Absolutely the best steakhouse in Silverthorne. The service is immaculate, Makayla knocked it out of the park. Along with this, the experience, grilling your own steaks, I mean come on. The sides and appetizers exceeded expectations. Cant go wrong, and that's all folks. read more

I have enjoyed dining at The Mint Steakhouse since the mid 1980's. I was happy to hear that the same family has been operating this uniquely fun restaurant when I visited recently for the 1st time in years! Amazing food, fun experience with the "grill it yourself" concept, & welcoming/helpful staff just like "back in the good ole days!" I highly recommend trying this uniquely fun different style of service if one is in the area! Nice to see a small business like this one still thriving in our modern, more corporate times! read more

We were given a gift card to this place and went in with no expectations and left knowing this will be our new statehouse option in summit county! You do have to cook your own main entree. So if that's not for you, then this place will not be for you. We each had a steak - which we both cooked to our liking - and split 3 sides and a dessert. The old fashioned cocktails were on point and our server was fantastic. Can't wait to go back! read more

WE loved this place great food & fun cooking , highly recommended. great spring break vaca spot read more

We were a little apprehensive at first at the prospect of cooking our own steaks, but we are really glad that we took a chance! The staff were very welcoming and helpful, and walk you through the process. First you stop by the butcher case and pick your sides (which are prepared and cooked for you and brought out) and your meat- I opted for a filet mignon. Then, you take your meat to the grill. Seasonings and butter are provided, as well as thick slices of white bread to grill your own Texas toast. There are cooking time recommendations listed on the wall for those who are new to grilling. There is also an all-you-can eat salad bar with many delicious toppings. My only disappointment was that the prime rib had been discontinued (this you wouldn't make yourself for obvious reasons), but the cut of meat that I grilled was tender, the experience was fun and one-of-a-kind, and I would highly recommend giving it a shot! read more

We had a fantastic time at the Mint. We went a couple weeks ago, and being off-season there weren't many people in the restaurant. This made for a laid-back experience before and after grilling our own steaks! T-Bone was an astute waiter, and did everything he could to make our experience wonderful. We will be back the next time we are in the area. read more

This is such a fun experience if you're looking to mix things up a bit. This is a "choose your meat and cook it yourself" kind of deal. The quality of the cuts is fantastic and they have plenty of seasonings to choose from. Don't worry if you're not sure what you're doing, there are directions posted! Every meal here also comes with an all you can't eat salad bar which is fantastic, but you pay extra for any sides (asparagus, potato, fries etc) that you want aside from the salad bar. I would totally suggest grilling up some of the salad bar veggies and making some Texas toast with the bread and butter they have at the salad bar!! We didn't have the chance to do this ourselves but we saw others doing it and thought it was a fantastic idea if you don't feel like paying extra for warm sides!! Over all a great experience...except the bathrooms...unless you like sitting behind a curtain that's resting on tops of your knees and feeling like you've been transported to the 70's, I would suggest going at home before you arrive. Please do something about this Mint!! read more

Mint Steakhouse - Steakhouses Near Me - Silverthorne, Colorado

Delicious steaks. So fun to grill our own steaks so they were done just the way we like them. Makayla, our waitress, was great

We came here on our last day of our short vac. Our family had so much fun grilling our own food. Would totally come back again. We had filet that could melt in your mouth and made grilled garlic toast. read more

Great old fashion steakhouse. The atmosphere is gruff. The steaks were high quality and priced well. Can't go wrong doing the grilling yourself. read more

Enjoy coming here! Great steak that's not overly priced. Pick you meat and head over to the grill and cook it yourself the way you like.

