Stopped here to get out of a huge rainstorm because, well, they have beer. We tried 2 ipas and both were good. The real treat was the shrimp and crawfish etouffee we shared. It had the right amount of spice and lots of meat. Really some of the best we've ever had. The only thing that would have made it better was if it was served with a crusty piece of bread instead of saltine crackers. read more

Oskar Blues Grill & Brew - The outside - Burgers Near Me - Lyons, Colorado

4 stars for the OB burger 1 star for the service While we recognize Covid restrictions can make things difficult .... The policy of having one line for food and drink service is ridiculous. My burger was delicious but considering the jalapeños I would have loved to have another beer but couldn't because I'd have to get in the same ridiculously long line we waited in for food , which would have meant having cold food upon my return Our recommendation - 2 lines one for food one for beverage only . read more

We enjoyed another fantastic lunch at Oskar Blues yesterday! Service was awesome as usual. We loved the Silo Burger, Salmon Salad and the Caesar Salad. All delicious! Great on tap beer selection as well! Highly recommend! read more

I thought this place was supposed to be fun. According to the recent reviews it musta gone downhill. We stopped on the way back to Erie from Allenspark because we were having a fun day and thought we'd grab a beer. We ordered beers and they arrived in cans. Isn't this a brewery? Why is the beer in a can and not on tap?? We could've stopped at the liquor store and had THAT experience. We just left after that 1 beer. We could tell it wasn't a good place to order food and after reading some of these other reviews, we were right. Decor was junky and bathrooms were gross, no toilet paper. Our waitress seemed burnt out and tired, not real eager to have another table, like we were bothering her. I think the only reason there was anyone there at all is that it's the only bar in town, that we saw, anyway. Why else would you bother? I'm guessing everyone else was there for the first time like we were, because I can't imagine being a return patron. You'd have to have zero class and zero standards to think this place was worthy of your time and money. Lyons needs more choices. It's such a cool town but zero hospitality is just weird. I've always heard that Lyons locals hate newcomers, so maybe this is their way of keeping people away. Welp, it worked! We definitely won't be stopping here again! It must only be patronized read more

Good beer. Friendly bartenders. Great ambiance. Ordered the Interestate SMaSH Simcoe and the Nut Brown. Very delicious. Will have to go check out the Longmont location. read more

2.5 since i haven't gotten the creeping crud yet. This place needs cleaned up. Everything upstairs,especially the outside dining area is filthy. Makes you wonder about their food prep and handling. Anyway, even a after a 9.5 hr hike the food was just almost average tasting. I should've gotten that Whopper I was craving - would've been money well spent. All in all pretty lame. Rueben was average. Fries heavy and average. Service was slow. Prices were above average. The beer was very good! Will spend my time and money somewhere else next time. read more

The beer is great. The menu is very limited. Service is good. The ambience is funky.

Good food. We had fried pickles that were great. Salads, fish and chips, chicken, and salmon were all good. read more

Absolutely the best overall package of drinks, food and service. As others have pointed out, Oskar Blues was the first to put premium beer in a can and to do so for all of the right reasons (keeps the beer fresh in an economical and environmentally sound packaging). It's hard for me to go any significant amount of time without enjoying a tasty Dales. So here we found ourselves driving up to Lyons on a Friday night to celebrate a birthday. My only complaint from the night was a really long wait to seat our 3-top. It was ridiculously long (& annoying to see large parties get seated ahead of us). But, once we finally got our table, our server was friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. We ordered an appetizer of wings and girl-howdy, these wings were on fire! I don't know if you'll ever hear me say this again, but I am almost afraid that these wings were too hot. It's like train-wreck hot: you can't stop eating the dang things. They are that good. I ordered a half-slab of the ribs and we also had a pizza with everything and a side of gumbo. The ribs were smokey, meaty and drenched with just enough sauce but not too much to spoil a good thing. And their pizzas are really good. Actually I think the pizza helped to drown out the fire from the wings. Here's a safe bet: saddle up to any seat in the dining room or the bar, order a crisp, cold one and some of those wings & a pizza and be happy. They've got a real good thing going here. read more

