The Woodpecker
William M.

Stopped by for a Smash Burger and was not disappointed with a flavorful and generous portion size. Ordered "The Woodpecker" bacon onion jam smash and left there wanting another one. The bun quality was tier one and the seasoning was on point! Juicy & mouth watering burger alert! We went back the next day to get more cause they sure know how to make burgers! The owner was cheffing up in the back and was super personable & friendly. We had a nice chat and came to learn he also owns the famous One Love Rum Kitchen down the street. This guy knows food! The best part about Sparky's is its idea location next to the beach. They have tent coverage in case of rain and plenty of seating. This spot is great for a quick grab and go meal. I also really enjoyed the music they had on, quality blue grass that fit the vibe. Great people, food, and experience. Will be back!! 10/10

I had the Chicago Dog at Sparky's and it was excellent! The service was great and they have adult beverages as well.

Next door to them is a fun little snack shop called Miyauchi's Snack Bar. This walk-up food stand was exactly what I was in the mood for. I wanted something affordable, quick and delicious. They had a line forming when I arrived because it was lunch time. Miyauchi's Snack Bar is mostly known for their homemade ice cream. But they also serve burgers, sandwiches and sides. I haven't had a patty melt in years and ordered one with onion rings. Most of the employees here are young folks and they were really nice. For seating, Miyauchi's has outdoor picnic tables that are available on a first-come first-served basis. I got lucky and was able to grab a table as someone was leaving. It was a warm day, so I had to get ice cream after finishing my meal. Miyauchi's Snack Bar has a variety of flavors to choose from. Being the coffee fanatic that I am, I ordered a cup of Kahlua-N-Cream. This place was great and capped off my fun-filled day at Grand Lake.

The menu is outstanding, however one gets what they pay for and this isn't where one would take children or those who want a quick meal.

I will try to keep this review short but there are plenty of things I need to mention as a chef for…read more11 years and Assistant General Manager at an upscale restaurant in Denver. All of this review is written to improve future dining experiences for others. The historic rapids lodge restaurant is trying to be a fine dining experience when they don't have the front of house service, nor kitchen experience to hold that standard that they are having you pay for. ($82 ribeye, $21 deviled eggs, etc..) It is a beautiful venue on the river I will give it that. We also had a LARGE party, and I recognize fully how difficult that can be, but it was my sister in laws engagement day and celebration. We tried to set our reservation months in advance (as we were a LARGE party and wanted them to be prepared) and they didn't respond to our several calls until a month before (not bad), then the night of the event they were not even close to prepared. The host walked us into the restaurant without the tables set up, WE had to help set them up because they didn't know how many were in our party nor how to seat us. We didn't get silverware until we asked twice, we didn't have enough water for 20 minutes, we didn't get menus after sitting at the table. Those are the base line issues that any restaurant should have down, especially one with this price tag. The fine dining issues I want to mention, they don't have wine menu's to pair their food with. We never had enough bread for the 17 of us (we got a quarter loaf at a time). I see the owners vision, and he tried to make up for the mistakes with free sides and dessert, but while he was a pretty good host I don't think he has the staff to accomplish a fine dining experience. Overall, disappointing experience for the price point, and mid tier experience for a dining experience at one quarter the price point. To the restaurant, meet the bare minimum before you try to charge $100 a head. Get a wine list and prepare your waiters when you're charging $24 a glass. Train your staff to care about the menu and know what they're talking about with food and wine pairings. I know it's not denver, so if you can't find people like this in grand lake or train them yourself, LOWER YOUR PRICE POINT and change your business plan to upscale casual. Please. P.S. We still tipped 20+%, but I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone until they try to adjust their business plan.
