    BLD and fries.
    Vince L.

    We have always had good service and good food. We go there for a lot of games that we can't stream and get at home. They have always been willing to change a TV if the game isn't already live. The food is good and filling. Nice size portions. The staff is always polite and friendly. We never have a glass go to close to empty and empty plates do not survive long. Locals like it and so will you. Stop by for a treat!

    I stopped by here to pick up some food after a full day of hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park. Downtown Estes Park had a lot of traffic and construction going on, so I was looking for something on the outskirts of town to grab a bite. Cousin Pat's Pub & Grill had a nice vibe to it. I sat in the bar area and watched a game while waiting for my food. I ordered the Slopper with Chicken which is a chicken breast smothered in a sauce. I brought my food back to my hotel and enjoyed having a hot meal after my long day.

    Of course I would recommend this place. My husband and I come almost weekly and Pat the owner is just an awesome guy w a great restaurant with great food and a great welcoming atmosphere. It has a mixture of some Colorado vibes along with some beach vibes which makes it perfect! I'm sure I have some pics of over the last few visits of what I have ate. I usually get the Dante's red wine to drink which is my favorite along with a pickle shot lol I know weird combination lol but yummy! I have had almost all the apps and a few that are my favorite is the chips and salsa, buffalo wings (our fav fav) it's so spicy and we love it along w the house ranch that is my favorite because it's so creamy and has the perfect ranch taste! We also have had the mozzarella sticks another fav because it's so crispy and the cheese is actually the cheesy pull away cheese. Sometimes mozzarella sticks are also a hit or miss. But pats are great I have also had many side salads which I always end up eating two cause they're always so fresh and so good. It comes with cucumber, tomatoes, croutons and red onions and of course the lettuce which is romaine. I have also had the Cobb salad and it literally comes with everything but the kitchen sink. It's so huge as well. For main entrees I have had grilled cheese and fries (the fries I always get especially as an appetizer) they're the best fries ever. The grilled cheese was sooooo good. I have also had the house made tomatoe creamy bisque and that is my favorite to dip my grilled cheese in . I also have had the ham club again it was so delicious. On a toasted white bread with ham onions cheese mayo a few other things I can't remember. But again all fresh!! I've had so much more but off the top of my head that's what I remember. He also has two sides. One is a more formal dining and the other side is bar seating and some table seating. We always like the bar. He also has an upstairs kind of room with pool tables and so often singers come to preform. Overall I love pats and is the only place I truly go to that is in Estes where you feel truly welcomed. Wish I could give it a 10 stars

    Cobb salad?! Just lettuce and tomatoes with a few pcs of avocado! Missing all the other ingredients like chicken, corn, boiled egg!

    I got a Cobb salad to go without bacon and ham. What I got was lettuce with avocado and cherry tomatoes! See the picture attached. What about the rest of the ingredients- chicken, corn, boiled egg, spinach? Paid $12.50 for this?? I could've bought a salad bag from Safeway for a fourth of the price! We also got wings and pizza both were a complete miss! We all decided Mc Donald's would've been a better option for dinner in Estes park instead of going here.

    This was the only joint in town open on a Friday night in early March that still serves food and would allow us in with our pup! Dani was our server and her customer service was the best! The wife and I kept it simple; I ordered a Philly Cheese steak and she had the house cheeseburger and they were both delish! The little bar/restaurant played modern country in the background. It has the great ambiance of a locals bar, perfect for Estes Park! We finished off the evening with some fresh Elk droppings! (Chocolate donut holes that you dip in caramel sauce). The elk droppings christened us and reminded us once again we were true Coloradans. So if your looking for a friendly place to eat late in the evening when the other restaurants turn you away, make sure to check this place out!

    Food was okay. The portion size was a bit ridiculous this is what we got for a 17.00 sandwich, felt like a big waste of money honestly. Service was mediocre at best. Won't return.

    Went looking for something opened late to grab food after visiting the observatory (almost 11pm). This was the only opened place still serving food so I was prepared for some mediocre stuff from a bar but was pleasantly surprised. The food came out fresh and delicious. Our waiter was really awesome too.

