The Canteen is doing a great job despite COVID-19. The drinks are good and generous. We enjoyed the queso fundido and grilled cheese with roasted red pepper soup. Both were delicious. The staff did a great job, especially considering the extra load they carry doing their best to keep things as safe as possible during this difficult time.

We visited on a Thursday afternoon for a late lunch with our kids (both under 10). We were seated quickly and a server came to our table immediately to get the drink order. The kids menu was the typical items - burger, chicken strips, grilled cheese, etc. Service through the whole meal was quick and friendly. We had burgers and salads. Our meals were very good and the servings were plenty large enough. The social distancing seemed quite good where we were seated in the bar area.

We were in Breck for the Ice Sculpting Championships and asked someone where to have lunch. Two people said, The Canteen. They have parking for free if you get there early. We arrived around 1130 and were promptly seated. Four of us shared a Mac and cheese. Okay dish with tasty cheez its baked on top. Two of us shared a ginormous grilled reuben sandwich with fries. Delicious! Too much food if one person ordered it unless you’re really, really hungry! Our friends had a wedge salad and a tomato soup with grilled cheese. They both enjoyed that. The music was retro to the Allman Bros seventies. Not too loud. Our waiter Ethan was awesome, he kept checking on us, refilling water, bussing the table. They have an outside patio but it was a bluebird sky and 14 degrees. A little chilly to dine out. Check it out!

We had a nice time until the bill came. I ordered a salad and asked to exclude the meat. The waitress then asked if I would like to substitute the meat for avocados so I said yes .... When we got the bill I was charged an extra $4 for the avocado. When we asked the waitress why we were charged for the avocado she said it was because it was an extra. We asked to take it off the bill and she said she couldn't. She then asked her manager and the manager came back and said she couldn't take it off. So my vegetarian salad ended up being $20 (more than it was with the meat). Horrible service that ruined our experience. Definitely wouldn't recommend.

At last in our 5th visit to Breck managed to secure a table for two without having to wait in a long queue (told we have table for 1hr 20 due to a booking). We both ordered a burger which came with French fries - I ordered bison burger with a $3 supplement (not complaining). Server informed us soon after taking our order that no bison left. Burgers came - hubby’s came without a burger!!! So he had a pulled pork sandwich, our French fries were brown and looked as if they’d been triple cooked. Asked server about this and he apologised that hubby’s burger was missing and admitted that our French fries were the scraps at the end. He didn’t charge us for hubby’s meal and I was given a $1 discount for my fries. To be fair the kitchen shouldn’t have let that food leave and the server (knowing the food) should have refused to serve our meals to us. Won’t return but the couple to my right had New York strip loin which looked amazing!

We had 6:30pm reservations and were seated immediately upstairs. Note that with heat rising, it is very warm upstairs. I tried their true 7 minute German Pilsner which was okay if you like really light tasting beer (eg. Miller lite). As an appetizer, we had the smoked salmon which our server said they make on site. Unfortunately there was virtually no smoked flavor, in fact the weakest smoked salmon I've ever tasted. Fortunately I like regular salmon, but would not suggest this appetizer if you like a good strong smoked flavor. The BBQ pork sandwhich was good. With too many other choices in town, no plans on returning again.

Fun place with very nice atmosphere and great service. At the end of the day it is about the food which was just ok. The gumbo was not good at all with very small and tasteless ingredients (especially the shrimp). The fish tacos were good and the brisket sandwich was average. Would not rush back.

We stopped at this place due to the positive reviews. The place was packed and they have a communal table if that is for you. We waited for a table, and didn’t wait too long. The server was courteous and efficient and the food menu varied. We had the tilapia fish tacos and the honeydew chicken sandwich. Both were very good, specially the tacos that tasted very fresh and juicy. The chicken sandwich was good but they put too much cream cheese. It should have less so that the flavors are more balanced. Overall, a nice lunch but nothing too fancy.

Canteen is a cool place to visit in Breck. Their patio has great views. The Bloody Mary is served in a canteen, very nice touch. We had the Salmon dip and my husband who hates Salmon even enjoyed it. Dan was an amazing server and made it even a more enjoyable experience. Highly recommend.

Our family had a yummy, reasonably priced lunch at The Canteen in Breckinridge. Lots of choices for both vegetarians and carnivores. The mac and cheese with peppers was spicy snd delicious — interesting touch to add some “cheez-it’s” on top. Good tacos and burgers too. Dogs were welcome on the large patio, and we had views to the peaks to the west. Definitely try it!

We've been coming here for years and always loved the uniqueness and great food. BUT, now this place is just a notch above McDonalds. Over 12 items have been cut from the menu, the Cuban, Fun Guy, Too Beaucoup, Brisket, Turkey BLT, Main St. steak, Brisket Plate, Chicken Dinner, Blanco flatbread, Italian Chicken salad, Charcuterie board, and one of our favorites, Chipolte shrimp. All gone! If you read closely to the burger offerings, what you can order is a cheese burger, and to spice it up, chilies or chorizo. No more sandwich on a burger!
On this visit we ordered the Gusto, a cheeseburger without the BBQ sauce. It arrived on a single plate with fries and lettuce, onion, pickle. We asked for a second plate to share our meal and thoroughly pissed off the blond woman from the kitchen who delivered our meal. She left and our waitress stepped in and brought us another plate. And, while we were there this December, for some reason this restaurant was experiencing an onion ring shortage so no onion ring side orders. (No shortage in Fairplay bars) The onion rings were being saved for those who ordered the Hoss (cheese burger with onion rings and BBQ sauce).
I know the pandemic has affected many restaurants but this was the claim to fame for the Canteen, not to mention their Moscow Mules. I always wonder why, when something works, and works good, people feel they need to change it. Now the search for a great restaurant starts all over.

We went here twice during a recent short trip to Breck and loved the food both times. The portions are generous (we shared 3 meals across 2 adults and 3 teenagers). We are a family of picky eaters and this place had lots of options. Everything was delicious.

Quality to price ration is absurd. You’ll get a better investment anywhere else in Breck this place SUCKS… they charged me $20 for Mc Donald quality chicken nuggets. Will absolutely never revisit this place!!! Highly recommend others to avoid unless in dire need of food.

This is a good one in Breck. First, how can you not appreciate a Bloody Mary and side car offering in a mini cattle water trough (pictured)? It’s a big drink. And a stubby High Life, fully on point.
The hero here though is the pork green chili. Perfectly spicy, maybe on the hot side as it should be. I’m trying to figure it out, so we took a couple new orders back with us after the dinner (it’s that good). Fries are fantastic too, super hot and salted to perfection.

Walked in late on a Friday night. Saw it had decent reviews. Did not need to wait to be seated.
The BBQ platter was not good. Brisket was sliced on a meat slicer and had no smoke flavor or crust from smoker, it seemed it was oven roasted. Pulled Pork was dry, crumbly, and again not flavor as one would expect. Ribs were okay, a bit on the dry side. Seem the plate had sat under a warming lamp. The sausage was the best of the meats. Cajun Fries were good.
Waitress did give a discount on the food when she saw I did not eat the brisket or pulled pork.
My wife had the beef stew. It was adequate, nothing special.
The waitress was friendly.
