Arapahoe Cafe & Pub

We went for breakfast on a weekday and the place was pretty crowded. It looked to be a long wait, but upon checking we could be seated right away if we went inside, otherwise outside seating was at least a 20 min wait.
The inside is kind of small but cozy. Our server was very attentive and the food was really good. I had juevos rancheros and with red chili. The chili was spicy but the server told me it was there spiciest (so I got it on the side), flavor was great. Coffee was always being topped off too. The others in my group said their food was good as well and the fuzzy mimosas were excellent.so. We will definitely be going back.

Friendly staff, great food, and fair prices. There wasn’t a negative aspect to my visit, I’d highly recommend grabbing breakfast here.

If you want to wait and then be pass over because of how you look then this is the place for you. We were waiting (we are people of color) for like 20 mins and then a bigger group came behind us and they were seated. We felt very unwelcome.

They sat a table of 5 that came after us first, when we had been waiting for 20 mins. We where a group of 4. Her explanation on why made no sense since the table she sat them sits 4, and they brought an extra chair for them to sit 5. Awful service. We decided to head somewhere else.

Downstairs atmosphere incredibly positive relaxed vibe. Great breakfast!!! Best of all was Noah, Gabby, and Gregory conversations.

Excellent food that has the reputation of being the best casual dining in Dillon. Just off the Dillon dam road. Plentiful outdoor tables as well as two levels indoors. Food portions, especially the half rack of ribs, were very generous. You could easily split a half rack of ribs order and the same with the salads. We had several folks try the Mac and cheese and it was a hit for patrons of all ages. Highly recommend this stop!

Longtime Dillon restaurant located in a historic building near the shore of Lake Dillon. Known for great breakfasts and it's BBQ. Lunch menu starts at noon. Consider the Ruby Trout salad, trout filet served an a bed of spinach. The outdoor seating is now open with views of the mountains and lake.

I came here because someone told me it was locally owned, but if this is local hospitality you can keep it. I could write a page of how this spiraled down but I won't bore you. I waited an hour with parties who came after me got seated ahead of me. I was forgiving because they were larger parties, but when a table sat empty for five minutes... Even one the waitresses noticed and said I should have been served after all this time.

It was a young hostess and it was clear she was following manager's orders because I tried hinting to her that it has been a long wait with no avail. I finally asked to speak to the manager, who was conveniently nowhere to be found. I am assuming it was the middle aged woman who never bothered to look up when I said "hello" at the "hostess" counter when I first checked in.

This is basically a burger joint, so nothing special. Also, if patio is your objective there is a nearby restaurant with a deck, and a better angle view of the water and also locally owned. Maybe "hello" there isn't a bad word.

The reviews are what led us here. We thoroughly enjoyed the food! The smell of BBQ being smoked, as we opened our door, led to this great discovery! Service was great along with food and drinks. They have a bar downstairs that fills up quickly but the dining room was great also! We plan on coming back to this hidden gem next time we are in town!

We went on Sunday late afternoon and dined downstairs for the Sunday hamburger special. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Cool vibe downstairs. Our guests ordered hamburgers and rated them as 9/10. I had the chopped romaine salad with shaved sirloin as a low carb option. It hit the spot. My wife had the black bean burger which she said was delicious. Over all a great experience. We would definitely come back.
