Ajax Tavern Aspen Reviews
We got to Ajax right when they opened.
We were seated promptly and our server brought us a high chair and booster seat for our kids. Our server was helpful in finding something that our kiddo with a dairy allergy could have. He had a burger with a sourdough bun! I had the double chees

My family eats at Ajax every time we come to Aspen as it's so conveniently close to the gondolas. My family wanted to call out the amazing service that Ani, our waitress, provided. She ensured that our son (with a dairy allergy) got a burger wit

We visited Ajax Tavern on a sunny summer afternoon, fresh off the gondola and ready for a bite. The greeting staff welcomed us warmly and recommended the Smash Burger--hailed as the best in Aspen. My husband took their advice, and it didn't disa
Service was good.
Margarita was not good. Beer was cold. Fries were excellent. Very pricey but you are at the base of the slopes.

Wow. So so good. Beautiful setting. Delicious food and our service was amazing (I believe our server was Kaylee?). They gave us the most delicious bread with a white bean truffle spread to start. Awesome happy hour. Do not listen to bad reviews. Fa
Rude service- checked out for offseason -stayed by 2 of the staff
Ski down to Ajax Tavern for a beer with friends to encounter a very rude Bartender saying thereโs no more apres ski, โitโs off-season.โ Even though I noted that there are two weeks left that the mountain open His reply was, we are checked ou
Service nice.
But man that kitchen needs some help! Entree came out cold. When It re-arrived (mushroom gnocchi) it was underwhelming. No wonder it was one of too reservations one could have at late notice. Considering the price, I'd avoid.
Lovely food, good service, great patio vibe
We were a group of 8 skiers having lunch outdoors on the patio on a beautiful day. Everything was delicious - salads, burgers, cauliflower, squash, fishโฆService was very prompt. The atmosphere was fantastic and we had a great view of the gondola an

Enjoyed the burger and truffle fries.
Great location and ambience. The mushroom appetizer was tasty also
Awful food
Smart place next to the lift where everyone comes to be seen. The food was shockingly badโฆ. We had the famous truffle friesโฆ. So over salted we only ate a third. Onion soup which was more like cheese fondue with some thin onion gravy mixed in. Th
Touristy rip off place
Lousy service and bad food. Typical tourist place where the waitress does not see a necessity to care and the cook is not interested to provide a good quality.
Ajax in Aspen
We went there because the reviews were good. The place is really next to the gondola so the view is spectacular. The service was not extraordinary, just usual. The burger was excellent and the food was good. I would go again for lunch. For dinner , t
What a great lunch experience
Ha! Always a good choice if you have the budget. Service on the deck is good and interactive, food is variable (still the best truffle fries), and cost is very "aspen-Like." Views/Venue is great. Re-enact the Trump slapping on the northeast
Pricey but ok
Beautiful setting on the patio, looking up at the ski mountain and the gondola. Service was friendly and reasonably good. Prices were high, vacation tourist zone high. I had the burger, wife the charcuterie plate. Both were good. However, both
Don't do it.
Just don't. If I could rate it 0/10 I would... although location is perfect. Staff/ service & food is awful.

Ever had that "I conquered the slopes(or the stores) and I need a treat" feeling? This is the perfect patio. It is always a good vibe and is a blend of party and casual chill. Juicy wagu burgers, truffle fries, and charcuterie boards will

You definitely have to make this a stop in aspen.
The food is good, the drinks are good, the prices are reasonable, and the atmosphere is spot on. Service can be improved but we only interacted with 3 members of the team, our waiter was rushed so he rushed us. We were sat without our whole party and
OMG, the BEST service.
From our server Mike to The general manager Jon. Our fries came out cold ish and they brought new ones within minutes. Jon conversed with our party and we enjoyed sitting outside. Loved this restaurant.

If you want to sit outside you absolutely need to plan ahead. We weren't worried where we sat but I wanted to mention this because every time I have come here it's several hours wait. Great place to spend an afternoon just plan ahead. This time we sa

Service is excellent. Food also great. I will continue to frequent.

