I would compare this location to being at a campground where you either bring your food along or you would have to drive into a town nearby. Yes, Redstone is only a few miles but only has an extremely small country store and a one restaurant but that's it. Carbondale has grocery stores and wonderful restaurants,fast food and it's about 8 miles away.
The closest is in the town of Carbondale. You can also try the restaurant at Redstone Inn.
There's also a decent barbeque joint up in Marble, a little farther down the road from Redstone. There's a gorgeous lake in Marble and gorgeous views of the mountain as well.
