Carver’s is a favorite breakfast spot for both locals and tourists. They are known for their extensive menu, large portions and fast service, making Carver’s a perfect place to fill up before a long day on the slopes. They serve breakfast all day, so if sleeping is your idea of a great vacation, they’re perfect for an early afternoon breakfast. The atmosphere is a combination of a coffee shop and a diner, in both choices and service. The food is surprisingly inexpensive for the quality, making it an excellent choice for families or large parties. If you’re new in town, stop by the Visitor’s Center first and pick up some pamphlets to read over while you eat a great meal.
What They’re Known for: Carver’s is known for their all-day breakfast, coffee selection and their bakery. All baked goods are made in-house, so you are sure to get them right out of the oven. They’re also known for their quick and excellent service, allowing you to start your day more quickly. For adults, the Bloody Mary is a fan favorite, if you are in need of an early morning drink.
What to Watch for: Carver’s closes at 2, so if you’re craving waffles for dinner, they won’t be open. Because it is popular and inexpensive, it’s almost always packed during the breakfast rush. Plan to wait a few minutes for a table, but then expect a meal that will keep you going throughout the day.
Price: $4-$10
