White House Tavern is a perfect example of Aspen casual done right. The restaurant sits in a charming historic house and has such a warm, relaxed energy -- great music, friendly staff, and a lively atmosphere. The crispy chicken sandwich is honestly one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Perfectly crispy, juicy, and balanced with just the right amount of heat. The kale salad and fries were also excellent, and everything came out quickly despite how busy the place was. The service was upbeat and welcoming, and the whole experience felt effortless. If you want a fun, laid-back lunch or dinner in Aspen without sacrificing quality, this is absolutely the place. read more

This place was very highly recommended amongst all of our friends and relatives that live around Aspen, so we had high hopes. The service was wonderful, we got our food very quickly, and the ambiance was adorable. A little loud but nothing too crazy. The food itself was fine. We ordered the duo dip, French fries, the French dip, and the chicken sandwich. The guac and the other dip were really good and we loved the chips too. The fries are pretty much what you'd expect, except once they got to room temperature they became super hard and not very edible. My husband said the French dip meat was good and tender, pretty good flavor overall. I had the chicken sandwich which was huge! They split the sandwich into three wedges and I could only finish two. I liked the texture of the chicken was nice and I liked the slaw on it, however, the flavor overall was kind of lacking. I would say it was a bit overhyped. Overall, it was a nice experience for a decent price and I'm glad we went. Would we go back? Probably. read more

I literally dream about their crispy chicken sandwich and kale salad! It did not disappoint! Hands down the best I have ever had. The portion is also very healthy so I had had leftovers for lunch the next day. The kale salad has a little kick to it which I loved. I ordered the side and it was plenty of food and had left overs as well. My friend ordered the fries and I tried the aoli for the first time and it was magical. It was sort of an Asian fusion vibe and very unique. We went over lunch and the wait was around 45 min which seems to be the normal as there isn't a ton of seating. Worth the wait! Also, random note but it is very warm in there during the winter so make sure if you had layers you can shed a few! read more

Savory food but limited menu. Friendly servers but possibly understaffed, only checked on us once before bill and it was not split as we instructed when we ordered by all parties. Noise level very high. We return everytime because the food is excellent. read more

This was one of the top places that came up when we searched for best restaurant recs in Aspen. Got the chicken meatballs app, fries, burger and french dip. The meatballs were delicious. Loved the flavor and sauce. The burger had a ton of veggies and ok amount of meat. The French dip had a decent portion of meat which was tender and delicious with the au jus. They don't serve any sides with their sandwiches which you have to order ala carte. Prices are high but Service was attentive and the restaurant has a cute outdoor seating area. read more

We got seated right away which was nice, but it got more crowded the later it got, especially because outside seating was too cold. There weren't any outdoor heaters. The food is overpriced as expected as it is Aspen, but I did expect higher quality. We were shocked when we ordered the deviled eggs and only got 3 halves, it felt a little silly to not get 2 full eggs. I also ordered a coke and I got a half size but paid normal price. The chicken sandwich looked big at first but only because it had lots of vegetables and a very thin slice of chicken. It almost felt like deli chicken meat that was breaded. I would probably skip the next time we are in town. read more

Waitress was pleasant and we were also greeted nicely by staff. Ambiance is nice, but tables are pretty close to each other so not much privacy. Food was good and prices were adequate for Aspen. read more

A nice restaurant on the streets of Aspen. A very popular place, so I found it best to arrive just before they open to avoid a long wait time. They have a nice selection of sandwiches and of course a trout dip which many love, but from another review you will know I am not a trout fan in any form, but that's just me. I enjoyed the crispy chicken sandwich, creamed corn and deviled eggs. They have a nice outdoor seating area. A fun spot if you are in Aspen. read more

Cozy little spot. This is actually a Hillstone restaurant. The service was fantastic as you would expect. The food was great too. It is a small spot though so you may have to wait a few minutes for a table. Worth it! read more

Another incredible Hillstone hit! We were lucky enough to walk in and grab 2 seats at the bar on a Thursday night about an hour before closing. This restaurant is very small, yet has the classic welcoming Hillstone feeling in a dimly lit and service-forward upscale restaurant. I got my classic girl dinner comprising of the Rotisserie Kale Salad and French fries. My coworker got the French dip--he said it was excellent. read more

White House Tavern - Rotisserie Kale Salad w French Fries (comes with 2 dips) - Burgers Near Me - Aspen, Colorado

I'll be honest, I was disappointed when I realized the top rated restaurant in Aspen is right down the street from me already in Beverly Hills under the name Honor Bar. There is another in Montecito also. Also can get the same menu in Yountville (Napa) at R+D Kitchen. Anyone who thinks this is a "local spot" like you'll see noted in the reviews are mistaken. They aren't hiding it, but this is another of many Hillstone restaurants. Their fried chicken sandwich is amazing though! read more

One of my favorite places to stop when I'm in Aspen. The food is always great and Service is always friendly. I got the macho salad and a side of french fries it's called balance people. The salad was loaded with chunks of avocado, goat cheese delicious tomatoes, dates, and rotisserie chicken. It is delicious. The french fries came with an Asian inspired aïoli that was really good tasting. read more

Great lunch spot in aspen. Word on the street that the food was great so we decided to put our names on the waitlist. We waited over 1 hour but the kale salad was definitely worth the wait! We ordered the kale salad was recommended and it did not disappoint. Service and ambiance was also great. It definitely gives you winter ski vibes read more

Of all the spots we ate at in Aspen, this was by far the best. Great service. Great food all around. Really fun spot for my birthday lunch!!

