Our sever Kaya was super friendly and attentive. We ordered the buffalo chicken wings. They were quite tasty. Mouse on the inside and crispy on the outside. Each of us ordered the bloody Mary's. They were quite good. Since this is a scratch kitchen, they also make their own Bloody Mary mix. We will be back to try more items next time we are in Telluride.

We stopped in for dinner this past week while visiting Telluride…read more It was busy but we were able to get a table. Our sever Levi was very friendly, attentive and knowledgeable of the menu. For drinks we ordered dirty martinis. They were filled to the rim which was nice but could have been colder. The menu looked great. We went with burgers. We ordered the Smokehouse burger medium rare with cheddar, house bbq, crispy onions, bacon plus all the toppings. It was cooked perfectly. It came with a spicy slaw. So delicious. We also ordered the Truffle mushroom burger medium with a mixture of cremini, oyster, shiitake mushrooms plus Swiss cheese and truffle aioli plus all the toppings. It was cooked perfectly medium. It also came with the delicious slaw. The buns were a bit big but at least they were soft and delicious. The dessert. So tasty. Honestly $27 is pricy for a burger but it was very good. We would come back to Smuggler union try other menu items next time we return to Telluride.

Loved it here! I…read moreenjoyed it here so much that I came back 3 times. I was looking for a casual place for lunch, and I came across Cornerhouse Grille! It's conveniently located in town and near a few hiking trails. One of the times I went here I actually walked over after a hike. They have two outdoor patios, a back room, bar area, and front room... oh, and a bay window with more seating. This is a very popular spot for the locals. During the day it was very busy and a little noisy; I was glad there was outdoor space to eat as well. I tried their tea, burgers, chicken and fries. Everything I had here was delicious and fresh! I highly recommend it here. I can't wait to go back and stop in again. If you're looking for quality, fresh food, you should go here!

Stopped into Brown Dog Pizza and it absolutely delivered…read more Built my own Detroit-style pizza and it was --crispy edges, loaded with flavor, and done right. Paired it with a melon Long Island, which was a perfect mix and hit the spot. For a small mountain town sitting close to 10,000 feet, this place is legit. Great food, great vibe, and worth the stop if you're anywhere nearby. Must stop.

I'm very picky about pizza. This pizza was delicious…read more The reason I'm knocking off a star is because the way they handle the waitlist and crowd control. We just wanted pizza and every night there was over an hour wait. Just take reservations for goodness sake. Put a time limit if you are worried people will dine too long. Instead people are standing outside in the cold waiting around for a table to open. After a 90 minute wait we finally placed an order to go. It was delicious but they could handle their customers in a more respectful way.

It is also attached to the Camel's Garden Hotel so a convenient location. The bartenders, cashiers and other staff seamed friendly. They were in and out delivering food and cleaning up after everyone quickly. Drinks came quickly and were nice pours. For food, we ordered the steak fries, very good. Crispy outside, tender inside. Nachos were also very tasty. Real cheese not the sauce type fake cheese. Good toppings. The pork sandwich was a little dry and needed seasoning and sauce. The burger was a little dry as well, not cooked to order and the bun was dry and fell apart. But it came with all the toppings. Inside the restaurant were several families. Packed! Kids running around everywhere. It was way too chaotic for us personally so we sat outside. The patio was busy every afternoon with people and pups alike. I was sad to see so many people leave their dogs outside on the patio unattended, barking and whining looking for their person while they are inside drinking and dining. This happened every day so it seams normal. Telluride is a very dog friendly town. Overall good for after ski atmosphere. There seamed to always be some activity happening outside to watch or participate.
