It was the cutest little place off the highway! We got seated nearly immediately outside, which has nice views of the mountains. It did take a little bit for someone to welcome us and get our drink order, and we ordered food then as well. The tables outside are high quality and look nice and the seats are comfortable. I ordered the Mai Tai Mimosa and the Bison Tenderloin Benedict. The mimosa came out fast & was in a stemless wine glass--a bit odd, but it was good nonetheless. As a lover of salt, I felt salt and pepper shakers on the table would've been nice, but again everybody has their preferences. The bison tenderloin was delicious, but I prefer my meat medium rare; it was closer to well done. That would've knocked my socks off! The only thing I would improve is cooking the meat less & having stuff on the table, such as salt and pepper, sugar for coffee, ketchup, etc. I would return! read more

Well let's say it's a firm No. First of all we waited 15 minutes at the hostess stand only for two employees to say "they can't help because they are servers and not the hostess". Finally one of the same servers who couldn't help handed me breakfast menus and said go sit somewhere. Hmm really?! First of all why couldn't that have been done 15 minutes ago and secondly it's 1pm what happened to the lunch menu? After selecting a table inside I literally had to go search and find the lunch menu and bring them to my table because no one and I mean NO ONE was willing to help. Meanwhile the line was out the door for people waiting to sit because there was still no hostess. Anyway sat and another 15 minutes go by before a waitress comes to ask for our beverage order. Another 10 minutes before she comes back for the food order. 30 minutes later our food arrives. Both were the wrong order! First of all I ordered the salmon ramen bowl which has the ingredients outlined on the menu. It came with "extras" including an egg which is only said to be in the short rib ramen bowl dish...interesting. The other item was waffles with turkey bacon. The waffles had ham and sausage cooked inside and regular bacon on the side. Hmmm? What happened to the "turkey"? When we mentioned the total time spent (1 hour) from walking into to actually getting food and that the order was wrong the waitress said "I guess I can take it off your bill". Um yes because we didn't eat the food nor did we want the incorrect items. Good food and service are hard to find these days and especially during mud-season in a ski town. Honestly no food looked appetizing and surrounding tables had issues with their orders as well. How this place has a high rating I have no clue but I'd recommend trying some place else. read more

We stop here every time we drive by it's a must! I would order 4 entrees just for myself if I could. The French onion soup is amazing - is you're not a huge cheese person I'd ask for light Swiss because they give you a huge portion. Short rib ramen - short rib is cooked perfectly. Sister had the green chili and loved it and another had the biscuits and gravy which he said was the best she's ever had. Definitely stop in! Our waitress was also fantastic! read more

We love this place! Sat outside in gorgeous weather around several cute dogs, and received perfect service and excellent food. We stop here every time we're in Vail. Management is top notch too. read more

We always stop at Westside Cafe when we are staying near Vail. IMO, this is the BEST breakfast spot in the area. Service is great. Food is great. Coffee is great. They have cocktails and beer available. Today I had the huevos rancheros and my wife had the avocado toast. Both were great and came out fast. I don't like to wait for breakfast and that's one reason I really like west side. Come early on weekends or be prepared to wait for a table! **dog friendly patio** read more

Stick to breakfast... My friend and I recently went here for some post mountain eats- to my surprise they don't serve breakfast food after 3pm so we were forced to order off of their dinner menu. I got a roasted chicken and my friend got the Bison Meatloaf. Both meals were the most tasteless, bland, underprepared meals I've ever paid for in a restaurant- and they weren't cheap either. It tasted like my roasted chicken was prepared by a college freshman just learning how to use an air fryer- the lack of taste and seasoning combined with how dry the chicken was is surprising to say the least. (and this was after the server suggested the chicken is "way better" than the Salmon so i'm GLAD i didn't order that.) TLDR: Don't order food from here after 3pm. Their breakfast is to die for, the dinner is to die from. read more

Don't be fooled by other reviews. The "spectacular view" is across the highway which means you sit basically in the parking lot to see it the mountains and listen to trucks roll by at high speed. The cafe is attached to a hotel, so the quality is fine but nothing to write home about. read more

Good, solid cafe serving traditional breakfasts at a reasonable price. If you need a break from Vail's boutique restaurant scene, or a solid meal as you are traveling through town this is great place. It is located on theEast side of town just off the I-70 freeway next to a hotel. This place was recommended to me by a local resident. read more

