Route 6 in Vail is an absolute gem! As someone who needs to eat gluten free, this place made my whole trip. They have incredible gluten free options! Gfree buns, wings, fried calamari and shrimp, fish and chips—all made in a dedicated gluten free fryer so there’s no worry about cross contamination. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The staff was warm, attentive, and made us feel right at home. We left full, happy, and already talking about our next visit. Highly recommend!

This is wonderful, authentic, genuinely delicious breakfast diner. I had a spinach and Swiss cheese omelet and my husband had a Hippie omelet with Swiss no peppers. Our son had the pork sausage, bacon, hash browns, and we all had toast! Everything was fresh, hot and delicious! Kudos to the chef! Service was perfect too! And an excellent bonus — we were greeted by wonderful Ollie, the original and lovely proprietor! If you are in the Vail Valley be sure to stop by for breakfast/brunch!

I cannot say enough positive things about the Route 6 Cafe. On my way back to Utah, they were so accommodating and understanding of my gluten free order. The owner and chef really went so beyond what was just "kind" or "good customer service" and floored me. Sincerely, Route 6 has been a favourite for food, but I vow to never go anywhere else on I-70 in acolorado as long as the owner and Chef (who have been working together for over 25 years), are still running the business. Thank you, Route 6! With so much love from Utah!

Good little stop West of Vail. Big bar area with pool tables, also plenty of dining seating not in the bar for families. We came here with 7 people and everyone liked their food. My son did order the kids pasta and it was the smallest little bowl of pasta I have ever seen. He said it was good but was definitely still hungry and he isn't that big of an eater. Kids burger on the other hand was almost an adult sized serving. We would definitely come back another time.

Road trip stop. You walk in and dining seats are to the left, bar seating to the right. We chose to dine. Spouse ordered the salmon salad and liked it. I went with the 8 oz. Strip lunch special with side salad. It was tasty but very tough. I didn't touch the "salad" with crescent cucumbers (?) among onion, tomato strips, and other. Besides this, the price on the menu is not what we were charged. Not recommended, not going back.
