Wildwood Express Cafe
Main Vail, Vail, CO
Crema's Take
“Wildwood Express is a mountain-top BBQ haven that doubles as a solid coffee stop, perfectly positioned at the top of Sundown Bowl for ski-in convenience and serious comfort food cravings. Their smoked meats—particularly the fall-apart tender pulled pork and ribs—are genuinely exceptional for on-mountain dining, and the chicken wild rice soup pairs perfectly with a warm cup between runs. With reasonable pricing, the Epic Pass discount, and outdoor seating to soak in the altitude and views, this spot strikes that rare balance between quick fuel-up and destination-worthy meal.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A quick-grab spot, outdoor seating. Light food on the menu.

BBQ Food and rest station spot on the top of Sundown bowl. Get the BBQ, then keep skiing.
Easily my favorite place to eat on Vail mountain. The chicken and wild rice soup should not be missed but you can't go wrong with any of the BBQ options on the menu. Seating inside is limited, especially in comparison with the other main on mountain dining areas, but there is…
Best meats in order: ribs, brisket, pulled pork, sausage... Platter is probably best deal to feed 2 people (25 bux)...