Came back 2 years later - sat inside this time and it's a bit crampy but they were able to accommodate us w a stroller. Had to get the cream corn and chicken sandwich again - just as good as last time. Also tried fries, brussel sprouts and French dip. Come here for a solid meal in Aspen that won't break the bank read more

This is spot was our 2nd choice to eat and glad we ended up here. They accommodated our party of 6 and the service was great. We ordered the chicken sandwich ( I recommend) Along with fries and brussels sprouts that also hit the taste buds right.

First off let me say that I frequent Hillstone restaurant in Santa Monica, Ca The Honor bar in Montecito & Beverly Hills, and The Rutherford Grill in Napa Valley, Ca and Houston's in Pasadena, CA. These are all owned by the Hillstone Group. I love them all! However, the White House Tavern is always a "go to" while in Aspen. Something felt off. Our server was super nice but never checked on us after the food arrived and we said everything was good but I sat with an empty water glass for about 15 minutes. Also, it didn't seem that they put the same amount of meat on my French dip. The menu was more limited than other locations. The side was not included in the price of the meal but they offer a side order and the side order and the sandwich equal about the same price as other locations. All in all it is still good but at the bottom of the list for the locations I mentioned. read more

Had a good overall dining experience, though I came in with higher expectations. The food was enjoyable and well-prepared. Service was decent, considering how busy it was. The space did feel a bit cramped, which took away slightly from the ambiance. I'd consider coming back if I'm in the area again. read more

Three Words: Crispy Chicken Sandwich This sandwich so wonderful. I've had it during the summer and I've had it during the winter. No matter the season, this sandwich hits. The flavors do such a good job working with one another. The brioche torta-esque bun encases a fried chicken breast, lightly dressed kale slaw, Swiss cheese, and tomato slices! When it arrives, you'll plan on eating two of the three pieces it's cut into. However, as soon as you taste how good it is, I'm sure you'll have no problem finishing the third piece, just like I do every time! read more

White House Tavern - Crispy Chicken Sandwich - Burgers Near Me - Aspen, Colorado

They have a cute outdoor patio seating area and a dimly lit interior with pockets of tables here and there. There's also a wide bar counter area where you can watch the chefs do their thing. French dip au jus Thinly sliced roasted prime rib high high on a house made toasted French roll. Comes with creamy horseradish. This one really hit the spot. House smoke salmon comes with chef's dressing and toast but I feel that this was over smoked, leaving out any hint of the fish flavor. They do give you an ample supply of toasted bread slices. Crispy Chicken sandwich Housemaid torta, Swiss cheese, tomato, and spicy slaw. This was a good call - lots of savory action in each bite. Kale salad. Emerald kale, roasted peanut vinaigrette, fresh herbs. Generous portion and it's a lot of chewing - but good for you. Service is quick and polite, the food came pretty fast. That's all. read more

We ordered two $27 hamburgers, medium. They came out bloody rare but were piled with so much slaw and drippy sauce, which mixed with the blood from undercooked hamburgers on the plate. Inedible. We paid our $185 tab and left. We did not want to make a scene and send both burgers back. We are sick this morning from the meat. Service excellent! read more

Was on a bachelorette trip this past weekend in Aspen and White House tavern is a must. Being from LA, the hillstone collection of restaurants from Honor Bar to Houston's have always been a safe bet and great time. My party of seven shared two orders of the kale salad with chicken (a must) along with two orders of the dip duo to share. I split the honor burger and the crispy chicken sandwich. The crispy chicken sandwich may be my death row meal. Highly recommend for anyone who wants a solid not overpriced meal in Aspen. read more

White House Tavern - Chicken sandwich - Burgers Near Me - Aspen, Colorado

What I love about this restaurant is the incredibly friendly staff--the maître d' and our server were both welcoming and knowledgeable. The menu is small, but every dish is thoughtfully prepared and absolutely delicious. We started with the French fries, then enjoyed the French dip and the kale salad with chicken, which had a nice little kick. The cocktails were equally impressive--strong and flavorful. The Crush was perfect for a summer evening, and the margarita hit the spot as well. While they don't take reservations, the team keeps things moving efficiently--we were seated within 20 minutes. Overall, a wonderful experience! read more

Living in Orlando, this is a sister restaurant of Hillstone. It's one of the best burgers you are going to find anywhere and the chicken sandwich is crispy and delicious. With a small menu, all the ingredients are so fresh and the quality is consistent. Wasn't a big fan of the Brussels with the amount of lemon aioli and next time would start with the deviled eggs which are elite here!! Still wanted to highlight incase guests prefer more boiled over crispier Brussels. Note they do not take reservations so make sure to put your name in early as the restaurant is very small maybe only 15-25 tables and the wait times can get very long. Bar is open seating. read more

First, very, very limited veg options. No full size plates are vegetarian. Not even a veggie patty for the burger. Some sides are - creamed corn and kale salad. That's what I had! Super delicious. Just bummed they didn't have more - they suggested taking the chicken off the big salads, but it's annoying to pay full price without the most expensive component. Regardless, the mini salad was good. The service was friendly but felt rushed. The outside patio was fantastic! read more

The food wasn't really that impressive. It's like a deli sandwich. Service was ok. I've never had a stemless wine glass looking like a drinking water glass. Only in Aspen I guess. I prefer my chilled sparking Rose be served in a stemmed glass to keep it cool. read more

Really great spot in downtown Aspen. We came by on a Thursday afternoon in the summer, and only had to wait a couple mins for an outside table. Waitress was very friendly and accommodating. Chicken sandwich was delicious and all the ingredients really put the sandwich together. The deviled eggs was really great, cooked perfect. Salad was also excellent. read more
