One of the top restaurants in Vail! Need to book a reservation in advance. Every time we come to vail we stop in and love our experience. The food we have ordered is listed below and ranked 1-10. Wienerschnitzel (7.8)- We tried it and enjoyed it. I would order again but it isn't my favorite dish. Hamburger (6.8)- The meat was seasoned really well. I don't care for the pretzel bun but solid burger. Rueben sandwich (8.6)- Very flavorful and a must get! I never even order one anywhere else but I do when we come here. Delicious! Apple strudel (6.4)- Wanted it to be better. Apples could have been cooked longer IMO and the crust wasn't flaky at all. read more

The place looks like it's bee transported from Vienna. Waitresses wear traditional attire and take the food to the table in a three tier tray on wheels. They ask that you check your coat but if you decide not to, then they ask you not to put it in the back of your chair (so I put mine on the floor). It's not cheap by the way but the food was good. We ordered the French onion soup (cup) and the broth was on the lighter color but tasty. We shared the steak frites. The very tender char-grilled skirt steak, came with truffle fries, baby rocket salad. lemon vinaigrette, crumbied bie cheese and chimichuri butter. The lemon vinaigrette was delicious. No dessert as we wanted to go to a different place for that. read more

I love their European entrées--truly authentic, just like what you'd find in Austria or Germany. They even serve Radler, which is rare to come across. The service was excellent, and the prices are fair. Definitely a go-to spot for lunch or dinner in Vail. The restaurant itself is beautiful and perfectly captures a classic European atmosphere. read more

We loved Pepi's! We went twice on our recent vacation to Vail. Our son loved their Wienerschnitzel the best because of the coating. Their trout is delicious. And you have to get their sauerkraut and red cabbage! Their Apple Strudel was one of my favorites! The manager and staff go above and beyond to make sure your eating experience is superior! read more

I was lucky to snag a last-minute table here, which is no small feat in Vail during peak hours. The service was excellent, and the food didn't disappoint--hearty, filling, and full of flavor. The only downside is the price, but it is a tourist town after all. Still, if you're a fan of Austrian food like I am, it's worth the visit! read more

My husband and I have been coming to Pepi's for several seasons, both summer and winter, and unfortunately, what happened tonight was shocking and discouraging enough that we don't feel comfortable returning. We walked in around 8 p.m. hoping to enjoy the live music, as we have many times before. Since Pepi's closes at 9, we assumed the music would continue until around closing time. Instead, we walked into an almost ghost-like atmosphere and were told that the musician had already finished because he hadn't taken a break since starting around 4. That was completely understandable, and we had no issue with it. As we were leaving, we happened to see the musician and simply said something along the lines of, "Sorry we missed you, have a good night." Instead of leaving it at that, he immediately asked us where we were staying and mentioned that he had played there the night before. He then asked whether we had seen him the previous night, and the tone and direction of the conversation made us uncomfortable. We politely played along, and he eventually told us to come back the next day at 4. What really caught us off guard happened as we walked away. We heard him refer to us to other guests or employees as "those people were weird." The irony of that comment was especially surprising considering that we had only stopped to politely say we were sorry we missed his performance. He was the one who continued the interaction by asking where we were staying and taking the conversation in an unexpected and uncomfortable direction. As longtime customers, this left a very bad impression. Guests should not have to wonder whether they are being mocked or talked about by people associated with an establishment immediately after a perfectly polite interaction. It made us feel unwelcome and uncomfortable, and unfortunately it changes the way we feel about returning to Pepi's. After coming here season after season, we'll be taking our business elsewhere moving forward. read more

Just delicious! This place was so cute. We sat on the outside patio which was enclosed with heaters and big windows to see the snow fall. The soup was so good. I would rate it 5 stars but the only things was that it was my birthday and we met the waiter know and it wasn't acknowledged at all but that's okay! I can't expect that but usually restaurants would say happy birthday or something special but overall the food and service was great and I will be back if I'm ever in Vail again for a nice bite! read more

We showed up a day early, but they graciously got us in. Our service was impeccable, great wine list, and the food... authentic. I had Jaeger schnitzel (spelling?) with spaetzle and mushroom gravy with a size of red cabbage. My husband has Weiner Schnitzel, and our son had a platter of Elk, Bison, and Quail. All fantastic. The Strudel was spot on. I will come back next year! Oh- we sat in the Antler Room. read more