Whether or not you're staying at the attached hotel, you need to make it a priority to visit Westside Cafe and Market on your next trip to Vail. We were told by three different strangers we chatted up throughout the day that we couldn't leave without stopping here. With that kind of press, how could we pass it up? We ended up being in a bit of a rush in the morning, so we opted to get our orders to go. You can order anything off of their menu to go, but it will take some time before your meal is ready. If you need more 'grab and go' options, they have massive cinnamon rolls, pastries, bagels and schmear, and breakfast sandwiches. Don't forget a full coffee bar and a fridge section with water, soda, and juice. We ordered an everything bagel with honey walnut schmear and a breakfast sandwich with bison, egg, american cheese on an everything bagel. The honey walnut spread is absolutely delicious. There are actually chunks of walnut, so if you prefer your peanut butter creamy, this might not be the one for you. I, however, found it to be magical. I was a little disappointed with the breakfast sandwich. We had the tiniest little strip of bison meat across the entire bagel. It was like a slice of meat you'd find in a fajita. But just one. I know bison is getting harder to source, but I would have gladly paid extra for one more piece. Otherwise, my egg and cheese sandwich was satisfying. If you do decide to dine in this quaint, rustic paradise with a view of the mountains, be sure to arrive early or put your name on the wait list via the Yelp app. There aren't many tables, or big tables for that matter, so be prepared to wait. However, I'm sure you'll pass the time just fine with the gorgeous view! Overall, great experience. Will definitely come back and make time to dine in because the eggs Benedict and heuvos rancheros are calling our names! read more

This restaurant is attached to the doubletree. I saw the great reviews and decided to come here for breakfast before heading out. We were seated immediately. I ordered a chocolate chip waffle and a side of bacon. My husband ordered the farmers omelette with sourdough. The waffle was delicious and rich - I couldn't finish. My husband really enjoyed his omelette and hash browns. Our total without tip was $26. Great breakfast option in Vail! read more

The food was good. The service not so much. He never checked on us until we flagged him down. I got one cup of drip coffee, was never offered a refill. So when I asked for a coffee to go he charged me again for another cup. I get Vail is expensive, but at least disclose I will be charged for another cup and I can make that decision. read more

Overall the food here is absolutely amazing! The fact that you can get mixed styles of the egg Benedict makes it a real dining experience. You can get everything from chicken and waffles eggs Benedict to south of the border pulled pork, or even bison! I also got the chicken fried steak and dipped it in gravy and it was one of the best I've ever had. Only downside of this place was the wait is very long here on Saturday morning, probably an hour and a half even though they said it was going to take 35 minutes to be seated. Food was definitely five stars, service was great! The only reason why this is in a five star review is just because the wait was so long and was unexpected even though the place did not seem that busy. read more

We decided to drop in after our elevation sickness was getting the best of us. Figured a bowl of soup would do the trick. The place in itself is nice and the French onion soup was good but I don't know what to think of the customer service. The waiter almost seemed annoyed when he first greeted us and did not want to make any small talk. Kind of weird when on the front cover of their menu they talk about how they pride themselves in excellent customer service. He didn't talk to us much at all during our meal and never came by to fill our waters. The only time he asked if we were okay was after he brought us our check and then seemed almost friendly then. Maybe he was just glad to see us leave. Whatever it may be, I say the food is good but service needs a little work. read more

Westside is like the Snooze of Vail. It's tremendously delicious and downright affordable! Yes, prepare to wait. Even during off-season the place was bustling. We waited around 20 minutes just before 11:00. The food was incredible though. I had the Veggie Benedict which was loaded with spinach, tomato, avocado, and asparagus- dressed with a delicious balsamic and hollandaise that mixed together beautifully and created a lovely cream sauce for the dish. All this goodness was piled atop two polenta cakes that were SO good. And BONUS- they're gluten free! Hubs is loath to order anything that starts with "Veggie" but he even agreed that it was fantastic and I had again ordered better than he. Yea! Of course his was good too. Hubs had the pulled pork benedict and the meat had a wonderful smoky flavor. I thought the pork was a tad dry but Hubs didn't seem to think so. (Could have been my bite.) Methinks he was a wee bit jealous of my polenta cakes. I think he enjoyed his biscuits, but he stared dreamily at my cakes. As most have stated, portions are generous. We left full and happy. Service was prompt and friendly. We will not hesitate to return the next time we're in Vail! read more

An accidental find when traveling thru Vail looking for casual dining. Nice ambiance, very friendly staff and great food and drink.

Both made our dining experience even better. read more

Best known for their awesome breakfasts but also recommend for lunch or dinner. My favorites on dinner menu are the buffalo meatloaf, the Yard Bird and tuna tartar. Great hamburgers too. Lots of other menu choices for B, L, or D. Note: Not open Sunday or Monday evening. Highly recommend. read more

This restaurant was the surprising combination of homey, cozy and fancy! The food had great presentation while the wooden cabin decor made me feel like I really was in a log cabin in the woods. Food was delicious. My favorite detail, outside the delicious and beautiful poached eggs and pancakes I ate, was the cups of crayons provided for my kids. I felt like I was at mom's house and she just brought out the crayones for the little ones. read more

Great cafe, good vibe and good food. We came for breakfast and had 4 different types of eggs Benedict, you can choose 2 half of any style egg dish. They are famous for their bloody merry which I tried and was really good and it came with a small glass of beer too! Apparently there is always a Long wait to be seated and for us it was like 15 minutes or so. Servers were great and attentive and all had such big smiles on their faces which always makes you feel welcomed. read more

