July 27, 2026 - Morrison, CO We had originally planned to eat here before a Friday night concert, but by the time I went to make reservations, there weren't any left for our concert date. Since we were staying in the area for a week, I booked a 2:00 p.m. lunch on Monday instead. If you're planning to dine before a show, make your reservations as soon as they become available. After a little confusion about where to park and exactly where the restaurant entrance was, we found our way inside and were seated at a table with a beautiful view. Our server was friendly and attentive, bringing water right away and taking great care of us throughout the meal. They were out of the happy hour wine I had ordered, but the alternative was excellent, so no complaints there. We started with the appetizer special of the day--wontons with chili sauce--and also shared the Pan Seared Gnocchi. Both were delicious. We finished with the Lemon Olive Oil Cake, which was the perfect ending to the meal. We're glad we had the opportunity to dine at this iconic spot. One small suggestion: the menu posted outside is the Spring 2025 menu, so it could use an update. read more

On our drive from Vail to Denver, we met my niece and family here at Red Rock for lunch. Red Rock is a must see destination based on its history and beauty. I would love to come back for a concert. Ship Rock Grille is built into the facility. Our server Chelsea was great and did a good job. The menu is very casual and good. Kids had cheeseburgers, grilled cheese and chicken tenders. Adults had salads and glasses of wine. Gluten free options are available. Check the entire facility out. Many people hike and have lunch here. read more

We went here for breakfast following one of the Yoga on the Rocks sessions this year. Our server was very attentive and friendly. We ordered the chicken and waffles as well as the pancakes. They were good portions, but we did feel it was a little odd to have fries instead of home fries with the chicken and waffles (they were decent fries though), and the waffle was a bit overly sweet and could have used something else to cut the sweetness but the berry compote that came with the pancakes was awesome! read more

After walking around the park and the amphitheater. We decided to come here for some food and libations. Not a hard decision as they are the only establishment open here serving food and drinks. Its quite expansive here. With a nice eating area outside. Our waitress was super nice. Food comes out quickly. And the drinks are not bad. We ordered their burger. It was pretty good. The fries were so so. The drinks looked beautiful and tasted amazing. They close about an hour before sunset. So during the fall winter time, they close quite early. But they dont rush you out. Pricing is fair for a touristy area. We had several other things on their menu. And they were all pretty good. A solid establishment for sustenance and libations when visiting red rock amphitheater!! read more

Great place ! Nice atmosphere and our server Kara was very friendly and helpful! Thank you for the hospitality and the VIEWS!!! Wow our pictures are amazing read more

Absolutely delicious food! With wonderful scenery at a beautiful location. The Autumn Gnocchi was vegan and GF and honestly some of the best gnocchi I've had. The texture was mindblowing and the butternut squash gave it the perfect amount of sweetness. The fries had an aioli that made it super addicting and dangerous. Servers were terrific. Super nice to us, and even accommodated our furbabies (though probably because it was a slower day, don't think dogs are normally allowed on busy days). The amphitheater is nice and the rocks are stunning, but this restaurant had no business being as good as it was. What a find! read more

Our first time to the amphitheater and we were able to snag this killer view table before our show. We were able to watch the sun go down while enjoying a great meal. It was pretty cool to have such good food at a concert venue. We ordered 4 meals, an app and 4 drinks for under $100. Can't beat it. Our waiter was great, made good recs and always was attentive. Our food was great. I'd highly recommend the chili and lobster roll. The roll was so refreshing. The duck carnitas are very heavy and rich, so I'd recommend sharing those. They open for reservations prior to shows, or walk ins when the doors open to the venue. You can also stop in for lunch any day of the week. read more

This place is a gem in a tourist zone. I've brought visitors twice now and the food has been spot‑on every time. Even my guests were impressed. Consistently delicious, easy to get a table, servers are attentive and super responsive. You have to sit on their patio as you will have an amazing view and ambiance. DEFINITELY a must‑visit. read more

First time to red rock grille. Wondering experience, great friendly staffs. All our food is fabulous. We start outside with wonderful view.

Longer hours. I want to eat right before the concert! I dont want to eat lunch and then sit around the entire day waiting for 7pm performance! read more

Such a cool spot! I'm glad we got to experience it without the rush of people during a concert. Went here to walk around red rocks and ended our hike with lunch out on their patio. Incredible views while enjoying a fat tire beer on draft and the duck carnitas tostada. Would love to come again when we're back in town! read more

Well worth the price and to be honest, it wasn't that expensive. We even got in early and preferred parking since we made reservations. The cost was $75 to make the reservation but the fee goes towards food and drink, so well worth the price. We got the smash burgers, the chili cheese fries and a salad and some drinks and it was well with the price. Again, we got in early the venue before the rest of the crowds. read more

