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.”

Best food on the mountain. I definitely recommend the pulled pork sandwich with fries. Also, not crazy overpriced, especially with the epic pass discount.
Wow, one of the best restaurants on Vail mountain! For starters, this restaurant blew my mind away, especially it being 2 miles high! The pulled pork was so tender, the ribs were some of the best that I have ever had, the sauce is the bomb, and the prices were reasonable for Vail! Pro tip, use your epic pass if you have it, it will save you a drastic amount of money!
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 ample outside seating. If you are planning to eat on mountain don't miss this fantastic BBQ! Worth it even if you weren't planning on eating on mountain. Highly recommend.
Best meats in order: ribs, brisket, pulled pork, sausage... Platter is probably best deal to feed 2 people (25 bux)...
