Dillon/Silverthorne:
Arapahoe Café in Dillon......great food, nightly specials in the pub downstairs.
Dillon Dam.....good food and the beer is decent enough, imo.
JJ's Cuisine.....I like their Drunken Noodles....aka the Spicy Papaya menu.
Sunshine Café....great breakfast....busy on the weekends.
Sauce on the Blue....heard good things, a little spendy...haven't been yet.
Jersey Boys in Dillon for pizza.
La Perla in Silverthorne for authentic tacos...skip Chipotle.
Frisco:
Hacienda Real for solid Mex....I probably eat here every other week.
If you like Pho, Pho Bay II is pretty good. These people are opening up a new Pho restaurant in Breck.
Outer Range Brewing....absolutely delicious IPAs...my favorite brewery in the county.
Backcountry Brewery just got bought by Broken Compass (Breck)....this is excellent news. Broken Compass has great brews.
Kemosabe is the 2nd best sushi in the county behind Mountain Flying Fish (which is top notch) in Breck.
Vinny's is top notch for upscale casual. He uses a lot of locally-sourced and organic ingredients. Heard he is also buying The Blue Spruce.
Also heard good things about Tavern West, but I haven't been yet. Same owner as the former Tuscato's restaurant.
In-N-Out is coming to Colorado, maybe in a couple of years we'll be able to add it to this thread.
Did they say where? Assuming 16th street mall or some shit.Quote:

I fully agree with this, although I would like to invest in a franchise and open one in the high country. People go nuts for that crap.Quote:

If they're building the distribution center, it'll be a lot more than one store. Think 50.
First will be in CO Springs.
Mentioned above but we hit Blue Moon a couple of times in Silverthorne/Dillon last week before A-Basin and a road trip. Good bagels, serviceable coffee... great pastries. Went to Dam Brewery too. Didn't have the beer (I was on, like, real drugs man) but you gotta try the meatloaf.

Best food we had that week was at Smugglers Brew Pub in Telluride. House sausage, some kinda sauce-infused tater tots, Korean BBQ ribs, great burgers and really, really good fries. Skipped lunch for powder that day too... worth it. Ghost Town Grocer had the best coffee, donuts at Baked Inn Telluride were worth waking up for.
The Micky D's in Idaho Springs has computerized ordering now. And somehow it has made the whole fast food experience even slower. Yeah technology.
I was there because,,,,, offspring.
But did you understand the clown mouth? Or as bad as a human speaking thru it?
Angry James Brewery is open in Silverthorne. Mountain Lion will serve limited menu of BBQ and stuff out of a small side space too. Worth stopping in while waiting for the highway to open.
Craftsman in Edwards has solid burgers and tap list. But somewhat Beaver-Creekish prices.
Been there a few times. Very good, very expensive for what you get anyway. I feel like it's worth it to visit every once in a while though.Quote:

Perfect timing on this suggestion as I’ll be in Frisco starting Friday night. Thanks!Quote:

Has anyone been to Caretta Vieja, a little east of Aspen Park? And how about that joint that's where Kermit's used to be?
Chronic is gonzo. Have a legit messican joint in there now that is geared toward the mariscos...primarily sit down. Think it's the brother of another local joint. Just a tad pricier but good.Quote:

The Mexican place that replaced Chronic is excellent. From mariscos, aguachile, to micheladas, top notch.
I grabbed a burger at the place f/k/a Kermit's about a month ago. It was decent, and that place is basically the same as it used to be.Quote:

I will also throw out there that Genesee Pub and Barbecue is solid.

I drive up that way once a week all summer. It is indeed open and a bar and grill now.Quote:

A little off the beaten path but Pura Vida in Vallecito kills it. Unfortunately it's only open in summer.
Honorable mention to Derailed Pour House and Old Tymer's in Durango.
Old Tymers is still there? Shit, I ate many a taco there on taco Tuesdays in the 90s.
Anyone mentioned the taco truck in the Pbville Safeway/True Value parking lot? I can’t pass through without stopping anymore. Legit. Jamon torta = manna from heaven.
Yeah. I knew it was a bar now but I have not stopped in. Westfalen Haf was just a cool random little place to have a legit German restaurant. I think it was for sale for a while.Quote:

It may have been Fridays back then too, it was 20-25 years ago, and taco Tuesday kinda rolls off the tongue.Quote:
