Best post-climbing food at popular climbing areas?

El Reynaldo's in Cañon City after climbing at shelf

Oooh I'll add The Lost Cajun for good food post-Shelf

I'm going to change the parameters for my answer "Based on quality of food" Top Tier, Red Rocks. This area has more than a 100 eateries with better food than anywhere in RRG within a 20 minute drive of the canyon.  I love eating at Rockhouse,  Miguel's, and Redpoint, and love the community at these places but also a realist...

I was gonna say Mags, even though it's gone now. Haven't been to the spot that replaced it.

Otherwise, Domo Blanco in El Chalten is my dream sponsorship.

The new spot is legit, its ran by the staff from the original shop

The owner of Mags set up a new shop in town with the Mags branding, but I don't think its as good

RMNP: fresh burger stop and nepal’s

Rim of the Canyon cafe @ Little river canyon, AL. Best southern breakfast money can buy.

The French Laundry -Mayacamas Mountains  , Chez Panisse -Indian Rocks Berkeley ,The Ahwahnee -Yosemite , Takali Bhanchhar Ghar -Kathmandu , etc.

I’m gonna rep Casa De Amigos for Zion over Oscars. Oscars is great because of big portions, but casa de amigos has a little treat for locals...

Yet incredibly mediocre food.

Oh that's great to hear. I regret not getting the Supreme-parody Mags shirt while they had it.

It was good when Oscar owned it but that didn’t last very long

Well if we're going to go that route......

For Red Rock - 

Morimoto

Nobu

Craftsteak

Jose Andres

The Cave at The Wynn

Mesa Grill

Aureole 

Hell's Kitchen

Joel Rubichon

....and about 30 others. And that's not counting the phenomenal Chinese and other Asian on Spring Valley Rd.

And a special shout-out to Roku Grill.

Vegas also has a lot of good off-strip food in the Summerlin area closer to Red Rock (maybe too much?).

Lazy Dog (I've never had a bad meal there and your crag dog can accompany you on the patio which has a big fire pit. This place is 10 minutes from Red Rock)

Dim Sum Café (fun with a group)

Naked Fish (phenomenal sushi)

Juan's Flaming Fajitas

Capos (a very fun, mob/speakeasy theme restaurant)

Paymon's (Mediterranean )

Giovannis (pizza and Mediterranean) 

Herbs and Rye (get there before 8pm for half-price steak!)

Echo and Rig (Steakhouse and also have a great butcher shop)

As mentioned already, Spring Mountain area has a ton of good Asian restaurants. 

For beer - Beer Zombies! The one in Summerlin is just draft but always a great selection of craft beers from around the U.S. The one on Warm Springs has draft but you can also buy individual cans to take with you. Both have good food attached. 

For the NY folks among us, I just remembered - one of the best meals I've ever had was at this cozy little restaurant called Hoot Owl in the middle of nowhere about 15 mins south of the gunks. I thought they closed a while back but it seems they've reopened (and the google reviews suggest they're still on top of their game)! Seriously, treat yourself some late fall weekend, it doesn't disappoint - the tamarind ribs were insanely good.

No, it's not on the way back to NYC, but it's worth the detour at least once.

MattH . Hoot Owl—what town is it in?

That gas station outside smith rock. They have these gnarly tamales. I once at 7 of them and got sick.

Moab: Miguel’s Baja Grill

Google maps says Pine Bush NY, but it’s on Awosting rd about 3 miles north of downtown Pine Bush. It was about a 10-15 min drive from the Trapps if I recall.
