    This restaurant was so good. Our waitress was great and the food even better. Love the vibe and the decorations. This an absolute must go. Thank you to Golden and all the great people.

    Smoked meat poutine.

    Poutine, burgers, local beers, outdoor seating, salads, soups and so much more await you at Wolf's Den! We sat outside on a summer (mid June) evening and enjoyed the view of the mountains and the delicious food prepared by the Wolf's Den. (We missed Sunday night love music but glad we made it by on a Monday night to eat outside). The server was friendly and attentive. Everything we ordered on the menu was made perfectly! The assortment of poutine grabbed our attention and we shared an order of the original poutine. Very unique and creative menu choices and all were delicious! We ordered The Terminator, Grilled chicken Ceasar salad, Beef and Barley "soup of the day", the meatballs, and smoked meat poutine.

    Looking for something to warm me up on a rainy weeknight and The Wolf's Den was just the ticket. The place was pretty full, but I was able to find a chair at the bar where I was warmly greeted by the friendly staff. I ordered Poutine with Montreal Smoked Meat (I had never heard of it before, but apparently it's a common regional food similar to pastrami, though less fatty), plus Chipotle Tomato Soup. The portions are huge - way too much food! But they are happy to provide to-go containers. And both were so good!

    On my first full night in Golden, I went here, and I was absolutely starving after a good day of skiing at Kickinghorse. I found the food to be excellent. I had steak and lobster. It's generally hard to complain about that but I got to be honest it was done very perfect. The server was absolutely awesome too and very friendly. I enjoyed my time so much that I went back a few nights later . It's a warm, cosy atmosphere and seems to be a pretty popular spot. If you go make sure you bring some cash because he will want to sign it and staple it to the wall.

    Cinnamon cheesecake. Super tasty

    Food was so good, filling, and super tasty. Ambient inside is very lady back country style with these wacky cowboy songs. Food was delivered fast and our server gave us good suggestions and was ultra friendly. Thank you Cory!!!! I highly recommend trying out this place if you're in the area.

    Hogs Heaven Poutine with smoked pork, BBQ sauce, bacon, green onion, cheese curds and gravy.  Divine!

    This was a great dining experience! We got the Hog Heaven poutine and mixed salad and it was outstanding! Service was SO friendly by our sweet waitress. The atmosphere of the restaurant was also very fun. We will return next time we are in Golden! Highly recommended.

    Great place. We had the bison ribs which were a popular choice. Service is friendly and fast. It's packed so the place is loud.

    Called to make a reservation the day of. Got seated within 5 min of our arrival…read more Service was friendly and this place has good vibes. Was hoping to get there early enough for their early dinner special which looks like a fantastic deal but forgot Golden is on MST so our arrival was actually an hour later than we thought. Started with the sticky ribs which were good but not fall off the bone tender. Also having it served with tortilla chips was weird bc there's nothing to dip the tortilla chips in. Got the sirloin steak with seasonal veggies, mashed potatoes and garlic sauce. There was a sweetness to the sauce which I found interesting. The steak was cooked well and tender. My friend got the cannelloni which was filled with veggies, sausage and cheese. It was served piping hot and he enjoyed his dish as well. We would return

Came across this restaurant and decided to give it a try and I'm so glad we did! Their first hour they have meal deals which were really worth it! The restaurant was really fancy looking much more than I expected. We ordered: 1. Pork Kim Chi Pot stickers: These were just okay. Kind of tasted like it was from a package and just boiled and headed up to serve and not as much hand made there. 2. The dragon plate over pasta: Holy crap this was SOOOO GOOD! The waitress was so amazing and recommended we get the dragon plate over something instead like pasta because it soaks up the sauce better and she was so right! The sauce was amazing I wish I had bread to soak it up. There was so much seafood and it was so fresh. The quality of the seafood was also amazing. 3. House daily pasta with chicken: Super good and perfectly good chicken. The sauce was also amazing with this. My wife ordered this so she ate most of it but I liked it a lot. 4. Cookies and cream cheese cake: Exactly as you'd expect it to taste. Rich cheesecake and nice crunches from the oreo. Overall, we had such a great experience here. It was easily the best thing we ate on our banff trip. The waitress was sooooo nice and gave us such excellent recommendations. We were so lucky to have randomly come across this place on Yelp and that they opened right when we got there. This is a must try restaurant.

We ordered the smoked sausage with fries (husband) and pulled pork with baked potato (me). Both came with a vegetable which was corn on the cob - husband's favorite. Food came in a reasonable amount of time - hot and good. French fries tasted fresh, as if they were made here - not frozen. Sausage (not too spicy, but tasty), corn, and baked potato were all good. Pulled pork was different from Southern BBQ, but just as good. It tasted especially good with the regular signature BBQ sauce. The decor is outdoorsy, with bear & elk crossing signs. A bar sits close to the dining area. The dining area is cozy, with 4 tables for four, and two tables for two by the windows, under the TVs. By the way, bull riding was on the other TV. Music was bluesy. If you prefer eating outside, there are 3 picnic tables. I think we were sitting in the bar area as we saw a larger dining area on the other side of the bar, but we were comfortable where we were. The bathrooms are in the back, near the pool & hot tub for the attached hotel. It is your basic women's room - 2 stalls, 2 sinks, soap and paper towels. We were only in town for one night, so we could not return. If you live in Golden, or are coming to Golden, and you have a desire to eat BBQ, eat here. You'll enjoy a good meal, reasonably priced, with friendly service.

My friend ordered the spicy chicken wrap also with a caeser salad and she had nothing but good things to say about. We ate every last bite. We started asking our server what we should do for the day, he's the one who suggested the hike, he also told us that if we buy a specific pass we can go up 7700 feet hike the mountain AND visit the grizzly bear refuge and meet Boo the bear. He gave us a story of Boo and then told us to have a drink at the restaurant on the mountain which is the highest restaurant in Canada. Our entire day was set by that meal. Great hospitality and great meal. Come here for the food and ask them what you should do for the day.

    Ambiance: This place has a nice wood cabin feel with friendly staff who liked to make small talk…read more The main detractor was that the first table they brought us to by the window had a literal dozen flies but they moved us to the opposite side of the restaurant and we had no further issues. The place was pretty empty during brunch time and food took a moderate amount of time to come out but was hot and fresh. Food: My wife had the island bowl which had two poached eggs, veges, avocado and a hollandaise sauce which was lighter but clean and flavorful. I had the Reuben sandwich which was quite good. The corned beef was sliced thin and tender. The 1:1 ratio of meat to kraut was good and the bread had a nice crispy toast to it. The star of the table, however, were the hand cut fries. They were very crispy, not too oily, and perfectly seasoned. Overall, this was pretty solid. Even at our cabin in Golden we have a ton of bug pressure so I kind of cut this place some slack, the restaurant itself was otherwise clean but I understand this might bother other people too much. If you're looking to switch up your brunch rotation I would at least consider this place.
