Budget
The Egg and I
Great place for breakfast. Popular with locals and seasonal guests/workers.
Midrange
Bob & Tony's Pizza
Cheap, decent pizza. A teen hangout that's changed little since the 1950s - arcade games, pool tables and juke boxes in the back. If you can find an empty brick, write your name on the wall.
Ed's Cantina
One of the most popular local eats. Dinner $10-15. Largely Mexican food menu. Has both bar and restaurant seating areas.
Grumpy Gringo
Great atmosphere and views. Impeccability clean dining and rest rooms. The service is friendly, and the owner often walks around to say hello. The food, however, is mediocre, the ground beef in tacos etc. always tastes odd.
Penelopeâs Burgers voted best in Estes 229 W. Elkhorn Ave.
Rock Inn Mountain Tavern (http://www.rockinnestes.com) Steakhouse and live music 1675 Hwy 66 / 970-586-4116. Excellent entrées $15-$25. Good specials. Lively mountain atmosphere.
Much like other tourist towns, Estes Park features many different types of restaurants with everything from Mexican to wild game available.
Sundeck Restaurant
Family restaurant specializing in fresh Rocky Mountain trout and serve a variety of Mexican, American, and German foods.
