The Turntable Restaurant

The Turntable Restaurant, located in historic Minturn, Colorado, captures the characteristics and ambiance of the old railroad town that was established in 1904. In 1962, Vail ski resort was developed just a few miles East of Minturn. In 1982, Beaver Creek ski resort was developed just a few miles to the West. The Town of Minturn, very unique and i... ndividualistic in it's own right, is a quiet town that offers locals and visitors alike a nice place to escape the limelight of the ski resorts.

Our restaurant namesake, the 'Turntable' is an old railroad reference to the piece of track that turns rail cars 180 degrees to go back the direction from which they came. As you can imagine, there aren't many Turntables along the rail lines. However, one of them was positioned right where the restaurant now stands. Since it's such a unique part of railroad history, it's fitting to name the restaurant in it's honor.Read More
