Parmesan garlic wings
Lori W.

Love this place, they have the best chicken wings around! I got the Parmesan garlic wings and they were delicious. Our server was very friendly. The ambience is great, they had the football games on. Can't wait to come back!

Inside

This place was Backcountry Wings. Now it's The Crazy Chicken. The food was amazing. We got 15 wings, cheese curds and truffle parm brussel sprouts. The wings flavors we got were garlic buffalo, Cajun and basian. Basian is buttery Asian. A little sweet but very good. The Cajun dry rub and garlic buffalo were great. The cheese curds were just what you would expect if you've had good curds. The truffle parm brussel sprouts were crispy and tasty. They have a great selection of beers and a ton of tvs. There was college football and skiing on. Our waitress at the bar was very helpful and had good recommendations. She was attentive and kept our drinks coming. In terms of the ambiance, it feels like a ski town sports bar. That's probably the best way to describe it. Casual dress, jerseys, maybe even ski boots, but the floor would be crazy slippery if you did that, so I wouldn't recommend it. They might not allow it even. It's very much a locals place and it's very lodgy feeling. It's definitely a place that we'll be coming back to again and again.

Everything was amazing. They had the perfect fryer. The lemon, dry rub chicken wings to die for, onion rings, amazing, sweet potato, tater tots, top notch, and smash burgers out of this world. I loved it.

My husband and I stopped in to have lunch today after a lovely hike. We really like this small town and especially liked this bar and Grill with its country vibe. The bartender/waitress was very nice and helpful. It has a beautiful view, looking out to the mountain from their open window that we sat next to at a table. We both had a weekly lunch special, which was five wings and a side. The wings and the salad we chose were good as well as the service. The restaurant had a nice relaxing atmosphere in the afternoon.

Medium chicken wings
Rick K.

If you like breaded chicken wings (or even if you don't) this place was really good. I have to warn you though - the medium wings were closer to hot. Pretty darn spicy. I'm not sure if they always run that hot but I was on fire. It has a cool locals vibe and a bunch of tvs to watch sports. I'll be back for sure.

Baked potatoes were delicious!
Rachel P.

We had a great dinner! I'm vegetarian and found a lot on the menu. The GOAT salad with vegan chicken is awesome. Kids loved the chicken wings, cauliflower, and baked potatoes. Whisky sauce is delicious. The atmosphere is a bar. It was busy but not crowded. The music was great and tvs entertaining. We liked the music videos. Waitress was friendly and the service was fast. We will be back again soon.

Cheese Curds

This place was awesome! The restaurant was absolutely packed when we came in, and the staff was very accommodating considering how crazy it was. I was so impressed! The town itself is absolutely adorable. This is a great place to come to watch sports, hang out, and have a beer. For appetizers, we got chips & queso and cheese curds. Both were good, but the cheese curds were GREAT! We also got tenders, wings, and fries. Wing flavors we got were Honey whiskey, KC Barbeque, Basian, Cajun,Buffalo Garlic, and Garlic Parmesan. All were great, but the honey whiskey seemed to be everyone's "best wings ever".

Enjoying the wings!!!

Mountain Standard - Crab mozzarella sticks

We love Mountain standard because it shows us where the local Vails hanging out as we visited on…read moreMonday Evenning. Recommended Grilled octopus for appetizer. So, umami. Must try is the pork shank. Seems like every table ordered it. I like my grilled mahi mahi with asparagus, quinoa & creamy harissa sauce. I like the well decor atmosphere & open kitchen. They also have outdoor patio. Great service. Prices are on average for Vail Village. Would love to go back and try more!

