I had to stay in Dillon on a Sunday night for work and wanted something quick, easy and delicious. I ended up going with the Bison burger which ended up being a huge portion for the price and the seasonal chili beer that had a hint of pepper in it. Nothing to drive out of the way for but considering almost everything else in town is a chain, I was happy to have some local fare. read more

Ate here christmas eve .. Wings were outstanding!!!! I loved the onion soup. I also had the prime rib dip sand. Yummy! I will definately go back! read more

This is a great place to stop at either going or coming home from skiing. They have a great selection of homemade beers.

Good place across the street from a very good health food store.I had a buffalo burger rare with unhealthy cheese and I think bacon.Washed down with healthy and delicious IPA and Belgian style beer.Got a good t shirt with Vincent Van Gogh on it.Well OK so that's my idea of fun. read more

I'll be honest, the beer is fine, but the few I tried taste like every other beer from microbrews in Denver. I would recommend it for tourists coming in from areas without much beer selection, but Colorado natives will probably not be impressed. Anyway, the beer works--that's the most important part. My girlfriend ordered the hummus appetizer which actually sort of sucked, but for entrees my whole table ordered burgers and they were all perfectly cooked and tasted great. read more

First time here. Lunch was better than average and the atmosphere was nice. It felt like a local hangout.

This place is good, but not great. The beer is pretty good, and the food was okay. I think we would've enjoyed it more if we had sat at the bar, but we were in the dining room, and it just seemed more geared towards families and less to a couple out for a casual date night. I'd probably go back, but definitely insist on sitting in the bar. read more

We stopped on a Sunday for lunch. Excellent Huevos Rancheros special for brunch. Our two boys loved the burgers. Great tasty brews and bloodbath to compliment. Def recommend. read more

Great beer selection and solid dinner options. The chicken fried chicken was crispy and delicious - I'd definitely order it again. Also had the Field & Stream, I wasn't too fond of the risotto as it was a bit too "mushroom soup" flavored, and also felt the steak sauce was a bit too close to A1 (in other words, it overpowered the flavor of a perfectly good piece of meat)...but both the trout and bison steak were top notch. Washed it down with a spicy chili beer - an eclectic option and worth a try if you like that kind of thing. read more

Good stop for fueling on the way to Vail. Started with French onion soup and was pleasantly surprised! Good taste w/ right amount of salt and crispy Gruyere on top. Quinoa cakes were also very good - fresh! Crispy cakes topped with fresh mozzarella, sundries tomatoes and balsamic glaze. Rest of the meal was standard ... Onward to the mountains!! read more

Always love going here. Great beers and pretty dam good food. Service is also friendly. If there's a downside it's only that they're always packed. read more

Just finished a wonderful dinner at the Dillon Dam Brewery. They have a lengthy list of craft beers of which our friend liked the Here's Your Dam Beer IPA. Hubs ordered the Sessions IPA and wasn't crazy about it but then again he's not an IPA fan to start with. Dinner was very good. Hubs ordered the Ghostrider Bison burger subbing seafood chowder for fries. He raved over it all! He said the chowder was the best he'd ever eaten. Said it had a slightly smokey flavor. As far as the burger was concerned, he said it was MOAB - Mother of all burgers. This is a good thing because he rarely raves about his food. I too ordered a bison burger with smokey bacon and smoked Gouda cheese. I subbed beer cheese soup for fries. I was a bit surprised to find my soup had stuff in it - ham, broccoli, and roasted red peppers but it was very good! Burger was just slightly cooked past medium but still was very tasty. Our friend order the pork schnitzel dinner which came with Brussels sprouts and we are not certain but might have been barley with mushrooms. He said the pork was tasty but he could have used a sharper knife to cut it with. However, it was NOT tough to chew. He said it was just right. read more

Driving to Denver from telluride and yelped this place. Absolutely excellent find. Gorgeous atmosphere. Delicious food. Great beer.

