    French Dip sandwich
    Amber D.

    Red Rocks Grill has the feel of a small town local spot . Decor is "cabin/lodge". The staff was friendly. The French dip and pulled pork sandwich were very flavorful but the French fries were under seasoned/lacking salt. There could also have been more meat on all the sandwiches.

    Bowl of green chili
    Monyca W.

    This place was kind of weird. I traveled with some friends to Red Rocks and, after walking around in the sun, we tried to get into a different restaurant in town. There was a long wait and we were very hungry so we walked down the street and found this place. My first impression was a very expired bottle of hand sanitizer by the door. (Does hand sanitizer go bad? I'm not sure, and I often ignore expiration dates at home, but I feel conflicted about restaurants that overlook expiration dates all the same.) Maybe it was refilled? I decided to overlook it. My second impression was the woman I later learned was the owner shouting across the dining room to patrons as they came in. "You! You'll have to wait! You, how many? She's wiping down a table for you now!" I'm from the northeast so I'm not sensitive, and I thought, ok, I can roll with this, it's like a Jersey diner, bring on the attitude, honey. We were seated right away but the table was still dirty around the edges (clearly someone had wiped the center, leaving all of the crumbs at the edges.) I needed to use the restroom, so after reading the menu I let my friends know they could order the green chili for me if the server came while I was gone. When I came back, my friends reported that the server had come but when they ordered the green chili for me, the owner had spoken up to warn them that the green chili was very spicy - they imitated a kick she had done, I guess, I wasn't there to see it, that was meant to represent the "kick" the chili had - so they wanted to give me a chance to reconsider. That was kind, but I decided to go ahead with the green chili. Twice, once while we waited for our food, and again while we were eating, the owner came by to talk about her childhood and where she was from. It was the same story twice, so it was a little confusing. Also... one of my friends who was with me is Black, and the owner's story was basically about how she is also Black, not by appearance but, perhaps appearance isn't everything was her point I guess, and she was "raised in the hood" and she called my friend "mami" and she came back to tell us the same thing twice, and it just felt... awkward. I think she meant well (I think? I tend to give the benefit of the doubt.) and she didn't say anything particularly rude, it was just uncomfortable. To make matters worse, the chili was pretty bland. On a scale of mild salsa to medium to hot, I'd rate this around ketchup on the Scoville scale. I didn't order a glass of water (I didn't need one with the chili!) but I heard the owner telling a nearby table that the cloudy water was fine to drink (it probably just needed to sit a minute if it was straight out of the tap?) and then again telling the server that if anyone asked about the cloudy tap water, tell the customers it was fine to drink. I had traveled pretty far to meet up with my friends and I felt the meal was overshadowed by the owner's ramblings. That aside, the food was nothing to write home about. If we hadn't been hot, tired, and hungry, we probably should have kept walking. Next time.

    Snow capped honey crisp cider
    Abby T.

    Stopped here on our way to a concert at red rocks for some drinks and food. They have open seating, so we did not wait to be seated, and our waitress immediately came and gave us menus. She was wonderful with recommendations and answering our questions. I chose the snow-capped honey crisp cider, and it was honestly one of the best ciders I've had! It was sweet yet sour, went down smooth, and was strong. We shared the chips and salsa, it was pretty sweet tasting but good. We both ended up ordering the pulled pork sandwich with the coleslaw on the side. It was disappointing, to say the least. The meat was burnt and way over cooked, where it was too hard to eat and lost all the moisture. It also did not taste good, and we both did not finish our sandwiches. The coleslaw was more like cut-up pickles. But the fries were actually good, crispy, and salty. We did appreciate how quickly everything came out, and our server never left us waiting long. They had some great beer and ciders on tap, but the food was not good.

    Say hello to Anna when you visit, she's amazing, last of a kind.

    I visited Morrison for the first time in ages while stuck due to the recent tanker fire that closed I70. I remembered this being a good place and, what a great choice! Still pretty empty early afternoon, and I sat at the bar next to a very friendly and outgoing (VERRRRY) lady who I learned was the owner of 40 years, Anna. Well that's an experience in itself, she is quite a great character in the most fun and best sense of the word. I watched her manage the many group reservations for post graduation events as they rolled in, she's just one of a kind, a true force of nature. Little known fact - free parking in back! My bartender/server was super sweet and friendly and I watched her go into gear as they got busy, a real pro. My $17 cheeseburger loaded with great cooked just right skinny fries was delicious, about an inch thick, great meat and cooked a perfect medium. Good selection of draft cold beers! Great food and drink, maybe the last of it's kind so, check it out. Highly recommend.

