Kids chicken tenders, cheese quesadillas, impossible burger and single patty burger. Best thing we ate was the waffle fries.
Brian P.

Eh. Came him in the summer so it's off season. Bunch a locals. Got seated in the back patio which is great. Service was fine. Took a bit to get our kids milkshakes but the real bummer was the food. I thought the burgers were one of this places staples but both mine and my wife's were under seasoned, the bun was cold, grilled onions were also cold and barely grilled and just not good which was a disappointment. Best thing we had was the waffle fries which were crispy and well seasoned.

While driving west on I-70, I saw a highway sign regarding restaurants and lodging. The Southside Benderz sounded interesting. Getting off at the Avon exit it took a bit of navigating. Avon has lots of roundabouts with very little signage. The front didn't look promising until I noticed the great looking well shaded patio. Walking inside, I was greeted by a large bar with comfortable seating. Up a short flight of stairs was another dining area and the kitchen. Unfortunately, they had only 1 server on a Monday afternoon, so the patio was not available. I was served by Monica. Her manager assisted. I sat in the upper room, starting with a draft of Pacifico. Nice big menu with standards you would expect in a burger place. Most of the customers were locals with a few groups of tourists. I ordered the single (6oz) burger with pepperjack cheese, mushrooms, jalapeños and small side of shoestring truffle fries. The burger came with lettuce, tomato and red onion for no additional charge. Very good burger, cooked medium. I asked Monica about their desserts. She recommended the chocolate cake. I got a large slice with fudge between the layers and on top for only $11. I skipped the vanilla ice cream. As I was paying the bill, I noticed an increasing number of servers arriving. Happy Hour is 2-530pm daily. They have drink specials Mon-Thur with extended hours on Thursday. They add a 4% Living Wage Fee for staff. Clean restrooms.

Great little place in Avon Colorado, next door to another great little place . Hamburgers were amazing! Will definitely be coming back and highly recommend.

Pickle shots!!

Came here with some friends before a show this weekend and it was the perfect casual spot for a quick bite. We all went super basic with orders like quesadilla, buffalo wings, chicken tenders and some fries. Everything was good!! Super classic no real frills needed type of spot. Awesome pickle shots and the sweet potato fries are amazing and sprinkled with brown sugar. Service was fine but it was super snowy and busy! Would return :)

Over cooked crap
Sara A.

This was the worst experience I've had in a long time. Bartender forgot our appetizer and then tried to charge us for it. Ignored us the whole time. Food was over cooked and gross. Never again

The service needs improvement due to understaffing. I felt sorry for the bartender as he had no help.

We did takeout and the food was fresh and tasty, but much of it was incredibly salty, particularly the burgers and the fried pickles.

I have lived in Vail 55 years and frequent Northside 4 to 5 times a week. Yes! It is that good…read more The environment is friendly and service top notch. Tonight I had the salmon which was incredible with a glass of wine. The wine selection is exceptional. Very pleased.

So I thought it important to hear a review from a local resident who frequents this establishment…read moreregularly. I consider myself a professional diner...meaning I am out 3-4 nights a week, and Northside Kitchen is my most favorite restaurant in the Vail Valley. I usually dine at the bar where either Connor or Brandon are not only offering service with a smile, but are also welcoming everyone who walks through the door! Their custom cocktails are awesome, but I go for their insanely extensive wine by the glass menu!! Caymus, Silver Oak, Duckhorn, Quilt, and about 40 other high end wines are all offered by the glass at Northside! Both 6oz and 9oz pours are available. The dining staff, are professional, pressed, and knowledgeable about wine, food, and professional fine dining service levels. The dining room offers beautiful white linen covered in butchers paper, with the perfect level of lighting to see both the menu and the guests you are dining with. The dining room and porch are modern and clean. The menu items, created by Chef Noah Bender, are delicious! Hand cut steaks and Prime Rib are favs, but don't be afraid to try their pappardelle Bolognese or the fantastic fresh "sea to table" black cod or trout! It's dynamite! You will find the service in the dining room attentive yet not overwhelming. Northside Kitchen to me is one of the most underrated fine dining restaurants in the Vail Valley!! Definitely go give this great spot a try!!

The Lookout is a lobby bar inside the Westin Riverfront in Avon. If you've tried the food in Maya…read moreand you loved it like me, then you will love the snacks that they offer here. Both kitchens are ran by chef Angel! Westin turned 25% of the lobby adjacent to the Lookout and extended the space to accommodate the pandemic guidelines. There's the other side as well that will be on your left as you walk in to May. We tried the ff: 1. Cheese and charcuterie board. 2. Margherita pizza 3. Lookout burger 4. Rose Bowl cocktail and Cherry Manhattan 5. The Candy Shop Everything was tasty and done with so much care. Fat, juicy burger! The pizza was amazing and the charcuterie board board was A+! But you know in life what surprised you the most sometimes is something you didn't see coming. This was the dessert in the form of the Candy Store. This tray was loaded with créme brulee, m&m's ,ice cream, cookies, sprinkles etc! Amazing! It was impossible to finish between the two of us! No kidding! This was a miniature candy store! Made me giddy! The Rosebowl was created by Grant Lewis. The Beverage Director. I will get this again! The entire staff was amazing. Met Chef Angel when he brought out the Candy Store. This guy can cook! Woohoo!

Kitchen closes at 9pm. Casual spot with good amount of seating. Food is decent. Steak a bit dry…read more Chilli a bit watery. Truffle fries are great. Would stick to basics here if quality is important. Service is fast and great.