We decided to have lunch here on a whim while enjoying the amphitheater and we enjoyed our visit. We sat outside where there was a nice view of the mountain and a nice breeze. The prices were not crazy considering the location. Husband and I each got the chicken sandwich and it was $18. We both really enjoyed it. The chicken had a great flavor and we both really enjoyed the pickles. The service was a bit slow. I had asked for ketchup while ordering and the food came with no ketchup. It was a while before the server came back and I had to ask again. read more

Pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food and service. I am sure you know that to visit the Ship Rock Grille you must have a Red Rocks concert ticket for that evening, restaurant is located within the security perimeter. For my group this was an excellent way to start the show. The menu is not lengthy and includes some fairly standard fare. Burgers, French fries, Tostados = comfort food. Fairly good bar and cocktail selection. Service was friendly and relatively quick. You will also need a reservation to get in. read more

The first thing we have to talk about... the view....wow there are not enough words for the outdoor seating. We had a rocks burger and fries, both items were very good. We went a few hours before a show, we didn't have to wait and the service was quick. read more

They recently re-opened and they made a lot of improvements. They added new umbrellas, they added a covered patio and bar, and they revamped their food and drink menu. They use Colorado products even down to the ketchup they put on the tables. This is a great concept. I had 2 Jameson Limeade drinks which was so refreshing on a hot day after hiking and preparing for a concert that evening. I also really love the collard greens that normally comes with the Chicken dish. I had a burger with the collard greens and I really enjoyed it. My friends and I were celebrating my birthday so we also got the pie to share. It reminded me of a hula pie. Delicious and shareable. If you have reservations for dinner and you have a concert scheduled for that evening you can also get into the venue a few hours earlier than the rest of the crowd. This is a prime option! read more

We've been to Red Rocks dozens of times (probably more) but just tried Ship Rock Grill for the first time. It's beautiful, super convenient for pre-show dining, and the service is incredibly fast and friendly. We'll definitely come back. read more

Service was a bit slow, but that aside the food was fantastic as were the views. I had be shrimp roll and it was perfect in every way. The bib lettuce was a perfect barrier for the aioli tossed shrimp to prevent the bun from getting soggy. The aioli was thin and light with a perfect slight heat that played off the sweetness of the bun and the cold chill of the shrimp. The shrimp were plump and well cooked. It's a dish I wouldn't typically order but glad I did and would recommend hands down. read more

Our server Billy was attentive and pleasant and we were sat quickly. So the service was good. About the food, my shrimp roll was supposed to be blackened, and wasn't. I also could have used more pico di gallo, and the shoestring fries were soggy and undercooked. But my husband loved the Elk Chili flavors and his Bison Bolognese. The setting is wonderful and we ended up having a great lunch. Would go again, and instead order a salad. read more

Food was fantastic and our server,Rachel, was such a treat! Very understanding and welcoming!

Look at your credit card bill after you get home. Waitress was left a cash tip and they added 20% to the amount I signed for while using the credit card. Called the manager and had the money refunded. How many people a day? Atmosphere was great (provided by the Colorado blue skies). Food was fine. Wine was fine. Being cheated by staff....no so fine. read more

Came to a great concert at Red Rocks and it was fantastic to come here prior to eat. The food was really good. I saw some not-so-great reviews by some; but that wasn't my experience at all! Great staff, enjoyed the food and the best part...walked on over to the concert. Wins all the way around. read more

The service was super fast! The waitress took our order and before you knew it another brought out our dinner... we got the smash burgers and French fries... the best fries! We ate out on the patio... the fresh air and getting a feel for the red rocks was awesome! Can't wait to go back again. read more

Getting seated: The host worked hard to be courteous, honest, and helpful. I appreciated that. We got seated within a reasonable amount of time. Seating is limited and this is a popular location at Red Rocks Amphitheater & Park. There is patio and indoor seating. We opted for first available, which gave us an indoor table. One wall of the dining room fully opens to the patio, so we still got a nice sense of the fresh air and beauty outside. Ambiance: Rustic, comfortable, and similar to most park dining places that serve casual dining food. It was clean. Tables were not too crowded together. Bathrooms were decent. You can use the stairs or the elevator to get from the main area to the restaurant level. Service: Our server did a good job. Food: Casual dining. I had a bowl of the pork green chili. It was similar to the popular Mexican soup, Pozole. It was a wee bit too spicy for me, so I got a dollop of sour cream for the top to cut the heat. I did find it tasty. It came with two small flour tortillas. My husband got a burger and fries. He said they were good, too. Parking: Could be a challenge. The small parking lot that seems closest was limited. There are other parking lots, but you might have to climb a slope one way or the other. Overall, my experience was a 5 star for this kind of restaurant. I enjoyed it. Everything went well for us. Note: I know this is a season where establishments are having a hard time finding good workers, so I always keep that generous understanding in mind these days. It took a while to get our food, and I assumed that could be why. We did fine slowing down to enjoy the view and conversation while we waited. Even with that reality, our experience was good. I'd eat there again and bring friends if the situation arose. We are not from that area. Make sure to check the hours of operation before driving there. read more

