My group stopped in for some brunch on Sunday and am so glad we did! The place is designed with a lot TVs, tin signs and is super welcoming. I tried the chicken hash and ate every single bite. They also have a couple pool tables which makes me think they do more than just brunch. I also got a Bloody Mary with tequila and loved the spice level. For sure a place I'll be back to try more of their entrees :) read more

Route 6 Cafe is a great sports bar favored by locals. It was recommended to me by a Beaver Creek bus driver as I was looking for a place that was open late and was not fancy. I have been a couple of times and have not been disappointed. I've enjoyed a burger and a philly cheese steak. Both were delicious. This most recent visit I ordered at the bar and sat outside (trivia inside and the weather was glorius). The outdoor seating was pleasant enough and my food was delivered to the table very timely. Will definitely be back when in town later this year. read more

This casual spot serves an excellent breakfast. if you're the kind of person who appreciates boujie breakfast, you can stop reading now. I love divey breakfast joints with great omelets. Save the sardou for the rest of y'all fancy people. Finding this spot was a little bit of a fluke. I found another spot in nearby Vail but when we arrived I quickly learned they don't want outsiders in Vail. No parking that we could find. on the way back towards Avon, we found this spot. An old Harley was the only vehicle in the lot. inside there were maybe five other customers. I started to grow concerned but all was erased when the food arrived. This was the best omelet I have ever had in Colorado. I can't imagine many tourists go here but if you find yourself in the area, you really should go. read more

20+ year patron of Route 6 Cafe, going back to the prior location at the old gas station further east on 6. Went for lunch today, sat at the bar. Bartender was great and took our order. Not busy, but it was an hour before the kitchen could produce a burger and a sandwich - not for lack of bartender trying to get them moving and issuing many apologies for the continual delays. Actually getting up to surrender and leave when the food finally arrived. Cold, soggy fries (wrong type to boot). Overall very bad food. Poor barkeep ending up comping the meal because he felt so bad about it. Go for a drink, maybe play some pool, or listen to some music. But whatever you do don't go for a meal. Awful. read more

The waitress was high AF. Didn't give my 5 year old her order. Only to come back and say the "chef" won't make it (she wanted the simple pasta with butter). Which is on the kids menu. Avoid at all costs. Would give zero stars but I cannot Edit: never received water despite asking 2x read more

Good food, good attitude, I like this place! Bartender Chelsae was cool made a few friends. I just moved here for work and have been searching for a place where I feel at home I think this is it! read more

Clean & in a convenient location right off I70 in the Colorado mountains. Friendly staff eager to provide excellent customer service. I had the chicken quesadilla which I had hoped to be more flavorful but was actually a bit bland and uninspiring. The other guests in our large group seemed to enjoy their meals, so next time I'll look forward to trying a different dish. Good luck to the ownership and management of Route 6 Cafe! read more

I love this place for Sunday brunch, but I will say today was pretty busy. My boyfriend and I got the last open table around 11 and were seated in the corner in the sun (I hate that table). I got a Bloody Mary which was pretty good. He ordered a coffee and it took so long to get cream and sugar we had to ask another waitress for it. By the time we finally got our food it was past 12. Although was my food was delicious (besides the slightly burnt toast), they forgot the onions and cheese on my boyfriend's hash browns. I heard one of the table a few tables down complaining to one of the mangers about the service. Overall it was great food, but the service and ambiance just wasn't the best today. read more

What better place to catch up with old friends than here--or just down the street at VBC? Route 6 might not seem like anything special, but to the locals of the valley, it's great. The prices are fair, the food is great, and the atmosphere is exactly what you'd hope for in a bar. It's a hidden gem in the Vail Valley, perfect for escaping the fine dining spots that could break the bank for us peasants. read more

If you are celiac or have a gluten allergy, this place is for you! Even if you are not, the food was amazing. We got the fish and chips, venison chili, calamari/shrimp, and chicken wings. The chicken wings were so crispy and the hot sauce was so tasty - would highly recommend. They use a dedicated friers so this was the first time eating fish and chips and fried calamari as a celiac. read more

Definitely a local spot and we love it! They have a quite varied menu with lots of American fare. SOOOOOO many gluten free options and everything is hearty and tasty. The service is fast and they are friendly. Something about the place is homey and comforting. We love that they decorate for Christmas. read more

Stopped here for lunch on a Sunday afternoon around 1. The restaurant was less than half full and the tables that were occupied were finished eating. Our party of 4 Sat on the patio. We ordered pancakes, kids French toast, a ham and cheese omelette and an Asian wrap. The Asian wrap with sweet potato fries was the only decent meal we got. Not great just decent. The sweet potato fries were good. It took more than 30 minutes for our food to come out. When it did come out, the hashbrowns were black and cold. The French toast was half cooked. The omelette had no flavor. We had to ask for condiments including butter for the toast (which was also cold and chewy). No one came to check on us and I had to hunt the waitress down to pay the check. And to add insult to injury they charge you to use your CC. Just skip this disaster and go somewhere else. I wish I would have!!! read more