This is an amazing brunch spot. I came here with the family while we were on a mini Vacation. I got the the toad in a hole, my brother got the chicken and waffles. There was a local artist singing for the crowd while everyone was chowing down. It was beautiful cozy restaurant with a beautiful view of the mountains. We were seated after a brief wait. The toad in a hole was so tasty. I have never thought about mixing my eggs and toast with sausage. It was delicious. My little brother's chicken and waffles was just as good. The chicken was not overly fried and the seasoning on it was so good. I would definitely come in and go there for brunch next time we are in town. read more

Called in and placed a pick up order of the BLAT and Meatloaf Sandwich. Told it would be ready in 30. So I showed up early paid for the food then sat down at bar for a bloody. At thirty minutes, food still wasn't ready. At 40 they told me they gave the order to another customer but they would refund the money and make immediately. After another 15 minutes I asked what was going on with the order. The girls, who was very nice, went back and checked with the kitchen. She came back and said it'll be another 10-15. Neither of the items need to be cooked. So not really sure why the order couldn't be made in 5-7 mins. Anyway...you win I quit. Went over to Northside Grab & Go and had a chicken wrap and Cuban sandwich. Took all of 10 minutes. Both we're excellent. read more

I've been here for breakfast before and really enjoyed the food. There's always a long wait in the mornings. Today we can for lunch. I guess we should have been concerned when the restaurant was less than half full. Our food took 35min to come out and so did all the people's around us, and like I said, there was hardly anyone in the restaurant. There was also almost 1 waiter per table yet a waiter came by only once in the hour we sat there to fill up our water glasses. When our food finally came out, the salmon in the salmon salad was overcooked, cold, and a tiny piece for a $16 salad. It didn't come with anything but some lettuce. We also ordered the butternut squash salad. What a pathetic excuse for a $15 salad. 3 tiny slices of chicken over a few pieces of lettuce. I would never recommend this place for lunch. read more

The host was very rude and treated us like he was doing us a favor by being open during a pandemic. Well, if the place wasn't next door to the hotel, I would have gone somewhere else. So, your claim to fame is being next door to the Doubletree. If that's what you're looking for in a restaurant in Vail, then this is your place. Otherwise, go somewhere else! This guy should be there thankful that someone would want to give him business during a pandemic... read more

This restaurant was attached to the hotel my sister and I stayed at in Vail. The menu was very appealing because it seemed to offer more than the standard breakfast fare. We couldn't get in on Saturday, but we were up early enough on Sunday to stop by. We decided to split the vegan tempeh hash since we had a large brunch planned later. The tempeh was seasoned well, but I found the green chili was very mild. I also didn't like the lettuce in it since it's a hot dish. The coffee was nice and strong, and the service was good. It was a nice option to have at our hotel. read more

My daughter and I have been in Vail for several days. We have had 2 fantastic meals at the Westside Cafe. Taylor, our server today, was super friendly & efficient. She was cheerful even with our multiple requests & allergy restrictions. Food came out hot and fast (Greek skillet and chocolate chip gluten free pancakes are my faves). Our other server was Dave & he was equally friendly and attentive. Love this place! If you're in Vail, do yourself a favor and stop in! Post script - hash browns are amazing and gluten free toast is yummy as well. :) read more

This place is known for its breakfast and for good reasons. However I would definitely recommend trying it for dinner too. It's much less crowded and the food is excellent. The place is packed for breakfast! There is always some wait but it's not terrible. Everything I've tried here was good. Give their Bloody Mary a try too (yes, at breakfast!). It's a little expensive but it's pretty good. I think they put a little too much ice in it though... Unlike many other places, you can feel that the chef here adds a little personal touch to the dishes. I wouldn't call it a "twist" but you can feel the attention to details and some effort to make the dishes better than other, traditional places. read more

We used Yelp to find a breakfast spot. We were not lead astray. The atmosphere was fun, staff was friendly and accommodating, and the food was good. One of us had the avocado toast. Holy cow, they didn't skimp on the toppings. My husband and I had the locals special - don't be fooled. the visitors special is the same thing only $2 more. These folks have a sense of humor. Most importantly the coffee was tasty. read more

I don't know if I had very high expectations for this place after extensive research to make a vacation itenarary while in Vail or if the food was truly underwhelming. I had the Chicken and Waffles Benedict, the portion was just fine, and the presentation was nice, but the there was absolutely no flavor, absolutely bland. The service was excellent, but neither the food or the location justify the price. To be fair to the establishment, I will point out that everyone else in the group enjoyed their meal. They had the Southwest and south of the border. Everyone agrees the south of the border was the best one. read more

Went here this morning to patronize them on their reopening. Ordered a simple breakfast sandwich. You would think the staff would be relatively excited about being back open and seeing people and having a job, since a lot of us don't any longer. They aren't and they don't! The simple pick up interaction was one of " I could care less-per norm.... and then I tipped her in front of her and no thanks or acknowledgement to it at all. I've come to accept, this is just how things roll here over the years. Not happy, not unhappy, just don't need to go back . On a positive note: Congratulations on reopening guys!!! Wish you all the best. These are tough days. read more