Everything about this place is absolutely mediocre. It was a pretty big letdown considering how many locals recommended it to us. Beer wasn't anything spectacular and the food was definitely not worth coming back for. My advice: pass on the hype and try something else instead of being disappointed. read more

This is a solid place for a burger in Dillon. Service has always been fantastic and they turn tables over quickly. It's a popular place, especially on ski weekends, so expect a wait. I love the beer and frequently get a keg as they have the best prices in town on a micro brew keg. Plus you get a free keg after ordering 10. The decor is a little tired, but don't let that dissuade you from coming. read more

Frequented this place a few times since we bought a place in Keystone. Nothing fancy. Nice people working employees and customers that you chat with on the long wait nights. Sometimes you wait sometimes you don't. Even lucked out with takeout one night...off season. Portions are huge. But what makes me come back is the stupid cowboy dip. That stuff is addicting. Hits the spot with a cold beverage!! Not a fan of their soups as they are usually quite salty but everything else is on par with a mountain restaurant bar! read more

We stopped in for lunch on a Friday while in the area for a family weekend wedding. The greeting/ seating was confusing. We were asked by the "host" if we preferred indoor/outdoor seating. Asked if upstairs was ok - stated we preferred downstairs. We were not given a beeper/your table is ready devise. About 15 minutes into wait the host realized he had not given us the beeper & said we would be seated soon. A girl (hostess) just came up to me & said follow me upstairs. She had to wait on me as I cannot climb stairs rapidly (the reason we requested downstairs seating from the original "host"). Food was good. Customer Service... much to be desired.... read more

Overall this place is great....for years every time we were in Summit County this was our go to place....my sadness is that they changed the chips in their amazing nachos...every visit I got their wonderful nachos but then they changed the chips to a black bean something something???....I just wish you could have a choice of regular chips and still offer the other chips for those that need that....please please please bring back my fav meal in Summit County....every other dish that friends have ordered has been enjoyed by them...my sad moment over the nachos should not deter you from trying this place, you will def enjoy it read more

Delicious food with a vast and varied menu. Good service and felt welcomed from the moment we arrived. The smores bread pudding is excellent!! read more

Average food from what I had ordered, above average beer. My pallet for food is vast and optimistic. My pallet for beer is specific to lager. I ordered the spaghetti and meatballs with a DAM straight lager. read more

Had a great dinner after the game on Sunday. The service was great and fast. Waiter actually took the time to converse with us plus the food was delicious. Definitely a must stop while visiting summit country read more

Great overall, found this place on a road trip through CO, if I'm ever in Dillon again, will make an effort to stop again.

Great dinner choice after four days of snowboarding. This place has a decent beer selection. We arrived at 5 something on a Tuesday night just in time to enjoy the happy hour beer prices. We started with the Dam Poutine with the choice of the Stout stew as the topping. Sounds a little weird but it was delicious. We devoured it. For dinner, being that I was visiting Colorado, I knew I wanted to have Bison before leaving. I chose the Brown Bison Tips. I was sold when the description said it would be served with a mushroom risotto. Underneath, the menu provided two beer selections for pairing. I'm not a beer drinker but went for one to celebrate our successful snowboarding trip. I chose the Sweet George's Brown. It was creamy as described and I enjoyed the chocolate note. When my dinner arrived, it was delicious. The best dinner at the table. Get the Bison Tips. No complaints with service. I recommend you come here. read more

See all

Delish chicken sandwich that we swapped instead of a burger. Great fast and friendly service

The service is fine. The kids menu is fine. The beer is an acquired taste. The rest of the food is less than edible. There is something disgustingly sweet on the jalapeno burger. The chicken fried chicken was so bad it made a member of our party horribly I'll. Stick with the Cisco foods out of the freezer and you might be fine. read more

