The Mint is a one of a kind restaurant where you can grill your own steak to perfection when Mother Nature prohibits outdoor grilling when big snow dumps! The community grill is fun. You can pick out what steak you will eat from the meat/fish case. You are Guaranteed a good steak because you make the selection, not the cook! The salad bar is great, you can grill vegetables or make a wonderful salad. Lol friendly atmosphere great bartender! I had a lot of fun here when I visited. The food is delicious and the Mint potato is a must for dessert! There is no place like it! I will return when I'm in the Mountains read more

It was okay. The food was good. We had a great waiter. I just don't know if we will return. It wasn't all it was hyped up to be.

Our 1st time at the Mint and we were blown away. We were at the Mint on Friday 8/7/2020 the staff and owners have taken every precaution for COVID 19. Social distancing, gloves, masks, wrapped salads, the amount of effort to still serve and create a safe atmosphere was amazing! The food and experience was fantastic! our waitress Makayla, bartender Dee and the owners Tom and Nancy were checking to make sure everything was taken care of. Definitely get out to the Mint and they will not dissappoint! read more

Amanda was the best server! She explained everything in detail, was friendly and very attentive. Our drinks were never empty. We had a great time and delicious food. read more

Worried when they said cook my own steak but was amazing the waiter big tuna was amazing had a great time def can't wait to come back!!!!!!

This place is LEGIT!! We had a group of 7 traveling from out of town and stumbled upon this hidden gem. It is extremely unique in that you grill your own steaks on their coal burning grill and it was the coolest! The meat was extremely high quality and we can't wait to come back!! Fun for the entire family. Don't let the appearance from the outside scare you away. read more

Summary: A fun joint for those in and around keystone and vail where you cook your own steaks. Bring a switchblade to really fit in. -my visit: went there on vacation with my wife and two kids (6 and 5). Had some friends with us (another couple, no kids). Observations: -The inside looks like a place you would expect to find Johnny Cash having beer and cigarettes with Waylon Jennings. -our server was Makayla, who was very chatty and excited about presence in the restaurant...don't get it twisted, there were plenty of other people there too...but she sure seemed happy about us! (Must have been my wife, she's got people skills). Makayla may have been on meth at one point in her life because she is skinny with tons of ink, but I think she's clean now. Good service. -steaks were pretty bad ass. Pick them at a butcher window, then cook them yourself. Same thing with chicken and some other stuff. Check the menu for other animals you can fire and eat - PETA, go sell crazy somewhere else. -location is weird. It's right in between two condo buildings being constructed. Felt like the old dude's house on "up". A super old ass nostalgic building in between a pair of hipster paradii (see how I pluralized "paradise"?). I think there is some historical significance to the building, but who's got time for that when I'm smashing beers and steaks! -beer and wine with some cocktails too as drink options. Verdict: go get some! read more

This place is a true gem! Love it! whenever we are in town we will be back, and we're from California- we have nothing quite like it. You get an all you can eat salad bar then you get yo pick the cut of meat you want and then you cook it yourself on this large grill, with whatever seasoning you want. It fun to stand around and cook. Oh and save room for the Mint potato for dessert. Service was great too! Thank you! read more

I travel from the front range to the western slope every week and every week on my way I stop in to Silverthorne to eat at the Mint 90% of the time I find Josh there eager to help me and sometimes my family if they are traveling at the time we always know we're going to get excellent service he's extremely attentive kind clever and respectful in addition a server skills are unmatched I was very disappointed to find him a longer works there when I was informed that he was terminated I couldn't believe it if you're so strict short staffed why get rid of one of your best employees I'm so confused I wish I could contact him and tell him how important it was for me and my family to stop in and see him every week and how much we appreciated everything he did to make us feel at home: he always made sure, no matter how busy it was, I still felt like the only person there due to extraordinary concentrated service and great attitude; he didn't even flinch when the over inebriated "manager" berated and cursed him over something intelligible Please in the future be careful who you're weeding out . I would like his contact information ; I'd be so thrilled to convince him to work for me: I could replace three people with only him: also I doubt If I will be back. My husband and I dont feel as welcome as a gay couple like Josh made us feel welcome, we are very great full . read more

