This list features some of my favorite places in Loveland to get food. This man likes to eat! Trust me, I know all the good places around town.
Within walking distance, this is one of my favorite places to grab ice cream or cookies! The staff is always welcoming and friendly, and their prices aren't bad either.

I literally live off of Mexican food and this is hands down one of my favorite restaurants in town. It isn't within walking distance but worth the drive or Lyft/Uber.

This place is AMAZING! Within walking distance, they have a good variety of eats. Go in the morning for their breakfast burritos, or lunch for tacos or a burrito with your choice of filling. On Fridays, they make fresh tamales and always have fresh corn and flour tortillas for sale. AND you can't beat their prices

I've been to Henry's many times as it's my parent's favorite place to eat downtown. You can get a little bit of everything here and it never disappoints. Great place to grab a drink or a glass of wine too.

If you are after southern cajun cuisine, Betta Gumbo is a must! Indulge in a frozen beverage on their patio to cool down, or enjoy an evening dinner out complete with amazing food. My favorite appetizer and entree is their hush puppies and slap you mama loaf.

Viestenz-Smith has been around for many years, I used to go there as a kid with my family. It's a great place to stop on your way to or from Estes Park as it's located in the Big Thompson Canyon. Stop for a stroll, picnic/bbq, or to simply bask in the sheer beauty of the mountains.