I've been coming to Mountain Standard for years, for lunch and dinner, usually at the bar. The…read morebartenders have always been knowledgeable, engaging and genuinely fun. It's the sort of hospitality that keeps me returning. Two dinners this past weekend reminded me why I love the place, but also why I think it's slipped a notch. Friday was lovely. My partner and I arrived between lunch and dinner, settled in at the bar, and ordered a Manhattan and a draft beer. Some fries kept the hangriness at bay. The bartenders were terrific, as usual. Then dinner arrived. The $54 Angus hanger steak comes with miso creamed corn, toasted sesame, tempura maitakes and Japanese BBQ butter. An ambitious supporting cast for a good piece of beef. The steak was delicious, but we ordered medium-well and received medium-rare. That's quite a miss at this price. We didn't send it back because my partner didn't want to make a scene. Worse, the sauce overwhelmed the plate. A good steak should be the star, not an extra in its own production. The $23 crab mozzarella sticks, with green onion, pecorino and shrimp-and-Calabrian-chili sauce, sounded fun. Unfortunately, the crab tasted distinctly fishy, not fresh, and the sauce seemed to be trying its best to cover it up. That's an expensive mozzarella stick with a serious identity crisis. We finished with Meyer lemon tiramisu, port and two espressos. The tiramisu was good, though the crumble on top seemed an odd, unnecessary flourish. The port and espresso were perfect. Friday remained a wonderful evening because the bar and its people are that good. Saturday we returned with friends and sat in the dining room. Packed, energetic and LOUD. I enjoy a lively restaurant, but I also enjoy hearing the people at my table. Drinks were slow, and the delays continued throughout dinner. Everyone was courteous; the whole operation just felt off. Credit to the manager and front desk team for pitching in to deliver food rather than leaving an overwhelmed staff to sink. We shared the $16 whipped tahini dip, served with Lebanese pickles, crispy shallots, marinated feta and warm pita. The pita was excellent: puffy, warm, irresistible. The dip tasted good too, but with so many competing elements, it felt like one ingredient too many. Not every appetizer needs a committee. My $39 rotisserie piri piri chicken was tender and nicely spiced. Unfortunately, its smashed steak fries were undercooked and practically submerged in poppy seed yogurt. The sauce overflowed the plate. Somewhere beneath that yogurt lake was a very good dinner. My partner's Standard wedge was similarly overburdened: too much dressing, prosciutto and blue cheese, leaving the salad excessively salty. Our friends ordered the $54 hanger steak and $46 grilled Pacific sea bass. The steak once again seemed over-sauced, and the decorative corn shoots were promptly pushed aside. The bass, at least on paper, is a thoughtful combination of toasted farro, pickled carrot salad, basil and miso carrot butter. I can't speak to how it tasted, but the recurring excess across the table was hard to miss. Here's the frustration: Mountain Standard has talent, imagination, a great location and genuinely good people. But creativity isn't the same as piling on ingredients, and more sauce doesn't mean more sophistication. Across two dinners, there were missed cooking temperatures, underdone potatoes, questionable crab and dishes that needed editing. That's training, restraint and execution, not a need for a new menu. I still consider Mountain Standard one of the Vail Valley's best restaurants. But let's acknowledge that the competition here isn't exactly fierce. Too many resort restaurants seem content to rest on their laurels, knowing another wave of visitors is coming. Being among the best in the valley shouldn't be the finish line. Would I return? Absolutely, especially to the bar. The hospitality remains a real strength. But before the winter crowds arrive, I'd love to see the kitchen tighten things up and the dining room find its rhythm. Mountain Standard doesn't need another garnish or another sauce. It needs to make the very good ideas it already has work consistently. Three-plus stars, with genuine hope for more next time.

Always such a fun visit. Great live music for apres ski. Usually we always get their veggie platter…read moreand chips and queso / salsa. Super good. Service is always great You need to do the shot ski

We stopped in at the Red Lion after skiing…read more It was crowded and we were looking for an outside table for six people. Only four of us were there as the other two were across the street at Christy's returning their rental skis. There was a table of 6 but the hostess said she couldn't sit us until the other two arrived. Right then, a guy walks up and asks for that same table. He was by himself and she gave the table with six chairs to him. His full party was clearly not there but she sat him anyway. Why is that allowed? Clearly favoritism. And to be clear, two of his friends showed up and the other three never arrived. So, at that point we told the hostess we were now a table of four and she said we could sit at a table that had 3 chairs. Well okay....we took it. We grabbed the table and asked other tables around us for the extra 3 chairs and everyone was nice enough to give us the extra chairs. Our server, Suzanne was excellent. Very attentive, friendly and immediately brought us our drinks and food. The nachos were tasty. Drinks were good but pricy. I give Suzanne 5 stars, food 3 stars hostess 0 stars. Treat everyone fairly and respectfully. The hostess could use customer service training.