Well deserved family treat. Been coming here for 30 or so years and glad to say they made it through Covid 19. And from the looks around the last three years have been good for the Realestate in the immediate vicinity but once inside it's the same landmark. Happy Mardi Gras! read more

This restaurant is iconic and fantastic in every way, a great experience for the whole family. The steaks were all high quality, and grilling the steaks ourselves was an awesome novelty. Our server, Amanda, made the experience all the better. She was attentive and very knowledgeable about The Mint's rich history. We will most definitely be revisiting The Mint the next time we are in town! read more

The BEST anniversary dinner ever! We enjoyed our 25th wedding anniversary at the Historic Mint! From the moment we stepped in, we were treated like family! They joined in the celebration with us! The food and service were amazing! What a fun way to celebrate! A special shout out to "Petite", "T-bone" and "Porter House" !! You guys went above and beyond!!! So much fun celebrating with you all!! Thank you!!! read more

My good friend raved about this place on his last stay out in Silverthorne. Based on his suggestion, my two cohorts of mayhem and I descended upon this little gem of a steakhouse. It's no frills at all. Simple concept; you walk up to the glass display case, choose your meat and cook it yourself on the grill. Sides are ordered there as well. Sitting in the middle of the restaurant, the long lava rock grill cranks out over 1100 degrees of heat. Once done, a salad bar is at your disposal and complimentary to your meal. I had ordered the Ribeye at $2 per lb (you choose the thickness, they'll cut it, weigh it, and hand it over to you raw). Once I proceeded to the grill, I had a merriment of seasonings and spices. I eventually chose to baste my steak with their teriyaki mixture. The other two picked the 8oz bacon wrapped filet mignon for $26. Tricky thing about this is... yes, you cook it the way you want it. However, if inexperienced, it's easy to get it wrong and/or overcooked. While I had fun brushing my steak back and forth in teriyaki marinade, my ribeye came out medium and not medium rare. Same thing occurred to the others. At that point, I wished a professional had cooked it. We also ordered mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli. Nothing special, very straight forward sides. After all is said and done, my steak tasted great. I was happy with my meal and the price. What's not to like? Where else can you get USDA Prime steaks that cheap? Now if you don't like it, you have no one to blame but yourself... you made it! read more

What happened to this place from when I Iast came in the 90's? It's a cool concept of cooking your own steak on the grill after a long day on the slopes. However I'm not a steak connoisseur by any means and I can't cook a good medium rare steak if my life depended on it. I ended cooking my steak medium well; which was fine but I'd rather have someone cook it for me. The salad bar was; eh - they used bacon bits instead of real bacon :( I love the experience; sorta like the melting pot concept, but this place needs a facelift or something. The place was empty when we came which should have tipped us off. read more

Great cuts of meat. Service was awesome. All together I highly recommend The Mint if your in Silverthorne.

Awesome restaurant. They have great food and service. Ask for Mathew if you want a great server.

If you want good service go to Sancho Tacos and Tequila. We called this place 2 weeks in advance to book a reservation for a friends bachelor party. When we call again the night of our reservation to confirm they tell us "we don't take reservations 2 weeks in advance because of COVID." How the hell does that even make sense! Instead of going to this place go to Sancho Tacos and Tequila. They got us in almost immediately on a busy Saturday night and the entire crew provided the utmost service! read more

The Mint is what it is, essentially a theme restaurant. The theme is grill whatever the hell you want, but yeah, you're the one doing the grilling. The real question is does this appeal to you? For me, the answer is a clear yes. I love grilling my steak on the giant grill. I love getting it exactly the way I want, I love seasoning, I love marinating, I love rotating. I just think it's an awesome idea. I like making my own Texas toast. I like getting an extra pan to make grilled vegetables. Pro-tip, with a little ingenuity a baked potato can become potato skins. I think the quality of the ingredients is high, and everything comes out tasty. I don't consider this work or being forced to do my own cooking, It's essentially a steak fantasy camp. The service was friendly, if a bit frazzled. The restaurant is called historic, so the fact that it feels dated isn't a surprise. It could probably be freshened up a bit without losing the historic character. I guess it's the difference between something feeling antique and just seeming old. Still, The Mint is a unique experience and if that appeals to you, don't hesitate. I'm looking forward to my next visit. read more

Great place and reasonably priced for steakhouse. Fun ambiance and history to the building.

