Claire’s On The Park

Ok spicy lovers… You know it’s a good place where you pay for it later. I tried the burger with the ghost pepper on it. Amazing! Everyone who worked there was great and the service was prompt. The only reason for 4 stars was parking was tough but hey what can you do when it’s the weekend and everywhere was busy.

They’re seating operation is not done well. This has now happened all three times I’ve tried to eat at Claire’s: we put in our reservation and told there’s a 30 minute wait. Well, 30 minute really turns into an hour. Then when they text that your table is ready, you get up there and you’ll be told it’s another 20 minute wait. First, they should over exaggerate the amount of wait time. Secondly, if you’re texting costumes that they’re table is ready, please stay true to that word, don’t give them an additional 20 minute late. Again, three attempts to eat there, but in the end it’s no longer worth it.

Honestly, this may have been the worst meal my boyfriend and I have ever had, it was inedible and definitely overpriced.

We stopped by Claire’s for breakfast. I had the Bond Park Benedict. Delicious! My daughter had the Bananas Foster Waffle. It was very tasty! We sat out on the patio & enjoyed the cool morning. Great service.

My boyfriend and I went during lunch, and the food was quite great! Unfortunately, the staff was not very friendly and our waitress seemed honestly offended we didn’t leave her a 40% tip.
I ordered the Herb Pasta and it was quite delicious, and my boyfriend’s pulled pork sandwich was tasty and simple.

Run don’t walk there — we found it by accident, and had a great Sunday brunch. Fantastic service and the food matches. Wild game meatloaf was a hood blend and the banana bread French toast deliciously decadent and we’ll balanced. Will be back

Great breakfast here.
Everything from Eggs Benedict to Huevos Rancheros.
I had the Bond Park Benedict, which was perfection.
Himself had the Lemon Blueberry pancakes. With a side of excellent sausage.

Went for breakfast and was allowed to have dogs on the patio. Lots of gluten free items and easily identified. Food was good, big generous portions. I would there again and recommend to others

Went for breakfast. Very happy. My husband and 2yo son destroyed the bacon waffle. My Bond Park eggs benedict were perfectly done. Sitting on the patio awesome.

I think we came right after the breakfast rush because we had no wait even though they were quite full of customers. The breakfast was okay (Quality gets an 8, Quantity gets a 7). Our server spoke another language so there was a lot of broken english which caused the order to be wrong. We also had to ask servers passing by for items she missed. Other than that, pretty decent breakfast.

We had breakfast here on Memorial Day. The service was great. We never had a half full coffee mug. Veggie and Egg White Omelets were really well made and flavorful. Egg breakfast with bacon and breakfast potatoes and English muffin was average. Waffle was very good. The patio with umbrellas was comfy and well shaded. We would return again!

Service was okay, fast at times, but also forgetting some requests at other times. The melted cheese appetizer we had was very good, with plenty of cheese and nice toasted bread slices. However, we were disappointed to find that they were out of their veggie hamburger patties, so the meals we had both been excited about couldn’t be served. We chose the mushroom grilled cheese (they were also out of their fresh mozzarella, so we had to substitute the cheese) and the crab cake po boy. The grilled cheese didn’t have enough cheese and the po boy was in dire need of a less thick bread and some mayo or additional aioli on it (the bread was dry and impossible to eat). There was also loose corn on the sandwich, which was weird. The beer battered onion rings that I added to the sandwich for a $ 1 upcharge were fresh and tasty, and the second best part of the meal. The local Kolsch I tried was meh, nothing to write home about. For an appetizer, two lunch plates, a beer and a soda, it was almost $ 50. I just feel like the small mountain towns don’t have great dining options because of the captive audience thing.

Service was good, but the south of the border omelet was a huge disappointment. There was no chorizo in it at all. The descriptions on the menu looked great. Maybe it was an off day?

While I can’t comment on the food, my friend and I stopped in before a tour with a little time to waste and nasty hangovers needing remedied. We sat at the bar and I had a mimosa while she had a bacon bloody mary. She enjoyed her drink (although the idea of bloody maries gross me out!). My mimosa was good. The bartender was friendly and service was quick. We were able to come in, have a drink, and get our check within 20 minutes. Judging by the line of people waiting to eat, I am guessing their food is good too!

First time here. I like the local vide. The food was amazing. Took a bit longer than I expected but well worth the wait. I had the breakfast burrito and it is in my top 3 favorite. It was large, good flavor and well made. My wife had the portobello grilled cheese and loves it. We will make this a regular stop when we return. Nice job guys!

Exceptional in every way! While visiting, my parents and I visited Claire’s after reading other reviews. Service by Serena was so nice and yet not pushy. Drinks — try the local Dancing Pines bourbon with in-​house ginger ale. We had the wild game meatloaf, the burger, and the eggplant tagliatelle. All were perfectly done, large portions, and full of complex flavors.
Can’t wait to go back!!!

This place is awesome! Great comfort food for breakfast that warmed us up on such a cold and windy morning!
I ordered the breakfast burrito and my boyfriend ordered chicken fried steak. The portions on both were huge and the prices were not bad. We definitely got our money worth out of it. We also both ordered bacon bloody Mary’s. They were the perfect amount of spicy and had a big thick slice of bacon in it.
Our server was friendly, everyone was so busy and working really hard. The restaurant was packed. Who I assume was the owner, or maybe the manager, was stepping in wherever he could and helping everyone out.
My one complaint was that the hostess told us it was going to be about a 35 minute wait. That’s no problem we walked around for a bit and then came back roughly half an hour later. When we got back there were still ten people ahead of us on the list. We waited an additional 40 minutes finally taking a tiny table by the bar just so we could be inside and have a seat. We wouldn’t have minded if she had told us a more appropriate time at the beginning. At least then we wouldn’t be thinking we were about to eat when we still had a while to wait.

Busy place. Slow service. Really tasty food. If they brought our food in 15 minutes – not 20, it’d get 4-​stars. The food was very good though. I had the crab cake eggs Benedict and it was luscious. Their potatoes were a little lackluster, the cocoa a bit weak, but their crab cake eggs Benedict was superb. And my hubby enjoyed his hot pastrami sandwich. This is definitely a viable eating option while in Estes.

We stopped in for lunch on a Wednesday afternoon. Given how quiet the town of Estes Park is, especially in winter and it being midweek, the restaurant wasn’t busy.
We were seated off in the back corner which suited us, being a large party along with a few young children. The service was prompt and courteous. One of the ladies in the front who may have been the owner or manager was really kind.
Everyone was satisfied with the portions and quality of the food. The prices were also reasonable when you consider how big of a tourist destination this town really is.
I would return here, next time to try their breakfast or possibly dinner!

Claire’s is a quality choice for breakfast or lunch in Estes. Their prices, like most places near «the loop,» are too high, but they deliver on both quality and quantity. The portions are easily sharable. The French onion soup was my favorite, but the rueben and chicken salad were both very good! This was my second visit and I would come back.
