    Banh mi
    Lauren K.

    The service was really good despite it being a crowded Friday night right at lift closing! We didn't have to wait long. Food was 6 or 7 out of 10, we liked the burger better than the banh mi. Resort town prices as expected

    I thoroughly enjoyed the meal. I also had the fire cracker shrimp and it had a little kick to it. Service was fast and kind. We didn't feel like we were waiting too long for food. The sandwich was the BEST! Overall, the food was great and service was decent.

    Best place in Winter Park to hold a rehearsal dinner. We rented the entire venue for June 27, 2025, with 75 guests; no one ever waited for food or drinks. They were very accommodating regarding decorating and setup for the event. Kevin, Clay, and the entire staff were amazing! The food was first class. I can't recommend or thank Vertical enough for making our rehearsal dinner an unforgettable experience. 5 STAR +

    Easy access on the resort. The staff was really friendly. But Nails should not have dirt under them. After cleaning up a spill on the ground, you have to wash your hands before going back to work. The food was good. The elk burger and shrimp was great. The restaurant has that cabin feel and it's really family friendly.

    Winter Park Resort is teeny so food options are slim, especially during the summer. Vertical provides a broader menu than most of the competitors and the offerings are really good. The Colorado Elk Chili is delicious and hits the spot as you would hope on a cold day in June. The spinach ravioli is so rich and filling, it feels like dessert. So, you will feel no virtue for ordering something with spinach in it. A bar acquaintance enjoyed the baked avocado and I regret leaving before trying it myself. As desserts go, the ricotta cheesecake is scrumptious. The ambiance is very ski lodge as one would expect, with a good sized bar to eat/drink at. The happy hour offers significant savings. I was lucky enough to overlap with Todd the bartender for a couple nights and he was delightful to talk with and a great source of information about local hiking and biking trails. So , A+ for service.

Definitely filling and the move after a long ski day. The onion rings were good too - nice and crisp. The marg was strong and a fair price.

If the weather is nice enough I suggest sitting on the patio. They have a gorgeous view and plenty of seating. We tried the Juantons and they are served with their spicy green chile. It was too spicy for me so we got a side of queso and it was perfect for dipping in. I would get these again. The margs are good here too. Pretty strong.

    I originally left a review after a terrible experience at Stoney's about a month ago. Disorganized,…read morelong waits, no system, and staff that could not care less. That part alone earned the review. What happened next is where it goes from bad to embarrassing. Within a day of posting that review, two of their employees, people who have never done business with my company, decided the appropriate response was to go leave fake negative reviews on my business, McAfee Electric. Not a misunderstanding. Not a coincidence. Straight retaliation. So I updated my review with screenshots showing exactly what they did and reached out to management multiple times to give them a chance to fix it. Instead of addressing it, they doubled down. I was told my review was "emotionally based" and that I should be ashamed for including screenshots that show their employees' names and the reviews they chose to post publicly. Think about that for a second. Their employees publicly post fake reviews, and somehow I am the problem for documenting it. That tells you everything you need to know about how this place operates. Bad service is one thing. Every business has an off day. But retaliating against a customer's livelihood and then trying to spin it as the customer being "emotional" is next level unprofessional. If this is how they handle criticism, imagine how they handle anything that actually matters. Plenty of places in Winter Park that know how to run a restaurant and act like professionals. This is not one of them.

    Excellent BBQ, sauces, sides AND margaritas!…read more We're here in WP for three weeks. This is our second visit to The Smokehouse in the last 10 days. The first time we were disappointed upon arrival when they were out of burnt ends. We're from KCMO and we judge a town's BBQ by their burnt ends. Nonetheless, the brisket, sauces and sides were enough to warrant a second visit. Oh, and that house margarita...chef's kiss! Just what a tired ass mom needs after a long day of "hey moms." On the second visit, I went early at 4PM and ordered carryout. AND a margarita while I waited! The margarita is simple, the perfect size and made with all fresh ingredients. It rivals more notable ones around town. This time, they had ALL the burnt ends and boy, were they worth the wait! I got a one meat platter with burnt ends, collards and Mac n cheese. My husband got a two meat platter with burnt ends, brisket, beans and slaw. We got KC and Texas sauces (they have 5 or 6 to choose from, all inspired by different BBQ regions in the US). Both platters came with cornbread which is the only thing that needs some work IMHO. It's small, dry and not worthy of the calories. But EVERYTHING else was soooo good! Fatty, juicy, flavorful meats. Balanced sauces. And delicious sides! The Mac, collards and beans get an A+, the slaw is a solid B. Service was great on both visits. Friendly, efficient and fast! One thing to note is they have an adorable patio. I've not eaten out there yet but it's well maintained with lots of flowers and good coverage from the sun. Might have to check it out on our third visit!

I get it on ciabatta with bacon and their bacon is actually quality crispy, flavorful, not flimsy. The chipotle aioli is what really makes it though. So good. Heads up: this sandwich is big. Like, if you're not a big eater, you could easily split it. I didn't even finish mine and gave about a quarter to my mom It's perfect if you're about to have an active day and need something filling. I also ordered a medium matcha with vanilla and my total came out to about $20, which is a little pricey in my opinion but the portion size makes up for it. The matcha was good, but quick tip: if you like your drinks sweet, make sure to ask for sugar or flavor. I always forget and end up with a bitter drink lol. Everyone here is always super nice and welcoming. I genuinely have nothing bad to say about this place. I go here often and already plan to be back in a couple weeks.
