- Hernando's, Pizza and Pasta. Local, $7 per person

- Pizza Shop. In Frasier. Good pizza and Italian food. Local, $6 per person.
- De Antonio's, Pizza and Pasta. (2 miles north in Frazier). In the Alco strip-mall, across the street from Safeway. Some of the best pizza by the slice in the area. (Local, $7 per person)
- Mountain Rose. Breakfast in downtown Winter Park. It's fairly small, and almost always seems to have a wait. This seems mostly to be due to slow table turnover and a small dining-room. They're fairly heavy on attitude, and the sign out front says "Hours Iffy". Good food. (Local, $8 per person)
- Fontenot's Seafood Restaurant, 78336 US Hwy 40, +1 970-726-4021. This restaurant has been around since 1990 and is favored by the locals. Seafood is their specialty with or without a Cajun slant, but they also serve steaks, chicken, and pasta. A great selection of wines by the glass as well as some micro brews.

Their traditional German dishes have a huge local following, and includes such favorites as Paprika Goulasch, Jagerschnitzel, and Wiener Schnitzel.
