The first question that is usually asked after making a reservation is, "Where to eat?" Below is our list of our favorite places to eat and why we eat there! This list is in alpha order. We only comment when we have eaten at a place more than once and had different items each time. Some places have new owners and we have not had a chance to sample their cooking.
Running around Estes Park and hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park require good and plentiful fuel. In order to make our list, an establishment must meet these requirements.
There are many fine eateries in Estes Park that I have not visited and just because a place (your place or your "favorite" place) is not on this list should not be taken as a plus or a minus. There are some that I will not eat at again! ALWAYS let your innkeeper be your guide. |

Our Favorite Dining Places
|
|
| 14'ers Cafe — Not Recommended. |
| |
| Big Horn Restaurant — A favorite for breakfast all year. Cid's hickory smoked BBQ is a favorite. Where the locals eat! |
| |
| Casa Grande — The only place where I'll eat Mexican food in Estes Park. |
| |
| Dunraven Inn Restaurant (hwy 66) — Italian, Steaks and seafood. Excellent evening dining in an old established restaurant. Dale's place is a favorite with locals and visitors. The room is papered in money! |
| |
| Egg and I — Only open for breakfast and supper. Always popular. |
| |
| Hunters Chop House — One of the top 4 hamburger & fries in Estes Park. Also, steaks, seafood and game. Incredible desserts. |
| |
| Marys Lake Lodge — Two restaurants in one. The tavern is a favorite of the locals and also has some of the best evening entertainment in Estes Park. The Grandmaison's Chalet Room is where to take someone special for one of the best dinners in Estes Park. |
| |
| Nicky's Cattleman Steak House — Two restaurants in one. Salad soup bar in the Garden Room is a favorite and the best steaks and prime rib in Estes Park in the dining room. One of the top 4 hamburger & fries in Estes Park when you order off the dinner menu. |
| |
| Sundeck Restaurant — The only place to go for trout and fried chicken in Estes Park (in my opinion). |
| |
| Sweat Basilico Cafe — Best Homemade Italian Cuisine in Estes Park. It is all about the sauce! |
| |
| Other Side Restaurant — All American cuisine for breakfast, lunch and dinner. In the off season, I would never miss one of Scott's buffets - Mexican, Seafood and Sunday Brunch. |
| |
| Peak to Peak American Grill — Newest restaurant in town. Truly an American Grill with gourmet comfort food. I'm working on eating my way through the menu! |
| |
| Redstone Restaurant — One of the top 4 hamburger & fries in Estes Park. Hidden next to the Estes Park Post Office, it is excellent food for both lunch and dinner. I've only eaten here twice, but will return for more. |
| |
| Rock Inn Mountain Tavern — One of the best dinners in Estes Park. In an old mountain lodge and the food is delicious food. The h'orderves and sauces are most excellent. If I had the time, I'd "eat my way through this menu" too. |
| |
| Smokin' Dave's BBQ & Taphouse — One of the top 4 hamburger & fries in Estes Park. Dave's barbecue sauces are the best. I'm working on "eating my way through the menu" here too. |
| |
| Village Pizza — My favorite pizza place in EP. Great for the family and kids. Everything is fresh and made from scratch. There are other fancier pizza places in town, the the Village Pizza get my business based on taste and value. |

Places that I have not yet had the pleasure
|
The following places have an excellent reputation with lodge owners and I do want to eat at these fine eateries. It just take time to get around to all of 'em.
Give them a try and let me know what you had and what you think of 'em.
Thanks, |

|
| |
| Claire's on the Park |
| |
| Fawn Brook Inn in Allenspark — Simply the best dining in the Rocky Mountains. Reservations are recommended... often weeks in advance. The only place for that special occasions such as honeymoons, anniversary and romantic getaways! |
| |
| Inn of Glen Haven |
| |
| Ptarmigan Restaurant at Aspen Lodge Resort |

Our NOT so Favorite Places
|
It is not often that I'll not recommend a dining establishment, but there are a few that I'll never eat at again or would never eat at because of their business practices
|
| |
|
| |
| The Wapiti Restaurant & Pub — Send unsolicited spam to email address claiming that one is a member of their rewards program. Never eaten there and probably never will because sending spam is not a good business practice. |
