Eagle Diner - always good for lots of good food and service to fill you up before a hut or backpacking trip.
Went to Tommy knockers in Idaho Springs the other day, their food and menu are greatly improved in the past five years.
Others I would recommend ....Dillon dam, lost Cajun in Frisco. Mountain lyon cafe in Silverthorne .
Sunshine Cafe in Silverthorne is good.
I go to Westbound and Down Brewery in Idaho Springs nearly every time I head back to Denver from the mountains via I-70. Cool spot, good beer and food.
Does that spot see much traffic? Every time I pass by there it's a ghost town, they spent over a year and a million dollars renovating (not to mention they were closed during renovations) and I wonder if they've even come close to earning an ROIQuote:

Service has been on and off. Like either spectacular, or non-existent. Hope it is getting better. Beers have been good all along. Chicken fried chicken platter=excellent.Quote:

Last time I was there with some friends the service was understaffed and took awhile, and they ending up taking the $24 of drinks off the bill. I'm not into the 'dining' side but like sitting at the bar or a communal table and chatting with other people about the adventures of the day.Quote:

Similar to my experiences at WBAD. Yeah -- different vibe than Idaho Springs. But frankly after a weekend of dirtbaggery in the mtns sometimes clean and orderly is nice.Quote:

I've also noticed a few spots down in Denver carrying WBAD kegs which probably helps float them a little cash.
The Rose in Edwards. The "notorious p.i.g." is delicious.
Simple spoon in BV. DANK sandwiches...
Sweeties in Salida, if you are going to venture off that far from 70 for the dank sammie.Quote:

Blue moon bakery in Silverthorne hit the spot well this morning. Bagel sandwich or breakfast special.
We like Avon bakery in Avon as well when we're out that way. Kind of a bitch to park at though.

Park at BK next door. Always open spots away from the Starbucks crowd.Quote:

Anybody have good suggestions for mid ranged priced places to eat in Aspen ?
This has probably been said somewhere, but Snowpack Taproom along 285 has some good post ride or ski brews on tap. Free pool, ping pong, video games for the kids and some beach volleyball as well.
Where's that?
West of conifer proper, east of Kings Valley Drive, on the S. side of 285.Quote:

Minimal. Some BBQ a few days a week, soup, i think some sandwhiches and light snacks. I believe they're also cool with bringing some in.Quote:

I don't remember seeing the Dam Brewery on the list at least not lately. Happy hour 4 to 6 has $3.50 pints and half price apps.
Was pretty good food yesterday.
I concur, I go there often.Quote:

Plus they've been real friendly about let people who drink too many sleep it off in their parking lot.
Interesting... historically the Dam Brewery has had "meh" beers at best.
Would be nice if that has changed...
To be fair, Dam is still just a bit above meh IMHO. But Backcountry has been down right disappointing the few times I've been.Quote:

no shit? I stopped going to the Dam years ago since the beer sucked. I'll give is a shot next time aroundQuote:

Biggest complaint I have is that place is too busy and loud during peak times
Dam Brewery? Nobody goes there anymore, it's too crowded.
I think Montanaskier mentioned the two I thought of. Northside in Avon and Slope and Hatch in Glenwood.
We found S&H last summer. Word must have spread because we went back a few weeks ago, and line was out the door the entire time we were there, with one poor woman taking orders, and working front of house alone.
Edit - wrong thread.
Post in the right thread, JONG!
HA! how in the fuck?!?! Actually, don't answer that.Quote:
