Pancakes
Emma J.

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!

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!!

Green chili

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!

Double smash bison burger with subbed chili instead of fries

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.

Chicharrones Queso

Stopped in here after our hike for a quick snack and we really enjoyed the Chicharrones Queso. The server was very friendly and the ambiance is unbeatable if you eat outside.

Chicken lollipops- spectacular! It's a big portion for being considered on menu as a "snack"!

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.

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!

Hot honey chicken sandwich. Amazing!! Not super hot at all
Billie B.

Seriously loved this spot! Such a fun experience and the food was delicious! Kara was our waitress and she was sweet and attentive. Highly recommend especially if you are visiting!

Menu as of 09/03/25

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.

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.

Burger
J Warren R.

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.

I see you need to pay $25 per person for reservations. Does that money go towards food or is it a cover charge to get in and then food and drinks are extra fee?

Goes toward your total food/ drinks bill

Great atmosphere and excellent food. Our table had the buffalo cauliflower, burger, bolognese, and…read morebrick chicken. All were fantastic. Good, friendly service as well. Highly recommended.

Beautiful garden seating for mid-afternoon lunch on a rare 83-degree October day (apparently warmed…read moreby fireplace and heaters in colder months), attentive service, and great food. 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.

There was also a live guitar performance that added a nice touch to the overall vibe. Both the indoor and outdoor seating areas are great options.

Expect to wait 30-60 minutes for a breakfast/brunch table, especially if you want one of the coveted outdoor spots. The seating is worth it though, the view of the forest and creek from your table is so endearing and serene. The food and drinks are delicious. The meals are all ornately plated, and well thought out, and made with great ingredients. The venue is semi-open air so there are a lot of flies, but every table has an anti-fly windmill/propeller. I will definitely go back, but now I know parking is super limited and annoying. All of the businesses in town are hyper aware of how limited this very popular restaurant's parking is, and aggressively inform you they are "Not Restaurant Parking". Plan to park curbside in the dirt on the outskirts of town far from any other business, and make the short walk to the restaurant.
