Spencer's Steaks & Spirits

This place is not a steak house, it's more a Dennys that's going out of business, or maybe if there was a Dennys in a prison... 1st, our waitress was nice, but not engaged and we basically had to beg her to get our 9yr some carrots without paying for their ridiculously sad salad buffet. 2nd, we each got a strip, both under cooked, bland, sad,,,burnt on one side, pale on the other...It was just terrible. 3rd, I'm 99% positive they are using instant potatoes for their mashed potatoes. They contained more water than potatoes, the disgusting massive dollop of sour cream on top was thicker than the potatoes, and it tasted like water,,,,completely flavorless and wet,,YUK. I can confidently say this was the worst "non-fast food" restaurant experience I've ever had in Colorado. Don't go here....

No go. No go. No go. ~$50 for 16 oz Super salty steak. Nothing else. Overpriced. 140 for a very regular food.

This was my first visit to Spencer’s. It was on Thanksgiving Day 2024. We had reservations for a party of 4 at 5:45 pm. When we arrived there was line all the way down the stairs from the first floor. We believe that people without reservations were being seated before us, but that is just my opinion and I have no real information to back it up, except that it took about 45 minutes for us to be seated.

Once we were seated, a member of the wait staff greeted us, poured water, and asked us for our drink orders. We then went to the buffet line. There were no crab legs, as were advertised in their menu. The vegetable section, which consisted of green beans, carrots, Brussels sprouts, and baby potatoes, were cold. I wanted to try the Crab, Potato, and Corn Chowder but there were no bowls available. I then went to the line with prime rib, candied yams and sweet potatoes, dressing and turkey. I decided to try the turkey first. The pans of candied sweet potatoes and yams, and the dressing were almost empty, I had to scrape up scraps to get a little taste of each. The turkey was really good. I think it was the best turkey I had ever had. That did not make up for the lack of availability of the other foods, though. Our drinks were delivered to the table about 30 minutes after we ordered them.

When it was time for my second round, there was a fresh prime rib. I got a slice but upon tasting it, it tasted “off”, like it was spoiled before being cooked. I only had the one bite which I had to spit out. They had also replenished the sweet potato yam dish and the dressing. The dressing was good as was the Grand Mariner Cranberry Sauce.

Time for dessert. The dessert area had not been restocked so I had a choice of baked apple crisp or pumpkin pie instead of chocolate cake, chocolate lave cake, fudge brownies, pecan pie, croissant bread pudding, or cheesecake. From the table where I was seated, I watched as three children waited VERY patiently for the fudge brownies cakes to be restocked for over 30 minutes. One of them asked a member of wait staff when they would bring more of the “little round chocolate cakes” and were ignored. The grandmother in me finally took action on behalf of those children, who I did not know. I found a member of the staff and told them that the children had been very patient waiting for the dessert bar to be restocked but it had been over half an hour. I told them they needed to find whoever was responsible for stocking the desserts that they needed to do their job immediately! Five minutes later three people came out with trays of desserts and the children finally got their little round chocolate cakes.

I feel that everyone who had reservations for Thanksgiving dinner at Spencer’s Steak and Spirits in Breckenridge is owed at least half of their money back and a huge apology from management. This was the most mismanaged, poorly carried out Thanksgiving dinner I have ever attended, paid or not.

While what food I was able to actually eat was good, there was much missing from the menu that was published (especially the crab legs, the Crab Potato and Corn Chowder, pecan pie and chocolate cakes), and some of it was cold. At $78 per person, this was ridiculous. I don’t recommend making reservations here ever.

Good food, nice environment. Will pay Mountain town resort prices, but you are at a Mountain town resort so it makes sense. Will go again.

For the price, they should be able to prepare a steak properly. Out of season greens made for a very tough experience. Very bland, the entire meal was lacking salt or any flavor. Meat was dry. The staff is super friendly! The bartender was awesome and my drink was the best part of my dinner. But they need some serious help in the kitchen.

Fantastic food. We came here for our anniversary dinner with the hopes of a filling and well prepared steak dinner, needless to say, we were blown away. The food was cooked to perfection, seasoned well, and fairly reasonably priced. We spent about $200 for two with tip. Great selection of gluten free options. If you are in Breckenridge, you have to try this hidden gem!

Just don't. Just go into town. Charging aged USDA Prime prices for grocery store Choice beef which IMO was also injected with a liquid tenderizer. The burgers were $27 and were maybe worth half of that. Friendly staff, good service, but the food wasn't worth it at all.

The resort as a whole is seriously lacking good customer service. The waitress was difficult to understand and had to rely on others to answer questions about the menu and cocktail. My dish lacked a main ingredient and she pushed the blame to a new person in the kitchen, offered a side of it (it's supposed to blend in the dish that was now half gone), and then charged me full price. I expected a excellent customer service for the price point of the menu. This is just the restaurant, my check-in to the resort was a 2.5 hr disaster and carried over to the Skywalk Market. I won't be returning, unfortunately.

The bill was 3x the amount that it should have cost. It was overpriced because of the convenience of being in the resort. My steak I ordered medium, was served well done...the food and cocktails were good overall, just not what I expected.