    Carnitas Street Tacos
    Harlee S.

    After hiking up at Mt. Falcon Park, my friend and I headed back into town and stopped at Red Rocks Grill. My friend brought her dog along so we had to search for a place that was dog friendly and had a patio. I went in and asked if we could sit on the patio, but unfortunately it was closed. However, she said that we could bring the dog inside under one condition that no one pet her. Okay, cool! A little weird, but awesome nonetheless. They even brought out a bowl of water for her. So sweet. This encounter speaks volumes about their customer service. I loved the vibe here. The staff were super friendly, yet laid back. They definitely want you to have a good time and come back. The menu is filled with classics and even mexican dishes, which I am a fan of. I got the carnitas street tacos and a side of french fries that I probably shouldn't have ordered. I didn't think that the tacos were going to be filling enough for me, but they were filled to the hilt and incredibly flavorful. The only thing I would recommend is that they double wrap the tacos as they were falling apart from all the filling. My friend got the big kahuna, which she liked as well. Also, want to comment on the décor. I saw that underneath one of the taxidermy animals there was a wooden plaque where she was named Lauren and so on throughout the establishment. We laughed and thought this was a fun take on styling a restaurant. They also decorated a bit for Halloween! Overall, I would recommend this place to anyone coming up to Red Rocks or travelling through.

    Grilled chicken sandwich with cheddar cheese and seasoned fries
    Jaine R.

    Love this place! The staff was very welcoming and even let us order lunch items a little before they officially started lunch. (On the weekends they serve breakfast until 11:30). My son loved the giant pancake. I got a grilled chicken sandwich which was great and came with seasoned fries. I am picky about my fries but theirs were the perfect amount of crispy. My friend got the cheeseburger, which I tried a bite of and it was absolutely delicious! Actually grilled, not just on a flat top so it had that smoky grill flavor. We will definitely be back again :)

    Shot of whiskey
    Danielle F.

    We came here because they were the first ones to pop up under "BBQ" and we were disappointed that all they had was the "pulled pork sandwich" as BBQ options. Their drinks are great though & they filled our shots up to the brim, so that was excellent. Would recommend this place if they had more options on the menu as a whole. Great atmosphere though & the servers were friendly.

    House Smoked Brisket Man n Cheese special
    Leif B.

The tacos were fantastic lime cilantro coleslaw and smoke pulled pork The Mac cheese special was a favorite with bbq brisket on top and chilies The montecristo was beerbattered and deep fried. Super yum!! 16 draft beers and we had 5 all five were cold fresh and delicious. The waitress was super friendly kind full of good info and kind!

What more could one want? The menu isn't extensive but is ample, and it's all scratch made. Some items are available all day, paired with brunch items earlier and dinner entrees later. We couldn't resist the goat cheese dip, and it was amazing. Lightly gamey, as might be expected with goat cheese, but softened by greens and chopped walnuts on toast. It was a large serving, and we spooned out every last bit. We each added a half Caesar salad, one with salmon topping sans anchovies (real anchovies!) and the other with Cajun shrimp minus the pickled onions. The dressing was a true, flavorful Caesar, though if you don't like a lot you may want to ask for it to be lightly dressed or on the side. Our server volunteered having the salads chopped, and we accepted. We were both pleased with the results. The salmon was cooked to perfection with a light pink center, and the shrimp were spicy but a perfect blend with the coolness of the salad. I can't omit the peach iced tea, different from any I've had before. I usually avoid sweetened tea (unless I'm in the South, where I find sweet tea irresistible), but our server said they blend 2 c of sugar with 20 lb of peaches to make a near jam and blend it with the tea. That seemed like little enough sugar that I accepted and was glad I did. It truly did taste like a jam-tea blend. It was sweet, though, so if you don't like sweet tea, it may not be your thing. Between the appetizer and the half salads, we were full enough to need little dinner later. Two added bonuses--a takeout charcuterie shack that will custom make beautiful boards from mini to full size (also available on the restaurant menu) and a dedicated outdoor seating area for diners with dogs. We were in Denver house/dogsitting for our adult children. They're foodies but have never tried this place, and we loved it enough to hope to go again with them when they return. A true winner.
