    Burger bowl with no cheese
    Emery F.

    Food was so good! I ordered the burger bowl with no cheese and honey mustard dressing and it was a huge serving and so filling. The sweet potato fries were super crispy and yummy. Everybody I was with enjoyed their burgers as well. The indoor vibe is quirky with the decor and the outdoor seating is a great option to feel less cramped. The staff could have been a bit friendlier but other than that our food came quick and it was a solid stop for dinner.

    Outstanding food...it Hits! The staff is awesome...Dusty and Layla will hook you up with kindness and a cold drink! Its a must go to place....eat the twilight burger and definitely try the portable mushrooms....WOW!!

    Phenomenal burgers and phenomenal service. This is such a cool unique spot! First off, everyone at our table loved their burgers. Speaking for mine specifically, the potato bun was perfectly soft and the burger was cooked exactly how I like it. The bacon was the perfect level of crunchy but not cracking apart and thick but not too thick. I also have to give an extra shoutout that when we asked for ranch they loaded it up and weren't skimpy at all and nowadays with so many spots charging $3 for half a tiny cup of ranch, I was very pleasantly surprised! Our server was very friendly and had great recommendations. My personal rec would be to get the curly fries instead of the truffle (unless you really like truffle oil)

    Did I have to take a tums after eating this meal? Yes. Was it worth it? Absolutely. We ended up here for a late lunch after a soak at Strawberry Park Hot Springs in late October. I had the mushroom Swiss Umami burger and was very happy. I did ask to add sautéed onions to it and they did that plus kept the raw onions on it, which I thought was kind of weird, but I guess I should've specified. Just picked those raw ones off though. My husband enjoyed his bison burger. The menu options are so fun and unique, albeit a bit pricey for burgers but they are good! You are in Steamboat after all. We sat on the patio and had good and friendly service, despite them being quite busy with a few large tables. We waited a while for the "special sauce" to come back to us for our fries but it never came in time so we just ate and enjoyed our sides with ketchup. I would come here again if I'm back in Steamboat and craving a burger and a casual spot!

    Busy - flavor full -friendly staff - iron patio furniture not comfy on the tush..but no one left unhappy.

    Dirty Harry Burger with curly fries
    Mike G.

    Feeling the need to be gluttonous, we came here tonight so I could try the Dirty Harry burger. We would've sat outside on a nice night, but there weren't tables available, so we went upstairs and sat in the bar area. We were greeted quickly and placed our order. It's a good thing the Dirty Harry is not bigger than it is as it might cause cardiac arrest. But at least you'd go out on a high note. As you'd expect with a burger served on a glazed donut with peanut butter, bacon, and everything else it's got, this thing is richer than you'd imagine. It's also more delicious than you think it'll be. My wife, not being the eating daredevil I can be at times, went with the classic burger. BORING! But she still really enjoyed it. Both curly fries and sweet potato fries were very good. The sweets might've even been better. I'm not sure how often I could eat this thing, but I wouldn't hesitate to go back to try one of the many other good looking burgers on the menu.

    Back Door Grill was a pleasant surprise. We have dined at quite a few more upscale restaurants in Steamboat which all come with a nice bill so we were happy to find a casual, burger bar, that was reasonably priced. We sat inside upstairs because it was unbearable hot outside. But they do have a lovely patio area. We sat at the bar, order drinks and burgers and before we knew it our food had arrived. These burgers were exactly what we were looking for and hit the spot - not too greasy, bun to burger ratio was on point and most of all flavorful!

    Classic  cheeseburger with an egg.
    Richard G.

    This place does burgers with perfection. A classic cheese burger with an additional 1$ egg topper is simply fantastic. The hamburger has a great beef flavor and even the single is a nice hamburger serving. Love the cocktail list and a great rotating locals beer list. Love sitting outside. Fries came out perfectly hot and crispy. Friendly service as well. Got to note a burger, fries, beer and tip was over 30.00. Guess that's the wat it is these days.

    A fun place with great food and service! Apparently there is an upper floor with more seating but we sat on the main level and it was packed pretty tight. Lots of people in a small space meant it was a little loud but it has a great fun vibe. The service was wonderful and quick. The food was really good! Try the blue burger- yum! My husband had the Philly sandwich and it was huge! He said it was great! I also loved that it's not on the Main Street through town and it has a parking lot. That's hard to find in this area. Also the walls are COVERED in dollar bills. So cool!

