About Eagle BBQ

Eagle BBQ at Copper Mountain is a highly recommended spot for delicious barbecue and a relaxed mountain vibe. Located at the bottom of the American Eagle chair lift, it offers a surprising and enjoyable dining experience right after skiing or snowboarding. The aroma of smoke welcomes guests as they walk in, setting the tone for flavorful food. The menu features hearty options like brisket, ribs, and smoked meats, often served with sides such as mac & cheese or fish and chips. The brisket and burnt ends are especially praised for their perfect bark, moistness, and flavor, making them stand out even at elevation and in winter conditions. Customers can enjoy their meals on metal trays, with the option to skip bread if preferred, as the barbecue is proper and naturally comes with bread.