We have been coming to the mint for the last 15 years and the food is always great but this time the service by the host was despicable to say the least. Owner I'm assuming since he would have been fired for his rude, short tempered, and disrespectful attitude. I recommend he puts Someone besides himself to be the host. We made reservations and upon getting there he yelled at a group of about 15-20 people waiting and then apologized to us. I was okay with that because I know it's stressful with COVID and what hoops you have to go through these days and our group of 4 were seated and our waiter "T-bone" was very professional and gave us excellent service as well as a grey headed women. We had to wait for about 25 to 30 minutes to cook our steak since there was a party of 12 in front us along with 2 other groups. Everything was fine was grateful that it was opened and did not mind the wait. We were finishing up and eating dessert and this is when it started getting weird. The host came over and said something like "good your finishing up and on dessert" I new they were busy and we are fairly quick eaters and we were trying to wrap up. In fact we were finished way before the 4 groups in front of us. I paid the 200 plus bill and my wife was finishing up when our waiter came over and said I was told to tell you we have other people waiting. We were literally 1 min away from a perfect birthday meal for my wife. I told the waiter "are you kidding, we finished before every group in front of us". I tried to talk to owner going out but he wanted nothing of it- a real jerk. This has been my first bad review ever. Hire a new host. Food is a 5 star but I can't give my money to someone who treats people that way for what they charge. read more

We almost never go out for steak dinner, but drove by here tonight and decided to stop in. Going back tomorrow and bringing friends with us next time. The staff is phenomenal. They're down to earth and extremely helpful and attentive. The steak was some of the best I've had and the experience makes it so much better! An experience and a delicious dinner! So much more than we had expected! Can't wait to go back tomorrow and try this mint potato they told us about! read more

This place has potential, maybe. Food isn't bad, but service really brought down the whole night. It is a different setup-you cook your own steak/seafood and then some veggies. So, if you're a terrible cook, you definitely won't like your food as much. They do give you tips on how long to cook your steak and seasonings/sauce for cooking the food. We all cooked our own and the food was good and most people felt it was worth the price for the cut of meat. The salad bar comes with the meal and is standard. Service started off fine, but became disorganized and slow just bringing sides and drinks. At the end of the night, it took over an hour to get our checks and a lot of people had extra sides charged (we didn't say anything cause it took so long just to get a check). Rustic, run down house atmosphere but bathrooms were dirty and janky. read more

Pretty unique experience, steak was really good. The only thing I would have liked would have been more cuts of steak to slecet from. The truffle fries were also pretty weak, they were more like potato chips than fries. read more

Third year in a row coming to the Historic Mint. Ordered a 16-ounce age New York strip steak and I got to cook it medium rare with Cajun spices. Awesome read more

This place is tired! Move along, nothing to see here. Take your dollars to any of the number of quality places in summit county. Ever since James the longtime manager left this place has gone wayyyyyyyyyy down hill. read more

Horrible dining experience! Came here on my birthday. After finding out I had to make my own steak (probably not a good idea to let me cook anything lol), I couldn't get too mad because we were passing through and probably should've known if I were local..??? However, then we met the waiter, who was practically sweeping us out the door the moment we sat down. My boyfriend told him it was my birthday and we were all excited about having some good steak. The waiter didn't seem to care much and he gave us the run down real quickly. Then I found out I had to make my own salad too, which is OK but I kind of wanted to sit and relax. After very vague direction, we wandered up to the meat counter/ cooler case and I was kind of shocked at how much one steak was. We informed him (another person behind the counter who was more concerned about hanging out with his buddies behind the bar) we were going to split one and my boyfriend decided to just get the shrimp skewer(the cheapest thing in the case) and the guy got all mad and kind of made us feel embarrassed because we didn't get 2 steaks! He said he had to charge us for an extra salad bar fee?? It was an awkward moment. Needless to say, my steak turned out terrible because I am not a great cook and by the time I asked for help it was too late. The fries I ordered were hard ( I didn't have to cook them) and they never once acknowledged that is was my birthday. The bathroom didn't even have stall doors it was a curtain that sat in my lap! I didn't like that. We paid way too much for what we got... The waiter hurried us out from start to finish. I was kind of upset when I left.. :( Had to have another birthday dinner the next night to make up for it!!! I will not be returning ever!!! read more

