Riverwalk Theater

Riverwalk Theater sits in the small Vail Valley community of Edwards, Colorado, and reviewers consistently describe it as more restaurant than concession stand — several call it one of the best-kept food secrets in the valley. Alongside first-run movies, the kitchen turns out smoked brisket, tacos, and sandwiches, plus wine, beer, and tequila, with soft-serve ice cream and milkshakes for anyone who'd rather skip dinner and go straight to dessert. There's both an indoor and outdoor spot to eat before a show, which makes it a rare mountain-town theater worth visiting even without a movie in mind. Sound levels have occasionally run quieter than expected during a film, per a few reviewers. Tickets run around $12, with entrees, drinks, and classic concessions all available on-site.
