Alpen Dogs - Vail

Rave reviews had a jump on the bus from Tivoli in Vail village to Lionshead. In a non-descript building, we found this perfectly named restaurant. Standard-fare breakfast. We loved that it opened earlier than the others at 7am. You can get in right away early and there is a wait list on-line and it tells you what place you were in line.

My husband was having a hip replacement at Vail. I had driven him to Vail but had not had breakfast since he was not allowed to eat before surgery. I went to the Little Diner which was quite busy. However, I sat at the bar and ordered from the breakfast menu. Service was great, and the breakfast was delicious. I highly recommend this little place.

We came back twice during our short trip to Vail. And probably the best breakfast food we found in town. It's so comforting that we already planning to swing by this little diner on the next trip to Vail.

Great diner. The food was delicious. The service was friendly and efficient. The prices were reasonable. Couldn’t ask for anything more….well maybe better signage to find it!

We went to the Little Diner in Lionshead for breakfast and we were no disappointed. Pancakes, French toast, Creamed Chipped Beef, Omelettes, etc. They also serve lunch dishes. Make sure to go early in the day, they close at 2:00 PM. This is a great place for tourists and we saw a lot of regulars there as well.