Just had the worst dining experience of my life. My wife and I went for the prime rib. Happy hour was advertised as 4:30-6:00 so we arrived early and started with drinks. My wife ordered a whiskey sour and I ordered a local micro brew which I expected would be on tap since it was listed as one of three local beers served. My beer arrived in a bottle and they brought her a bourbon and water. When the waiter returned we told him it was not what she ordered. He offered to have the bartender try again but she said to just bring her something that was on the menu---a strawberry dacquiri. Even though the place was almost empty we waited and waited. Finally the bartender returned with a tall glass of pink slush and asked if she wanted whipped cream on top of it. We thought he was joking until she tasted it after he walked away and discovered there was no alcohol in it. They still charged us $5.50 even though it was happy hour. My beer cost $5.00. We killed time at the salad bar waiting for the prime rib to be ready. The salad bar was mediocre and probably violated the health code since a lot of the items were uncovered. The silverware was crummy. The tines of the fork were so dull they would barely punch through my cherry tomatoes. We told the waiter we wanted prime rib and showed him the ad promising a super deal with the ad. He said the prime rib was $2 per ounce and the smallest cut was 10 oz. We asked to share one cut and he convinced us to get a 12 oz. He did warn us there was a $5.00 sharing charge, which was fine with us. We like rare roast beef but when this rib came it was so raw we had to throw half of it back on the grill. Also, he said it was over 12 oz. It came with nothing else on the bare plate. The waiter mentioned that he would be back with some au jus and horseradish but we finally started eating so our meat would not get cold. Eventually, another waiter did bring us those; then our waiter finally returned and asked how we liked the horseradish. I pointed out that it was hard to serve the au jus without a spoon, but he just laughed and went away, never to return. He also said, as we were halfway through our meat, that we had not ordered any sides. He had never mentioned sides until that moment, and I told him a potato would have been nice it was too late now. He disappeared with no apology. Another member of the staff seemed to recognize our displeasure and gave us a local discount on our drinks---$1 off per drink. Overall, the place was a huge ripoff, with quality restaurant prices for mediocre food and terrible service. We will never go back. read more

I just don't get this place. Why would I want to cook my own steak? I do that at home. And it's not clear from these reviews or the website that it's cook your own food. For twice what I would pay at the butcher shop. Just don't get it. Waiter was rude because we had a hard time understanding the cook your own food at first. Would never go again but it it'll be fun to crack jokes for the next few years to who's ever in the car with me as I drive thru Dillon about the time I paid $30 to cook my own steak. read more

Its known as a steakhouse, and it sure as hell is, but the Mint is best enjoyed if you never make it past the hostess stand. No, I don't mean turn around and walk out. I mean saddle up to the bar, order yourself a PBR and a basket of sweet potato fries and then call me to tell me when you're going back, because you'll want to. Sure, you can go the distance and get a table to experience the "cook it yourself" cornerstone of the business. But if I'm gonna spend $40 on a steak, I want at least some burnout who worked his way up from the salad station behind the grill. If you want dinner and don't want to cook, grab a table and have a good time. If you get one by the fireplace its even better. If you just want a couple of beers and some snacks after a day of riding, far away from the nonsense and high prices of the resorts, the bar at the Mint is the best place in Summit County. read more

This place sucks. Expensive drinks every during happy hour and the service was shit.

After me and my family go snowboarding we are wiped out and go to look to kill some time for traffic to clear. We spot Mints. We give the place a shot with our family of 7. We were surprised we had to cook our own steaks. Decide to give it a shot, you're thinking if the food is good? Well of course! I cooked it. So if we cook then you'd think the service would be better since no one is cooking your food....we had to wave down our waiter a few times for his attention. The price was sky high when I can go to Costco and do the same thing for $100 cheaper. So because they only had small 10oz steaks we decided to split them for the 2 youngest kids. They charge us a extra $5 because of that. I'm sorry but for a big family and paid $200 for something I had to cook don't charge us for something trivial. We don't eat out often we never pay that much. I'm shocked. We should have just got up and left. read more

