Delicious food and great service!
Had the braised short rib 100% recommend it
Make sure to save room for dessert they have a large selection so far I've tried the banana pudding cherry cheesecake and cookie ala mode each one the perfect end to the meal
Check them out if you haven't already! ever since my first visit I look forward to coming back

Decided I should write a review as I think we will become regulars here! Just had our first dinner but had lunch several other times.
Casual and homey spot where the food is guaranteed to meet expectations. Portions are all good sized.
Last night we met friends to celebrate a birthday. We started with wings and Brussels. Wings were so crispy and just the right amount of seasoning. We enjoyed the nightly special, mussels with linguine and zucchini ribbons with a delicious broth, and the menu standard meatloaf with mashed potato. Both meals were worth the price and along with the Cabernet on tap…we enjoyed ourselves!
Don’t miss the little shop. Homemade jams, hats and stuffed sheep! Great little gift options to choose from.
I am looking forward to many more meals.

This is a famous spot along 285 that everyone needs to go to at least once. Employees that are fun to talk to, great decor, and fantastic food and drink. Check them out for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Ok, you know when you're on a road trip and you pass all these kitschy, roadside cafes and restaurants and wonder whether or not you should stop and give it a shot because more often than not you will be greatly disappointed? Well this is DEFINITELY NOT one of those times!! We were in Littleton, Colorado visiting friends who also have a home in Crested Butte, and they have driven by The Shaggy Sheep for the past 9 years and never stopped in once. Fortunately, today was the day they ended that record! I can't begin to tell you how awesome it was! From the moment you walk in you can feel the love in the room and you get an immediate feeling of being "home". In fact, the first person to greet us is affectionately called "mom" by everyone. Now mom is pretty sassy, and really quick witted, and she also truly makes you feel like one of her own. I was so worried that I wasn't going to like the food because I wanted so badly to review them, and lucky for me, and you if you're ever in the area, it didn't disappoint! There were four of us and we all fell in love with The Shaggy Sheep. I had the Tequila lime chicken which was really moist and tasty, two of us had their Smoked brisket which they both said was delicious, and one of us had their Carnitos tacos, which also didn't disappoint! I also tried their green chili soup, which if you love a little heat, which I do, you should definitely try it!
As we were waiting for our food I took a little stroll around the storefront where they were selling various sweatshirts and t-shirts with their logo, and REALLY beautiful handed-knitted hats made by none other than mom herself! I was so bummed that I live in South Florida because I honestly wanted to buy one!
But what I DID buy, and I highly recommend you do as well, was some of their homemade preserves! I bought the blueberry, mixed berry, strawberry, and my absolute favorite, their mango jalapeño! In fact, we made a pork tenderloin that night and served that on top of it, and OMG was it amazing! So don't pass up this one in particular. It would even be great on a piece of cheese!
And speaking of "don't pass up", DEFINITELY leave room for one of their fruit filled pies or one of their scones, all of which were great! The pies are individual sized which at first I thought were empanadas, because that's what they looked like. We were pressed for time so I bought four pies and two scones to go, and I'm really glad I did! They were all REALLY delicious and they didn't skimp on the filling, but my favorite was the pumpkin. I just happen to love pumpkin, not inferring the others weren't equally as delicious. I also happen to love scones but I do find more often than not they are much drier than they should be. These were not. They had the perfect amount of moisture and their flavor, I chose peach, was so delicate and delicious! Hopefully I haven't ranted on too long, but if you're ever in the area and want really good, really hearty, homemade cooking and baked goods, served by a staff that is so warm and welcoming that you feel like family, DO NOT DO LIKE MY FRIENDS DID FOR NINE YEARS, be sure YOU stop at The Shaggy Sheep. And if you do, please give "mom" a hug from me!!! OMG, I ALMOST FORGOT TO MENTION THE FRENCH FRIES!!! I don't know what they do to their fries, well actually I do but I swore I wouldn't tell anyone, but their French fries are freaking AMAZING!! DEFINITELY order some for your side. But if you do you may as well order a side for the table otherwise you'll be lucky if you get to eat any of your own once one of your table mates tastes yours! Seriously, they are THAT good!!

It was good food, but it was not cheap and not enough food for the price.

Was excited to try this place after seeing the positive ratings and the busy parking lot. The atmosphere is lovely and it’s very cute inside, and the folks working there are very nice, although service was pretty slow, but they were busy so it’s understandable. The menu is extremely limited and I wish I knew that before going in. I thought the menu in front of us was just specials, but it was the whole menu. 3 sandwich options including a burger, 1 taco option, a salad or 2, and small plates/soup. I got a chicken sandwich, the piece of chicken was small and a rubbery texture that was unappetizing. My partner got the carnitas tacos which were carnitas (on the fattier side) with chopped onion and celery, but no salsas to accompany it. For $16 a plate, it was expensive for what you get. I would try it again for breakfast, and the dinners also look good, but the lunch was disappointing.

This place is a mess... 20min waiting only to buy an apple pie and coke to go. The restaurant was full and unstuffed. The lady selling things to go was also responsible for serving tables ..
