About the restaurant

The Mishawaka Amphitheatre boasts a full-service restaurant open Thursday-Monday. Dine on our scenic deck while observing the big horn sheep on the canyon hillside, or opt for our indoor seating, which features expansive bay windows for the same river and wildlife vistas. Our spotlighted Craft Micro Brewery, Odell Brewery from Fort Collins, CO, partners with us to feature the exclusive Mishawaka Ale. In addition to this, we offer a comprehensive bar selection, including a variety of craft beers, wines, and spirits.

PLEASE NOTE that reserving an outdoor spot guarantees a table outside but does not guarantee a table by the riverside. We offer a 10-minute grace period for reservations. Your party will be seated only when all members are present, due to our hour and a half limit on table occupancy. Should inclement weather arise, we cannot guarantee outdoor seating at the time of your reservation.

Our establishment is cashless. Kindly ensure you bring a debit or credit card.

Austin's American Grill - Old Town

About the restaurant

Austin's American Grill is the quintessential taste of Colorado. With three great Fort Collin's locations-one in the heart of Old Town, another on Harmony Road and one in Greeley, 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 with honey 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. There's a reason Austin's is one of Northern Colorado's favorite destinations.

Great place for a good meal. Ambiance is amazing. Service was warm and friendly. Beets and Berries salad was very nice, Clam chowder was amazing. Muscles were....well, I'd skip those. This was our first time here and we'll be back many times in the future.
