    Another small town, let's Yelp it, choice. And this is a legit small town. Not much cell service to even help us get there, lol. But, The Dean West.... a fabulous place to stop in to. We sat at the bar in The Dean West - not to be confused with the distillery bar as you walk into the building. Turns out the Grand Adventure Brewery (GAB) is also housed here..... and if you're already thinking like me, this means there are plentiful options for craft cocktails, craft beer and then your regular selections. FTW. And, if we weren't driving so far through winding mountain roads, we would've taken the distillery bartender up on the offer of to go craft cocktails. We did sample an amazing drink she had just created as we walked in. Heck out the pic and her fabulous smile. Our dinner? So good. Way above our expectations, honestly. It's always hit and miss with small towns, even with Yelp, so this was such a nice surprise. He had the dry rub wings with ranch along with a bowl of green chili and I had the GOAT burger with sweet potato fries. We had several GAB beer samplers as we narrowed down our orders. The beer tender was amazing, friendly and offered samples unexpectedly to help us fine tune our drinks. Besides that both our food orders were on point flavor wise and cooked to order, the staff were super friendly and personable. If we lived close by, THIS would be a staple for hanging out. We laughed and joked with everyone, as if we'd known them forever. Great experience.

    Great restaurant find in an small town.

    Food was exceptional. Service was a little slow, but they were busy. We didn't mind waiting. Love the industrial look from the distillery and brewery. Owner and waitress were friendly.

    Fish and chips

    Fried fish was delish. They had a unique tartar sauce which was kinda ranchy/dilly which was so good. I couldn't decide between chips and fries so they gave me some of each which was perfect! Kids tried homemade ginger beer which was nice and gingery!

    Green Chile

    Always on the post on FB with amazing looking plates of the day. Finally got a chance to stop here in Kremmling and try the Dean West. Order Green Chili and full rack of naked ribs. Green chili had a weird flavor, I believe it was a lot of cumin. I hate cumin in my food, so it is my tongue. The ribs had no salt, flavor, season, or whatever you need to add. I guess it is also my fault for asking them naked. 5 Stars for their homemade ginger root beer, awesome drink.

    The drinks are fabulous!!

    This place was an unexpected stop but I'm so glad we did!!! The service from the minute we walked in was refreshing. We were offered sampling's after we got settled in and the bartender Jen was a delight and so helpful. The food was delicious and, I mean... go ahead and get the adult grilled cheese and just forget your diet. IT IS WORTH IT, I PROMISE!

    Side salad
    Holly M.

    It's our first time(and restaurant) in CO and we stopped at this little place to eat(late July). The menu was simple, the prices were decent esp for the kids meals. The food was good, the drinks were ok(we had Moscow mules). The beer was a better choice of drink. We sat outside near the wall and the grass was so tall it was uncomfortable to sit on, and quite unusual for a restaurant. It was tickling my legs though the whole meal, but it was the only area that was completely in the shade. They could do with a bug treatment too but I can't complain too much about it since it was indeed outside. The waitress was from Chicago, not very knowledgeable about the drinks but she was attentive throughout and very nice. The 2 younger ladies that brought food out were nice but one had on a crop top with her belly out, not something I normally see in a restaurant. Being the mother of a pre teen boy, it's not something I appreciated to see in a professional setting. There is a small playground and sandbox that kept the younger kids occupied. The yard was fenced poorly but it kept my 2yo in. Overall the experience was alright. We liked the food and that's what we were there for.

    Fried chicken sandwich, A++!

    Stop at this place! I had THE best fried chicken sandwich and fries here. Perfectly cooked, crispy, juicy, and flavorful perfect fries. I don't know what the chef did, but it was simply excellent. My brother had the pulled pork and the plate was licked clean. Great service and cute outdoor seating too. What a gem of a place! Wish I lived closer so I could come more often.

    Flight!!

    Wow what a find. Beers are fabulous and the outdoor area is great for our pup and a kid play set. Beautiful location and the staff is super friendly.

    En route to Steamboat Springs and needing a quick break from the monotonous four hour drive, I…read moredecided to make a quick stop in Kremmling and grab a quick brew at Grand Adventure Brewing! SPACE/ATMOSPHERE: You can tell that the space was definitely a bar in it's previous life. Inside it's cozy like a hunters cabin. There's a pool table, wood burning stove, and a few mounts on the walls. I chose to cozy up to the bar, so I could chat a bit with the beertender during my visit. BREWS: I opted to sip on the Katie Says (a chokecherry honey wine) during my visit. This 12% ABV mead is def a sold brew and the nitro makes it super smooth and it had zero cough-medicine-esque notes. The chokecherries are locally sourced from the very own yard too! How fun! They have a small variety of every brew style available and a handful of guest taps too. SERVICE: The beertender working was super helpful and friendly as I browsed the tap list. She offered to answer any questions I had and brought over a food menu to in case I was craving something more substantial with my beverage. EATS: They share a space with The Dean West Restaurant and Brewstillery, so they do offer a variety of eats out of the from scratch kitchen. From burgers and sandwiches, to appetizers - they definitely have you covered. I find myself driving through Kremmling a few times a year and would gladly make a stop to see what new things Grand Adventure Brewing Company is brewing up! Cheers, Kremmling!

    For a brewery we we're expecting a little more but the experience overall was fine. They were very…read morebusy. There was a wait for tables, which is good for the business. There was one bar tender and maybe two servers for the whole place. So to be fair the bar tender was busy but it was a long wait for our drinks. We didn't get our first beer until the food came. As for the food.. I totally understand that the market is high right now for food. But, over $20 for 1lb of wings with sauce that was not good seems steep. The wings were small. The Buffalo sauce tasted like sweet baby rays. It was not my favorite but a whole lot better than the Parmesan garlic sauce. I would not over the parm garlic sauce. ‍ I'm not sure what it was but it did not taste like garlic or park at all. It tasted like melted butter on chicken. On a $60 bill I would've hope the food was better. Most of the beer, from what I saw, was not made at this brewery. The Breckenridge Juicy Drop was the home run for me.

The owner Phillip was drinking a Guinness at the bar when we arrived with his back to the door. No welcome. Just told us to sit anywhere. Turns out the whole family works there. Met the daughter Grace while perusing the menu. Not a lot of options but we tried the chicken wings with pints of Outlaw lager beer. Both were fairly tasty. Looking around at the tiny place made me think of a cozy little British pub. The tunes playing in the background were pleasant. The owner told us his story about buying the business and how his family worked there. Saturday afternoon had only three family members as the wife was out. As sweet as his daughter was, she was far too talkative to patrons and fairly ignored the two groups of people who came inside and sat down. Her dad was in the back washing dishes and we still waited 10 minutes to order our main dish. The other patrons even got up to look in back to see if anyone was working there because they were ignored. About ten minutes later the owner came around the corner but Daughter was still gossiping outside. He scurried around. We split the fish and chips between the two of us as well as the salad. I was not impressed with the food. The small pieces of battered fish were decent but the overcooked fries and the salad were NOT good. I was bummed. It's like they realize the fish portions are small and they overcompensate with too many fries. I really wanted to like the place. The salad dressing came in store bought packets. Bottom line; only come for the beer and you will be happy.
