    A truly gastronomic experience in the mountains! As part of the Devil's Thumb Resort (for cross-country skiing), the Ranch House is such a beautiful place with top notch service and food. We came here before the pandemic. We wish them all the best with their projected May re-opening after the crisis. Do give their local wagyu beef a try (sourced from the ranch itself). I loved their daily soup special: miso soup base with mushroom and all the goodies!

    Free birthday dessert, multi layered cake!

    Stayed at Devils Thumb ranch in a delightful log cabin and ate here for dinner. Food was overpriced but the surroundings were gorgeous and the service was over the top. Try the carrot bisque, so yummy!

    a view of the mountains

    Last night we enjoyed a wonderful experience at The Ranch House at Devil's Thumb outside of Tabernash. I can't say enough about the food (melt in your mouth Wagyu short ribs and cooked to perfection NY Strip), the ambiance, and the spectacular mountain views from our table. However, the best part of the evening was the treatment we received from the staff who seemed to go out of their way to see that we were totally taken care of. Bartender Austin (from our long ago hometown in Michigan) made a special trip over to Heck's Tavern to get my wife's favorite drink. Our server, Jeff, made the evening complete with his gracious presence and helpful suggestions. As now long time "locals", we would like to thank Devil's Thumb for making their resort at least partially available to non-overnight guests and hope it will fully open soon so we can resume our favorite lunch spot at Heck's Tavern.

    Excellent place! Service was phenomenal, food was great and the ambiance of the homestead was perfect for the venue. The chef made a vegetarian pre-dinner taste for me after the candied bacon one came out first. We had 2 entrees, no drinks or dessert and our bill was $140 after tip.

    Visited for my wife's birthday with my in-laws. We started with the Dungeness Crab & Avocado and the Butter Poached Pacific Oysters. The crab was tangy with its turmeric aioli and the Oysters were creamy- both delicious. Our main courses were fantastic! My Great Range Bison Short Rib was tender and her Filet Mignon simply melted. My in-laws had similarly great reviews of their trout and elk loin. We each had drinks, and shared one dessert which, with tip, brought the bill to $385.

    The tastiest amuse bouche!

Good spot to watch sports games too, they have a lot of TVs around. Ordered the double ditch burger with onion rings, and a house marg. The burger was awesome. Definitely messy and was falling apart by the last few bites, but well worth it. The green chiles were a nice touch for some flavor and heat but not overpowering. Definitely filling and the move after a long ski day. The onion rings were good too - nice and crisp. The marg was strong and a fair price. Overall had a great experience here and would recommend and return.

He acted like he hated tourist, which I am sorry but probably your money maker. The second time we arrived and saw it was him, I was like oh great. he started off snarky but as we ordered more food and drinks and relaxed and actually because really nice to us by the time we left. If the weather is nice enough I suggest sitting on the patio. They have a gorgeous view and plenty of seating. We tried the Juantons and they are served with their spicy green chile. It was too spicy for me so we got a side of queso and it was perfect for dipping in. I would get these again. The margs are good here too. Pretty strong.

    Excellent BBQ, sauces, sides AND margaritas!…read more We're here in WP for three weeks. This is our second visit to The Smokehouse in the last 10 days. The first time we were disappointed upon arrival when they were out of burnt ends. We're from KCMO and we judge a town's BBQ by their burnt ends. Nonetheless, the brisket, sauces and sides were enough to warrant a second visit. Oh, and that house margarita...chef's kiss! Just what a tired ass mom needs after a long day of "hey moms." On the second visit, I went early at 4PM and ordered carryout. AND a margarita while I waited! The margarita is simple, the perfect size and made with all fresh ingredients. It rivals more notable ones around town. This time, they had ALL the burnt ends and boy, were they worth the wait! I got a one meat platter with burnt ends, collards and Mac n cheese. My husband got a two meat platter with burnt ends, brisket, beans and slaw. We got KC and Texas sauces (they have 5 or 6 to choose from, all inspired by different BBQ regions in the US). Both platters came with cornbread which is the only thing that needs some work IMHO. It's small, dry and not worthy of the calories. But EVERYTHING else was soooo good! Fatty, juicy, flavorful meats. Balanced sauces. And delicious sides! The Mac, collards and beans get an A+, the slaw is a solid B. Service was great on both visits. Friendly, efficient and fast! One thing to note is they have an adorable patio. I've not eaten out there yet but it's well maintained with lots of flowers and good coverage from the sun. Might have to check it out on our third visit!

    The selection doesn't disappoint here. Great choices of sandwiches and soups and they change daily…read moreon the soups. Quick somewhat friendly service gets you warmed up and full in no time. What kept me from giving it five stars: This place is small. If you come with more than a few people good luck finding anywhere to sit. The soup was lukewarm. It was 22 degree and snowing on the side of a mountain, we need HOT soup! My advice to get to five stars: bump up the heat on those soups and serve some cornbread with the soup. The crackers were fine but we didn't even think about eating the slider buns you offered.

    This is the only restaurant I've ever encountered with soup almost as good as my mother's…read morecreations. There are three different soups of the day. I've found that at least one of these will be g/f and/or vegetarian. Every soup I've tasted has been so satisfying. They also offer sandwiches and THEY HAVE GLUTEN FREE BREAD! One morning we stopped in for breakfast. They made me DELICIOUS g/f French toast rolled in crunchy oats. I was full halfway through, but it was so tastyI couldn't stop eating until my plate wad clean. The vibe of this place is laid-back and very welcoming. The high ceiling and general decor is casual and comfy. There is also outdoor seating available. I can't leave this place a review without commenting on how cool and friendly everyone who works there has been. They have a way of making you feel like you are an old friend who just happened to stop by.