Dillon Dam Brewery - American Near Me - Dillon, Colorado

Dam burger and chicken fried chicken were excellent. They were busy but we received our food quickly. The pretzel bites were just the right amount of chewy and salty too. Yum! read more

a must go place if you're in or around dillon. dam wings = yummy. dam burger = yummy. pulled pork sandwich = yummy. everything we had here was super fresh, and taste great. service was great too. def. dont leave hungry. read more

Great stout, friendly service, all around good time was had by all. The French Onion soup was pretty good, and for some reason, most restaurants are incapable of doing it well. read more

Had a good experience. Went on a Friday afternoon and was promptly seated, wait staff was very pleasant. Irish stout and Lager were both agreeable to my tastes. Onion soup was good and cheesy, would have liked more actual onions in it. Dam burger was good, thick bacon and cooked just the way I liked. Will return again. read more

Been a couple times now and have really enjoyed it! Great beer, killer food. Get the buffalo chili.

We visited this place based on the yelp reviews and I'm so glad we tried it. We came here on our first night in Colorado. We didn't know what to expect food wise being it was a brewery. We were quite surprise how good the food was. We were seated within 15 minutes. The place was packed and we realize now why. We hung out upstairs on the loft area where you get a glimpse and history of the brewery. I ordered the Pan-Asian salmon. It was nice and fresh. The thai peanut sauce completed it. I also ordered the coconut margarita. Most margaritas I order are usually to strong for my liking. This on the other hand was just right. The service was excellent and staff were all friendly. I highly recommend this place! read more

Decent place. We stopped in on our way to Grand Junction to grab a bit and a beer. The food portions were HUGE, the beer was good as beer usually is. The food was ok, nothing particularly special. Overall, it was a satisfactory experience but nothing outstanding. You won't be let down, but you won't be impressed either. read more

Here's the thing about the Dam Brewery: the more I compare it to other places, the more they come up short. It's by far the best beer in Summit County, and there's good food. I come here more for the beer than anything, especially the ESB and the stout when it is in tap. read more

Took wife and kids here for dinner after a day of skiing. The jalepeno salmon was fantastic. Wife had the quesadilla was HUGE. Kids had the burger and corn dog. Our waiter was Deshawn and did GREAT job of taking care of us. handled the kids very well and provided excellent service. If you are looking for great atmosphere lots of tvs, pool tables, and excellent food, I would highly recommend the Dam. read more

Macho nachos are huge!!!!! Really big youu need 4 people to eat it. Pretty good food.

Fun vibe and energy. Had 4-sample flight... loved the beers. Can go all the way up to sampling 8 beers. The menu was solid. I tried the onion soup and the trout, which were delicious. Great location on the dam, although it was 85 during the day it was cool enough at night to open the doors. My only knocks on the place are the lack of fish options on the menu and I didn't have a chance to try Pug Ryan's, hence no comparator. The waitress informed me that although all the local brews were listed on the menu, they were out. I have to assume that's going to happen with small batch breweries. read more

The wife and I stopped in on a Wednesday early afternoon for a late lunch. We had eaten here a couple of years ago, on the patio, and liked it. Dispite the large crowd we were seated quickly and the waitstaff was attentive. Of course the first order was for a beer. It was great. Wife had a chicken fried steak and I had the pulled pork plate. Both excellent and plentiful. Next time in Dillion we will be stopping there. I have to have another irish stout, just wonderful! read more

I was worried because it looked new and too commercial, but my fears were calmed quickly. Excellent beer for openers...I had the whiskey barrel aged stout and I was delighted. I also had ribs which were fall-off-the-bone tender and still juicy...not always a combo. Everyone in our group enjoyed their meal. It was very crowded but we were seated quickly. read more

Good stuff had the prime rib with a delicious brew

Great service. Decent food. I had the beef medallions which were good. The mashed potatoes were so so. My wife had the pasta piccola with Shrimp and she liked it a lot. Their homemade dressing was tasty. Great atmosphere, decent prices. The food just left me feeling eh. read more