Came here after a long morning with little sleep from a day assisting filming with NBC, this spot was pretty close by the Vail resorts & my people said they enjoyed it from the other day so we came back for an early lunch. Let's see route 6 diner is a calm spot for sure staff was chill & we were seated quickly, the waitress gave us menus & a few minutes to order I was being so indecisive stuck between 3-4 items I wanted to order lol. The service was good & the place was clean as for food I ended up ordering the breakfast burrito & some French toast I ate everything except half my burrito I took that home & ate the rest after my nap it tasted better then lol (no shade) it was just a strange morning is all, the food portions sizes were good definitely more then enough for one person. Recommend I would eat here again for sure. read more

This used to be an o.k. place for breakfast. I have no idea how it went so far downhill. I found something floating in my beverage, and they still charged me for it. I was supposed to get hashbrowns, didn't, had to ask for them. They should probably buy a water filter, as the tap water has a very distinct "taste." Last but not least, they have gone to a cash discount that they don't tell you about until you get the bill, then they add it to your bill if you pay with a card. read more

Second year in a row we stopped in for breakfast while staying in Vail. Very good breakfast food and large servings. Very friendly staff. Highly recommend. read more

This was the worst dining experience of my entire life. From the moment I stepped in the door until I left, it was horrible. It took about 30 minutes to be seated even though there was plenty of open room. When the host finally acknowledged our existence, he spoke with a fake Australian accent before continuing to ignore us. When we finally sat down, the waitress completely forgot about us. After 1 hour and still not getting any our coffee, we had to find the waitress ourselves and remind her we ordered food and coffee. That didn't work though and another 20 minutes went bye before complaining a second time. The food tasted mediocre at best and was aesthetically displeasing. I can't stress enough how bad my experience was with this restaurant. The Taco Bell drive through has better service. I would Rather starve than eat there a second time. I highly recommend avoiding it. read more

Good portabello ravioli! Fun atmosphere and a pool table and music and a separate bar and dining room!

Stopped here for breakfast and a mimosa on the birthday trip. Atmosphere: super cool cafe/bar feel inside. Like just a good ol boy family ran style place. Really fun ambiance. Food: their biscuits and gravy were awesome. HoMemade biscuits are so worth the calories. The huevos rancheros was good and has it unique twist with the corn tortillas I really liked! Definitely will make another visit to this place when we return. I'm excited to see the evening/night life. read more

Dry hash browns and sausage were burnt and threw off the flavor of the whole meal. We really wanted to like it. The owner and waitress were super nice but the meal wasn't great, read more

Had a great night out here seeing this awesome band, Vail Valley Band. The whole place was hopping with couples dancing. We ordered dinner and the grub was good! Thanks Ali. Patty Patty Melt Burger, Bacon cheese Burger.....were solid. Come have dinner, lunch or breakfast here or go to the bar and listen to some awesome music every Sunday! read more

Route 6 seems like the type of place where locals know to go to for a reliably good meal of comfort food. They also serve several entrees one wouldn't expect from a cafe such as Curries, Picattas and Yorkshire Pudding. I had the Cheeseburger with a side of fried okra and was pleased. At $9 during happy hour it was a great deal, and very filling. There's an adjoining bar to the cafe and it also is very down to earth and has some surprisingly good cocktails on the menu. The staff at the cafe and restaurant were attentive and welcoming. All in all a pretty good cafe and I'd go back. read more

Average. One Yelp user said "meh" with two stars, and I generally concur, except the food is pretty decent. Average service, average bathroom cleanliness. My wife said that the general experience was "mediocre", but added that her burger (the Across the border burger) was very good. The waiters and waitresses are pretty unprofessionally dressed/groomed, but provided decent service. Also, it was slightly on the expensive side for the food quality. read more

Stopped in for brunch on Saturday on the most beautiful day. The patio was packed and everyone was enjoying getting out and about. The host was the sweetest man with a BEST accent! He showed us to a table right away! I got the chicken fried chicken plate and it hit the stop. My dad got the bagel with cream cheese and salmon and he devoured it! My hubby got the crab cakes and poached eggs. We had no complaints in our group. It was a quick and fresh brunch! The only thing I noticed was that they didn't season the eggs or chicken with much salt but it probably did my health good to not have that much salt on it! 10/10 would go back! read more

Chngecd my rating from 5 to 3 stars to get Ollie's ( (owner) attention. I wait all year to return for their great Tuna Melt but was told it will be discontinued. So will we. No Tuna Melt, no more Route 6 for us. Was always our favorite place to eat and have easily referred hundreds to it. read more

I want to love this place! Met the owner several times! Great guy. Great vibe in this place! However, I hate standing at the bar for 5 minutes while the bartenders ignore you , tying they're shoes. Wiping down the counter tops all while I'm standing right in plain sight! This happens all the time with the bar staff! No hello or thank you! Or how about may I help you? Meanwhile, the couple next to me said, " are they blind?" I'm done! There's plenty of places in vail to spend my money without getting treated like shit! Minus my mother in laws house! read more

