Vern's Place was started in 1946 by Willard and his brother Vern on a foundation of hard work and a commitment to good quality service. In 1976 Harvey and Dinah Kittel, along with their daughters, bought Vern’s Place and brought the restaurant into a new era, while preserving the World Famous Cinnamon Roll that is the very same today.
After a devastating fire in 1990, Val and her husband, Nick (Lanteri), partnered with the Kittels to rebuild Vern’s and continue the traditions that made Vern’s Place unique.
Fast forward to 2014 and the decision to remodel Vern’s Place. Along with a new look, a fantastic patio, and a new vision, Vern’s continues to produce the best Colorado homestyle food with a commitment to great service in a family-friendly atmosphere.
Everyone is welcome to “Step into our Home.”

Austin’s American Grill is the quintessential taste of Colorado. With two great Fort Collin’s locations—one in the heart of Old Town and another on Harmony Road, we’ll have you wondering why mom’s food never tasted so good and when you can come back for more. Savory roasts and chicken cooked over an open flame in our front-of-the-house rotisserie. All-natural buffalo seasoned to perfection. Cornbread baked in iron skillets and drizzled with honey and butter. Signature cocktails sweetened with fresh-squeezed fruit juice. Plus, our decadent desserts are made fresh daily, giving you an excuse to stop in for a slice that reminds you of home. So grab a friend and make plans to meet at the red umbrellas. There’s a reason Austin’s is one of Northern Colorado’s favorite destinations.

The Welsh Rabbit Cheese Bistro -- a place to start, finish, or linger!
We have always described ourselves as "one part Cheese Shop, and one part Cheese Bistro." Now The Cheese Bistro has taken on a life of its own, while still expressing our values of quality, simplicity, a slow pace, and friendship.
Come in and have a seat at one of our tables. Our friendly servers will bring you four menus:
PEASANT FARE MENU
Food once eaten by peasants, then elevated to expensive delicacies, now served to you in affordable bite-sized portions for your enjoyment.
THE CHEESE MENU
Read through our list of cheeses with their descriptions, and make note of the ones you want to add to your cheese plate. (Don't forget to consider the charcuteries, olives, demi baguettes, and chocolates.)
THE "SUSHI" MENU
As you decide which cheeses to add to your plate, mark the boxes next to your desired cheeses and charcuteries. (Each one counts as one serving, and each serving is plenty for two people to get a good taste of the cheese.)
THE WINE MENU
Our wine selections are compiled seasonally by sundry friends who love wine. You can order them by the flight so you can sample several wines, or by the bottle, glass, or half glass.
THE BEER MENU
With it being Ft. Collins, of course we have a choice of beers and ciders from several of our local breweries.
A short while after you've made your selections, your server will bring your choices to you, arranged on a slate. The server will talk you through your cheeses, making suggestions as how best to enjoy them.
