Our server Mike from Brazil was really amazing. He was totally on point and quick to respond!! While most of the meal was good, the sad items included their dry cornbread, flavorless garlic bread, and dry coleslaw with bland dressing. The meats were good and the fries were good. The dessert was incredible. See my photos for more information? I'll come back for the ambiance and fun people who work there. I know their breakfast is fabulous and will try their sandwiches next time. read more

Food was good. Fried okra was fun and tasty. Brisket wasn't amazing, but decent. Mustard BBQ sauce was niiiiice. Rocky Mountain Mule was delicious. Our server Julie was above and beyond attentive, sincere, and friendly. Top notch service. Very informed and experienced server. read more

Solid food. The experience was ok. Our server was great. We had a pretty decent meal. The drinks were great and the meal was paced very well. I would probably order something different next time. The ribs were good just needed a little longer to cook & they would've been perfect - and I probably should've gone with my sauce on the side the sausage was the same. A little longer on a grill & the casing would've been crispy & popped off. Nice vibe - very social and a nice mix of age groups. read more

This is a gem of Grand Lake! The menu is extensive with great apps, salads, soup, sandwiches, entrees. You can find Elk and more on the menu as well as great brisket, pulled pork and ribs. The service was super as it was all the times we have been here. The atmosphere has a great mountain vibe. Restaurant, bar, coffee bar and patio. If you can't find what you want at Sagebrush, you're just not hungry or a big grumpy gill. read more

We all wanted BBQ, so we found this place on Yelp and decided to give it a try. We waited about 25 minutes for a table, but once we were seated, the food came out pretty fast. We all got the ribs, and they were absolutely delicious. The meat was so tender it practically fell off the bone, and the flavor was amazing. A full rack could easily feed two people because the portions were huge. The restaurant was clean, well organized, and kid friendly, which made the whole experience even better. We were really impressed with how good the ribs were, and we will definitely be back next year!!! read more

We were so happy to find a place open and serving food on a Tuesday midday in early February (with not much snow). It wasn't too busy when we got there but more and more people came in while we were there. Some locals and some visitors like us. Cute place with rustic vibe similar to a Cracker Barrel. I got the summer salad with salmon. Delicious- loaded with lettuce and fruit. Also some tasty garlic bread with it. Hubs got buffalo meatloaf sandwich with mashed potatoes. He liked it but wasn't the best ever. Ha. Waitress was friendly and service was quick. read more

My grandson is leaving for college. I am old. I planned a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Grand Lake to attend the theater. I planned this for weeks, choosing Sagebrush for our dinner. I wish we had eaten at anyplace else. We had a reservation, and arrived on time, but was seated next to the kitchen and carry-out station, so a lot of noise for dinner conversation. My grandson, and I, no matter where, always order mozzarella sticks and, in 15 years never had bad ones, until now. One bite, and no more! At $14.99, a steep throwaway, We told our server the appetizer was inedible, and she took them away. No alternative offered, but it remained on our ticket. Now, the entree. He ordered the steak Caesar salad, and ate the steak. The romaine lettuce was too soggy and wilted. Very unappetizing. My grandson asked me not to complain, even when I receive my plate of fresh trout, baked potato and a medicine cup of baked beans. I did enjoy the potato. The fish, sitting in oil, atop wilted lettuce, did give me a few enjoyable bites. Let's not even discuss the toasted, cold bread. Now, we decide to try dessert, to take back to the lodge to eat after the show. Worst decision, of all. I am sharing a photo. Now, I know pie, have made many, once worked at a successful pie shop, but this pie? Let the photo speak. The slice was, at least, a week old, with the filling so dried up, what kind of pie is this? The crust was broken up, as though difficult to remove from the baking plate, because it was so old! Another inedible selection. I mentioned I am old - social security old - and I work, so I am offended, and sad, to spend $105 on this lousy, disappointing experience, not to be remembered, fondly. I expected much better. A leftover hotdog from our picnic, earlier this day, would have been enjoyed, more - far more, and I would not have lost $105. A 1-star rating is generous. read more

We were a party of 6 hunting for a solid place for dinner outside the park while we were camping. We came here for the cute small town, put our names in, it was a 30-45 minute wait which was accurate and then we were seated. The waiter Tanner was so very nice! He was funny, helpful, knowledgeable on the menu, and very generous. He got everything out quickly and had us pick the best items for what we were all looking for. He even got my husband a "shot" of sprinkles to go with his hot chocolate when he found out he loved sprinkles so much. read more

