it all, the place is right next to a weed shop, so the smell was everywhere. Definitely not returning and needless to say DO NOT recommend.

We chose Bird and Cow mainly because of their quoted wait time on Yelp. It was Spring Break in…read moreBreckenridge and everywhere was packed--Eric's Restaurant had a 2-hour wait--so when Bird and Cow showed a 10-minute wait for our party of five (including a very hungry 17-year-old), we added ourselves immediately. When we arrived, there was a medical situation with a guest, and an ambulance came to assist. Obviously, that takes priority, and we were patient and understanding. However, after the situation cleared, we continued waiting another 20 minutes. During that time, several groups who arrived after us were seated first. When I politely asked the host about our status, I was told those groups were seated because they were smaller parties. That didn't appear to be accurate, and when I mentioned that, the response quickly became rude and dismissive. At that point, we decided there was no reason to stay and left for dinner elsewhere. The next day, we ate at Tin Plate Pizza--fantastic food and excellent service. Ironically, while walking past Bird and Cow afterward, we noticed their kitchen area through an open back door, and it did not appear clean or well-kept. In hindsight, we're glad things worked out the way they did--but overall, this was a frustrating experience driven by inaccurate wait times and poor customer service.

Little Diner is not just a place to eat in Vail it's an institution, the kind you measure trips by…read moreand remember long after the mountains fade in the rearview mirror. The food is abundant, honest, and deeply satisfying; the kind that reminds you why simple things, done well, matter. The service carries that same spiritprofessional, warm, and genuinely kind. It's food for the people by the people not glitzy rubbish that makes you wonder have I eaten yet!!!! You do need a bit of patience. Nothing here is rushed, and that's precisely the point. Every plate is cooked to order, every detail given its due. Good things take time, and here, time is part of the recipe. Little Diner is just that diner heaven. Food that sticks to your bones, comforts your soul, and leaves you leaning back in your chair saying, "God, that was great." Vail itself is a different kind of spectacle stunning, no doubt, with its postcard beauty, polished storefronts, and a steady parade of designer threads and glittering displays. Prices feel executive, and there's a certain showiness in the air, a place where being seen can matter as much as seeing. And yet, tucked within it all, Little Diner stands apart. It caters to simple, kind, genuine people those who don't need labels or luxury to feel fulfilled. Here, it's not about gold foil or truffles or culinary theatrics. It's food for the stomach and the soul. Real food. No pretense, no nonsense just somethinghonest on a plate and a place that feelshuman. The coffee arrives strong and unapologetic, just as it should in a mountain town. And my dirty burger? Simply splendid messy, indulgent, unforgettable. Which is why the news stings. Rumors of rising rents and a looming development threaten to push this family-owned gem out, making way, no doubt, for something shinier, pricier, and far less soulful. One can already imagine the replacement: a polished, over-designed "concept," where the plates are smaller, the prices larger, and the experience carefully curated yet strangely hollow. It would be a loss not just for Vail, but for anyone who values authenticity over affectation. Places like Little Diner don't just feed you they ground you. And once they're gone, no amount of gastronomic flair or fashionable pretense can quite fill the space they leave behind. Jose Pienknagura JosePienknagura@gmail.com

Not Good...this is a 1st for me....and it makes me sad to say it. HEAD's UP.... if your are popping…read moreoff of the to enjoy a good meal, know that the parking is not convenient. You need to find the Lionhead Village parking garage & walk through the shops to get to the building. The signage does not make it easy to find on the upper level. But, we had read that it was a "great breakfast spot" so we took the time to find the pkg garage & walk to the Diner. Having bartended in a previous life, we both feel most comfortable dining at a bar... so we settled in at the bar and patiently waited to be greeted. The server was very involved with another customer, showing them photos (on her phone) and then, while they continued conversing, she brought us waters. While dropping the waters, she asked us "what can I get you to drink?" and without our ready answer, abruptly turned back to the other couple and continued their visit... completely forgetting, I am guessing, that she had even asked us a question. After another 3 minutes of wrapping up their visit, she finally returned, as if she had not left us hanging....and hungry. No "I'm sorry" or "my apologies for the delay", just a question of "what was it you wanted?" Hubby replied that we would like the "fresh squeezed orange juice" and asked if it was squeezed in house. "No, I just work here, I don't squeeze it" and that was how our morning dining experience nearly ended. The VERY FIRST ITEM on your menu touts "fresh squeezed" and it is not the truth???? What else isnt' the truth? Are those "made from scratch" biscuits made in someone else's factory? Anything else need a disclaimer? Having been on the road a bit & being very hungry, and also having decided that this was a diner that we wanted to experience (after a lot of research the night before), we did order. Hubby's breakfast sandwich scored a 7 out of 10 for him, my over medium egg and bacon would have been a delicious 10 had they been a little more up to temp than "barely warm" (they sat under the warming light for over 5 minutes). We were sitting right where we saw our food prepared, in the lovely open kitchen, so we made note of the time lapsed between my plate going to the expo station & his breakfast sandwich being plated. So, food wise...we give this diner a 7. Service wise.... a 1. She never looked our way again after taking our order. I had to literally call out "excuse me, ma'am...could I please get a refill on my coffee?" Our waters were never refilled. She spent her time "working her regulars" and missed out on a potential regular (as we pass by Vail a LOT) and also missed out on 2 very generous tippers. (Having both been in the service industry, we start out at 20% when we sit down and it typically goes up from there. Last night's server was wonderful and he was rewarded for the outstanding service.) This morning's service was abominable and her tip was definitely not 20%. I must say that the cooks' areas were very tidy and clean. I was highly impressed with their stations and give them kudos for that and the perfect preparation of my egg. The diner is so cute, I really wanted to love it. I left very sad that our experience was not a positive one. Last thing...there are placards that ask that patrons help them survive by giving to their Go Fund Me or Venmo account. um......
