“Quaint atmosphere and perhaps the best meal I have ever eaten, start to finish.“

“Farm to table food. Great service & servers. kitchen staff are spot on.“

“We were so happy with the service, atmosphere, and especially the food! Very very good. Highly recommend. 👏😁“

“I love this place. Would be there everyday if budget allowed. The food, the people who work there. It’s just an amazingly friendly wonderful place. I recommend it to those around me whenever I fly back into Hayden. I always feel like I’m coming home for a meal. The muffins are amazing too. I always get a couple to bring home and have with a late night cup of tea.“

“Great menu! Cassidy Wollenburg is the best 😉“

“This place is absolutely amazing! Great food, AWESOME employees and outstanding music. Whether you going for some good food as lunch or going for a night or to a concert this place Rules“

“Absolutely delicious. Impeccable service“

“Amazing dinner experience. Ordered a 45 day dry aged bone in ribeye with a table side carving by the owner, chef. The beef is cooked to rare then held in a smoke dome with bourbon barrel chips that add a very unique flavor. The bourbon selection is insane 😲 and at reasonable prices.“

“The Three Cheese Lasagna really hit the spot after a quick night skin up the mountain. Nice job Ben and crew!!!“

“Exceeded all expectations! Great service from Aly, a free ride up the gondola and stunning views from our table. We started with steak tartare, delicious! Next the ribs, maybe a little dry... Burrata and tomato salad was tasty and creative. Duck was cooked perfectly with great sides and sauce. Portions are on the smaller side, but I value taste over quantity. As a diner with anaphylaxis to tree nuts, I appreciated Aly's careful attention and follow up with my allergy - sadly, this is not the norm. Live jazz music was a great addition. Highly recommend.“

“Celebrated my husband 60th. Food, service and atmosphere were amazing. Special thanks to our waiter Casie, he made food presentation into real show. Will come again, if we are here.“

“One of the best meals I’ve had in a while and for a great price! Dalton was our server and he really knew his stuff, kept us happy the whole time, and had great recommendations. I will most definitely will be back for more bruschetta and ribs.“

“The Egg is great place, food was delicious and quick! The service was amazing!“

“Awesome place to hang with your dog on the mountain“

“Spent all our time at this lodge. Went to the umbrella bar outside which has great views of the mountain. Inside at the outpost bars the drinks are delicious. Order the pretzel or the chicken fingers as snacks. Tasty after a long day of skiing. This place and the other lodges are always packed so be prepared to scout for seating. The inside bar is on the third level.“

“Amazing all around. Great service, staff and atmosphere!“

“Perfect little lodge on the mountain to stop for a break or a meal. There are plenty of menu options. The pot pie and chili are both awesome options to warm you up on a cold day. There’s a big fireplace you can sit in front of, as well as a bar to warm you up from the inside out. I only wish they had better options for snack bars. The Stinger protein bars are the only option and they’re awful, chalky, first generation protein bars.“

“the best restaurant in Steamboat. local food..Elk, Quail, etc Best wait staff, chef and bartenders. Not to be missed“

“The appetizers and dinners were excellent. Desserts were a disappointment: one was mostly whip cream and another had too much marshmallow, not what we were expecting based on the menu. Our waitress was probably new; she hovered initially and knew nothing about the wines nor offered anyone who did. Later, she ignored us for several extended periods (30+ minutes each time, until we requested her assistance) when we needed her attention although we had a restless toddler with us. She needed significant guidance. I've been at this restaurant before and had a much better experience, this most recent one was very mixed and rather disappointing. I did appreciate that there was no loud music making conversation difficult.“

“great place very good food . it has a nice outdoor space.“

“We love having the Apres Burger Bistro Food Truck parked at our food truck court down on Yampa Street in Steamboat! Reliable, delicious, and one of the best burger food trucks in the community!“

