What is the best place to eat near your favorite climbing area?
|
I'm creating a cook book for climbers. but I thought it wouldn't be complete without recommendations for where to eat out for the days you don't feel like cooking. But what do you think are the best (perhaps hidden?) places to eat? |

Miguel's Pizza in the Red River Gorge Pie for the People outside Joshua Tree Sorry, I like pizza |
|
El Patron for the Obed Cathedral Cafe for NRG |
|
:) Pizza is good! If there's a backstory to the recommendations, or the best ever dish at.. I'd be interested as well! |
|
Tilt'n Diner for Rumney (to be fair, it's about 30 minutes away, but it's a can't-miss stop on the way home) |
|
El Pasito (now El Durangito) outside Hueco. I swear I get gringo pricing every time I go though. |
|
Milts Stop and Eat ..... MOAB / IC / Towers |

Edgardo's margarita trailer in El Potrero Chico...not quite food but it should count since it's an institution down there. Faceburger in Hidalgo just outside the Potrero is also pretty high on the list for me. Basically a family making epic (bigger than your face) burgers from their home, serving you in their living room. |

@Ryan.. I missed the Margarita trailer when I was there in Feb 2014. When is it usually there? |

Ryan Maitland wrote: +1 for both of these! Faceburger is also knows as Christina's by the locals. I'll add Coopers BBQ for Enchanted Rock State Park. Its in Llano, about 20 min away from the park, but on your way back to Austin. |

I know many will agree. The breakfast burritos at the gas station on the way into Eldo! |

It may have been over by Homero's when you were there in 2014. Another add to the list is "the dome" - not the proper name, but the building has a large dome in front - which is on the main highway outside of Hidalgo. Carne asada by the kilo with awesome queso fundido and is a great spot to bring larger groups since there is a ton of room/seating inside. |

Breakfast burrito at the Lee Vining Exxon right before Tioga Pass. |
|
KT's Hayloft Saloon in Lolo, Montana. |
|
Now this is a thread I can get behind. I'll contribute Fry Bread Tacos (or fry bread with desert toppings, or both!) at the ten sleep brewery on Friday nights. |
|
Cathedral at the New River Gorge sucks. Slow slow service and overpriced. Eat with locals instead of out of state yuppies and hit the Hico Exxon on the intersection of route 19 and 60 for good homemade country fare. |

Mag's 99, Squamish |

In Bishop California everyone is crazy for Burger Barn and Schat's Bakery but in my opinion the real MVP is Petite Pantry. AWESOME and copious amounts of Mexican food, each day has two all you can eat options and Jay or his wife will wrap your leftovers up as a burrito for the next day! |

Meers Restaurant for the Wichita Mountains in SW Oklahoma. CJ's, Blue Mountain Bakery and Ozark Café for NW Arkansas. |
