I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. Some of the worst food I have ever had. The wings were so soggy we couldn't even eat them and the cheese on the pizza wasn't even melted, even after they put it back in the oven it was terrible. read more

Five stars because it was exactly what we were looking for. Good local brews, thin crust pizza (shared) and a good assortment of other reasonably healthy dishes and salads. We sat at the bar and had a great conversation and some of the most polite service ever from Tyler. He gave advice on hiking destinations and his take on mountain living as a 20 something. We are seniors into photography, so we much appreciated how he saved us 500 feet of climbing on our hike. Avalanche is a small joint, so if you are looking to put a big crowd into a bunch of comfy booths, this is not your place, but for a basic mountain brewpub it is perfect. read more

Landed in town from Durango. Ended up here for pizza and a beer. Great choice. We had an IPA and a wit. Both excellent. But the hand tossed pizza was the best. Ordered the Nor'easter, a white pizza with a crispy and soft chewy crust. Perfect. read more

Super brews and good food. Cuban sandwich was great. Bonus was the tip on mushroom hunting sites on the way to Durango. Thanks again, I found a nice group of porcini. read more

What a great place. Fantastic fresh food, original brews, and good conversation. Worth the stop! Just a short walk from the train. read more

Great beer, delicious pizza, cool front porch, super atmosphere. Yelp reviews have never steered me wrong! A definite must if in Silverton! read more

Small place but the avocado wrap was delicious. My parents had the ham and Brie but they were out of Brie. The corn chowder was good as was the cornbread. Definitely tasted homemade. Happy we stopped in. Oh yeah, bus your own tables and fill your own drinks. Can't attest to the beer. read more

The beer was amazing, and the atmosphere and view from the porch were awesome. The food was a little bland but well presented and filling. I had an order each of the veggie and chicken tacos, and they looked amazing when they came out, but there just wasn't a ton of flavor somehow. Still plenty of food, and I was more than happy with my Sultan beer, so I had a good time. read more

Walked here after coming from Montanya. Small on the inside, but has decent food selection and of course the beer was great, I really enjoyed the White-Out Whit and some apple and ham pizza. Though, the employees seemed annoyed that tourists like myself and my boyfriend were coming in and were simply inquiring about what was good on their menu. Come on, give a little more effort than that if we are paying customers. Even if we are tourists. read more

Don't order the " award winning " white chicken chili, it tasted exactly like canned soup.

This place has changed hands every single year for as long as we have been coming to Silverton (12 years). So the food vaires day to day and depending on who made it the day before or day before that. Sometimes yes its good, but really how good is reheated food?? Keish- gave 4 of 5 of us FOOD POISONING in September 2011. Keish is eggs, amyone in a restaurant should know how to cook eggs. When we called to tell the "this season's Owner, Austin" he told us it was our choise not to return again!! So guess what Austin- we wont and we will tell everyone else not to return either. With a rude, jerk owner like that who would want to return!! Key Lime Pie- it should be called Key Lime SOUP, cause it as liquid as soup. A refund?? Why No they don't give refunds!! DO NOT EVER GO HERE!! read more

I loved this place. I am in the brewing industry and happened upon this establishment when I was in the area backpacking. I really enjoyed the ambiance of the brewpub. I enjoyed the food and beer, but the personable nature of the brewers/owners behind the bar really was the highlight of my experience there. I would recommend this brewpub to anyone fortunate enough to find themselves in that neck of the woods. Cheers. read more

When doing my research on places to eat before our trip to Silverton, I was excited to try the Avalanche Cafe. Unfortunately, once we actually ate there, it wasn't too exciting. Service was fine. Not great, but not bad. Perhaps we just had 'STUPID TOURISTS' stamped on our foreheads, but the guy behind the counter wasn't too friendly. My husband and I both ordered wraps. He got the Avocado Wrap and I got the Greek Wrap (I think that's what it was called). We got our daughter a grilled cheese and a bowl of fruit. My husband felt his wrap was really dry and didn't even taste like avocado. He had to go ask for more sauce for it, and after that, said it was better. Mine pretty much tasted like greens and dressing. I could taste almost nothing else, because it was so saturated with dressing. Meh. We did try some of our daughter's sandwich though, and it was pretty tasty. It had been made on a panini press, so that might be the key. All in all, not impressed. :| read more

Avalanche Brewing - Greek Wrap - Pizza Near Me - Silverton, Colorado

This is my favorite spot in Silverton. The food, service and beer cannot be beat! I can't wait until they move to their new/bigger location. The owners and staff are all so welcoming and friendly. It's worth the drive to Silverton to have a meal and a beer at Avalanche. read more

The Pizza was amazing. You could tell it was all fresh ingredients and the crust was to Die for. The crust had just the right amount of crispy and is brushed with a garlic butter (??). Don't get me started on the HOMEMADE Ranch dressing!!! They need to bottle that! If in the area again I would go back. read more

Slim pickings for fresh and relatively healthy food in Silverton, but Avalanche delivers with awesome pizzas - we loved both the Mediterranean and Neopolitano with tons of pesto and crunchy crusts. Also good beer and a friendly staff. Sit outside on the porch and chill for awhile. read more

I went for the beer, but happened to go around lunchtime so ate food as well. They only had two in-house microbrews, both of which were average. The food was sub-par (bland sandwiches and wraps) and the service was truly horrible (rude and latent staff). read more

Loved the place from the moment I walked in, and then I got my drink and my food. If they could somehow make a more exciting breakfast burrito and some edible 'pumpkin bread' they'd have something going. Coffee was average if that. read more