My Hogback Sour Cocktail was over the moon. Made from bourbon, lemon, simple syrup, egg white, and Cabernet float. The unique blend made a great drink. I wanted more, but held back because we were hiking later. My wife's traditional slightly dirty martini was perfectly made as well. We started with the homemade chips and dip. Nice crispy chips with beautiful fresh made onion dip. Next came the Pheasant soup. I wanted to lick the bowl clean, it was so yummy. The main course for me was the carnivore plate with elk, filet, sausage, and broccoli/shallots. The elk meat was the star on my plate. Having that next to the filet mignon allowed me to taste test them in real time. The Elk meat won hands down. Not even close in my opinion. The sausage was packed with wonderful flavors, but after a few bites overwhelmed my palette. My wife had the Creamy Potato Gnocchi Bowl. We both shared each other's dishes. She loved the Elk Meat. I really enjoyed the Gnocchi, and wished it could be a side dish to my Elk meat. Service was great with Elizabeth checking on us at the right times. Tip: Ask for the postcard and the restaurant will send it out for you after you fill it out. Tip: the restaurant fills up quickly, so call ahead and get a reservation.

    The beer was so nice I ordered the same one twice!…read more I put in 20 miles hiking Rocky Mountain National Park in a day a half. I slept about 4 hours the night before to make it early for sunrise. To say that a few tasty beers were what the doctor ordered would be the understatement of the century! None of this matters, of course, to the good folks at Rocky Cut Brewing Company. This is off the main drag of Estes in an unassuming strip plaza. Humble vibes inside, a simple U-shaped bar top with seating all around, a few smaller tables, a community table, and a large patio with mostly picnic table seating. If you're lucky, snag a stool right along the Big Thompson River! Though, I recommend they fix the wooden placeholders for beers, they're leaning on the wrong side of history, we don't want any full glasses of beer reaching an unnecessary demise! Interference IPA * American IPA * 6.7% * 16oz ($7) From their website: "Climbing the Interference Boulder in Rocky Mountain National Park requires strength and power. This Colorado IPA showcases the power of hops with an intense blend forging citrus aromas with a pine forward finish. Featured ingredients: Cascade, El Dorado, Mosaic, Chinook, & Simcoe hops * Recommended adventure: hiking Black Lake, climbing the Twin Owls, skiing upper Hidden Valley." A perfectly apt description. I would summarize this beer just as they did, focusing on hops, citrus, and pine. Absolutely delicious, a memorable IPA in recent memory. I liked it so much I ordered it again and it tasted just as delicious the second time down! They also had a food truck outside, so safe to assume they do this often. Would love to try more of their beers during my next visit. Rock Cut, I see you!

    We decided to try Antlers Rooftop Tavern because we were excited about the rooftop views…read more Our server, Eren, was friendly, attentive, and made sure we were taken care of throughout our visit. There were a couple of mix-ups with our order, including Mezcal which has a very distinct taste accidentally being added to my margarita, and some incorrect side dishes but the staff handled everything quickly and professionally. Since the restaurant had only recently reopened with a new menu, the mistakes were understandable. I ordered the Smashburger with fries, and my friend had the chicken fajita sandwich with a salad. The food was delicious, and the prices were reasonable for the area. The rooftop offers beautiful views of Estes Park and is conveniently located right in the shopping district. The only downside was the orange barrier coverings around parts of the rooftop while renovations were being completed. They blocked some of the views and took away a bit of the ambiance. Once those renovations are finished, this will be an even better spot. Great food, attentive service, and a fantastic location, I would definitely visit again once the renovations are completed.

    TLDR: There was a large piece of plastic and a bone from the meat in my food…read more Service: Me and my friend were really excited for this place but the food was extremely mid. We sat down and about 10 minutes later, a couple sat behind us and our waitress visited and brought water to their table first instead of ours. In addition, another couple behind us was not seen by any waiter/waitress and had to ask a worker (who might have been an assistant manager? Although, not clear what his position was) if they can order with him. Overall service felt scattered, a bit slow overall, and unprofessional. Food: I ordered the tex mex bowl with barbacoa. It tasted as expected, nothing spectacular. However, there was a massive piece of plastic in my food. I let the waitress know and she apologized on behalf of the kitchen. I kept the meal because I hate waste and I didn't see any other plastic pieces in the food. Right after I found the plastic, I also discovered a bone in the meat. It was big enough to hurt a tooth if I had bit down on it but thankfully I spit it out before I chewed my food completely. While a bone might be normal to find in meat, I was certainly unhappy that now two objects were in this food. I was never comped for my meal and the manager never visited my table to apologize. I only write reviews if I had a fantastic experience or when I feel the need to warn others about the restaurant. I recommend choosing another restaurant before choosing this one if you prefer quality food and service.
