Mamie's is my favorite stop for a snack at Beaver Creek. You order from a menu before you enter the deck, pay at the register and your food comes out a window on the other side of the deck. Then you get to grill it yourself, yeah! Bigass burgers, dogs, chicken breasts, portabello mushrooms...even s'mores! I always get a grilled cheese for $6, the burgers are $11. There are containers of melted butter you can brush on your bread (thick and soft) and buns (pillowy perfect, like at H Burger or Cherry Cricket). There is a long row of grills with condiments and seasonings and grill tools in the middle. It's such a blast. Adirondack chairs are on either side of the deck with tons of picnic tables, umbrellas to shield the sun and a warming hut too. You can buy bottles of wine here ($40ish up to $200+) or beers or hot cocoa or even Gluhwein. This isn't a place where you can bring your own booze or food to grill, but it's a better deal than the $20 burgers at the base of Bachelor Gulch. The meat patties were huge and you get a slice of cheese to melt and a pile of fresh veggies as toppers. If you don't feel like cooking your own food, you can order soup, stew, chili, chips, cookies and a few other items. Or the staff will cook for you...but that's not as much fun! Just do it yourself, even if your ski jacket smells like campfire + cheeseburger for a few days. You can even grill steak like a baller if you give them enough advance notice. I love that you can get a cheap bite or go ultra fancy depending on your mood and wallet contents. I only wish they stayed open a bit later, but they really can't since they are at the top of a lift that has to close at the same time daily. read more
