Glad this place is still here! Came back and the food was so delicious, and the back room still so cute! Had the Buffalo Brussels sprouts for an app - it was delicious, and my meal of Tofu Bitamap looked so delicious and tasted the same! Justin was so attentive and saved our wobbly table without us even saying anything - attentive service!

Lamb burger with fries (minus the house made dill pickle spear that was delicious)

Right off Highway 40 just inside Tabernash. I was expecting a rustic tavern, but it's pretty nice and classy inside, with a surprising wide array of food options. Service was attentive and friendly, even though they were pretty busy and we didn't have a reservation. We tried the Grilled Bacon Steak (bleu cheese on the side for her, because yuck) with wild mushroom sauce. This was one of the best appetizers I've had in a long time. It was delicious, and plenty of mushrooms that would have been delicious without the bacon. She ordered the soup de jour, a Thai curry soup with seafood. She said it tasted more like a tomato soup with seafood - she would have given it 3 stars. I ordered the lamb burger with fries. Unlike many places with lamb burgers, this one comes with more Mediterranean-like toppings like feta. This was the first or second best lamb burger I've ever had - it was delicious! The fries were dark, almost like sweet potato fries and I had to ask to make sure they were regular potatoes. They were - cooked just to that fine line between crispy and burned, but for all but the smallest pieces, they were just right for crispy thick fries with some crunch. This was a five star meal. The rest of the menu looked delicious - reinforced by a serving platter of meals for the table next to us - everything looked fantastic. I really wanted to try the extremely fancy meatloaf they offered (so many wild and fancy meats mixed!). Maybe next time.... If you are near Tabernash and want some upscale food (including fancy traditional tavern fare), give this place a try.

Seafood Mac n cheese

We had a guys weekend in Winter Park and this was the last night's dinner. After a few days of spending time together and staying up way later than we should have, drinking way more than we should have....this was a tamer dinner. Dan was our server, he was professional and helpful when we needed him. He did make an accommodation at the end, but informed us that there is no splitting checks in the future. 6 total, we paid 3 with cards and 3 with cash so he received a nice gratuity at the end. I had a drink, the jalapeño margarita which was really tasty. It bites harder than you think! When you get to the bottom it is tough to finish. Maybe try a straw so you can mix it up occasionally. Some of us got salads, others went with French Onion Soup. I have to say, I was very happy I went with the soup. Came in a pretty standard crock, emmental cheese and lots of onions and beef flavor. What made this a little more enjoyable was a few small fried onions on top for a crispy experience and a nice change to the gooey cheese layer. Altogether a great opener for me, the people who had salads were happy too. Some of the guys went with fish and chips, others went the steak route. I personally wasn't super hungry so I chose to get the seafood Mac and Cheese (traditionally an appetizer) as my dinner. Saw some lobster, but the most prevalent protein was shrimp. The breadcrumbs made for a great addition at the end. It also had peas in it which was nice. Very enjoyable. The guys that had the steak said they were cooked to their liking. I'm not sure if they felt like the pricing was worth it, but these days you have to expect some inflation. One guy ate it all so it couldn't have been that bad. We passed on desserts and coffee and everyone was pretty much drained after dinner. They looked busy here, lots of space in between tables so it doesn't get super loud or your back is up against another person. I enjoyed the meal. I will say that as I live in GA I probably won't be back, but to eat here was a good experience for me. Support small businesses!

We stopped in for a glass of wine after a hike (around 4 pm). We were early so it wasn't super crowded at the bar. I love a couple of their new appetizers. One was the baby back ribs, so tender and falling off the bone. They were served in an Asian style with papaya and black sesame seeds, lychees and dragon fruit. It was a very cool dish for this area! We also just loved the Asian style calamari with wasabi peas and a delicious lightly sweet Asian sauce. We would order those appetizers again. The quesadillas appetizer was way too heavy for our taste. The cheese and tortilla overpowered the meat and they were too soggy. That's one I would pass on next time. It's always a fun time at the bar, locals and tourists. Bartenders are friendly and helpful. The "new guy" just got his degree in engineering, hoping we will see him again, but also hope he gets the job he's looking for in his dream job! Top notch visit!

This place was such a treasure. If you're in the local vicinity, then go. You won't be disappointed. Food is excellent and the ambiance is perfect. The lobster rolls were out of this world and Brussels sprouts were also phenomenal. My husband also loved the meatloaf and the cocktails were excellent. Loved it.

Apple Strudel (very flaky!)

One of the best meals I have had in a while. Casual, rustic exterior belied the quality of the meal from start to finish. Mexican wedge salad was a novel twist on the classic salad. Soup was great. Had the El Chingon- adobo lime brushed sirloin with poblano enchiladas to accompany which was an incredible collection of flavors. Finished with Autumn Berry shortcake which was fantastic. Others in my party had Caprese Chicken and vegetarian risotto, both of which they enjoyed. Very unique flavors throughout the menu. Clearly carefully selected. Great service. Great atmosphere. Will come back for sure

Food and service was amazing. More on the expensive side, but very worth it. We got a table almost immediately

Jalapeño margarita
David C.