My filet was awesome! Only down side was that I wish they gave a little more instruction at the grill and during busy hours the grill and salad bar can get packed. My husband got the rib eye and loved it. My brother in law got the Cajun steak and said it was over seasoned. We got onion rings and sweet potato fries as sides and both were good. read more

"Yes, that one..no no...THAT ONE..right there... yeah that's the one." That's how my "pick your steak and we grill it" experience went. It was awesome! read more

Please don't waste a dinner out on this place. Perhaps Rex had a few drinks before writing his review. It's old and and has potential, but when only 3 tables come through during prime dinner time on Sunday evening, it's obvious this concept is not working. The staff were friendly, but I had to go ask for our check because the server didn't come back. The food. Well, the salad bar was nice and very traditional, down to the 1000 Island dressing. The meats offered were nice, quality, but mostly plain. The sides were extra. So, you pay $14.95 for a plain, raw chicken breast, no sides. Just salad. I cooked my plain chicken breast with the option of a few spices. Or Teriyaki glaze. That's it. If you can't tell, we were all disappointed. I prepare meats better at home. Sorry, but I just don't see The Mint staying in business long. The competition in Summit Co is too fierce. read more

I live in FL. And have made it a point to eat hear every time i make it out to colorado . You cant beat picking out your own stake and cooking it your self . read more

Loved this place! Small, but plentiful salad bar. Texas sliced bread that you butter yourself and put on the grill to toast! Pick out your own piece of steak (several cuts), fish (several varieties including trout, tuna, salmon and shrimp), or chicken. Take to the grill, season to your taste, and cook to the temperature you like best! There's even a sign on the wall telling you how long to leave on the grill depending on what you have. And don't skip dessert! I don't recall what the name of it was, but we had an ice cream ball rolled in cocoa, with chocolate and caramel drizzle and whipped cream, topped with almonds. YUMMY! Will definitely be going back again......SOON! read more

What a great place and great food. I was blown away by the great service and atmosphere! The steaks were high quality and well priced, cooking our own steaks with great guidance and they turned out excellent! Artichoke and asparagus were fresh and cooked to perfection. The twice baked potato went down great with some local beers!!! Will be back!! read more

Went to The Mint last night because of the ad in the Summit Daily. The place had some pros and cons. All in all , we enjoyed our time there. Our server was very welcoming, and checked on us often to make sure all was good. As one other reviewer said, the place was a bit run down. I understand it is "historic", but it could use a bit of TLC. I didn't know we would be cooking our own meat, so I wanted to make sure that I didn't ruin my steak. Fortunately, my boyfriend, knows how to do steak. Better to take it off earlier and put it back on. The steak was wonderful. Sides were over priced. Six dollars for 5 spears of asparagus is unreasonable. We did get a great price on the rib eye though because it was a "local's" special the night we went. The "free" (nothing is free really) salad bar was pretty good, but real bacon in a meat place would have been nice, instead of fake bacon, and I hate white bread out of a bag, and that is what it was. I do know some people love Texas Toast. Some nice rolls would have been better for me. Everything else on the salad bar was good and fresh. Being semi-locals, we will probably be back, but maybe next year. We did have a pleasant experience, so it is a 3 star, A-OK rating. Pros ~service ~steak Cons ~high priced sides ~needs a bit of a face lift inside read more