Definitely a local spot. But service, food and staff were all good. I had breakfast and my husband had the Colorado burger which both were delicious and well put together. read more

Route 6 Cafe is a casual type establishment, located right off the highway. Yet, you feel like you are located off the beaten path some where. It's a good place to grab a reasonably priced breakfast. It has a cool atmosphere of diner meets dive bar. We ordered the Chicken Fried Steak, Vegetable Omelet, and Two Eggs Scrambled. The food was fine, a bit on the salty side, but everything was cooked made to order. It did take a while to receive our order. I think there was only one cook in the back and there were two tables ahead of us. There is ample seating inside and convenient parking right out front. read more

We were looking for a family friendly spot. I wasn't sure if they had a kids menu, so I called them. The man who answered was very welcoming and friendly, he even said "Cheers" when we hung up. That sealed the deal. "Kids get in the car, we're heading to Route 6." What a great set up, bright lights and an open dining room looking out onto the front patio. A very fun vibe. The is a very large separate bar area. The third reason why I feel in love with this place, the patrons at the bar were also super friendly. There were well behaved dogs just hanging out, and wagging their happy tails at us. What a fun and inviting establishment! Very spacious, and there was seating inside and out. What about the food, Kimberly?? I had chicken and pasta. The chicken was prepared deliciously, and I appreciated that there was so much lemon incorporated. The pasta serving had a lovely al dente texture and it was just enough to enjoy, but not so much that it felt like gluttony. Perfectly portioned and wonderfully seasoned. My family also enjoyed their food. The whole crew was happy. Our server's name was Hippy Jeff, and he was so nice. Checked on us frequently, and he was engaging with my shy little monkeys. We had a few rough moments earlier in the day. (people letting it be known that they don't care for Californians). It's very laughable and also sad that you've made up your mind about disliking someone you've never met. Colorado is beautiful, I really don't care about a few ignorant hippos, BUT I don't need it to ruin my 6 year olds vacation either. SO, as we were leaving, I told Hippy Jeff that we loved the entire experience. The decor, the patrons, the dogs, the food, and the wonderful service he provided. Do you know what he did when I tipped him? He hugged me. The biggest most wonderful hug that I had experienced in days! Thanks route 6, these Californians will be back the next time we're in town. I'd like to have a date night with the husband at the bar, it looked like such a good time. read more

Just stopped to eat here and the waitress immediately informed us that the cook didn't like cooking breakfast. Then we sat down and waited over 20 minutes without acknowledgment we were even there. We left and went somewhere else. Would not recommend. read more

Love Route 6 Cafe! If you're looking for comfort food and a lot of gluten-free options then this is one of the best places in the valley. Ollie and all the staff are great! Good selection of hard ciders and beer. Depending on when you go it can be rockin' or quiet. Love the outdoor patio in the warmer months. They can be short-staffed sometimes (just like everywhere) so be patient if it takes time to get seated and order. It's worth the wait. read more

The breakfast food is great (breakfast burritos and omelets are our go to) but more importantly we come back because we're treated like family. The owner, Ollie, is second to none and a true local (although from across the pond). If you want a spot outside of the Vail craziness, make your way to Route 6! Decent sized parking lot but parking can be tough during peak hours. Atmosphere is a mix between outdoor patio, dining room, and bar area. Good for whatever you're looking for. read more

We had a table of 14 and they were short handed but some how managed to get our food and drinks out in a reasonable length of time and with a smile on their face. The menu had something for everyone! Was so impressed with the quality of service for a crowd this large!! Food was great! read more

Kids toy area, affordable good food, and I get to talk to my husband alone for 20 minutes while the kids play. Did I mention the kids toy room!? Brilliant! Fun live music on the other (bar) side. Engaged hard working owner. This is our go to family dinner place in EagleVail. read more

We've been here a bunch this Summer and it's a solid place. We've mostly had breakfast-stuffs, all of which has been delicious.

Route 6 is our local comfort food place. The food is consistently excellent. The service is always smiling, led by the kind welcome from Ollie, the owner. The ambiance is friendly with funky memorabilia. It's great for families. Our grandkids love the play room. I'm a coffee snob and I think their coffee is great. Also great drinks. read more

Great food but the WORST service i've ever had, and I've worked in and owned restaurants in tourist towns (CA and CO) for 10+ years. To summarize: - Sat and then ignored for 20 minutes (by who I assume was the owner) - We tried to wave someone down to have them get whoever our waitress was and were entirely ignored for another 10 minutes after that. - Saw the wait staff fighting over "who would have to take our table" (I regularly tip 30% so that's a mistake) - Food was out late and we received one item as we were getting the bill - only received one set of silverware between 3 dishes ordered - wait staff had no problem serving & chatting with all the locals and never came to us. I don't care how good the food is. If you treat your customers like this they won't come back. It wasn't crowded, no excuses except the waitress saying "oops I neglected you didn't I". There's so many other good spots that source locally, skip this one. read more
