What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Rex's American Grill & Bar garners praise for its exceptionally friendly service and tasty, fresh food, especially the 'Shroom Bucket and patio atmosphere. However, some diners find the prices steep for the portion sizes and occasionally experience issues with saltiness or excessive fat in dishes.
"We stayed at the Holiday Inn. Rex's is connected. We had drinks and breakfast. The staff are super friendly. They have a relaxing place to sit and drink outside. You can also eat in the patio. Inside is decorated well. Seating is comfortable. The food was very tasty, fresh and reasonably priced."
Julie Etter (The Butcher's wife)
"This meal was the. best. restaurant. meal. we. can. remember!!!! The food was absolutely divine, and the service by far exceeded first class. Ben W. served us and he provided an unforgettably welcoming experience. He and his team of coworkers worked together like a well oiled machine, and it is obvious that they care about taking care of each other and their customers. All of this coupled with stellar prices for a mountain resort town left no room to wonder why we found out it is a favorite for many of the local residents.
Photos:
1) The old fashioned was so good that one was not enough.
2) The ‘Shroom Bucket (which started out full) was so good that I forgot to take a picture until it was nearly gone.
3)We subbed in Au Jus Mushrooms for one of our sides, and they were SO GOOD.
4) We swapped halves of an American Dipper sandwich and a “The Jack” burger, and it was a tough call on which one’s flavors were more amazing.
To say this meal was divine is an understatement. What a blessing this was; and we are so thankful we were just tired enough that we chose not to go out for a “fancier” (meaning 2-3 x’s more expensive) meal."

"Good spot by hotels on the edge of town. Super friendly service and good food. Good selection at bar for beer. Cry bay hot wings were very tasty, Rex draft beer also hit the spot. Cant remember name of our cute waitresses buy she was so nice and took good care of us. A+"
