    Southern Fried Chicken, side of creamed corn and red mashed potatoes

    People! Listen to me...this is a true southern treasure here in a quaint little city of El Jebel just 30 minutes from Aspen. The food is amazing, the serving sizes are large, and the prices are just right! Take it from a true southerner out of Texas...this place is a gem!

    This is the new country restaurant that opened in the former space occupied by the long standing Italian restaurant in El Jabel. We had early dinner and happy hour there on Sunday afternoon. We started with fried green tomatoes and pork rinds both with wonderful dipping sauces. Happy hour prices are a few less than the regular menu. Also limited happy hour drinks are are all $7.00. We followed with 4 piece fried chicken. All our selections were over the top delicious. Service was quick and our server was helpful. This should be five stars all the way and a great addition to the El Jabel neighborhood.

    We did an Apres Ski and were excited to try something different. When first arriving, the Host did not make us feel welcomed and the waiter seemed hurried. As the hour and a half passed, we noticed that our waiter became more fluid with a better energy. We deduced that it was all due to staff change from 4ish onward. The Food was unexpectedly over the top with flavor and we were very excited with every plate hitting the table.

    This was my 2nd visit, this time with my fiancé. Once again, most everything was good. To start, our server, I think "Anna" ... she was a delight, nice and helpful - just a fun server that made the experience a joy. Nice man was our server too - a lot of fun as well. Quick rundown on the food ... we had some good and ok, some great. Margarita - good, but would go classic vs the house menu version - too heavy and overdone. Specialty drink, "I wash it was summer", we were mixed, I liked it, fiancé was just so-so on it. Wood fired oysters - excellent!!! Simple and tasty - fresh tasting and yummy! Gumbo was just ok, 2 great big shrimp which were nice, but a LOT of rice and not much roux - I'd prefer more roux, less rice - was just heavy - heavy, and some "slices" of sausage would be delish. Flavor ok though - but too hearty (not much roux a LOT of rice) than a traditional gumbo. Nice tidbits of crawfish though. Little Gem Caesar - I'd take a pass, seems they tried to "southern up" a Caesar, for both of us - just didn't work. Maybe a good southern salad, fresh, mixed, creative would work? Home-made vinaigrette? Collard Greens - pretty much perfect in every way. Nice touches of pork, perfectly cooked and seasoned. Spare Ribs - nice flavor and they were gigantic - and a lot of them for a 1/2 order. But - being "spare ribs", some parts tender - some parts chewy, some parts pretty fatty - a mess and hard to eat at a restaurant - you'll need a shower after (Anna gave us wet wipes)!!! Bless you!!! We both would have preferred a "back rib", aka baby back as that is the most tender, lean, best quality, and tastiest of all the pork ribs - these had a nice flavor - tiny sweet, tiny hot, but we'd prefer them sauced and fall off the bone lean, tender, and tasty. White cheddar grits - not too tasty or flavorful. Southern Slaw - same, no flavor, a little soggy. Would like some fresh crispy sparkling flavor in the slaw - was just plain. Key Lime pie - house made and just right, gobbled it up, could have eaten two!!! Summary - some good and "ok", and some great - I might kick it up/mix it up - I love having some of our Southern People in the valley - fun and cute spot - pretty good stuff - *not sure the owner claims their YELP ownership - I hope they do one day - great to have this local place - sone good feedback could help it go "good to GREAT"!

    We were graded by a wonderful hostess. It appears this restaurant is mostly run by women who were…read moreso gracious. We were seriously taken by the bartender whose husband is the chef. What a tag team these to make. She took us outside after dinner and took pictures with us and let us look at and explain to us about her extensive tattoos. What a wonderful woman. And what a great experience. Very unique menu set up. Of course you don't wanna miss the fried chicken. It was excellent, but it's a lot of food. I never had coleslaw and Caesar salad with cottage cheese on the side to start when we sit down at the table. But whatever it was great and like I said unique. We are in a beautiful part of the dining room on the side and it was very mellow. Some great unique cocktails and a wonderful vibe. Afterwards we're just two blocks from the main street and took a nice walk in the evening. Love this town Love all the people we met and love this restaurant.

    I might be able to rate this a little higher but we have been coming here since they opened! I know…read morethings change over time, but a lot of the appetizers weren't as good as they used to be or the same. The fried chicken and dinner sides were good and we got plenty to eat. Didn't care for the dessert, I've had better ice cream sandwiches from a gas station. I wish they would look at the old menu and recipes a little more. The service was interesting they were there checking on us quite a bit but not our waitress, she disappeared for most of the meal. If things have to change I think it should be better food, not making it cheaper for profits. I definitely still love going to the old restaurant, brings back the old style family dining and heritage of the area. We will be back and do recommend it, just hope they keep things as authentic as they can!!

Server asked the manager and then reported the kitchen fee is only applied to food, not drinks. A lie. When I asked the manager, he chalked it up to a computing glitch. Another lie. The kitchen fee is despicable on its own and adding it to drinks is just dishonest.

    I'm leaving yet another... 5 star review for The Pullman because every year I come dine at this…read morerestaurant I am blown away. First off, the most notable thing about this experience was the genuinely most amazing waitress I think I have ever encountered, Grace. Grace was the kindest soul, she took such amazing care of us and went ABOVE AND BEYOND. Me and my family will go out to eat now and say "she was good but not as good as Grace". Second off, The food was AMAZING per usual. I had the Wagyu steak and it was cooked perfectly, I usually hate going out for steak because I find it to never be seasoned as much as I'd like but this took the cake. The blue cheese dip with chips was so delicious, like possibly one of the best things we have ever tasted. We also tried to carrot cake sorbet which I know sounds odd but it was so delicious, you can tell the kitchen staff puts their heart and soul into this food. My husband got the special, which was like a Turkish ricotta stuffed pasta and it was AMAZING. Even my sister who got the wagyu burger, AMAZING. My only critique was the hostess was very rude to my family for no reason when we walked in which almost turned my parents off from trying to the most amazing restaurant. Luckily, the service got amazing after that. Everyone was so kind and helping everyone, just a great atmosphere. They also had the Knicks game playing which was great haha. I can't wait to come back next summer for my favorite meal despite living states away we will always make it back to The Pullman.

They weren't too familiar with the breakfast at the places we mentioned, but one person immediately said, "There's The Little Diner right down the street. It's very good and has even been featured on the Food Network." We decided to give it a try, and we are very glad we did. We arrived around 8:30 in the morning and sat at the counter. At the time we were the only customers there. A very nice lady brought us water and got me a coffee while we looked over the menu. It actually took us a while to decide because there were so many great sounding options. As we sat there deciding, more and more people started coming in. My wife ordered the sausage gravy over a biscuit with eggs and cheese grits, and I ordered the Eggs Benedict with potatoes. When the food arrived, everything looked excellent. The flavors matched the presentation too. My wife said the sausage gravy was outstanding, and my Eggs Benedict was excellent as well. The eggs were cooked perfectly, the potatoes were very good, and the hollandaise sauce had great flavor. While sitting at the counter, we spent some time talking with our server. She told us she had been there since shortly after the diner first opened. Unfortunately, she also explained that the building is scheduled to be demolished so condos can be built above the property, and they are unsure whether the diner will be able to return afterward. It's honestly sad to hear about a place this good possibly being pushed out because of rising development and rental costs. I understand building owners want to maximize profits, but it's disappointing when small local businesses that people truly enjoy are forced out by higher rents and redevelopment. Places like this are what give towns character. Overall, this place was excellent. Great food, friendly people, and exactly the kind of local spot you hope to find while traveling.