This is the kind of Steakhouse where you cook your own steak. We went there because one of the kids in our group wanted to go. When I go to a Restaurant, I expect them to cook for me. I could stay home if I wanted to cook. But I could make an exception if I get at least something in exchange. So let's see what we got for $82 in food: A butcher with an attitude; Sides that were made last year; A NY strip who does even comes close to Costco and at the bottom of the range of all the steaks I had the past 30 years; And now to cook this steak, you get a grill who is maybe heated to 350. All this is a recipe for disaster or rather a very bad meal. read more

Had a wonderful experience here! Our server was Amanda and she was fabulous. It was our first time here and she took the time to give us the full introduction to the restaurant and how it all works. She was so attentive and very friendly. Meat was delicious, great atmosphere and the rest of the staff was great too. We will definitely be back again soon! read more

Was recommended to come here by a friend and didn't even know it was a "grill your own" steak experience, but we were pleasantly pleased with how tender each cut of steak we ordered was. Our server Amanda made the experience 100x better, she was extremely fun and friendly and recommended we start with the stuffed mushrooms, which were exactly the way she described them: creamy and full of flavor. We never had empty glasses, and even tried the dessert she recommended, the mint potato- which we did not know what to expect, but it was incredible. Safe to say if you're going to mint, ask to sit with Amanda!! read more

Food was great, staff was friendly, fun, and weird in the best possible way. Amanda was our server and was absolutely fantastic.

Truly a pleasure and treasure! To review the Mint is challenging only in where to begin and end in describing our experience! We were staying in Keystone but wanted less "tourist" and more "local" flavor, not to mention things at the resort were simply too "wait listed". I called Mint. A pleasant young lady answered and said they had tables open and would be glad to seat us when we got there. Everything about the restaurant exuded personality and local character. Our server, Amanda--I had read reviews and heard good things about-- left nothing to be desired. She was welcoming, chipper, helpful, accommodating, and everything I had expected, given her reviews. The food was exceptional. The open, self-grill experience was an added touch of uniquenes for our family of six. One of our children was celebrating a birthday and was honored to have not only the staff but also several of the "regulars" sing happy birthday To her. Amanda checked on us regularly, offered suggestions and gave us a fascinating history of the building and establishment. This proved to be an unexpected highlight of our visit to the area. I not only recommend this restaurant but would recommend you not visit Dillon, Silverthorne, or Keystone without eating here. Two whole-hearted thumbs up! Thanks Mint!! read more

The Mint has as very unique concept in terms of the American dinning experience. You choose the type of meat you want and you get to cook it yourself. In many Asian cultures this type of arrangement is quite common. One might ask, what's the point of going to a restaurant when you have to cook it yourself. The answer to that question is simple, it's about the experience. Going out to a restaurant does not only encompass the joy of the food itself but also the experience. So, if you were ever interested in grilling, the Mint is a fun way to experience it without having to buy a grill. Step 1 - you choose your choice of meat which ranges from new york strip, rib eye(my personal choice of meat), chicken, to fillet Mignon. Depending on the cut and size you order will determine the price. The higher cuts of meat being more expensive while the lower cuts of meat being cheaper. The prices are between the meat you buy at the local store and your steakhouse restaurants. Step 2 - Grill your meat. This is where all the magic happens. The restaurant has a very large rectangular shape open grill that is shared by all the customers. There are your normal seasonings like salt and pepper, but also butter and teriyaki flavor to season your meat. I personally prefer dry rubs when it comes to grilling steak. The most important part of grilling is the temperature. The grill has different temperature points so you have to be mindful of whether there is too much or too little heat because you wouldn't want to burn your steak. Step 3: This the easiest of them all. You get to enjoy eating your steak. Sides do not come with your steak, they come with a charge. However, there is a complimentary salad bar that comes with the meal. Overall, the Mint is a fun place for the family and for those who are looking for a different dinning experience. read more

Mint Steakhouse - Steakhouses Near Me - Silverthorne, Colorado

Fun experience for families and groups. Steak cuts were high quality and stuffed mushrooms also very good.

