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

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

For basically being the only dining option on top of a mountain, Ship Rock Grille doesn't slack off. Highly recommend the mimosa! Also the view is incredible! read more

Wonderful spot to eat lunch if you're visiting on a non-concert day with excellent service, lots of yummy comfort food to try and beautiful views even from inside where it's warm. The servers are so attentive, fast and friendly! The hash brown tots were delicious and huge portion, so be prepared! And even though we were stuffed from the yummy Cuban sandwich and Turkey wrap and fries, we still had room for their decadent cookie sundae which came out with a warm center and perfect amount of ice cream on top. Easy to get seating even without a reservation on a non concert day. read more

Our waitress was super helpful and had a great attitude However the hostess/manager made the experience a miserable one. We had delicious drinks and were about to order our food and the manager came to the table and asked if we had moved an umbrella. We said yes as the sun was blazing and the umbrella was not being used. She started scolding us that it was a fire hazard and that the fire department placed them and they are not allowed to be moved. We asked if she would like us to move it back and she said no. I felt bad because 2 different servers looked at us emphatically - like this might be common with her. We choose to leave and eat somewhere else. It's too bad because it was a beautiful outdoor venue and we were enjoying ourselves until this interaction. Again the servers were fantastic! Some people do not need to be in customer service/hospitality. read more

The food was okay. The view was nice. The service was good. It's fun to do once. I don't think i will go back.

Beware that it's $25 hold a person to make a reservation. This money does come off your total bill for dinner. The ambiance was so neat and well themed to go with the location. I joked it was like Disney world. We split 2 flat breads and a salad. The goat cheese fritter was so good on the salad. I saw the huge chocolate ice cream cake come out of the kitchen a few times and had to get one. Yum! Defiantly big enough to share read more

Service was great & food was ok but the convenience for concert goers is the main reason to eat here.

We were attending our 1st Red Rocks concert & wanted to add the restaurant dinner to make a night of it. The food is nothing extraordinary here but it also isn't unpleasant either. I think the reasons to eat here would be that you can avoid the lines at the snack stands while getting possibly a little higher level of food, the views at the restaurant are worth going at least once, & if you get an early reservation you get to enter the venue before doors officially open so that you avoid waiting in the long security lines. While the cocktails & drinks were nothing special, I think we go to shows so infrequently here that when we do attend an event we'd make sure to eat here. The benefits definitely outweigh any negatives. read more

This is really a zero star rating, but as that is not a choice, it gets a one. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE! Despite having a lunch reservation for 2pm, when we arrived we were told in an exceptionally rude manner by the hostess that "the kitchen closes in 5 minutes so you better hurry up and order. And in any case we kick everyone out of here by 3 pm." Our bill arrived ~2 min after the food arrived and the waitress stood over me while I looked for my credit card. The bill was $64.79. For food I wasn't given time to consume. read more

Morrison, Co. Had lunch here while exploring Red Rocks. I had low expectations since at is a touristy locale, but you know it was pretty darned good. Prices were reasonable and probably less than any meal at DIA. My chicken salad had fresh greens and the chicken was breaded but not fried. A bit on the small side but I was ok with that uncharacteristically. The green chili was really scrumptious. Our waitress was really great, got us a table with some shade, and brought out our food quickly. I liked that they gave me a generous hunk of avocado. Surprising since most places are stingy with it. Tortilla with the chili was fresh and warm. Overall it was a perfect light lunch, and a nice break from the hiking and heat. read more

Totally the way to go at a Red Rocks show! Sit outside at the bar for great views to go with the delicious food and drinks. We were at a country show, so I went with a Kentucky Mule, even though I am not a bourbon drinker. read more

DO NOT DO BRUNCH HERE! Maybe I have a different standard for Brunch, especially a buffet brunch and this place certainly does not meet that standard. I have been to so many places for brunch and when I saw that Ship Rock Grille had an Easter Brunch, I was like score. Made a reservation for my family and was really looking forward to it. I had not been out to Red Rock yet, so our family loaded up and made the 90 minute trip for our glorious Easter Brunch (Well so I thought). We were a bit early so we walked around and explored the concert grounds while we waited. Our reservation was for 9:30 am, and we were seated fairly promptly. It is buffet style so basically you go to where the food is and serve yourself. The spread was well, umm... unsatisfying. When you are paying Thirty-five dollars for breakfast I guess you have some expectations. The prime rib was ok and probably their only saving grace, the ham was dryer than I have ever had, and the omelet station was a sad joke. The omelet station couldn't seem to get operational burners, I felt bad for the cooks because there was not much they could do. All and all nothing popped out at me, and nothing was that fantastic. Final bill with tip was $170+ for five people, who only really maybe at a plate of food with coffee & juices for the kids. I could of made us an excellent breakfast for way less than this, and I wouldn't of had to drive and I could of had a dang cocktail. Nah, nope, un uh... Won't ever come back here again for a brunch. This a beautiful place, and obviously there is no where else to eat around here so it is unfortunate that your only option is overpriced subpar food. read more

