Tour It With Me
Eaton, From Someone Who Actually Goes There
7 places in and around Eaton I actually go to.
Where I eat, where I take clients, and what I would tell a friend who was moving here.
Where To Eat
Dragon Inn
Generous portions, koi fish and fountains inside, in a farm town of 5,000. My review of this place is the second most-read thing I've written, and it earned it.
Family-run, twenty-plus pastas, and a square pizza the regulars keep coming back for — in a farm town of about 5,000 people. It has no business being this good.
A small-town nine with McCarty's inside it. If you're moving to Weld County and wondering what people actually do here, it's this — and you'd never find it on your own.
Where To Eat
Route 85 Grill
Eaton's newer grill, right on the highway through town. Part of why a 5,000-person farm town is worth a second look rather than a drive-through.
Downtown
Eaton Recreation Center
The rec center Eaton families actually use. In a town of 5,000, this is the answer to "what do the kids do here".
Where To Eat
A&W Restaurant
Whenever I have out-of-town clients interested in the charming properties Eaton has to offer, I always bring them to A&W for a taste of local flavor. It's undoubtedly one of the best casual dining spots in town, where we can discuss homes for sale over root beer floats and classic American burgers.
Where I take out-of-town buyers to talk about Eaton over a root beer float. I hand out coupons for the floats, so ask.
There's nothing like discussing the potential of Eaton's housing market over some of the best barbeque in town at Smokin Bros Barbeque. I often recommend Smokin Bros to those new to the area or anyone considering a move — it embodies the warm, welcoming community vibe that Eaton is known for.
Family-owned southern barbecue with Kansas City roots, going since 2017. It's where I take Eaton clients when we want to talk about the market without sitting in a conference room.