“My veggie sandwich was dope!!!“

“I've read the reviews before heading to the Cabin for dinner. I had been aware of the service issues but took my chances and besides I had a Steamboat gift card I need to spend, so we went. The place was 3/4 empty and it felt like we came way ahead of our time but it was 7pm. That didn't bother us. The place looked like been built 20 plus years ago and resonates a mix feel of a fine restaurant to a diner, couldn't make up my mind. Now to the service- the waitress came by as soon as we were seated, but all she said with a heavy foreign, yet comprehensible accent, that she would be right back with us. She did come back in literally a minute and asked what we wanted but we didn't have time to decide. When I asked for a Campari as a drink she didn't even know what it was and after checking with someone came back with various options snap shot on her phone, none of which were my drink. I just went to the bar and they sure did have it. We had a few other awkward moments with our waitress where she would be asking us every time she would pass by our table “is everything ok?”- that sounded like we were in trouble or were worrying about something. But I knew it was just the language issue. The food was good but the risotto in the Arctic Char and pasta in the Beef Raghu seemed undercooked.“

“We are long time locals in for the first time. The food was great and a fair price for our resort town. Tiffany was fantastic as a server. Didn't have to ask for a thing and wasn't over attentive either. The music was a draw! Katie and Ben were fantastic. Not too loud or obtrusive. Great sound, great songs. For a summer evening, it wasn't crowded. We enjoyed our evening and have plans to do this again!“

“The food that JJ creates is incredible! He is so talented and can cater to ANY dietary restrictions in the most DELICIOUS manner. He spent 3 days catering an event for a myself a group of friends and his meals MADE the trip! Thnx JJ for a culiary experience!“

“Huevos rancheros spicey- excellent. Great/quick service👍🤓“

“fantastic service and delicious food!“

“This place is amazing! It is a grocery store, bar and pizza joint all in one. A local gem. Probably our favorite spot while visiting Steamboat. The pizza was delicious and you can have a beer while you wait. Would highly recommend visiting.“

“Actually decent place to eat. I felt food was fresh and very good. Pizza is a solid choice. Wings were good as well (had the Asian). Asian salad couldn’t have been fresher. Maybe a little more expensive than it should, but for a restaurant at a resort it’s very reasonable. Would definitely come again“

“We had lunch today at this restaurant as a well-deserved treat after a morning of exhilarating skiing. And “treat” is the right word. The food was absolutely delicious; beautifully presented; clearly made from the finest ingredients. You MUST make a reservation!!! This is a 10/10 restaurant and all in my Family agree!!!“

“This holiday inn is right at the base of the mountain and can’t beat the location or views. We’ve brought our boys up for five years straight over Memorial Day solely for their indoor/outdoor pool. It is an older location and needing some renovations but they are trying to keep up with it and any complaints you might have the staff are quick to your needs, friendly and go the extra mile every time we’ve had the pleasure of visiting. Great for any family on a budget. The restaurant on site has great food and service as well and we had the pleasure of seeing a baby moose on our last visit!“

“Food options were good. If you arrive later, like us, the salmon was dry. The ribs and chicken were good. But couldn't find any medium rare beef. Still tasty though. Sides were good and dessert bar. Staff very friendly and music was great background. Not seated near window so no view of city at night. Went outside and got great views.“

“This is MY favorite place to eat in Steamboat. We have been coming for years! The pickle fries are the BEST fried pickles ever! I always get amazing service, all the staff is extremely friendly! It’s one of the homiest places to eat at! They have great views as well! The food is so good!“

“What a delightful little spot right off the mountain. The atmosphere was classy yet comfortable. We sat on the patio for some ice cold drinks and delicious appetizers. The wings and tacos were excellent and the tots were to die for.
Millie was a fantastic attentive bartender, making us feel not just welcomed, but right at home. The manager, Megan came out to chat and check to make sure we were doing well and even offered to take photos of our group. I highly recommend stopping here next time
you're in Steamboat.“