We finally got to try TT on this trip to Granby, we've tried before and it's always had a long wait so we made a reservation this time. We always assumed the wait would be worth it, however we left fairly disappointed. The positives first: The jalapeño margarita was pretty good, not sure $12 good but I had two so I can't complain. I love Brussel sprouts and the buffalo Brussels here were really good. Not so good: the meatloaf unfortunately didn't register my top 10, it wasn't bad it just did not warrant the price tag it came with and the mashed potatoes were average. The chicken plate was big and had good flavor but the menu said grilled and it was actually charred. The decor was cool and unique which lends itself to be a great place to dine and hang out.

The delectable & brilliantly presented calamari appetizer.
Damon M.

I was stunned at how this unassuming roadside tavern produced such amazing food & wine, not bc each & every single person I encountered there during my visit treated our party with some of the best customer service I've ever experienced, they did, but bc it's just right off the side of the road in the middle of nowhere Grand County. We assumed it was going to be a dive bar burger joint. Couldn't have been more wrong. The steak trio platter was my favorite of the night. I'm still thinking about that paprika sauce. Absolutely worth every penny. Treat yourself if you're ever in the area!

I have never in my life felt the need to leave a negative review, but for $600, this was easily one…read moreof the top three worst dining experiences I've ever had. This place does an incredible job cos-playing Yellowstone while completely ripping you off with a smile. It's a rustic-chic facade designed to distract you from the fact that the kitchen is operating at a high school cafeteria level. If you're going to charge "Wagyu" prices, you shouldn't be serving a steak that is bone-dry and flavorless. The rosemary potatoes had zero hint of herbs, and the broccolini inexplicably tasted like fish--a massive red flag for kitchen cross-contamination. To cap off the "fine dining" experience, our dessert arrived at the table still frozen in the center. It's clear nothing here is actually made in-house. Beyond the culinary failures, the bill was a mess. They conveniently "forgot" to honor their own Wednesday special ($50 off a $100+ bottle of wine). When you're spending over half a grand on a meal, you shouldn't have to audit the check for basic math and promised discounts. The only reason I didn't make a scene at the table was out of respect for our server, Bill, who was professional and hardworking. It's a shame the management and the "chefs" are hiding behind their front-of-house staff while running a total grift in the back. All hat, no cattle. Save your $600 and go literally anywhere else that actually knows how to thaw a dessert and season a potato.

I'll start by saying we have loved this place and have been coming in on and off regularly for…read moreabout 5 years. Tonight was beyond disappointing. We arrived at 5 pm (So early) for a bar table before the dinner rush. It was such a disappointment of a night for the amount of money we paid. I'd never write a review but because no one came to Talk to us about the issues I felt like honestly we were a number and no one cared. My 55 dollar bar menu steak came out cold and undercooked (a rare flank steak cold is like chewy jelly) we told the server and she said, I'll tell "somebody"and didn't come back- even for me to order a glass of wine. There was no manager that came to help with my cold steak, and we were never offered anything else at that point. We asked for a box for my child's meal which we never received, were never offered dessert and left feeling just kind of jilted. I understand it's first world problems too. But because you can't leave this place with out paying $200 and nobody seemed to care, I felt like a review mattered.

I've been going to Heck's and Devil's Thumb Ranch for many years and recommended it to dozens over…read morethe years, but sadly, today will be my last visit. The service and attitude of the staff, and in particular the manager was pretentious, rude and very exclusionary. The meal and dinner service also missed the mark. They implemented a new policy that apparently only allows overnight guests to use the restaurant. We had made reservations by phone weeks ago and drove two hours to visit, and they never mentioned anything until we ran into the pretentious manager at the hostess desk. He couldn't have made me and my guest feel more unwelcome. Super embarrassing after I had been talking the resort and restaurant up for days. The restaurant was also pretty much empty, so you'd think they'd welcome the business as I've spent thousands upon thousands at that resort and hosted business events there in the past. Sad to see such a beautiful place get run into the ground with poor management and service. And don't dare ask to sit outside on the beautiful patio.... Apparently that's also not allowed these days.

The setting is an awe inspiring area of Colorado. The ranch's facilities are well done and…read morereminiscent of some "old west" charm. Staff is polite, friendly, and attentive. The food, however, is average and overpriced. So dining doesn't add much to the experience and is not a reason to visit on its own. The coffee shop on the other hand is convenient (should be open all day) with a nice variety of options; but again, keenly overpriced. ...Overpriced does not mean the dollars and cents that are charged. It means what is served is not worthy of the price.

What kept me from giving it five stars: This place is small. If you come with more than a few people good luck finding anywhere to sit. The soup was lukewarm. It was 22 degree and snowing on the side of a mountain, we need HOT soup! My advice to get to five stars: bump up the heat on those soups and serve some cornbread with the soup. The crackers were fine but we didn't even think about eating the slider buns you offered.

I was full halfway through, but it was so tastyI couldn't stop eating until my plate wad clean. The vibe of this place is laid-back and very welcoming. The high ceiling and general decor is casual and comfy. There is also outdoor seating available. I can't leave this place a review without commenting on how cool and friendly everyone who works there has been. They have a way of making you feel like you are an old friend who just happened to stop by.
