Above The Blue

2 years ago, I was in Breckenridge ordered takeout from a small random shack and had one the best meatball subs I've had in a long time - and I can finally say that I can put a name to the restaurant now! I paid multiple vists to Above The Blue during my week long stay in Breckenridge, mostly around lunchtime. I'm surprised that there isn't more people lining up to try this place out!Above The Blue is it's own unassuming shack located right next to the downtown Breckenridge area - you can enjoy your food at their outdoor tables set up around the shack and take in the creek side scenery as you do. You can also just take your order when you are done, the shack was also designed for skiers/hikers to grab and go with their food. Service is fast, you place your order and you usually only have to wait 5-10 minutes for your food.I got a couple of options from this place, which I'll review down below:Meatball Sub ($13): If you are looking for a very solid and absolutely delicious meatball sub, I would wholeheartedly recommend this one! I think this is one of the best meatball subs I've had so far in CO. You receive: 3 heaping meatballs with broiled cheese over it. The meatballs themselves, tender as can be and extremely moist and juicy. The marinara sauce that goes over the meatballs has a bit of spice and gives the extra bitey flavor dimension that takes it to the upper levels. The bread is toasted and has a pleasing crispiness to it. I've had my fair share of this particular sub while skiing in Breck and it slaps. Walking Taco ($8): As novel and tasty as the walking taco may be, I would say skip this option unless you are feeling taco meat, sour cream, and cheese in a chip bag. I think that $8 is pretty steep considering the ingredients of this selection, but it would definitely be the perfect drunk food.I haven't tried the gyro sandwich from this restaurant, but based on the other reviews of it, I'm sure it would be great. I would definitely like to come back again to try the other sandwich options (4.5 stars!)

Great stop to pick up to go food! I would definitely come back and try there other dishes but the gyro is definitely the way to go :)

Has a picnic table and patio furniture for seating. Quick service! I really enjoyed the beef Philly cheesesteak! Great flavor, and they pack a lot in the sandwich so you feel better about paying Breck prices. My husband also really enjoyed the meatball sub, even though it was a little difficult to eat. Would definitely come back next time we're in the area!

In Breck for a few days and tired of spending $100+ every time you grab a bite to eat? Well this is your place. Great food, big portions, and fast service. Located right in the middle of town convenient to everything. Would definitely come back next time I'm in town.

O.M.G. Do not be fooled by the outside of this place. It looks like a little corner of a building, and nothing special but .... OMG. It was all so good. First, service was great and he answered every question we had about the food.Next, the food. We ordered the meatball sub, gyro and roasted pepper gyro. Meatball sub was huge, and really good. Gyros were perfectly made and the veggies were super fresh. And, everything was under $13. Don't sleep on this place. We will be back!

The gyros were the best I've ever had! Kids had walking tacos that were HUGE and so good! 11/10 food!!!

Got the gyro, made to order. It was hot and fresh and delicious. Definitely was worth the wait.

gas pack 10/10 no question fire food kept open for us late food is TEN OUT OF TEN! no question about late night food you must come here and experience the red.

You gotta get the Gyro! One of the best I've ever had. Great service, great food, great experience!

Above the Blue's cheesesteak with added jalapeños saved my life. Went home and had an ethereal experience with their cheesesteak
