Kimberlee HerringDecember 14, 2017Everything for breakfast is outstanding! My favorite place in Vail. Dutch Baby with bananas and blueberries. Yummmm!
Ken SSeptember 9, 2015The pancakes are fantastic!! They have lots of great options. Be prepared to wait, but their system for putting your name down is efficient.
Morley ZhiAugust 6, 2019The pancakes are amazing, but don’t sleep on the pork chops, which are wonderfully salty and cooked perfectly.
lennartMarch 5, 2016Sooo good! Very small place (they are expanding soon) so expect to wait for up to 1.5 hours. No reservations - first come first serve
Deb PerezNovember 2, 2018The eggs Benedict was excellent! Try the bacon as well. It is thick sliced and delicious.
Steven BenarioApril 5, 2019Delicious little diner, but super busy. You can add yourself to the wait list from their website.
Rohan MoorjaniJanuary 16, 2015The hashbrowns, pancakes and sandwiches were all amazing, probably the best breakfast I've had- Jackson ShihFebruary 24, 2013The place seats 19. So if you're trying to catch first chair, there will most likely be a line and count from the beginning of the line. I was here on a Sunday and I was the 20/21st in line!
Diana BreenMarch 25, 2014The Little Diner serves an amazing Big breakfast! Bring your appetite and your patience, expect to wait at least 30 minutes as there are lot a lot if seats.
Stevan PopovicAugust 19, 2014A great little diner hosted by the super friendly Brian Little. The bacon cheeseburger was one of the best I've ever had
Nam LuuJanuary 5, 2014Sign in on the iPad at the counter right at the entrance (the same counter where everyone is eating). Biscuits & Gravy are truly legit!
