These are the restaurant’s I consider to be the best places to eat in Summit County Colorado. Just from my own experience, memories and preferences. I have plenty other restaurants that I need to delve into but haven’t had the chance yet.
Best Places To Eat In Silverthorne
Sauce On The Blue
This Italian restaurant is a bit higher priced Italian but the quality of the food speaks for its self.
You can dine in their lovely yurts which is a neat experience within itself or even outside on their patio.
Their food is fresh and they have a good size wine list as well as a full bar with multitude of spirits to create whatever mix drink you desire.
They have a well rounded menu no matter what you are craving. Its a nice spot for a romantic evening with your partner and can be elegant enough to dress up for dinner but also casual enough you would be fine in jeans and a t-shirt.
Like I said this is more expensive restaurant, and the food prices can be divided between single or family meal prices. But you are looking between $22-$40 depending on the item.

The Bakers Brewery
Fresh quality food and Summit Craft beers from scratch.
Their menu is subject to change but the quality of food is always fantastic!
The first time visiting for me I had some amazing pesto noodles with chicken! Unfortunately they did not have that on the menu the next time I visited. But every time I’ve been back I’ve never been disappointed.
Friendly atmosphere. And we’ll priced food for great quality.
They have 3 beer awards and have their beer in 5 different bars!
No item exceeds $18
Mint Steakhouse
This neat restaurant lets YOU cook your steak the way you want. They will hand carve the size and weight of steak and price it accordingly.
If steak is not what you are craving there are plenty of other options here in the menu.
This is one of the oldest restaurants in Colorado dating back to 1862!
You can come in and enjoy an appetizer while taking in all the history.
The most expensive item here is an aged steak for $35. Otherwise items will stay under $22.
Best Places To Eat In Dillon
Dillon Dam Brewing
This restaurant is by far my favorite! Possibly because I have great memories here with my parents and how we always make it a point to eat their mouth watering French onion soup!
They have amazing burgers as well as French fries. They used to have really good ranch but the last time I visited they had changed their ranch recipe.
Also their mountain man Mac and cheese is to die for! Warm melty gooey goodness.
They have a multitude of lagers and ales they brew in house.
They have beers flavored after Palisade peaches and even some beers distilled in whiskey barrels. All sorts of flavors you are able to taste.
The most expensive item here is a New York strip for $27. Other wise nothing exceeds $15 per item.
Best Places To Eat In Breckenridge
Downstairs at Eric’s
This casual arcade bar and restaurant is a must go if you’re looking for a fun relaxing evening.
They have 25 flat screens, 27 arcade games, 30 beers on tap and 48 beers in a bottle.
Its kid friendly and gluten friendly!
Plenty of booths to sit with your friends and family and enjoy the environment or play games while waiting on your food. Customer service is great and friendly and the food is wonderful with another well rounded menu!
The most expensive item is a large pizza for $23. Other than that your range will likely stay between $10-$13 individual item.
Ollies
Is a welcoming environment that give you large portions of amazing comfort food meals. It is kid friendly and late nigh pub grub friendly as well!
Legend has it Ollie was a lumberjack who milled wood for the growing mining town of Breckinridge. But to feed his men he built his tavern with hospitality and homemade food that he called “pub & grub”. This restaurant still has the same spirit the legendary Ollie did during his time as well.
I personally built my own Mac n cheese that was delicious and delightful I must say! They have great wings and burgers as well!
Theres nothing on their menu that exceeds $16 individually
Motherloaded Tavern
This unique restaurant with homemade recipes, joyful workers and lively atmosphere will makes you feel all warm and happy inside and out! Just like being part of the family.
I personally loved their chicken and waffles!
Nothing exceeds $18
Final thoughts
Summit County is a great area to delve into all different restaurants with amazing flavors no matter your preference or budget. Next time I plan to spend more time in Breckinridge area because they do have a lot of options. Maybe I should do a restaurant crawl! What do you all think? If you have any suggestions on restaurants I should try out please leave a comment and let me know!
Until next time!