After a big hike wanted a burger. It was the Saturday before Halloween and the small town was decorating for it and people were dressed for it as well. Looked on Yelp for place to go. First place said was open but when we got there note on door said they were not. Then went to Oskar Blues and they seated us downstairs in a very stark basic room away from main dining area. We were thinking it must have been a private party going on. This was about 2-2:30 in the afternoon. Burger and fries were fine, hit the spot. But not a great burger juicy burger. read more

Updating my review (though not my star rating, which is still holding strong at a 4) to say we actually enjoyed a proper meal at Oskar Blues and maybe my expectations were low, but I was rather pleased with the experience. We were sat right away on their upper patio, our server was attentive, the food came out quickly and I enjoyed both my beer (Blue Dream IPA) and my dinner (baja-style white fish tacos). Also, if you check in on Yelp, you can get a free "Core Beer." I totally forgot to take advantage of that offer, so don't be like me. But do give this place a try! read more

Great food and excellent beer! I knew they were great at beer... But has a delightful lunch!

A small town brewery with a big town feel. I've been familiar with Oscar Blues brews for some time now, and was excited to find the brewery! Excellent food and excellent brews. read more

Spent $50 on Etouffee, Jambalaya, and a Kid's Hamburger Meal. Unfortunately, can't say it was a well $50 spent. Etouffee was rather bland, couldn't taste much other than the fat and flour. Jambalaya was way too watery (Jambalaya should never look like soup). Hamburger was over cooked. Service was slow, and one of the waiters also spilled the Jambalaya on my husband. Nothing offered other than a quick apology. Sadly, not a restaurant I'd return to. I've been to the Oskar Blues in Longmont, which is much better. read more

Annie was a delightful pleasure to visit with. Besides as cute as she can be, she is one who can read people. Lovely soul & dedicated excellent server. Enjoyed the soup, wings and the Oskar Lagers! Wish we could buy a case to take back to KCMO ....cooz read more

Really used to like this place. Tried the patio today w my wife. Waitress was fine and timely. Note that the patio really needs a good power washing. Also had cig butts on it. You have to pour your own water...ok. But the water jug was empty. Ordered 2 beers - served timely. Ordered the $16 nachos w brisket. (Have had same several times at the Longmont store-always great.) Order came timely. But was almost 180* different and BAD compared to Longmont. Mainly the brisket. Ok sized amount but 70% of it was inedible fat, which I piled on a side plate while eating. The remainder was somewhat passable but even it was fatty. My wife refused to eat any. Overall, we ended up eating maybe half of the nachos. $16? Way overpriced for the product received. When bringing the tab, the waitress noticed the large pile of fat. We told her it wasn't her fault. She offered to take it back, but we were already done eating. She left saying that she wanted to talk to the manager. Returned in a bit with an adjusted bill; $4 taken off for "fatty discount," as stated on the new bill. The place overall needs a thorough cleaning. Maybe this was an off day? I used to love their ribs but they were so bad the last 3 times ( yeah, I gave them 3 chances) I basically stopped going. Also, I noticed today they weren't very busy but when driving by the other restaurants in town, I saw that they were packed.... I do hope they turn things around. Competition in town is tough, with other eateries serving up great fare. read more

2nd visit, and first time was a total home run. Fig & Pig flatbread totally delicious. Brisket sandwich was not Texas good, but very tasty and unique. Great service, so what more can you ask for. 2nd trip ordered the burger, shrimp poor boy and jambalaya Mac & Cheese read more

5 stars for the service but 1 star for the food quality. My husband and I have gone to Oscar Blues more times than I can count but our recent visit ( 7/15/21) will probably be our last. I ordered the brisket platter. Pretty sure it was pulled pork and fatty, tough pulled pork at that. The beer was good but not sure that's enough to bring us back. So disappointed as we really love sitting on the patio but we'll have to find another Lyons favorite. read more

Awesome experience at the OG Oskar Blues. We had the pleasure of being served by Caitlyn and she made the experience great with her friendliness, good vibes, and recommendations. After checking in, I got a free DPA, one of my favorite pale ales. The menu was great, very gluten accommodating for my GF girlfriend. She went with a Trustafarian burger with a gluten free bun. A nice perk was that the GF bun was only $1. You can find it to be upwards of $4 at some places. The burger was cooked well and had great flavor. I was in the mood for chicken and was pointed in the direction of wings, I went with the Dales Pale Ale flavor. These are up there with some of the best wings I've had. Fun vibe, people from all over coming in and looks like they have live music too. We will definitely be back when we're in the area. read more

Came here after a hike, and needed a dog friendly patio. I originally wanted a cold sandwich because it's 97 degrees outside, BUT I have been craving Cajun food for weeks and saw they have etouffee! That right there, THAT RIGHT THERE WAS SO F***ING GOOD!! I loved it. Truly hit the spot. If I were to have any complaints, I'd say the patio needs more shade and fans/misters. It's too hot outside to not have some kind of relief. Still enjoyed myself none the less! read more

We stopped here on our way up to Estes. I did not like fact you had to climb stairs to get to the hostess stand. We were seated and it took a bit for service. It continued to be spotty. I didn't have a beer because I was recovering from the previous days escapes. Everyone else got beer and they were ok. They were moderately busy on a Saturday about noon. Two of us ordered burgers, which were ok flavor wise but one of them was cold. The other two ordered the Dixie chicken sandwich. The sandwich had some wilted lettuce and a pile of overly cooked, overly seasoned, dried up small chicken finger type things. They generously included two tiny pickle slices. I did ask for more. The fries were fine. Highly disappointed in this experience. I will not be returning. read more

Made a stop here on the way home from a day trip to Rocky Mountain National Park. We had already eaten, so we just tried some beers. Loved every one we tried, especially the rosé. The server was very helpful, and was very knowledgeable about their beers and the history of their brewery. Took a star off because it's just not a clean place. The tables were sticky; you'd have to peel your arm off the read more

Went today after a hike and before my husband had to be at work. My husband ordered the special, some kind of Rueben that sounded good. I didn't time it but tables that had ordered or even arrived after us got their food before we were served. The waitress I am SURE knew that our food was late but instead of apologizing or explaining why just kept asking if we wanted more beer and pretended like nothing was happening. No, we did not want more beer! We were hungry! So unprofessional. So finally the food arrives. I didn't time it but we must of waited 40 minutes and there were maybe 5 other tables with people at them in the room! So she shows up with the food and says 'So that Ruben was the wrong special but here is today's!' And it was some crappy fried kitchen breast with Korean slaw on it! SO different than what he orderedZ And worst of all it had a giant handful of cilantro on it. Stems and all. My husband didn't even have a choice in the matter given that we didn't have time to wait for something else to be cooked. The only good thing was they put it on the house. After reading more reviews from Lyons residents, we won't be back any time soon to this location. It wasn't even that the food was that bad. Just mediocre. But dishonest servers really piss me off. read more

You don't go to Oskar Blue for food; you go there for the vibrant ambiance; nevertheless, the food is just fine. I got their pad thai fries and loved. I also got their vegetarian burgers very dry and salty. But again you don't go to Oskar Blues for healthy food. The service was fine. It was also nice to get a free beer by checking in! read more

Wowza, was this a home run experience, on every level! Celebrating our 27th anniversary, I had high hopes for a wonderful night, and our meal here exceeded them. Natalie, our server, was exceptional...one of the best I've ever had. Sunny, attentive, and experienced, she orchestrated everything beautifully, including the making of my divine lemon drop martini (at a brew pub!). We started with the sweet potato fries. Oh my, I'd return just for those! Crispy outside, pillowy sweet inside. And for dinner I had the seafood gumbo...SO GOOD! Finally, I'll comment on the atmosphere: warm, vibrant, a perfect vibe for our special night. THANK YOU Oskar Blues!!! read more

Kidding, right? Seeing that Oskar Blues had semi-good ratings - decided to go. Horrible. Just horrible. Food? Lets see - canned gravy, hot cole slaw (can you say 'food poisoning'?), cold fries and overcooked burger. Service? Sitting for a good 5 minutes or more without being even spoken to - and servers being ignorant (what part of "I didn't order a salmon club" did you not understand the first 5 times I said it?) Beer? For real? - Tasted and smelled, as my partner put it, "pee"...."cloudy pee" What can I say? Mmmmmmm....sign me up twice. read more