I recently visited Colorado and had amazing food experiences throughout the trip--until I came to this place. Right off the bat, the service felt off. Our waitress gave us strange looks, almost like she was sizing us up or doubting whether we could afford the meal. It was uncomfortable and unnecessary. As for the food--unfortunately, it was a total letdown. I ordered a lemon cake with berries, and it was dry, cold, and tasted like it had been sitting out for days. Nothing fresh about it. We also ordered two more items, and honestly, everything looked and tasted like it came straight from a Walmart grab-and-go section--just slapped onto a plate with zero effort or presentation. Honestly don't do this to yourself. Reck Rocks is an absolutely beautiful place to visit, but avoid this place. read more

Great time visiting this venue. Billy our waiter was friendly and awesome! He is very knowledgeable about magpies

Amazing service and the best is being at the venue for your show! Works out great. Prices were reasonable and views great.

The waitstaff was nice and the food was delicious! The cocktails were good, and it was a great spot to grab dinner before the show. The location ain't bad either! read more

While the breathtaking views of Red Rock are worth the trip, I can't really say the same for this place. It was starting to sprinkle as we came in so they weren't putting anyone outside which was a bummer since that's what we really wanted... We ordered steak tacos with beans and rice and a chicken sandwich... the sandwich was so so, but man the tacos were pretty greasy and the beans and rice tasted kinda stale... so not fun at all. Maybe some drinks outside on a sunny day would be a better vibe for this place, but we definitely weren't feeling it. read more

Views Galore! It's a great place to stop in if you're in need of a bite after exploring red rocks but I will say the menu wasn't as expansive as I'd hope. The staff is friendly and of course you can't beat the outdoor views. The margarita was on the sweeter side but it was a great & refreshing sip after all the stair climbing ! read more

This place was surprisingly good. We stopped by for lunch on a Tuesday and they were busy, most of the outside patio area was full. Staff was nice but busy. We tried pretzel bites which were yummy- a generous portion with plenty to share and the cheese dip was so delicious! I tried the soup of the day which was a potato soup. It was thick but full of flavor. I also got a Caesar salad and loved it. Their lemon dressing was so light and fresh. My hubby got the beyond burger and said it was good. Fries were pretty standard Everyone else enjoyed their food and the beautiful views on a sunny day! If you're visiting red rocks definitely stop by for a bite. read more

Food was ok. Issue was the host. Had reservations at 1:30 on 7-20-25. Showed up at 1:25. Hostess was rude from the moment we went through the door. Was talking about the experience after we sat down. Someone from another table overheard and told us when they were leaving that they had the same experience with the hostess. Our bill was about $150 for 3 of us. Don't need a hostess to be overly pleasant just don't need one to be rude like her. I will never be back! read more

Lunch with mountains as your backdrop. We had lunch outside and it was beautiful scenery. I was a party of two. My husband ordered the steak tacos and I got the buffalo wings. His tacos were amazing! I should have ordered them myself lol. The wings were okay. Very similar to what you get at any place. So not bad but nothing special. Just sitting outside with nature literally in the background was beautiful. read more

Loved touring Denver and the Red Rocks Park is a must on your trip. We decided to check it out first and then drive around town after. Once we did the small trail and many steps up to the amphitheater we were kinda thirsty! Luckily there is a restaurant right next to the amphitheater so we wandered over there for a drink. We were quickly seated in the lovely dining room and approached by our waiter. We decided to just get a glass of wine and a beer along with some tater tots to snack on. While we waited we talked about the next places we wanted to visit. After we got our beverages and tater tots we chow down and enjoyed. The reason I give this place only 3 stars is because the waiter forgot my partner's 2nd drink and then overcharged for my glass of wine. We really didn't want to take time to complain about the overcharge and we just chalked it up to the waiter being busy. Other than that it was nice but we only had the tater tots so we can't vouch for any of the other food. read more

Great variety of foods and drinks to choose from to please any palate. Good mountain vibes from the time we got to the venue before the concert until we left. We were seated on the patio, no less than fantastic. John was an incredible waiter. This was an overall amazing experience. read more

We stopped by because we happened to visit the Red Rocks Amphitheater on a whim. As an out of towner, there is no indication nor directions telling you to walk downstairs for you to find the grille. All in all, we waited 20min from when we were seated for service. We were then offered complimentary drinks but they tasted extremely watered down. The wings were decent and the tater tots were sub par. Would I go back? Not really but I will say this, their burger and fries looked good!!!!! And, their salads were well portioned. read more
