Yampa River Icehouse

We got the royal treatment with the Eagle's game in view! Loved the smoked chicken salad. As always

The Brisket Chili was phenomenal! Brisket & Pork shoulders were flavorful & tender. Great atmosphere & service.

We enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere with outdoor seating by the river. The food was perfect. Well prepared and very nice serving sizes. Service was quick and friendly. We'll go back again when we return to Steamboat Springs.

Authentic Texas BBQ. I was beyond pleased with the quality of food, atmosphere and service! As a Texan, it was great to enjoy the day with my family. Live Music

Benny the bartender. Is the quickest kindest bartender thats ever existed. We should all strive to compose ourselves the way he does while crafting delicious cocktails behind a bar.

Ayla, an angel that hit every branch on the pretty tree on the way down, was my server. I cant tell if she was more gorgeous than she was a hard working… The world may never know…..

And last but not least. Syd. A smile, and the comfort of a weighted blanket, lies behind a determined face, and broad shoulders. He is a protector and focused. Warmth lies within.

How a restaurant has found these beautiful souls to care for not only a restaurant but all people. Is beyond my comprehension.

Do yourself a favor and come visit this beautiful establishment. If youre lucky, you just might be blessed enough to meet one of them.

Ask for Kyle! We had the best experience here! Our group of 15 (including 9 kids!) came in for dinner, and from the moment we walked in, everything was amazing. Our server, Kyle, was an absolute rockstar—so kind, patient, and incredibly attentive. She handled our big, loud group with total grace and made everyone feel welcome and taken care of.

The food? Incredible. The BBQ was packed with flavor, perfectly cooked, and beautifully served. The drinks were on point too—great selection and perfectly mixed.

If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and go—and if you can, ask for Kyle. She made the whole night extra special. Can’t wait to come back!

We ate there on an early Friday evening. The atmosphere outside is nice and that’s pretty much what you are paying for. They had a guy playing guitar and singing and we enjoyed him, he was great. The food is average and the prices are very high for what you get. I don’t mind paying a lot for food that is really good, but this wasn’t really good. Chips and guacamole were probably the best part and the baked beans side was good. The brisket was dry, and the pulled pork sandwich was good but not $20 good. Be prepared for the tip that starts at 20, 22 and 25. I don’t mind tipping 20 or 22% for excellent service but I don’t get expecting it to start there. I guess because it’s a tourist town and they want their servers treated well, but running away customers is the cost of that. I tipped 20% and got a smirk from the waitress who did not say another word to us after that. Won’t got back here again.

The food was pretty good, enjoyed the happy hour specials. The wait staff is great as is the location. Great meal by the river!

Best brisket in town easily. Right on the river, live music with caliber musicians. Good drinks, even better decision!

We had a great dinner with friends. We always have great food there and wanted to share that same experience with our friends. They loved the food and the atmosphere. We will be back. The food and the staff was great.

Good food and enjoy sitting on the patio in the lovely weather! Our family eats here every summer.

Beautiful setting on Yampa River. Nice vibes, good live music, quick service. Best BBQ outside of Denver.
