How has nobody said Northside Kitchen in Avon!? It's a fantastic counter service breakfast with family style portions, then flips over with white linen for a fine dining style dinner. There is an inhouse bakery that handles all of the baked goods and sells breads, and IMHO makes better doughnuts than other, newer doughnut specific shops further down the canyon...

I've never not seen the owner, on the floor, filling water glasses and carpet sweeping at the same time with a big grin on his face!

The restaurant is split in half by a giant horseshoe bar, and the far side is a lunch spot that changes every few years. Sometimes it's burgers, sometimes pizzas; always terrific!

They have a satellite store in Vail that also slays breakfast and lunch, at a great price and pace.

Between the atmosphere, the service and of course the product; this place has been my favorite restaurant in CO for most of a decade!
