“This is by far the most famous eatery in Idaho Springs. Expect long waits in the weekends.”

“You've probably enjoyed their award winning beers in bars all over the US, but they whip up a great home-style meal too. Sit on the bar side for an up close glimpse of their actual brewing operations while you enjoy their signature Goldrush Pork Green Chili.”

“Newer to town is this contemporary brewery with solid beers and great atmosphere. The windows roll up for nice weather and it is a great spot to view the waterfall. There is also a full bar with craft cocktails, if beer is not your thing. ”

“Delicious Italian and hands down great pizza pie. Georgetown is a great historic town located only about 15 to 20 min from the cottage. ”

“We love this local gem in Georgetown. It's 25 minutes west in a quaint mining town. The salsa's and margs are worth the drive and it's close enough for a quick trip and far enough into the mountains to feel worlds away from the city. ”

“Great food!!! This is more if a fast food experience. You’ll order at the counter then find a table. The line can be long on weekends.”

“They have Breakfast & Lunch. The food is just like homemade but you don't need to cook. We LOVE this place and we always visit when we are in the area.”

“Local favorite spot that often has live music. The green chili here is pretty good.”

“Georgetown , Colorado/ Just an FYI there is a great lunch place just off the Highway in Georgetown ... it is far less expensive than Vail and I always feel better eating there because it get's me on the road and gets me halfway to or from Denver. It's called Coopers On The Creek some of the best food that Iv'e ever had and an outdoor covered deck that is very close to the river bank. They have a Duck pot pie that I'd drive up from Denver to eat.”

“Troia’s offers great Italian food and is accommodating for special diets. We literally eat here every time we’re in town. ”

“Great sandwiches, and cool hang out. Yoga Studio in the back! Its super Colorado vibe.”

“Locally sourced food fills the carefully curated menu. Everything is made from scratch, no cans or frozen foods here. The grilled brie appetizer is a can't-miss option.”
