Copper Red Hots - Copper Mountain

Food is NOT GOOD my 2 year old makes better Mac than this. I am always excited to write good reviews but most restaurants in Copper Mt are way overpriced and just below avg... Get food from Safeway in Frisco.

Format has changed. Hotdogs have taken a backseat to Mac&cheese menu. They still need to spend some money on more staff. But you can't get paid minimum wage and live in Summit County.. Went in a number of times in the past year. Their food is prepared while you wait. Good food keeps bringing me back. Love their Onion Rings when they have them. Not cheap but reasonable given that it is in a ski resort. Yesterday they were understaffed, only one employee working. Why the low rating? They needed more staff to handle orders, clean counter/tables. In the winter when they were busy, orders were misplaced or handed to wrong customers. They run out of product and don't replenish when needed. Inside seating is getting worn out needs to be replaced.

I agree with most of the reviews, great prices for a quick slope side meal, but don 't expect much out of the hot dogs. I 'd even say skip the hot dog completely and stick with the mac 'n cheese. I had the buffalo chicken and Mediterranean the two times I stopped by during my trip. Both were good, and best of all, I didnt have to sit in a cramped cafeteria style lodge. I would definitely go back, but keep expectations in check.

Came here twice in one week during spring break at Copper because the Mac n cheese is awesome and choices are unique. The service is slow, especially when there's more than 2 people in line. There's only one person cooking so you better know exactly what you want. Changing your mind only makes it take longer. Lobster mac was great and the chili and pretzel were too. Will come back again if there's no one in line.

One of my instructors raved about the mac cheese here. Supposedly this is also one of the most affordable places to get food at Copper Village. We got a generous cup of bacon cheeseburger mac cheese for less than $7, and it was delicious!
