How to Plan a Ski Trip to Purgatory Resort in Colorado

"At the base of the mountain I found Purgy’s to be the classic après spot where everyone gathers — it features live music on the patio, a firepit, and a mingling crowd of locals and visitors." - Evie Carrick Evie Carrick Evie Carrick is a writer and editor who’s lived in five countries and visited well over 50.

We had the new years special menu which was fantastic! It was a wait because of the new menu and also the apps came same time as dinner BUT that head chief they have really is fantastic- such good food. Our waitress was from New Orleans and very friendly and entertaining. I saw a few people leave before their food came out and honestly they 100% missed out. Once these guys get the timing down this will be a phenomenal restaurant!! And it’s slopeside :) we will be back ! Also a few more kid food options would have been nice :)

We all had different items from the menu for dinner on a weekday night and really enjoyed all the food. We normally travel for food but didn't expect much from the only place open for dinner ON the mountain. The French onion soup was great! The gruyere cheese was perfect the temperature could have been hotter. The elk sliders were fantastic. The cheeseburger was surprisingly the most expensive thing we ordered but it and the fries were great. My wife had a salmon Caesar salad and the salmon was better than great. The salmon filet was really the highlight of the night. Service was fantastic, both servers checked on us plenty. I don't understand all the negative reviews but I would recommend Purgys.

Purgys is the on site restaurant at the purgatory resort. We were there in the summer and had bought the activity pass. We stopped halfway through the day for lunch. The main building was closed but it wasn't super clear so people kept trying to go inside. People were also unsure how to order. We eventually 3.the order at the bar. The bartender was super nice and made some good food recommendations as well as a beer recommendation. We got two regular burgers, a barbecue burger, and chicken strips. The food was well made, especially the burgers. We were pretty surprised, especially considering this is a ski resort restaurant. They were very tasty, and well-dressed. The meat was a little overdone but that's fine. The meal was quite pricey, over $100 for the four meals, two Cokes, and the beer. So, that was the only downside. Overall it was a solid lunch so if you're at Purgatory, don't hesitate to grab some food at Purgys.

Let me start by mentioning I don’t mind the pricing I understand location location location. . But cold mediocre food, with a forced service fee on a self order and self pickup self clean system is crazy. Place is a mess, dirty kitchen has stacked chairs and tables. Not a nice place.

Our party had a reservation, after we sat down it took about 20 minutes to get waters and have someone come to take our order. We had our entire table’s order ready to go when they brought our water, took about 30 minutes to get our drinks and an hour to get our food. After we finished our food, it took another 45 minutes to get our check. All in all it was over 2.5 hours total from when we sat down, even though we knew what the entire table wanted to order after about 10 minutes. Food was okay, don’t get a steak.

The water jugs don't get refilled, the food is meh, there was a 1ft hair in my food and prices are astronomical. Get better and go to Dante's or just pack your lunch. My food did come out lightning fast on a weekend lunch hour.

It's not a place for excellent dining, but the options are affordable and good. Of course, the atmosphere for drinks and apreski are perfect!
