Dining at the Baldpate Inn
During the 1940's & 1950's for more than 20 years, our Baldpate Inn's dining room was honored as a 5-star Duncan Hines restaurant. Today our specialty buffet continues to bring highest honors as we maintain our traditions providing an unparalleled dining experience.
Our Soup and Salad Buffet is served daily for lunch or dinner. Although we do not offer traditional entrees, we are loved for our fresh salad buffet, homemade soups, breads, and pies. Not only locals, but travelers especially delight in the refreshing change and value that our SOUP & SALAD BUFFET MENU offers.


Seating in our sunporch dining room offers the bonus of an unequaled treetop view of the mountain valley. If you'd like to know our soups and muffins of the day, we welcome you to call 970-586-KEYS (5397) or check our Baldpate blog for today's selections. You'll probably want to add our blog to your favorites list. Our dining room is open continuously for both lunch and dinner, 11:30 AM through 8:00 PM.