Overall giving a 5 for the great cuban sandwich, and I order cuban sandwiches literally every time I'm in Boise for Christmas so I think I know what I'm talking about. Also again the fried pork belly was FANTASTIC. We have many pigs and I just can not make pork belly like this. I even tried putting moisturizer lotion on the pig bellies from about the groin area up to where they would have nipples id f they we're human (like chest area). Well they seem to like it but still does not produce the taste like at this restaurant. read more

This place is famous for its Colorado Beer. It's also has food. Typical bar grub. Pizza, burgers, and sandwiches. On the way to Estes Park I stopped here. I had the Shrimp Po Boy with hush puppies. It was adequate. The roll and fixings were better then the measly shrimp provided. Overly breaded too. Great service. Great ambiance. Ample parking. read more

It seems like the more that I go to Oskar Blues the more I like it. On this round I got the Mamma's Yellow Pill ale which was served in a pilsner glass which was yummy and broke the high edged crust of a work day. For eating I got a nice big juicy hamburger since I did not feel eating very healthy on this particular day. For my side I got the Texas toothpicks which is long slices of jalapeno deep fried and oh so yummy! To top off a wonderful afternoon in Lyons I bought myself an Oskar Blues t-shirt and then went around the corner and played a pinball game at the pinball store right by! Very nice and leisurely cap off to the day! read more

I'll go 3.75 here. Oskar is always a fun place to grab a bite and hang for some live music & micro brewed suds. The atmosphere and service here is always fun. It's tough to pull off a creole them in the foothills of Colorado but they get an "A" for effort. I've eaten here 4-5 times and the food has been good to very good. The quality was off once, hopefully a fluke. I've had several of their Cajun style dishes and they were tasty. This is a great place to stop for dinner, drinks and music on your way back from the high country. Not much better than an awesome ride or hike followed up with live music, conversation & delicious micro brews. Bonus: Monday nights are All-you-can scarf Catfish, Tuesdays kids 12 & under eat free with adult meal purchase. Deal. read more

Poor service, not sure why the have a menu or a beer list nothing on it they have. Some how this is the customer fault

we have been going to OB's off and on when we drive through Lyons and have considered it a treat. So, it pains me to write a critical review. Three of us stopped in for lunch today, a Sunday. It's not at all busy. Our waiter was friendly enough and took our drink order right away. A few minutes later, he came back and took food order. Then we waited and waited, and waited while he showed the bartender stuff on his phone. We finally had to call out to get his attention, he apologized and brought the drinks at the same time our food came. My chicken Caesar salad was very good, and my husband said his smoked pork green Chile was also good. Our son's pizza was a little "doughy" in the middle. After we finished eating, we again waited and waited for him to bring our check, until my husband found the bus boy, who took care of our check and was very apologetic. It appeared our waiter was the only waiter working, however it was not at all busy. And we could hear and see him socializing with other staff and spendings time just hanging out in the wait station. It will be awhile before we try Regis place again. read more

I have grown up coming here after hiking RMNP, but it has a lot of work to get back to where it used to be. Maybe they could get some tips from Caitlin Jenner on how to get a makeover. It's not bad but it's not really great either anymore. I enjoyed my burger today and I was so hungry I got the mac n cheese as my side, which was probably the best mac n cheese I have ever had! I really recommend it, as long as you have a big appetite haha. It was really rich too, so the cup/bowl portion was actually perfect. My family also all enjoyed their entrees. The restaurant however was super, super dirty (floors, chairs) and when I went to the restroom for a second I thought I was back in a RMNP porta potty... Yuuuuck!!!! Katie our server was very sweet, even when we didn't order any beer, which is what they are famous for, or any apps. It was just a quick dinner and she was great. I would come back because it's a post-hike tradition, but they need to work on how often they tidy up. The Longmont location is so much nicer. Oh well! read more

Ive been here a few times post-hiking in the area and have never had a bad experience! If you know Oskar Blues you know what to expect - fun things on the wall, country/home-y feel, southern inspired menu, and of course great beer. My favorites on the menu are the burgers..especially the BBQ ones. Go all out and get the one with pulled pork on it. If you just hiked a 14er you deserve it! The BBQ is also very good..I usually get the platter and split with someone since its a ton of meat. This location also sometimes has a few special beers on tap that arent normally distributed out by Oskar Blues. When we went this fall they had an awesome pumpkin beer. Fair warning cell service is spotty out here though..but they do have free wifi if you need to stay connected. read more

