I've stopped by this spot a few different times and everything I've ever had has been delicious here. The first few times I ate the burgers and wings. This time around I tried out the roasted pepper smoked gouda bisque, fried chicken sandwich, & grilled artichoke flatbread (mixed herb pesto, marinated grilled artichokes, roasted tomatoes, feta, mozzarella, and pickled red onions). Everything is remarkable, specially after a long day of burning calories by snowboarding or skiing.

Spicy bloody mary

A really great place for bloodies, beers and apps while skiing at copper! The spicy bloody was sooo good, had lots of accoutrements and was only $8! The beers were pretty cheap as well as a huge basket of French fries. I highly recommend for some apres. The wait really wasn't too bad either - we just did to-go and sat on the ledge outside the restaurant.

Kids and dogs welcome (individual skiers, not so much, maybe ...)

I've been skiing at Copper Mountain (my favorite ski area) for 40 years. Last week I went (as I often have in the past year or so) to Downhill Dukes -- an entirely outdoor restaurant. Having had another long, cold session on the mountain, and seeing all the seats by the fire were open, I asked to be seated by the fire pit, so as to warm my hands and comfortably relax for a bit of lunch. But ... I was told by the host that "Oh, by policy I'm not allowed to seat singles by the fire. You'd have to be with someone." Now, I typically order at least one drink, and food, and have often introduced my friends to the restaurant, which offers really nice, inventive cocktails, good local beers, and flavorful upscale ski hill grill food options. I pay my share, equal to any other. I was, frankly, surprised and more than a little annoyed by this shabby treatment. Apparently the dogs are welcome, but I'm not. A foolish policy? Yes, and worse - counter-productive. Because shortly thereafter, the host seated a group of 3 by the fire - leaving an EMPTY 4th fireside chair. Meanwhile, I was seated at a 2-top, which therefore left a second EMPTY chair at my table. So: Two seats that could have had paying customers seated in them during a busy period, but now would not, because of a misguided policy. Similarly, as I overheard the host turn away yet another single skier asking to be seated by the fire, I saw there were but two people at the other fire pit, and TWO empty chairs. THAT potential customer opted to leave the restaurant. So, how counterproductive is that? Still feeling chilled, I went over to ask the group of 3 if they'd mind me taking the spare chair on the other side of the fire, across from them; they cheerily replied, 'Of course! It's not OURS!' and laughed out loud, incredulously, at the very notion when I explained I'd been told I could not be seated there. We had a nice, convivial conversation ... The fire pit areas are, quite naturally, viewed as communal seating. It's only the table-centered 2-tops, 4-tops, and 6-tops, that are presumed to be the province of coherent pairs or groups sharing an actual table together, NOT the individual seats clustered before the two fire pits. Just as one does on a chairlift, we all sit together, we all chat together, and everyone is contentedly comfortable. I have decided that, if ever I am faced with this rejection in the future, I will do as the other rejected patron did, and no longer frequent Downhill Dukes at all, at ANY time. Instead, I'll heigh myself off to any of the many other fine establishments on the mountain, being sure to take any guests with me. I'd encourage Downhill Duke's to re-think the efficacy of their current policy. At present, that policy sends the message, "Since you happen to be skiing by yourself, you're not welcome here, and don't rate a seat by the fire even if you ask for it." A far better approach when an individual asks to be seated in an empty, available seat by the fire would be, "Yes, of course! And by the way, fire pit seating is communal, so others may join you if the other fireside seats are open." Better to be inclusive, NOT offensively exclusive. Were it so, this would be a 5-star rating.

My husband and I drove through Frisco a week ago, but were there before all the restaurants opened…read more It's such a cute town so we just walked around for a bit. But- we were driving back through today and I remembered a Mexican restaurant in Frisco, so we stopped in for lunch- great decision! They have some tables outside, but we chose inside seating. We sat down and a server brought over water, chips and 2 different salsas that were very tasty. I ordered a medium size skinny margarita- and it was huge- but also really good and tart- just the way I like them! I ordered a chicken dish and my husband ordered a pork dish- hindsight- we should have split one meal because they were huge!!! Very fresh and delicious, but we couldn't finish them. All of the servers we interacted with were so nice, friendly and very helpful! Everything we ate was very good and it was a fun experience!

My husband had the chicken quesadillas which he loved and they happened to be on happy hour so it was a great price. Our friends had the taco salad ( it was huge) and the chicken soup, also amazing. We ended with the flan which was big enough for four. The staff very really friendly. Everything was delicious. We can't recommend it enough. It's a very simple place but very clean and right on the main street of Frisco.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience at Tocko on Frisco was disappointing from start…read moreto finish. The moment we walked in (we were the only people in the restaurant) the staff who looked more annoyed than welcoming. The food was the biggest letdown. Everything tasted bland and rushed, like it had been sitting out too long. Ever experience soggy nachos? Well, this is the place for you. The chicken wings, that apparently are not only deep fried are also baked (as I was told by the server) take about 50 minutes to come out. Steak quesadillas were lukewarm, and frankly all of the food was simply meh. Ever seen brown guacamole? You can see it here. Service was equally frustrating. It took forever just to get someone's attention, and when I did, the attitude felt dismissive, almost like I was inconveniencing them just by asking for basics like water refills. "Can't you see we are short staffed" - buddy, I have worked and owned places that are short staffed but have to ask for water 4 times, hanging another table do the same .... I can go on and on. Frankly, so many better options around that are so much better, also short staffed but friendly and at least make an effort to be friendly. Hope your experience here is better if you are brave enough to waste two hours for crappy food and incredibly sub par service.

Had a burrito and street tacos. Both were very good. No complaints…read more Sat upstairs for a Sunday lunch and the music was a bit too loud, but that area is considered a bar/restaurant.

Walked into here on a Tuesday night, it wasn't packed at all but we didn't have a reservation. The…read moreonly thing they had was a high top at the "sushi bar". The sushi bar wasn't really lively, they block the view overall so you don't get a "sushi bar" experience from the chefs. Our waiter seemed flustered because he was understaffed but we put our orders in for drinks and tried to make the best of it. I ordered a mocktail and it was so sour you couldn't drink it. So I asked for a different drink. When we got our miso soup it was so salty that none of us at our table couldn't finish it. The "bread" for the table isn't impressive and they decided to plate our entire groups order on a skateboard? Which had paint chipping off of it? (Food grade? Probably not) Like a lot of other reviews it's confusing here. The sushi....the sushi was warm. My cuts of fish on my nigiri's that were raw were warm. The monster spider roll was rolled so bad that the nori sheet was hard to chew. As the night went on tables weren't used, and we could have sat at a table with the turn around times we saw. Overall, for the price they charge it's not worth it. Go into downtown Breckenridge if you're looking for sushi because this isn't it.

Really underwhelmed here. Best note is that they are open…read moretill 10 and service was fast... or more like rushed. I got the Short rib which at $38 was SO NOT WORTH IT. As far as I could tell it was an incredibly dry piece of chuck swimming in salty thick meatloaf gravy. It was edible, but only because I was hungry and knew what it cost... you needed water to get the meat down. Asparagus was good. I started with a specialty roll, the Hot Hippie w/salmon. $20 (12 plain. 8 for the fish). Good but not $20 good. I guess I'm used to specialty roles being oversized, which this was not. Also got the Iwai old fashioned. Tasted like a glass full of crushed ice with whiskey. Could barely tell it was an old fashioned. So, my meal was $80 before tip, nothing was great, I'd try somewhere else or maybe just different options. The front bar seemed lively and fun. Maybe that's the better call with an attentive bartender and conversation.