Fantastic Breakfast, Service and Venue! The cutest outdoor seating, so clean and welcoming. Our server was unreal with her knowledge of the city, the menu, the town and the area. It was my birthday and she made my breakfast magical! I had the wild game Benedict and my husband had one of their omelets. Both were delicious!!! 10/10, can't wait to go back! read more

I would definitely recommend this restaurant! Excellent menu, something for everyone in our picky group. Service staff were very nice and helpful. We had our dog with us so we ate on the patio, which is off the sidewalk on the Main Street of the charming town of Grand Lake. We had great weather and people-watching. Our hotel was two minutes away, walking distance. It was so good we went two nights in a row. The first night, my husband and son ordered ribs, which they praised, and I ordered the summer salad with salmon. The salmon was delicious though somewhat overcooked, and the salad was lovely, with high-quality, fresh ingredients. The second night, my husband got the pulled pork platter, my son got a cheeseburger off the kids menu, and I had the trout. They quickly fixed my order after a misunderstanding (I asked for a salad instead of sides). Everyone went away happy! read more

We stopped into sagebrush two days in a row! Both times were an excellent experience, the brisket grilled cheese was delicious especially with the Carolina style mustard bbq sauce! The prime rib was hands down absolutely fantastic highly recommend! Service is always great, prompt and pleasant! The smell inside the restaurant makes you mouth water as you walk in! Great place to grab a bite in grand lake! read more

This place is huge. It's really packed and loud. We waited about 25 minutes for a table. The inside has a sports bar feel with car license plates decorating the wall. Our server was attentive and helped us navigate the menu which is rather large. It centers around smoked meats with some wild game thrown in too. The game is in the form of some type of sausages or ground meat, bison or elk. They also have salmon and trout. We opted for the smoked ribs and the bbq plate of 3 meats. I chose pulled pork, brisket, and bison meatloaf. It was good especially the meatloaf. The side salad I ordered was huge. The ribs were good too. Pull apart tender. It has something for everyone. Just be prepared to wait as it's the most popular place in town. read more

Well wow-- this was a great experience for us! My husband got the meatloaf dinner and the vegetable of the day was broccoli and I swear that stole the show. It was so delicious. The brown gravy on the potatoes was to DIE for as well! The buffalo meatloaf was so tender and you could get the red sauce or brown gravy and I think it would have been even better with the gravy instead. My tuna melt was fantastic though I do wish it had come with lettuce and tomato. But the sourdough bread was phenomenal and the tuna salad was wonderful and light and just what I needed. We also had the peach cobbler and peanut butter pie for dessert and we both agree the peanut butter pie was the winner! But both were great! The only negative? Pepsi products are served here and we are Coke people! But they did have Dr. Pepper so we did just fine!! Our server was nice and attentive and the staff we interacted with were all friendly. The restaurant has some definite charisma with the backstory being it used to house the town jail! So neat. Everything was clean inside, too! There were TVs in the bar area playing various sports games and that was really nice. Overall, definitely recommend. Bonus: as Memphians we LOVED seeing Memphis bbq on the menu!!! Can't wait to come back again sometime! read more

The food options are fairly limited in Grand Lake. A simple Yelp or google search, and you'll find multiple options for pizza and bar food but little else to choose from. We chose Sagebrush because it looked like they had more variety and we were right! The menu is HUGE, I honestly had a hard time deciding what to get. I got the pulled pork nachos and it came as a massive portion. I definitely couldn't finish it all. My husband got wild game sausage platter and our friend got a cheeseburger. Everything was delicious! Our waiter Sawyer was awesome. She gave us some food recommendations but also us the insider scoop on this cute little town. Definitely add Sagebrush to your list if you're headed to Grand Lake! read more

I've been coming here since the day they opened around 30 years ago. The food is always consistently good. However the service style needs an overhaul. The older servers do the least amount of work, and basically suck at their job. We waited in a half empty restaurant at 7:30 pm for about 10 minutes after being sat. When the sever did show up it was another 10 minutes to get a lemonade and a Mountain Dew. I'm betting we will get our meals delivered by the younger expo before the server even realizes (if she even does) that no drinks were delivered. The waitstaff is way more concerned about hovering by the bar than they are with the customers that pay the bill. This place can be a goldmine for servers with a clue. Keep in mind the server that does Jack...gets the majority of the tip you leave. The poor kids doing the work get a small fraction of it. I tip 30-40% everywhere I go even when the service is marginal. Servers might not always deserve it, but if I tipped you less than 15% you deserved it. read more