I've been to the Ship Rock Grille a number of times. The food is not bad, but there's nothing fancy about it. It's just food that will take care of your hunger. The staff is always friendly and polite as well. However, on certain concert nights, the grille resorts to a buffet for dinner. No menu. The buffet is overpriced and is very limited with its selection. The buffet sucks. For the chef to serve buffets on some concert nights is a complete cop out on their part. It shows that they have no concern for the customer that made reservations expecting to order from the menu. It shows me that the chef and the staff can not handle a full restaurant service. Buffets take work too keeping temps and food rotated but when you make a reservation expecting full menu service, the buffet is disappointing. When someone makes reservations at the Grille expecting to be able to order off the menu, it is maddening to show up and find out that its buffet, its much more than you'd have spent ordering from the menu, and the selection is lousy. Everytime we've had reservations and found out it was buffet, we don't eat. On a good note, the Grille does now let you know that it will be buffet service. We then go elsewhere to eat. That's money the Grille loses. read more

Matt was wonderful! He gave great service and a great experience! The food was so good, the atmosphere was very calm and relaxed!

Our waitress was amazing and the food was great! All of this as they were busy with a concert starting that evening that was sold out

im sorry to say our experience last night was dreadful,,, wait staff was not knowledge at all, did not know anything about wine selection and the food was not good,,ordered the blueberry chorizo salad,, the chorizo was cold and inedible,, the flatbread was thick slices of pizza,,, such a disappointment for such a beautiful venue,,, we just wanted to spend our required 50$ and head out the to show,,, read more

I was surprise how good this place was. I thought it was going to be a touristy spot but their food was awesome and the view is really cool.

I had a reservation here for before the Rateliff show. They would not allow us into the venue due to bad weather. I called today to get my reservation fee refunded (almost $100!) They would not refund the reservation fee. They were so rude and totally took advantage and basically stole our money .... Never again! read more

Will definitely be coming back here next time I go to a concert at Red Rocks! Our food was 100000/10 and the service was top notch! I wish I would've taken a picture of the food but I was too busy scarfing it down! read more

A once in a lifetime kind of spot. The server was so kind and not afraid to make some suggestions. She not only gave us some direction with food but even told us some of the best spots for taking pictures. We were in town from LA to see a whole and she understood that we were tourist and embraced it rather getting annoyed. They also had us wait a second so we could get primary seating overlooking the valley. WOW what a vista. Our server's recommendations for food and drink were spot on and we enjoyed every bite. Price was incredibly reasonable for the experience. We hesitated at first deciding if we should eat at the restaurant or just try to get vendor food. We won't hesitate next time, this is the spot when going to Red Rock! read more

Six of us had lunch at the Shiprock today. Everything was great! Highly recommend the elk sausage, the fish and chips, and the beet Greek salad. The kids had a Rock Burger and chicken tenders. All of it was great. We had great service as well. Aiden was our server and was super friendly and helpful. Very enjoyable. And, the remodeled space is nice, both indoor and patio dining. read more

The food was shockingly GREAT! I only wish the restaurant had a little better view of Red Rocks, but we got plenty of great views on our hike beforehand. read more

We booked a 5:15 reservation before a show at 7pm, our server did her best, but they were way understaffed, we waited 20 minutes to get water and didn't get our food until 6:45, and ended up late to the show. Food was mediocre. We won't go back. Really the only benefit is, if you have a reservation for the Grille (which you have to prepay for, so you have to eat there) you can get into the ampitheatre early. read more

Poor service. Rude staff. We tried going in for the $5 dollar mimosas. We stood at the entrance waited to be seated for a while waited to be seated. In the meantime the waitresses were chatting and Ignoring us. After a few minutes, they said they were short staffed and there was a 10 min wait just to get some beverages. What a bad experience! read more

Surprisingly good, considering it's a venue restaurant. Exceeded our expectations. You go to Red Rocks for the concert and the ambiance. But now we'll go for the food also! read more

We had the buffet - it was "okay". This was our first time to Red Rocks. We decided to try Ship Rock Grille for dinner before a concert. We were told by our waiter that they recently moved to the buffet dinner concept before concerts. The buffet had 2 types of salad, a couple of vegetables, shrimp skewers, pasta, roasted potatoes, prime rib and dessert. Drinks were extra. The meal was $35 per person. We felt this was about $10 too high. Maybe if it included a cocktail or soft drink, the value proposition would have been better. Anyway, the food was decent and very convenient. read more

Not great food. Greeted by friendly reception and Others but unfortunately our server was not helpful. Questions were met with rude remarks. I'd almost have given it two stars. read more

If you're touring the area, this Ship Rock Grille is a nice place to stop at. Unfortunately, the food is quite average and the wait times for your food are the same whether or not the place is busy. I personally recommend the burgers and I don't recommend the truffle fries. read more

