About
Merry Go Round, an American restaurant, offers a clean and tastefully decorated atmosphere. It was not crowded during our visit on a snowy low visibility Monday. Some of our group purchased lunch while others brought their own. The staff seemed indifferent except for one person who briefly glanced at a diner eating a sandwich before continuing to the adjacent table to clear it. This establishment boasts a wide range of food options and operates efficiently in their service delivery.
Why you should go
- Enjoying a meal or drink with great views atop Aspen Snowmass mountain
- Efficient service with a good selection of food options
- Lively atmosphere with classic rock music playing

Great spot for a meal & a beer
Good place to eat. Burger and protein bowls are great. Can't go wrong stoping here
Love skiing Highlands, but the food at Merry Go Round is consistently both the slowest and the worst tasting out of all the Aspen Snowmass lodges. Even the simplest items were borderline inedible upon a recent visit: chicken tenders, sweet potato fries, and pizza were all easily the worst version of each I've had in over a year. If you are gonna charge Aspen prices, at least make it halfway decent. I hope they consider revamping the food program for next season.

I built my own salad and it was tasty but $17.50! The atmosphere is loud as it’s a busy place but the music was great while I was there, mostly classic rock.
Reviewing solely for atmosphere. Clean, nice decor, not crowded when we were there on a snowy low viz Monday. Half the group bought lunch there and the other half brought lunch. I was one of the folks that brought lunch. None of the staff seemed to mind except for one person who walked past, stared a bit at me eating my sandwich, and then continued on to the table next to ours to buss it.
