    Their "happy hour" - the best in town!!
    Marcy B.

    This place is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! we especially LOVE their happy hour as it is the BEST in town!! 1/2 off apps, $10 for more than 1/2 their cocktails, $11 hot chicken sandwich. Literally does not get better than this. We will be regulars for sure

    Reasonably priced restaurant for Aspen with creative cocktails, healthy food options, and a well-priced happy hour

    We came here on December 31 so I don't want to be too harsh in this review, but overall it was not our favorite dining experience. A lot of the items on the menu were not available and the service was slow. Appetizers and entrees that we were able to get tasted bland and incomplete. This place is pretty new so I'm hoping they get better with more experience. Will check it out again next year.

    Dinner at Boat Tow

    Another great evening at Boat Tow. This restaurant should not be missed. One of the best in Aspen. Cannot wait until the next time.

    The food here was so good! The Haus Tots and Fish Tacos were delicious. It is super casual, and our waitress was very friendly.

The crispy chicken sandwich is honestly one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Perfectly crispy, juicy, and balanced with just the right amount of heat. The kale salad and fries were also excellent, and everything came out quickly despite how busy the place was. The service was upbeat and welcoming, and the whole experience felt effortless. If you want a fun, laid-back lunch or dinner in Aspen without sacrificing quality, this is absolutely the place.

The service was wonderful, we got our food very quickly, and the ambiance was adorable. A little loud but nothing too crazy. The food itself was fine. We ordered the duo dip, French fries, the French dip, and the chicken sandwich. The guac and the other dip were really good and we loved the chips too. The fries are pretty much what you'd expect, except once they got to room temperature they became super hard and not very edible. My husband said the French dip meat was good and tender, pretty good flavor overall. I had the chicken sandwich which was huge! They split the sandwich into three wedges and I could only finish two. I liked the texture of the chicken was nice and I liked the slaw on it, however, the flavor overall was kind of lacking. I would say it was a bit overhyped. Overall, it was a nice experience for a decent price and I'm glad we went. Would we go back? Probably.

I called them at 8:30 and they said kitchen is open till 9pm which was fair. We got there at 8:50pm and the hostess looked over to someone who looked like the shift manager and she said "sorry the kitchen is closed". I did not feel like arguing so we just decided to have some pizzas and drinks. That was a big mistake. I ordered what looked like a calzone (pizza that is wrapped) and it was the saltiest dish I've tried. Again we were trying to be mindful and too nice but I think we just went too far for being too nice. I then ordered the other pizza and it was honestly quite mediocre. The waiter was really nice and that's why I'm giving it 1 star otherwise it would be zero for us. They weren't even willing to provide salad. Come on! You can't even make salad in your kitchen? That was just ridiculous. And believe it or not, we had amazing food in every other restaurant we tried in Aspen so this was certainly a one off. My suggestion to the management team is to be honest about your the last call from your kitchen. If you close at 10pm and your kitchen runs till 9pm, you ought to be able to take orders till 9pm. Otherwise, be upfront and shot down kitchen at 8:30pm. Quite disappointed and not even sure if I would ever want to give this place a try.