I would so a 3.5 if I could. This place is tiny. They claim to be vegan friendly, but didn't have any tofu (protein). The beer and food was good once we got served. It had a nice ambiance and bartender. read more

Chicken Thai wrap hit the spot. BLT was also good. Pale ale was slightly hoppy and very clean. Too early to sample pizza. Staff is pleasant and committed to good service. read more

Visited this comfortable, relaxing place today. How was this place selected? They are dog friendly on the patio! We had White Out (a Belgium type Beer), Treasure Mountain (pale ale), plus the house IPA (sorry not the one I drank so I cannot remember the name). We all enjoyed our beverage of choice! Only a little disappointed that the did not have their house porter beer but gives us a reason to visit again! We also had their pizza. Which is OUTSTANDING! In case you are curious, they were the Hot Chola and the Mediterranean Pizzas. read more

Nice pizza and excellent beer. Great stop after climbing at The Stripe. Definitely recommend this place.

Vegetarian options are phenomenal and do not miss out on the baked goods! Quick, friendly service. We had the butternut squash, pear, curry soup and a Thai wrap. Perfect combo only enhanced by the decadent pecan pie bar for dessert. read more

Stopped in after taking the train up from Durango. We did not have a whole lot of time. Avalanche Pizza was quick and tasted great, the beer was cold and the view was unbelievable. Would definitely go back! read more

I haven't tried the beer but I have tried both the pepperoni pizza and the pesto wrap. Both were very good and affordable. I great place to eat in Silverton! read more

This is a great place to get some coffee and a small breakfast item. Do not go looking for an experience or special cuisine.

This place is a joke, coffee and food prices are high for what you get. Burritos are premade and not worth your taste buds. Ruben is poorly done, meat is chunky over cooked and dry, nowhere close to a Ruben. Portions are small. Now, Americano wise, we went there 3 different days and amount of shots you get in the large Americano changed every time, yet I always paid $3.75, go figure.... Service is very poor and slow, 10-15 min for 1 Americano with two customers in the shop?! The place is kind of like a hippy bar. Will never go back, it's not worth my money nor my time. read more

LOVE Avalanche! Perfect place for some unique and delicious beer. The Neopolitano is definitely my favorite pizza. Staff is friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend stopping by whenever you're in Silverton! read more

Best latte in town!! I have been here for 3 weeks and I have tried all other coffee shops in town one burnt the milk and the others just weren't made right. read more

Amazing pizza made fresh, hand crafted beers made themselves, and the friendliest staff you can find. They helped us decide what to eat and food was delivered quickly. read more

Visited today with my family. We ordered the Californian, pepperoni and supreme pizzas and a caesar and a spinach salad. All were very good! Staff was friendly and helpful! I would highly recommend. It is a small place and not much seating. I did read they are moving to a new location soon. read more

The pizza was delicious! If you like garlic and cheese you'll love this. Staff was decently friendly, not outstanding. Clean enough.

Stopped in for a beer here on my way through Silverton. My buddy got the pilsner and I got the IPA. We both liked our Beers a lot. Very small but has a nice porch and good decorations that lead to a nice atmosphere. Cool trail signs from purgatory in the restroom. Bartender was friendly and fairly talkative. Did not get her name. Will stop in for another beer next time I'm in town. read more

The Avalanche is a great place for breakfast and or lunch. Kind of a throw back to the hippie days. It's one of the only places in Silverton that has good coffee. Prices are fair. Would highly recommend read more

Really good house-made beer. Nice getting the low-down on Silverton from the owner. Lots of grain-free items on the menu. The corn chowder is some of the best I've ever had! read more

Came here while vacationing, beer was great and food was decent. Only gripe and what ruined it for me was the staff. Seemed annoyed that tourist would come in and ask what's good on the menu. Then somebody else in the kitchen making snide comments if you didn't pronounce something the way they would have. I figured for a town who's economy relies on tourism might display a little better hospitality towards a tourist. I'm trying to give you my money, don't belittle me in the process. read more

What a pleasure to walk into this tiny bar and restaurant and not feel like they are only interested in how fast they can get my tourist dollars. Very welcoming atmosphere with friendly staff and cheerful ski-based decor. Several vegetarian options were available, happily, and I had the delicious Mexican butternut squash soup, my husband enjoyed the Southwest Turkey on toasted sourdough. My soup came with gluten-free cornbread which was yummy. I don't need gluten-free food, and was surprised to find this was good, to be honest! We will be going back for their breakfast tomorrow since there are some intriguing options. read more

We had the Neopalitano pizza and it was great. The beer selection wasn't huge but the porter and wheat were great as well.

Not great, not even good! This place has changed owners every couple of years for like 12 years!! They always say in business for 12 years but its not the same person owning it for they long. False advertising!! $9 Latte ?? Are you joking it was barely warm! Breakfast was nasty no flavor at all. Tried to eat outside but every chair was dirty or broken. Very disappointed since inside there's only like 2 table and they were full. Go to brown bear its cheaper & better read more

OK, I heard good reviews about this place so we decided on 2 salads for lunch. Advertised price on a chalkboard said $5.50 for a large salad. We got a Thai and a Greek salad. When my husband went to pay they entered the amount and then added $3.more on one and $2. more on the other. My husband said "Wait...they are $5.50 each on your board here..." The response was "Prices are subject to change." WHAT??? How can a business do this and stay in business. In addition, the Thai salad was nothing but lettuce, some shredded carrots and a few sprouts with a mediocre dressing. I would definitely NOT recommend this restaurant. A ripoff for bad food. read more