We had such a fantastic time here that we visited twice! The venison was delicious, though my friend said the Wiener Schnitzel was a bit dry. Our first visit was for dinner in the main dining area, which was cozy and inviting. Big shoutout to Shawn, he was incredibly helpful with drink pairings. The second visit was for lunch on the patio, and it was lovely sitting out in the sun. Highly recommend Pepi's! read more

I wouldn't recommend this overpriced tourist trap with rude staff to anyone. The host treated us so poorly here. My daughters and I were seated by a hostess and ready to order when the lead hostess told us we needed to move to a rear table because someone with a reservation preferred the table where we were seated. The food was average. We should have walked out when they moved us, but I was so stunned at the time. read more

This restaurant can be a little hard to find at night because it's connected to the bar, but a separate sit down restaurant. It's where they have the breakfast for the hotel guests. Lots of authentic German/Austrian cuisine on the menu, and both of our dishes were really good. I tried the Beef stroganoff and was not disappointed. Overpriced a bit, but so is everything in Vail. read more

Atmosphere in Antlers Room was quiet and comfortable, the bar was rowdy and fun out front. We were in the Antlers Room which was perfect. Shawn, our waiter was first rate!! Great person and a great waiter, lead us through the menu and made great suggestions!! The food was a mixture of wild game and German fare. I went German, and it was good but probably should have gone game. Regardless, it was a great night and would definitely go back again!! read more

The service and food was OK. Nothing over the top or out of the way exceptional to warrant 4 stars. Food was.most likely on par for Vail prices. It worked while we toured the town and figured out the next stop on our road trip. We had a roasted beet salad and stroganauf... good but not like mama makes it! Probably would go elsewhere if I were to visit again, but I also wouldn't NOT come here. Just depends on what youre looking for! read more

Stopped here off season for lunch. The food is mostly German style, and I had a German plate which was the Jägerschnitzel. Everyone stole from my plate so I didnt get a lot of it but what I ate I really liked. The service here is a whole other topic though. The service was just bad. Maybe they were under staffed or they just didnt care, I dont know. It took awhile for someone to seat us, took a while to get our orders in, took a while to get our food and when we did, none of us had any silverware. When someone got up to go get silverware they got in trouble for getting the silverware themselves. It was really quite absurd and the manager ended up apologizing but I got the feeling she really didnt care. Its vail. They really dont need any help as they will always have business here and it kind of shows. I'd probably sit at the bar next time. read more

Very nice bar. Food was surprisingly good. Got the pretzel and brat sandwich. The sandwich was good, but it's messy. The bread doesn't hold up that great and got soggy quickly- but taste was good down to the potato's. Great atmosphere. The place is bustling but it's very chill inside. Totally recommend. read more

We wanted an outside bar area in Vail Village to frequent for afternoon cocktails. Walking by Pepi's, it appeared to be the perfect spot as it had the windows/doors opened and live music as there was a guitar player for entertainment. The vibe seemed perfect to spend a couple of hours there.....until it was not. The first encounter with the server should have been enough for us to turn around and leave. We were greeted with, "We don't serve meals.....you can only get appetizer and drinks here". No welcome, no smile, no greeting of any kind. After being " welcomed", we said, "Great, we are only here for drinks." We were then told to sit anywhere. Service from the server, the same one who greeted us, was mediocre at best. She never smiled, engaged, appeared to like being at work, and seemed unhappy at the world. We ordered three drinks......beer was lukewarm, lemon drop martini was warm, not filled to the top, and came with no sugared rim, and the third drink of a type of lavender lemonade was bitter! We left as soon as we finished the drinks as we certainly were not wanting to try other drinks from the menu and with the rude server, we were ready to try another place. Lastly, to pay the bill seemed to take a longer time than needed. Keep looking if you are thinking of spending time in the bar area at Pepi's. Needless to say, we were disappointed as the venue from the path is what drew us in. read more

Cute little establishment; lots of character. If you're gluten free, there aren't many options here for you. I had a Reuben on lettuce. It was ok, a little greasy and not the highest quality ingredients. My husband had the buffalo burger. The pretzel bun was the highlight. We had a great server. I bet this place would be fun for drinks and live music. Likely won't return. read more