Just got home after experiencing locals night! We own a timeshare in Dillon and saw the ad in the free local paper which was described earlier in a review where price is 2.99 for meat and also 2.99 for all you can eat salad bar. Our 1st mistake was not going early when they open at 5:00. They do not take reservations. We arrrived a little before 7:00 p.m. and it was a madhouse. Turns out there are two doors both on the front of the building. We went in the wrong one apparently because there was no host in sight. And people were coming in after we had been there through the other door,(north one) and getting their names in when we were still trying to figure out what the deal was. Another person waiting for a table explained there was a guy running around with a clipboard and to hunt him down to get on the list. He was very hard to find because he was taking names, seating people which also has an upstairs, AND bussing tables, which made it even more of a madhouse. It was packed with people waiting for tables in the bar area. We ended up sitting right at the south door,(wrong door to enter) with the door wide open and freezing to death. After some people lit up their cigs right outside the door we had had enough and shut the door but kept getting open when people would leave and we would again have to shut it. At one point a waitress came by and said my son looked like their bouncer sitting right at the door with his arms folded. He is a big guy and was dress in black like the staff. That was the only enjoyable part of the wait. After almost an hour, which was shorter than they had said because many people got tired and left, we finally got a table. Bad things: Couldn't get a salad plate unless you stood in an extremely long line at the butcher shop. They didn't bring clean salad plates for all you can eat salad refills so people were having to use their dirty plates to go back which was very disgusting. The salad bar was filthy due to so many customers and lack of enough help The serving spoons were sticky and very unappetising feeling after so many hands on them. . Butcher shop kept running out of steak and there was not a runner staff to refill, butcher guy had to leave a line of at least 30 people to go to the kitchen and get more steak. What a pain! Not much choice of meat. Only new york strip, shrimp kabobs, chicken pieces, and one type of fish. Very noisy, so packed you couldn't get to the bathrooms or around people with your raw meat. Our waitress was nice but had to hunt her down for refills on water. Good things: Only cost us 28.00 for 4 people excluding tip. Guys got 2 meats, sons girlfriend only got salad bar. Drank water. Tipped waitress pretty good even though we had to cook our meat and go to salad bar but she was nice and in a good mood. She told us next time to come early or late, it was clearing out a lot when we were leaving. Meat was good and if you could get over the sick feeling of watching people reusing their salad plates and the mess, the salad was good! Advice for The Mint: Get more help,it is impossible to have good service when one person is taking names, hosting, seating, bussing and running like a mad man up and down. There were empty tables all over but people not being seated because he couldn't keep up. Also, separate the main areas where people have to gather so it isn't so congested in one spot. Very poor planning on layout of place. We ate at the Minturn Country Club which is the same plan and it was so much nicer, quiet, and peaceful. It wasn't locals night but I feel they would have been much more organized. We will only go back on locals night if we get there before they open at 5:00 p.m. read more

Absolutely the most fun Place to have dinner in Summit County....from the hostess, to Andrew cutting our meat to our fantastic waiter Nate....it's all about the experience and the staff....the beef is great, the shrimp are great.... Salad....Texas toast....not sure how you can't have a good time here....we love it and we love bringing people here!!!!! Thank you to the amazing staff for always taking care of us! read more

We love coming to The Mint! We discovered this yummy restaurant on our last trip to CO about 6 years ago. During that trip we came back 2 nights for dinner. We just ate there last night and it did not disappoint! The steaks are good quality and priced well. We all had the prime rib and twice baked potatoes. Salad bar was just enough to start with before digging in to the yummy steak! read more

Cook your own food! Assuming you have some grill skill, the steaks are good. Personally, I'll just go to the grocery store which has a better salad bar anyway. read more

Rustic run down feel but great staff and the fun of grilling your own protein and Texas toast makes this a favorite place to go with the kids. I can't say enough about the friendly staff from the hostess to bartender to waitress. A little gimmicky but an institution worth trying on a ski trip. read more

Awesome experience and awesome service! Highly recommend. Staff super helpful and knowledgeable, along with being very friendly.

Horrible!!!!! Birthday dinner disaster!!!! Don't expect a split check with 20 ppl. Serve ur self! Salad bar was crap, but best part. Drink were decent, it's for locals not ppl expecting to spend at least 100$ a person for birthday dinner. Rude staff. They r stait up about rules but come off cheap. read more

If you enjoy cooking your meal, you will love this place. The all you can eat salad bar was great and had a pretty big selection. Then you pick your own cut of meat or sea food and grill it yourself. I don't' know about you, but I don't like to cook at home and I certainly do not want to cook while I am on vacation. It was also one of the most expensive dinners we had in town. We ordered several appetizers, which were all great: stuff mushrooms, cheese sticks, zucchini sticks, chicken tenders. When you add it all up, it was not worth the price. read more