    Twilight Zone Burger with fries and an extra patty
    Trung T.

    Wowww...this burger place was definitely worth it!! Decided to give the Twilight Zone a try after our server recommended it particularly because of the peanut butter sauce! I was skeptical, but it paired so well with the burger meat, cheddar and bacon! I also opted for a second patty, but that was unnecessary since these burger patties are already very thick. Our server was awesome and we were well taken care of. The dining room was very tight, but tables got freed up pretty quickly. They have a virtual Yelp wait list that you can join from your phone and our wait wasn't bad at all. The ambiance is very cool too with dollar bills all over the walls and multiple TVs on with sports on. You can even ask for markers and a stapler so you can add your own dollar! Definitely recommend coming here!

    Boneless Buffalo Wings
    Gelin Cara T.

    Really craved some wings on a Saturday night in Steamboat (mind you, a Saturday of PRESIDENT'S DAY WEEKEND in Steamboat AFTER A SNOW STORM!). It was BUSY! But surprisingly, my party of 4 was able to get a table downstairs in just about 30 minutes. That is incredibly quick considering how small the place is. AMBIANCE - Small but cool! You have the choice to go to the bar upstairs, or the sit-down restaurant like downstairs. We did the latter. We wanted to make sure we were going to a place that had TVs playing the USA vs. CAN NHL game and boy, we chose the right spot! They had multiple TVs on each wall! So every seat had a few of the game! IT's a really cool spot too because the walls are plastered with dollar bills left by guests. Also, I think they have a window outside for takeout orders. FOOD - Wings and burgers were the best! The burger menu was impressive and the taste was even better. Very creative stuff. Wings were cooked perfectly as well and hit the spot for my craving. SERVICE - Very friendly people all around! They checked up on us frequently and there are no complaints whatsoever! PARKING - They do have a lot of spots available in the parking lot. Not a problem finding parking! I totally recommend this spot to anyone visiting Steamboat and want a unique spot to get good wings and burgers.

    Had the Dirty Harry burger! Let me say, Peanut butter on a cheeseburger is the new what's up? Seriously, the donut and the difference in flavors. It makes a fire burger. Don't be scared.

    Meeting friends in Steamboat Springs for a wedding weekend and thought Besame looked like a great…read morechoice for a relaxing evening and good food. Reservations are a must and the vibe was intimate with low ceilings and dim lighting. Spacing between tables was generous and the noise level was low enough for conversations. It appears that we are in store for a nice evening. We elected to try the tapas dishes and share as we get a better variety and chance to sample many different selections. We started with the croquetas de jamon. The croquetas were light, airy and uncious with a hint of the jamon. The betabel tostada was the blue ribbon winner tonight. The pickled beets were finely chopped, great homemade beet and masa tostada, black bean puree, chili oil, dill, chive, lemon, jalapenos, pepitas and queso fresco. The flavor profile was nailed. My only concern was trying to cut the tostada into four pieces was impossible and caused us to destroy the masterpiece. The combination though was perfect. The sweet plantains were equally flavorful and a must try. The grilled short rib with sweet potato puree, demi glace, crispy Peruvian potatoes, aji amarillo and a cilantro gel was delicious, but the short rib was microscopic. Our final selection was the camerones in garlic, lemon, lobster butter, oregano, smoked paprika and chive oil. The shrimp were overcooked and extremely rubbery, while we fought for the sauce with grilled bread. Besame was our favorite dining experience in Steamboat Spring. The seating and ambiance coupled with the food made the evening extra special. To Besame, great job overall.

    Besame is one of my most frequented restaurants in Steamboat and is consistently good every time…read more The food, service, and atmosphere always make it an easy choice, and their happy hour (30% off tapas from 4:00-5:30) is a great bonus. This visit, we ordered the Watermelon Gazpacho (GF), Beef Short Rib Anticucho (GF), and Ensalada de Manzana y Manchego (GF). The Beef Short Rib Anticucho was the star of the meal, at least for me, I honestly wanted more because it was so good! The salad was also delicious and, while definitely more apple-heavy than greens, they were happy to accommodate my request for extra greens. My only criticism is that the menu doesn't mention the compressed watermelon in the gazpacho is infused with sangria. As someone who no longer drinks alcohol, I could definitely taste it and wish that had been disclosed on the menu. Overall, Besame remains one of my favorite spots in Steamboat. Consistently great food, great service, and always a solid dining experience.