Ship Rock Grille is a good place to grab a lunch if your visiting Red Rocks to see the Museum and Amphitheater. The food and service is good, with reasonable prices. I've been debating if this is a 3 or 4 star review. Everything was fine, there was just nothing to get overly excited about when it came to the food and service. It's good and I recommend it as a solid 3 star location. read more

Unimpressed (insert McKayla Maroney face here). Food came at a decent time, but paying for the bill took 15+ minutes. Food is nothing special. Cobb salad was small without that much meat. Bison tamales were all right. It was out of convenience we came here, as we were visiting the Red Rocks. See those, but I'd advise getting your grub on somewhere else. read more

Summer is finally here! And this sun-worshiping Denverite finds nothing more pleasurable than eating and drinking outside. This is the main reason why I decided to give ship rock grill a try. We had some time to kill before a concert, so decided to grab a few appetizers and drinks beforehand. We sat outside and the panoramic view is surreal. I have always loved how magnificent this place is, especially when the sun hits the red rocks- breathtaking. Our waiter was friendly and attentive. He recommended the Angus Beef Burger and garlic fries- both items were delicious. read more

We made reservations for dinner here before a concert at Red Rocks. We were seated promptly, although they chose to seat us in full-sun at 6:20 PM in July. Our request to move inside was honored. We ordered the flatbread to share (it was ok, nothing special). Our kids had chicken tenders, fries and Mac-n-cheese. The chicken tenders and fries were good-the Mac-n-cheese was Kraft. The thing that aggravated me was that I ordered a $16 margarita. I wouldn't normally spend this much on 1 drink but it was a special occasion. I took 1 sip and it slipped out of my hand when setting it down due to the condensation on the aluminum cup it was served in. Our waitress came over it brought 2 towels to clean it up. Over 75% of my drink had spilled on the table and at no time was an offer made to replace it. I understand, my fault, but most places would offer to get another one. It was my first drink of the night and we hadn't even ordered food yet. I didn't say anything but my husband did later. Our waitress had asked her "manager" and was told that they would not replace it. The dinner was booked through OpenTable, and that required pre-payment of $25 per person. The restaurant was already paid $100 so when we were going to check out, we hadn't yet met the total. You can't use any of that amount for a tip and there is no money given back. So, I got another margarita but I had to pay for it. In all, a disappointing start to a night. It was our second time at Red Rocks. I would have expected better customer service but that seems to be lacking here. Overall, I would not recommend due to customer service and food quality. Will not be back. read more

This is the only sit-down restaurant at Red Rocks, and for that I am very grateful. Eat dinner here first and avoid the show traffic. This is NOT a "fancy nice" place (no tablecloths), and is closer to a chain restaurant than one might hope for. The quality of the food was better than I expected; I had the salmon burger, my wife had the veggie pita, which she loved. Good wine list although only by the plastic glass, not by the bottle at shows. Service was a little slow but better than I expected based on other reviews. If you are in a hurry, do not come here. Give yourself at least an hour to eat. Definitely recommended. Not the best restaurant in the world, but for what it is, it is good. Some people seem to think it is overpriced, but I thought it was appropriate. Considering that they have a monopoly, things could be a LOT worse! read more

Great views of the surrounding mountains from your outdoor seating. Service was excellent and our server was courteous and prompt. The menu offers a good variety of selections. Next to the huge amphitheater overlooking Morrison Colorado. We ordered some drinks and an appetizer (buffalo chips). The views were amazing! read more

The hubs and I came here for lunch after a hike. The service was really good and they had Coke products. God bless them because, no, Pepsi is not the same. I got the avocado BLT and he got a Colorado cheesesteak. The view is not to be beat on the backside of the amphitheater. More of a limited menu but definitely something for everyone. read more

We came to Red Rock for some sight seeing a few weeks ago and worked up a hunger walking all around the amphitheatre. We discovered the Grille and didn't expect much but we're pleasantly surprised. - Fan Club Fry Duo (4) The Garlic Fries, 5 stars, and the Black Pepper Aioli, 5 stars, phenomenal combination but could both stand alone wonderfully. Buffalo fries were disappointing, being tossed in buffalo sauce made the fries soggy and cold, they get only 2 stars. - Buffalo Chili (4/4.5) Flavorful, Filling and Fantastic. - French Onion Soup (4.5/5) It was heaven in a bowl on this chilly day. - Prospector's Club (4) Now this was funky. I gave it a go and thoroughly enjoyed it. Salty prosciutto and salami, spicy turkey, and a nice kick from the pepperoni, it was a meat fest and a good one at that. - Blue Moon (5) That's obviously a glass of delicious. The service was good as was the food! I would definitely come here before a concert if I was lucky enough to be in the area. read more

Super disappointed about this review. I had a reservation and received several text requests asking to confirm it but then the restaurant was closed upon arrival! I guess there must have been some kind of mixup because it happened to several others showing up at the gate hoping to get in only to be told that they weren't open. Sucked that several of us had taken Uber and were dropped off and stranded until the park opened 1.5 hour later read more