My family has always loved this spot. The covered patio is beautiful for a sunset dinner. In the summer it overlooks their beautiful flowers which attract hummingbirds! Great for groups or for a date I love the French onion soup, the schnitzel and of course the apple Streudel! read more

A favorite of ours each time we've been to Vail. Food quality is great and portions are very generous. The German schnitzel dishes are a must-try. The service is top notch and overall ambiance is wonderful- we've dined inside and on the patio over the years and thoroughly enjoyed both. We highly recommend Pepi's!! read more

Soooo good! Surprised they don't have a higher star rating. The food was sooo good. Best Mac n cheese ever!!! Gnocchi was amazing. Everyone cleared their plates. Manager checked on several times and very attentive!! Was great with our little kids as well!! read more

Enjoyed the vibe and live music in the bar area while waiting for the restaurant to open. A cocktail server never approached our table so I ordered at the bar. We enjoyed the cozy little Getman restaurant with authentic food choices. However the cost was high even for Vail. $168 before tax or tip for 3 meals, 1 appetizer and 1 martini . Worth one visit to try the food but we probably don't need to go back for $$$. read more

Food is excellent, very authentic and delicious. We had nearly everything on the menu and with our large party and it was all so good! However, the service was absolutely terrible. We had a reservation and they sat a large walk in party after us, and then let us sit there for 20 min before we were helped. The walk in table that came in behind us had their drinks and appetizers before they even took our drink order. The manager was rude, and scattered, so that didn't help either. I gave it 4 stars solely on the food. read more

I went here for lunch. My order consisted of pepi's house salad and a cup of Hungarian goulash soup. Both dishes were yummy. Please keep in mind, the balsamic dressing on the house salad is very sour! That's not a bad thing, but may not be for everyone. The mandarin oranges, avocado, and candied walnuts made it bearable by giving it slight sweetness. The Hungarian goulash soup was nice and tasty; however, the cup portion is very small - much smaller than most places. Of course, each dish was more on the expensive side. The cup of soup alone was $13. This place is in Vail, CO so the cost wasn't much of a surprise - very on par with every other dining establishment in the area. The food came out very quick and all the servers at the restaurant were attentive - they constantly refilled my water, which is super nice because I go through water cups very quickly and it was a hot day! I like the ambiance and location of the restaurant. Nice place to people watch while listening to the background noise of Vail Village and enjoying some good food. read more

I will start off by saying I feel bad for all the servers working for the lady owner and lady manager of this establishment. My girlfriend and I walked in and got sat at a table. 5 mins in the manger lady comes over and starts making my gf and I feel so unwelcome. She was suppose to reserve that table for the owner. But there was no reserved sign on the table when we got sat there. So she started to tell table around us about the table issue and it made us feel so uncomfortable. On top of that she was giving us attitude the whole time. Now the owner... I feel terrible for the people who have to work for this lady. After 30 mins of us sitting there and having a drink and some snacks. She walks over and gave us some much attitude and was said "WASNT THERE A RESERVED SIGN ON THIS TABLE? Because this is my table!" we quickly replied no there wasn't. Whole time the manager was also there rolling her eyes at us and giving us a face. These ladies continued to make us feel so uncomfortable for the next couple minutes. So I just paid and left. I didn't even want to pay to be honest. We're paying customers, we did nothing to be treated this way. The owner is some old grumpy entitled lady with some money. I WOULD NOT COME BACK. read more

This place is just perfect! A wonderful patio, nice service, and GREAT people watching. We snagged an outdoor table for lunch, and couldn't be happier with our experience! The staff was talkative and accommodating and even volunteered to move us into more shade for our comfort later on in our meal. We ordered a few of their many featured cocktails, as well as the Truffled Gnocchi (Pan-seared gnocchi, asparagus and mushrooms drizzled with truffle oil and shaved Parmesan). I thought everything was reasonably priced, and the portions were large as well. We will be dreaming of the flavors in the gnocchi, it truly was fantastic. read more

Extremely rude hostess! I work in customer service and understand it gets busy and stressful. We were unseated very publicly from our table after we waited 15 minutes to sit down.

The restaurant had a cute décor, but the experience was disappointing. When we walked in, the smell of cleaning supplies was really strong.
