Mill St Eats
Phil's Take:
Great burgers, great wings, all sorts of American Fare type food cooked fresh to order. During the weekdays it's pretty easy to get into here, sort of an old style dive bar vibe. Never had a bad meal here, the Modelo's are pretty ice cold too.

Unassuming American restaurant offering burgers, ice cream & beer in a strip-mall setting.

The Bean and Cream
Phil's Take:
Nice little coffee shop and place to pick up a pastry in the morning. Always a little busy and prices aren't exactly low but it's worth it. Never had a bad cup of joe here, just be prepared to wait for it.
From the Web:
Enjoy delicious organic coffee, premium tea, custom chai, and more… made just the way you love it! And we’re keeping the tradition alive: the Mountain Mocha! Made famous right here in Black Hawk!

The Mishawaka
Phil's Take:
A cool bar / restaurant along the Poudre River, usually pretty busy but they get you seated quickly. Most of the food is what you would expect from typical bar fare, fried stuff and such but...you won't leave hungry. They also have concert events and other stuff if you are into that.
From Website:
Enjoy a front row seat of the Poudre Canyon and River while enjoying a meal and locally made craft beer at the Mishawaka. There is no better spot to share what Northern Colorado has to offer so bring up your friends and relax. Treat yourselves to lunch and an Odell brew on tap, stay for the fresh mountain air, stunning rays of sunshine, the rushing Poudre River and occasional wildlife!
We partner with the highly respected micro-brewery Odell Brewing Company, located in Fort Collins, CO. We serve a variety of Odell’s craft beers for your enjoyment. As well as featuring a selection of wines from The OBC Wine Project. Also offering a full service bar and specially crafted non alcoholic cocktails.
Mishawaka is a complete restaurant with a wide variety of delicious casual fair for everyone’s enjoyment, including vegetarian friendly fare. Enjoy a meal on our expansive deck and watch the big horn sheep grazing on the canyon hillside or enjoy indoor seating with large bay windows which offer river views.

River Rock Cafe
Phil's Take:
I've eaten here several times and the local food and vibes are very cool. The food is satisfying and the menu is pretty diverse, they have good drinks as well. If you are traveling through to grab lunch or to stay the night this spot will not disappoint.
From Website:
In the heart of Walden is the River Rock Cafe. We're in "downtown" Walden, right on Main Street where the Coffee Pot Cafe once stood. That landmark was destroyed by fire in 2002 and the River Rock Cafe was created to provide more seating, a bar and a banquet room. The interior design features river rock and timber reflecting the spirit of the West in Jackson County. It is a gathering place for all of us who call this little town our home. And amid the cowhands who stop in for coffee and families who share a meal together, The River Rock is also a pit-stop for travelers from around the world.

The Shaggy Sheep
Phil's Take:
I have eaten here many times and the food never disappoints. There is usually an Airstream trailer outside with snacks and inside you get the full menu. It's a smaller menu but the quality of the food is very very good.
From the website:
East Coast transplants Sarah Bennett (a produce purveyor) & Chris Howe (a Chef), were drawn to the natural and culinary scenes of Colorado. As fate would have it, their paths crossed while they were both working in the industry in Denver. They traveled to the mountains often and fell in love with the Bailey/Grant community. An ode to their new neighbors and Colorado's state animal, the Rocky Mountain Big Horn Sheep, they opened The Shaggy Sheep in July of 2016 to serve fresh wholesome meals to their local community and travelers. After the couple wed in August 2016, they expanded The Shaggy Sheep to include a relaxed lounge for the local community to gather.