Really on the fence with this place... The best looking place on the touristy strip in Grand Lake. Has a great feel when you come in, the people were super friendly and our server was extra patient. The food tasted ok, nothing special, but i couldn't get over the prices... sticker shock for sure. The portions were large enough to split meals, which i prefer for no leftovers... No need for me to return, but i can't honestly tell someone this is a place to go without hesitation. read more

Stopped by Sagebrush Barbecue while visiting Colorado. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, service was friendly, and everything we ordered came out flavorful and satisfying. It's one of those places you remember enjoying even if the exact dish escapes you, which usually means it was done right. Would definitely stop in again if I'm back in the area. read more

Sagebrush BBQ & Grill - *BBQ Pork Ribs - Barbeque Near Me - Grand Lake, Colorado

This place is out of this world. Across the board, Grand Lake has a lot of good restaurants. But, sagebrush stands above the rest, because the food and service is exceptional. Little did I know, that most of the food is homemade and the cook has been there for over 20 years. It's very hard to keep a quality cook in a mountain town like Grand Lake. But, overall we've eaten here a handful of times and every time we try something new, we are blown away by how great it is. This place can get packed, but the staff doesn't take long to find a table for you. Will come again and recommend this place to others. read more

Came here based on reviews, and the other places we wanted to try were closed. They were packed on a Monday evening at 5pm. We were seated right away. Service was great. Asked our server what was the best, since their menu is HUGE! He recommended any of the bbq. So we shared the 4 meat plate (ribs, brisket, spicy sausage and pulled pork). I'm disappointed to say that it just wasn't very good. We are from Texas and eat GOOD BBQ. The brisket was dry, and didn't have a good bark on it. No way this was smoked on a pit. Pulled pork was dry and also had no bark/burnt end pieces. Sausage was ok. Runs were ok, but no seasoning. Sides were onion rings (ok) and cilantro lime rice (ok). read more

Overall service is a 5, the food is a 3, so I landed at a nice four for the experience. Stanford was absolutely amazing! He provided great customer service during our visit.

Loved the BBQ from Sagebrush. Sipped on a 90 Shilling at the cute bar while waiting on our carryout lunch. Food was up quickly. Veggie green chili and cornbread for my wife and BBQ sampler for me. Touchdown, mustard sauce! Did not expect to find that. I love BBQ and the sampler gave a taste of everything they do well here-hot link, ribs, brisket and pulled pork. Excellent smoke rings on the tasty meat. Good smoky sauce for the brisket, and that delicious mustard one for everything else I could put it on. My wife also loved her chili and cornbread. BBQ fix success. Thanks Sagebrush! read more

A delicious, consistent in the heart of downtown Grand Lake. I have spent every summer of my life enjoying the magic of Grand Lake. At least once a weekend, we head into town for dinner and almost always the choice is Sage Brush! The service is friendly and warm, the food is comforting to the stomach and soul, and the drinks are reliably tasty and refreshing! Family favorites are the Saturday Prime Rib Dinner, Pan-Fried Fresh Rainbow Trout, and Wild Game Sausage Platter ... although you can't go wrong with just about anything on their extensive menu chalk full of local delicacies such as buffalo and elk. Reservations are recommended, especially at popular times on weekends and holidays (walk in wait times have known to be hours during peak hours). I strongly suggest dining on one of the patios (outside or indoor with garage style open walls that both overlook the main street). read more

It seems like I always give the same review BUT when everything goes according to the plan you know you are at Sagebrush. Just had our annual hubby birthday party there, we are now at 90.

While in a t-shirt shop in Grand Lake we ask one of the employees what restaurant would he recommend to have lunch. He responded The Sagebrush Grill. We actually walked passed it earlier and thought it looked like a good place, only one exception no Coke only Pepsi. Our waitress was from Romania and was real nice. She suggested the Triple Brisket sandwich which I ordered and my wife have a Pulled Pork Memphis style sandwich which she liked. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was my sweet potato French fries which my wife enjoyed. Overall good place to eat in Grand Lakes Colorado. read more