How to do The Mint: 1. It's not fine dining. It's a hot grill and good steaks that you cook yourself. If you can't deal with that, then don't go. Period. 2. Skip the sides EXCEPT the "grilled veggies." You will be cooking those yourself. You will be given a metal salad plate that you can put on the grill. Do that right after you get your (raw) meat (prior to cooking it.) Leave your raw steak at the table. Load up the grill plate with a bunch of peppers and onion and plenty of margarine. Let it start cooking down and go make your salad. Take the salad to the table and start enjoying it. 3. Check your veggies and add mushroom and/or spinach on top as desired. Take the steak with you. Lard up both sides of a piece of Texas Toast and grill well on both sides. Start the steak cooking. Go back and eat half your salad and toast. 4. Flip the steak. Go finish your salad. 5. Make another piece of toast if desired while your steak finishes. Remember to let it "rest" for 2-3 minutes after you take it off the grill. Eat that baby with your grilled veggies. Or better, order a big one and eat only half. Get a to-go box for dinner tomorrow night. 6. Tip well. It's expensive to live and work in Summit. read more

This is the best restaurant in Dillon. The vibes are immaculate, the staff is so fun and the food is great. Amanda is the best staff member so make sure she's there (highkey they're all great but like Amanda slays)!! read more

My girlfriend and I were traveling to Vail for our anniversary and got caught in unexpected traffic for about an hour causing us to miss our reservations in Vail. We then decided to look up a good steakhouse in Silverthorne as we would be passing by there anyways. The Historic Mint came up on our search and we decided to give it a try as they label themselves one of the oldest buildings in Colorado! As we walked in, we were greeted with smiles and immediate service despite the staff being busy. They made sure we knew it was a "cook it yourself" steakhouse before we sat down and we were thrilled to have such a new and exciting experience! Katie was our server and she was very helpful and accommodating to make our experience there even better! She was very personable and always made sure we were being well taken care of and had what we needed. We not only had Katie taking care of us but her coworkers were also very attentive. We could tell that the employees there take care of each other, creating a wonderful environment to be a part of. We truly felt like a part of a family the second we walked into this restaurant up until we left. The "cook it yourself" was such a different experience that we would have never thought to be a part of but we are so happy we did it! You get to talk to new people while you cook your steak and not to mention you get a free salad bar and bread! We had a great time here and couldn't have asked for a better way to spend our anniversary! read more

Amanda was a dope ass server! Very helpful and super cool. Would definitely come back and kick ya heard?

This place is so much fun. A salad bar, choose your own meat or fish from the butcher and cook it up on one of their two grills yourself. The staff is friendly at this legendary place that's the oldest restaurant in Colorado. The atmosphere is like a saloon. One of my favorite places in Silverthorne. read more

Great service. I enjoyed cooking my wife's salmon and my steak. It was my wife's birthday. She received a complimentary brownie ala mode, and everyone sang "Happy Birthday." Amy, one of the guests, helped my wife navigate her walker through ice and snow to the front door. On our way out a group of people sang "Happy Birthday" twice more. Good food and a good time! read more

Was hoping to love this place but I really didn't enjoy cooking my own meat or the ambiance. Not fun to juggle the kids instead of just enjoying time with our visitors. Could have done that at home. For this much money I'd rather have a professional cook my food. read more

The most amazing dinner experience. I highly recommend for any age. One of my favorite memories. De and Amanda are absolutely the best.

I am a disabled combat veteran, and travel with a (PTSD) service animal. The rumor was that The Historic Mint has great food, but I will never know because I was denied access by the staff who argued that they are a private business and refused service. Other than the federal violation, and the whole discrimination of disabled persons thing...they could have, at very least, behaved civilly. To my veteran brothers and sisters, we all know the influence of the "Wall of Shame." I invite you to spread the word, and make this business "FAMOUS!!!" *Note* My service dog is a well trained, hypoallergenic, non-threatening animal. There is absolutely zero grounds to deny access. I highly recommend "Murphy's Irish Grill" a short distance away...their prices are exceptionally more reasonable, and they are willing to do business with disabled veterans. read more