Like most of the other reviewers, I stopped here on my way back from a hike. Our group was pretty hungry and thirsty which is probably why we quickly grew annoyed by the lack of service. When we first arrived, we went upstairs but the hostess told us there was a wait for a table and we'd have better luck downstairs since it was open seating. So, we went back down to ground level and sat down at an open table. After a little while of no service, I approach the bartender and found out that if we wanted food we had to go one more level down. So down we went and found that the very bottom floor is even more bar-like than the ground floor. It was a little grimy and dark and there is a stage set up for live music. Overall it seemed like a fine place to hang out on a Saturday night but I was a little surprised the hostess from upstairs had steered us in that direction since we had a child with us. Anyway, we were all cool with it but then after we sat down it took over 10 minutes to be acknowledged. Finally a kid came by and dropped of some menus. After we had all decided what we wanted to order I flagged him down but he said he was not our server. After a while more of waiting, the waitress came by and apologized for the wait but still did not even take our drink orders. Just as we were starting to really get frustrated a different server appeared and from then on the service was great. My husband and I each ordered a beer. I had the One Nut Brown Ale which was delicious. My hubby ordered the Beerito which he didn't really care for but I thought was fabulous. I would definitely order either of those beers again if given the chance. That was a pretty big deal for me and the main reason for giving them four stars. I've never been a huge fan of Oskar Blues primarily because I can't stand their flagship Old Chub. The two beers we had on this visit totally turned me around. The food was pretty decent as well. I got a burger with sweet potato fries that I was pretty satisfied with. The rest of the group shared a couple orders of wings and some nachos that they all raved about but I did not partake in. So, overall in spite of the rocky start it was a pretty good visit and I would definitely return next time I'm in the area. And I'll be looking for Beerita and One Nut back home in Aizona for sure. read more

My boyfriend and I were staying in a nearby hotel and this was the first bar/restaurant that we were able to get a seat at. I was a little worried I would only be able to get fries because I'm vegan, but the waitress Donjia was absolutely phenomenal and went above and beyond to figure out what I could have. I ended up getting their vegan burger with truffle fries and multiple craft beers. She was SO friendly and so helpful - I have written like one review in my entire life, but I seriously felt like she deserved this recognition!!! read more

This is the original Oskar Blues, and I have been here several times. We usually head down to the bar, but I have eaten upstairs as well. One issue I always have, is, that you don't ever know what the beer pricing is. Today I had the IPA, Deviate. It is strong, and I asked if it was in a small glass. She said no, its a pint. It was $7 compared to $4 for the other beers. She should have sold me the 10 oz. She should have expressed that to me. If it it special pricing, let the patron know. It is very good, though. Secondly, this is a dive bar, and expect no less than a nice dive bar. Their pricing is a bit high for where it is and what it is. Staff is nice, but service is not exceptional. Love all their beers. I like the new Tasty Weasel in Longmont much better. read more

Every time we pass through Lyons, CO after driving down from Grand Lake we hit up Oskar Blue's. My husband (beer drinker) enjoys their brews at home so the first time in, we thought why not?! We like the beer a lot. And we were not disappointed at all. Today was a gorgeous and perfect Sunday afternoon and the place was full with a 20 minute wait. We hung outside and said hi to the many dogs outside and got in quickly. The wings. Just do yourself a favor and get the wings. OB has their own hot sauce and these are amazing. The Honey Chile is the other we tried - perfection. And the crew we were with today are BBQ aficionados and everyone agreed - the wings alone are worth the trip. Fish and Chips are consistently a showstopper. Crispy and beer battered, with OB beer of course!! Burgers. Yep. Just do it. Turkey Reuben on Marbled Rye - large portion and delicious. The Mac n Cheese ... Fall is coming and this would be a perfect snowy day treat. Service is quick and attentive and water stayed filled. After our mountain day that was a noted and welcomed thing!! read more
