Description: If you miss your mother’s cooking, you just might find it at Austin’s: The restaurant is well known to Insiders for serving huge portions of good home-cooked food. The outside is unimpressive, but inside the restaurant resembles a rustic log cabin reminiscent of an old hunting lodge. The hearty food and casual decor suit the mountain environment perfectly. For lunch you can choose from substantial hot entrees, a variety of burgers, and super salad bowls. Dinner offerings include steaks and fish, along with such down-home favorites as liver and onions, meat loaf, and grilled pork chops. With delicious homemade pies displayed prominently up front, Austin’s is not a place for dieters. Forget the calories and dive into a meal that tastes like it was made by dear ole Mom—you can always ski or hike it off the next day. Austin’s is open for lunch and dinner daily during the summer. The rest of the year dinner is served daily and lunch is served weekdays only.
