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.

Best brunch I had in Frisco…read more Butterhorn Bakery and Cafe is the highest-rated brunch spot in Frisco, and based on my experience, I'd agree with the hype. Of the couple of brunch spots I tried in town, this was my favorite. I ordered the Cornucopia with eggs over medium and substituted the home fries for fruit. The fruit was surprisingly good, strawberries, blueberries, and bananas with a light sprinkle of powdered sugar. A side of fruit can be pretty hit or miss when you substitute it at brunch, so I was pleasantly surprised. The eggs were cooked right, and the toast was fine. I opted for turkey bacon, though, and I'd recommend skipping it. It was pretty crispy and lacked much flavor. The standout was the cinnamon roll French toast. We ordered it to share with the table, and I highly recommend doing the same. It comes with two large cinnamon rolls that are soaked in egg batter and grilled French-toast style. It was top tier. I noticed several tables around us sharing the regular cinnamon roll as well, and those looked fantastic too. They also have a bakery counter inside with plenty of grab-and-go options. The pastries all looked great, along with fresh bread, cookies, and other sweet treats. If you're visiting Frisco and looking for brunch, Butterhorn is definitely worth a stop. And whatever you order, I'd make sure the cinnamon roll French toast makes it onto your table.

Everything was great. We had a family of 5 so we tried cinnamon roll French toast, biscuits and…read moregravy, Philly cheesesteak, and tomato bisque soup. I know sounds kind of random. But every person loved what they had. Plus outdoor patio to enjoy the mountain air. Adding myself to chorus of voices saying this place is amazing.

The manager stopped by to say hello and our drinks and orders all came out in timely manner. This was our second visit while in Frisco. My organic grass fed burger with chips were delicious. I could had salad or soup as other option. They also offered many choices for people opting out of meat options. Other fresh and healthy options too. Overall, it was good experience dining here as expected. Did notice they were charging 4% for competitive wage compensation. For 3 of us, one beer and one seltzer with tip/tax came out to $130. Gotta pay the price if you want wholesome well sourced ingredients. I will be back to try the mozzarella sticks apps and organic grass fed burger, again!

Would come here again and again!…read more Service and food and atmosphere were great. Our server was so kind and helpful and the food came quickly. Relaxing atmosphere and pretty restaurant. The food was fabulous. We loved everything we ordered and it was so flavorful and fresh. The salmon in particular was delish!
