Grand Avenue Chalet, Riverside Bar & Grill: Reviews & Ratings
Great place for lunch or beverages while on the slopes. Food selection if good and quality is always good. Selection of drinks is great. Atmosphere is fun and relaxed. Staff is amazing. Located at the base of the high speed quad, this is a great place to warm up and fill up!
Street tacos (now the Avenue tacos) and a great bloody Mary are always my go to. Great service always
We had a late lunch here today. It was spectacular. My burger was absolutely excellent! The wait staff was spectacular. I still feel really bad though. I looked at our bill, putt the money plus tip and my family wandered out. Luckily the waitress picked it up pretty quickly. It seems that I accidentally forgot a 10 bill I thought I left. I felt so terrible, and I want to apologize again. I’m so sorry. We will definitely be back sometime. Anyway, it was a spectacular meal to end our vacation.
Sorry, we have not eaten at the chalet, but it is so convenient for going skiing at Spirit Mountain. We noticed the other day almost every table was filled & our friend ordered a delicious wrap there. The chalet has many tables in an area away from thd restaurant, and big picture windows to view the ski hill. A woman in a wheel chair was sitting near thd windows & enjoyed watching the skiiers. I believe the lower challenge has better menu items and a nicer dining area to sit in.
We stopped out for beer and food. Loved it! The staff was friendly and attentive. The food was spectacular! I'm very much impressed. We will be back.
Great access to the mountain without ascending the mountain. Wonderful youth ski classes, good food, and social anxiety calming libations. The volunteeers and staff are kind and helpful inside and out.
This could be a gem of a place - but they need to work on a few things. We didn't know this place was even here! Very poor signage on Grand Avenue at the base of Spirit Mtn. And a welcoming open sign should be facing the dark parking lot. The atmosphere needs to be livened up a bit with staff and vibe. How about a couple of TVs turned on and some music? The food was spectacular, however! A little pricey for this part of town, but everything we had was delicious and substantial in portion size. They did have an excellent beer selection and a full bar. I was surprised that they don't open until 12:00 for lunch (11:30 wouldn't that be better?) but, with staffing shortages and all that goes with it these days, I get it. Keep getting the word out - this place needs to be celebrated and turned into a great neighborhood hang out! We will definitely be back!
Great place to grab food or a cold beverage at the end of hiking/biking. Priced at a great value. Right at the base ofthe ski hill, the main lift was in full operation taking folks/bikes to the top of the hill.