Agree with others that the quality has significantly gone down while the price has consistently gone up. I've been coming here for the burger and fries and just can't justify it anymore. Fries were great. No problems there and will be back for just t
Good spot for lunch, and apres, at Ajax base
Great lunch with a great view. After skiing ajax all morning, sitting on the terrace with clear skies and a hearty meal is good way to start your afternoon. The waitstaff are generally pleasant though very busy. When seated we were told 60min limit,

Food was good but service was the worst I have had in Aspen.
John was our waiter on the patio and was in a different universe. He openly admitted that he forgot about us. Water glasses were not filled till 5-10 min after we were seated. Then water glasses were left empty for over 30min till after i was done wi
The food here and service is fabulous.
Highly recommend sitting at the bar when Zach is there. He makes the best off the menu drinks and provides immaculate first class service. Order Zach's off menu mint grapefruit cocktail it's amazing. He is a super talented mixologist. 100/10 hospital
Restaurant with a great vibe
Great place for lunch on the sundeck on a sunny day and great vibe at dinner. Have the Wagyu pasta and the mixed platter with the pate.
During the winter season on the weekend was a great time.
The truffle fries are worth every cent and would come back just for those over and over. However the wagyu burger wasn't the best we've ever had.
Nothing hits better than the god-tier truffle fries here
Nothing hits better than the god-tier truffle fries here after a day on the slopes. The live DJ makes this place a perfect place to wrap up an Aspen ski day.
Portions are adequate, not for sharing unless they're apps.
Service is kind however super busy all the time during winter season. Be prepared to wait for your table or food
Kitchen review
We are locals and went for a late lunch, always sit at the bar and this is (was) my go to for French Onion soup. Well this visit was very disappointing! The soup definitely was lacking in every aspect, no depth of flavors and the burger was okay, nor

We visited twice, once for drinks at the bar (get the lavender martini) and again for lunch outside. Both were great visits. They have an excellent wine list with unique offerings you don't find at a lot of places. The cauliflower gratin is a must do
Weโll known and weโll loved for a reason!
Ajax Tavern is one of the most well known places in Aspen. And itโs well loved for a reason - great food, drinks and service all in a casual atmosphere make it the perfect spot for dinner while youโre in Aspen.
Disappointed
We arrived at 11:30am and were seated, but waited for 30 minutes and finally had to search down a waiter. We had Luca who was not engaged at all. Messed up our order and did not check in with us. Raymond took over and was an amazing waiter and took o
Delicious spot for lunch and outdoor views
Lunch was delicious. The servings are definitely generous and if you choose yo share itโs $5! Iโve never seen this before but when In Aspen! Staff was amazing and really enjoyed the vibes and our food.
Veuve Clicquot in the Snow
Stopped here for apres ski, Clicquot in the snow. Enyouyed my glass of yellow label and hubby had an IPA from Aspen brewery. Watched skiers ending their day. Didnโt love the weird club music though, but maybe thatโs an Aspen thing?

The AJAX Aspen
The place is lovely. Absolutely good food. Great service. The hostess were very friendly. The sommelier offered us a tour or Cabernet Sauvignon to help us choosing the wine we want. Terrific! Thanks for everyone who made our night singular.

Still best burger, mussels and fries for us locals with down to earth staff. Going here for years.
Terrible Food
Sadly, we had poor - very overpriced food. I have been coming here for 40 years. There are so many better places to have lunch. I don't recommend this restaurant. If you want a drink and sit outside to people watch- great. But I don't recommend
Not sure how this place made it onto the Eater lists.
This is Applebees but make it apres ski. Salty, greasy, limited vegetarian options, sad drinks.

The food is not good in general. Hamburger had so much oil that the bred was soaked The service was very good

Connect with users posting reservations for Ajax Tavern Aspen
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Ajax Tavern Aspen. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Ajax Tavern Aspen at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Ajax Tavern Aspen page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* ElaborateHouse74, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* ElaborateHouse74 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to ElaborateHouse74 for any questions Peter may have as ElaborateHouse74 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* ElaborateHouse74 now uses their connections at Ajax Tavern Aspen to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If ElaborateHouse74 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, ElaborateHouse74 receives the $200 reward which is credited to ElaborateHouse74's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Ajax Tavern Aspen!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
