Simple Eatery

Simple Eatery is a great spot for a fresh, satisfying lunch. The chicken salad sandwich was fantastic--fresh bread, moist chicken, and full of flavor. Such a treat. My friends all loved their meals also - various sandwiches, salads, and soups. Everyone was happy!The service was friendly, and the food, made fresh to order, was well worth the wait. I also appreciated that an employee checked on us during the meal.

This place was awesome! We had the steak stroganoff, the Rainbow trout and split the green salad with the homemade Italian dressing. The trout was cooked perfectly! Th steak stroganoff was the best we'd ever had, the steak was cooked so perfectly and you could cut it with a fork. Each entree came with fresh pretzel bread too. The staff was incredibly friendly and the service was fantastic. We decided to pick up a monkey bread and a blueberry loaf for breakfast the next day. The baked goods are phenomenal. It's pretty cool to find this place attached to an outdoor sports retail place. What a cool use of the space.

Wonderful baked items across the menu! We stopped in with a larger party with several kids out of the recommendation of somebody in our group. We all found delicious lunch items and ample seating inside this restaurant connected to a outdoor appearal and gear store, how cool is that. We really liked the pretzel board which came with cheese and mustard on the side. Try some of their loads of yummy bread. Someone checked on us a couple times to get us wonderful service. Great small town eatery and the vibe to match.

If you are in the area this is a MUST TRY! The quality of the food is amazing, I feel like the chef cooked these dishes with love. From the soup, to pasta, to rainbow trout everything was flavorful and filling. The entree portions are more than enough, also might explain how it's a little pricy, but definitely worth it. Order at the counter and then have a seat in their casual dinning area. Quiet ambiance but they also have a nice patio for fun. 10/10

My first time in BV! My partner and I stopped here with my two huskies on a snowy December day. We took turns ordering inside, which shares space with an adjacent adventure goods shop. I got the Steak Stroganoff, and he got some sort of Cheddar Penne dish.We ate outside for a short while with the dogs, until it got too cold. We put the dogs back in the car and finished our meal at a table indoors. They have coffee and pastries in addition to hot plates. Plenty of options. The Stroganoff was gorgeously presented and tasted decent.There's plenty of street parking though you might have to walk a block or two. Customer service was good. It's a solid option if you're looking for somewhere healthy to eat, especially with vegetarians. I would consider coming here again, but there's other spots around town to try!

Yum, really enjoyed lunch here- tried the burger on pretzel roll and pick 2 combo (with mango fig salad and bahn mi panini). Food was very tasty and it was fun to sit outside in the shade in the summer. Main issue with this place is the long lines inside (to order food), there's 2 counters but one of them is to go orders so we waited around 30 mins to order despite only 10-15 people ahead of us at 1:30pm

One of my favorite restaurants in Colorado. I wish it was in Denver! The pretzel loaf is amazing, the trout is still amazing, and this visit I tried the Bahn Mi sandwich - excellent.I will say that this year when we went to dinner, I think it was over an hour wait from arriving to getting served food. I personally think if it's going to take that long, that's something customers should probably be notified of on arrival so they can take that into account (my blood sugar was pretty low by the time food came out and I was feeling pretty bad). That being said, I have chosen not to lower the rating for that just because the food is consistently so good.

We stopped in to fuel up after a day of snow shoeing. My husband had the chicken Swiss panini, generous portions of chicken and Swiss on homemade bread. I had the bison ravioli in cream sauce and it was delicious. The service was great, friendly and fast.

Good food, extremely friendly servers and staff. Plus it's located in an outdoor clothing shop so you can browse the sale items after you have your meal. We come here about once a year when we're driving through Buena Vista and we always stop here.

Had a weekend in the Salida/BV area and grabbed dinner here before heading home. SO glad we chose this spot for our last meal. It was incredibly delicious and the service was super friendly.I don't particularly love a walk up and order style when it's a sit down restaurant. But it doesn't make or break my experience. Here, after you order at the counter, the servers bring you water, your food, and check in on you and clear your table. So, still great service. Everyone we encountered throughout our meal was super friendly.For the actual food.. WOW! I was absolutely blown away by the citrus ravioli. Still dreaming about it, actually! Very unique and tasty dish. I will for sure be trying to recreate it at home, and will be back to this spot when I inevitable fail. I ordered the pick two and got half of that ravioli and half a Caesar salad. The meal also came with a delicious focaccia bread. My fiancé got the All Elk Burger and he loved it. The burger came with a side dish and he got the Italian sausage soup. Super delicious and filling according to him.Would absolutely recommend this spot for lunch or dinner for anyone in the area. Bonus! You can shop outdoor goods and apparel in the same building while you wait for your food. Very cool setup and will for sure be back!
