We shared a 3 meat platter with cornbread muffin and 2 sides. The meat was buffalo rib, Carolina pulled pork, brisket. Ive never liked brisket..too fatty.. this was a first. We loved the brisket... so tender and lean. Buffalo rib ... we didn't like .too fatty and the texture was off. Got green beans and corn bake ... we didn't like either. Cornbread muffin and brisket were both yummm .

After spending the day in the park hiking we did the great Tour of the Stanley, highly recommend, and then went to the bar for a drink. The bartenders were amazing, the drinks were suburb, I had Bloody Marys, the best, and my husband drank a few of the 100âs of choices of whiskies. Met some great people, so fun!

My wife and I had dinner one night at Grubsteak while staying in Estes Park. We wanted to eat some game food while here and Grubsteak did not disappoint. I had a burger and my wife had the wild game meatloaf and everything was delicious. They have a good selection of beers and the service was friendly. Nice outdoor patio too. Good place for wild game in Estes Park; we would definitely eat here again.

Went here to watch Vikings vs Eagles game.My son and I rooting for Vikes and my daughter's boyfriend, an Eagle fan.We sat in an extremely comfortable corner and they put the game on right in front of us! Thank you for that!!!Our server Mason was from Minnesota, so we hit it off right away.The beers served there on tap were excellent and perfectly chilled!We ordered the Rocky Mountain Poutine.It was really good. It consists of tator tots, which to me, seemed made from scratch. Pepper Jack cheese curds, Elk jalapeno sausage, gravy, pork green chili and fried egg! We chowed it down!In all, it was a great experience and will definitely come back.Great service, excellent beer, delicious food.Hello earthtravel2007, Thank you for taking the time to share this great review!

We stumbled upon this place and are glad we did. Nice little outdoor space and the food was very good! Great service and nice variety of beers to choose from. Really enjoyed the beef stroganoff and would order it again. The burgers are very good too. Next time we'll try the tacos as the folks near us ordered some and said both varieties were excellent. A good reason to go back!Thank you for leaving us a wonderful review! We are so thrilled you enjoyed the beef stroganoff, burgers, beer, and excellent service. We can't wait to have you back again!

Food was tasty and hot - not Tex-Mex, but that is OK for Colorado. Service is generally solid, but they can get very busy. We travel to Estes Park once a year and eat here at least once depending on the length of stay. Recommend it. Burrito and Buffalo tacos were very good. Tea was fresh, beer cold.We're so glad that you enjoyed your experience! Thank you for the review.

I love trying BBQ joints, and Dave's did not disappoint. Lively setting and crowd. We got the smoked ribs and brisket. One of us had the ribs adding the sauces at the table, and I just ate them as served. Very nicely done. For me, the best brisket I ever had was at Dave's. A really great smoked meat. Very juicy too. The sides were nice as well. If I lived in the area, I would be here a couple times a month, the food was so good. Reasonable prices too.
