Seriously the best breakfast we’ve ever eaten. We were seated right away by friendly staff. We both wanted the Dutch Baby pancake & the waiter suggested we split it because it’s so huge & get something on the side with it. We decided to get the 2 eggs/bacon/hash brown/biscuit plate along with one Dutch Baby. So glad we did! The eggs were cooked & seasoned to perfection. The bacon & hash browns were out of this world outstanding. And the biscuits were the best biscuits I’ve ever had in my entire life! I’m from the South & I’ve had my fair share of excellent biscuits, but this place blew them away. The Dutch Baby was incredible & huge so we’re glad we shared it! We weren’t able to finish it all after splitting the other plate first. My only regret is not getting some biscuits to go so I could eat more later! I couldn’t recommend this place more highly.
The Little Diner has been our breakfast destination the past 2 years in Vail. The waitress remembered my partner and I from last year!!! From the food to the service to the atmosphere Little Diner is truly the best !! Congrats to Brian Little on having such an amazing place!!!! If you are in the Vail area you have to go for breakfast.
We spend a week every winter skiing in Vail Colorado. Every day begins with breakfast at The Little Diner. Expect a wait, but the it is well worth it. I wouldn’t think of eating breakfast anywhere else. The food is fantastic, and Brian & Peggy Little are the nicest most cordial hosts. A 5 star rating is high enough.
Great place! Very good service, and delicious food. Made me feel at home with pork roll egg sandwich. It's a Jersey thing. And to find Cincinnati Chili in Vail was a treat. It's also a Cincinnati thing. Quality food and good atmosphere. Going again when back in Vail.
This place is the best. Food is excellent, people are great. A hidden gem!
We loved The Little Diner! The food was absolutely delicious, the portion sizes were huge, and the staff was friendly. There was a 60ish minute wait, but we were able to walk around while we waited, so it went by quickly. Also, they're expanding, so hopefully the long wait times will soon be a thing of the past.
We just visited last week for 3 nights in Vail. After a very expensive hotel breakfast the first morning, we had breakfast at the Little Diner. Awesome service, but plan for about a 30 min wait. It is worth it.
Best pancakes and bacon I have had in a long time and there summertime fresh fruit is straight-from-the-vine blackberries, raspberries and blueberries. Yum.
A Sunday morning in April on Closing Weekend - the place was packed and rightly so! Breakfast here is must when in Vail. Get the burrito smothered and if you like German pancakes, the Dutch Baby here is top-notch. We'll definitely be back. #HeidiTown #roadtrips
After our first day in Vail having paid a ransom for a mediocre breakfast at our high end hotel, we tried The Little Diner and it was fantastic. So much so that for the following 7 mornings we again skipped our hotel restaurant and went to TLD. Service was fast and friendly. Food was great. Prices are reasonable. Plus a great location. Highly recommend TLD.
My family and I stopped in yesterday on our travels. This place was hands down amazing! Every single thing we all ordered was delicious. And the staff was so welcoming and friendly. The Little Diner is definitely on our list of places to visit again.
Awesome menu choices. Food was amazing. Staff was very attentive. Diner atmosphere-Yes! Great spot to eat in Vail!
I've eaten here a handful of times over the years, and every time is a magical experience. There are so many things about this place that make it unique. The location, of course. The building itself is as intimate as you can get. Being able to watch master chef Brain make everything directly in front of you. Oh, the food is also really good. Just be sure to get there SUPER early.

The food was amazing!!! A must for breakfast! Great big menu! I had eggs Benedict.... wonderful! Breakfast for 5 $75. About a 20 min wait!
They just reopened and are awesome!!!! It seems like they are still working out some kinks but still love this place! Try the German pancake or cheese blintzes! Careful with the hashbrowns if you're vegetarian I think they cook them with their bacon. Lunch is also good. There is usually a wait but worth it!
Great find. Loved the burgers, so we came back and tried their breakfast menu. Great service and delicious food.
Best breakfast spot in Vail! The remodel is awesome! Friendly staff and great service!
What a great place for breakfast. Love the hash browns, pancakes, eggs benedict, etc. We are on our way back to Vail August 5th and my wife will be terribly disappointed if The Little Diner is closed. We look forward to the dining experience The Little Diner offers each year we return to Vail.
Hopped in for lunch after skiing on the mountain. Super friendly staff especially the German "grand mother". I got a blood orange Mimosa with my order of creamed chipped beef on rye. Super creamy just lightly seasoned to allow the customer to dictate how seasoned they like. Hash browns super crispy and fluffy Inside. We also got the biscuit sandwich ( super fresh bread) and the Reuben ( so fresh and the beef so tasty. Best of all you get to watch them make your meal if you sit at the counter. A very homey welcoming place.
Loved this place!! The wait was too long on a Sunday morning so we tried again on a Monday and were sat right away. Sitting at the bar was really cool to see all of the cooking. Very extensive menu and everything we had was delicious. Our server was also really nice, attentive and food came fast even though they were busy. If we lived here we’d be here all the time.
Definitely didn't disappoint - better than I expected quite frankly because the greeter and server were really friendly. Inside was a little too hot and loud for us but "outside" worked just fine. Nice spot to fuel / refuel to complete a long day of skiing or boarding.
Amazing food! Great quality, great service. Wish we lived closer cause we would definitely come back!! The Taxi Driver breakfast was amazing, and so was the Dutch baby 👌🏻
Their atmosphere is very hipster, the food was delicious and had a lot of flavor. Their fries were crispy and the right temperature to keep the freshness and heat till I was done with my meal. Their Brooklyn was a spin off of the Rueben sandwich, just with coleslaw. It was so tasty! And the bread wasn’t soggy which made me so happy.
The biscuits and gravy had such a delicious gravy to balance out all of the carbs & eggs. I would go back again for each and every one of these food dishes!
Such a yummy breakfast joint! They said it would be a 40 min wait but we waited only 20! The cooks were super friendly. We got to sit at the bar and watch them make our food. Staff was nice too. I got the eggs Benedict and it was well portioned. The coffee was delicious. Definitely check this place out if you’re in vail. Worth it.
I got the bagel breakfast sandwich with bacon and avocado! It was soooo good!
The restaurant and bathroom was clean, our server was very attentive and friendly, and the fresh juice was tasty. A great road-trip stop indeed 😎
Cute dinner with good food and service. Corned beef hash was delicious and service was fast especially when sitting at the countertop seats.
