The steakhouse was amazing, the food was so fresh and cooked perfect! I could eat here everyday!

Snake River is definitely one of the best dinner spots in all of Keystone. Rustic and inviting, you will feeling like you're still in the warming house on the mountains. The restaurant side is upscale dining and the saloon side is haute dive bar. Steak is the main thing on the menu, but they also have great seafood offerings. The steak has that western chick wagon flavor and is cooked true to temperature. They also have some imaginative cocktails. The prices run a little high, as one might expect in a ski town. At the Snake, service is what keeps you coming back. Attentive and enjoyable, I have yet to have an experience below excellent. For the win: Start with the Tiger Shrimp Cocktail, followed by the Kansas City Sirloin, and wash it down with their Snake Bite Paloma. read more

Smarmy waiter and cafeteria food. Prime rib was days old and boiled back to life. T bone is 1/4 inch thick. Nothing good here

Go for happy hour! Fun atmosphere, good food (artichoke hearts, mushrooms, onion rings all good!). 1/2 price beer. People having fun! read more

We live right near "The Snake". Have enjoyed many dinners here over the yearsʻ but the last 2 visits were really disappointing. The service is always goodʻ but the restaurant is always cold and the decor is getting really dated - especially at this price point. It is just looking tired and cheap. But the big disappointment was the prime rib. On both visits, it was soft and stringy (typical of low quality prime) and basically flavorless. Plus, the food on our plates was all barely warm - like it sat in the kitchen window too long. There have been a few great new restaurants open nearby, and several others opening soon. If The Snake doesn't step up its game soon, it may not be open long..... read more

I love how one side of the restaurant is super nice for a date night and the other side is more chill vibes with the bar. Getting seated right away wasn't an issue and our server, although in training, did an amazing job! As for the food, the wings were SO GOOD 9/10, however the main courses fell short. I ordered the Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken and the chicken was too charred for my liking, also some of the noodles were a bit dry 7/10. My boyfriend ordered a steak and said it was also too charred for his liking. I ordered the Cosmo and yikes it was so strong that I had to switch it out for the Chocolate Velvet which was much better 8/10. Honestly overall I was a little disappointed with the food especially for the price. Not worth it in my opinion. read more

i notice that my review stating this was the doesn't experience we have ever had at a steakhouse was met with some wild story that i was doing it with a group to gain followers.... let's get this straight. I went with one follower.. MY HUSBAND. planning on a very nice romantic meal. what we got was inedible!!!! beware of the food and now the food establishment for how they handled criticism of an epic failure! read more

Everyone's food was disappointing. We also have a family member with dairy and egg allergies and this place isn't interested in accommodating such allergies. It's too bad because most restaurants at this price point do whatever they can to accommodate - our server didn't even go back and speak to the chef....he just "knew" they couldn't do what we were asking. We spent a fortune on the crab - that is supposed to be baked with butter - it was completely dry on my plate....no water or butter coming out of the shell when pulling out the meat. When this was brought to the server's attention, he said it was absolutely prepared properly. I guess "dry crab" is what they consider properly. Stay away. This place is not worth the money. read more

Greatest bar/steakhouse in the Keystone area. The staff was awesome and patrons were very friendly as well.

Shrimp scampi gave me severe food poisoning, currently in the ER on an IV. Do not recommend

Love the old time atmosphere food and service was great. We had drinks from the bar with prime rib.

I have been coming here for probably 25 years, and have so many beautiful memories wrapped around this place. It's always what I want to be, friendly, familiar, delicious, and rustic. An oasis in a sea of Vail resorts blah. read more

This saloon and steakhouse has the best of both worlds. The steakhouse has an upscale fine dining atmosphere and the saloon is very rustic/casual vibe! The service is top notch. No water glass goes empty nor is a plate left for even 30 seconds after finishing. The waiter was wonderful and the food was fantastic. We loved the fresh baked bread and honey butter too. The saloon should start a butter processing business as there was no shortage of their delicious butter on the table. read more

We dined here while in town for our ski vacation. This place has been around for quite some time and years ago it was much better than now. We agree the place has gone down hill considerably. While our waitress was attentive and kept us up to date on the status of our lengthy wait for food, we were mostly disappointed. The good stuff- Friendly waitstaff and the bread and butter were delicious. Incredibly attentive refilling drinks. The T-bone steak was flavorful and very good. The not so good- The onion rings seemed overcooked and greasier than typical onion rings. The filet that was ordered with a lobster tail was overcooked and the lobster tail was rubbery. The other filet was so undercooked, it was basically raw inside of the exterior char. We aren't sure what happened that delayed our food so long. We were a party of 4 and the much larger parties that came in after us ate before us. Tired of waiting, we ordered dessert to go. The slices of cheesecake were much smaller than what we've received at other places. It was good, not great. Not sure we will be back next time we are in town. Average food, resort town prices. read more

Simply put, the portions are huge but that doesn't count for anything when the food lacks in every aspect and to make matters worse, it's hideously overpriced. read more

I was always to myself and others that restaurants in mountain towns were at best Just Okay. But here is Snake River Saloon changing my mind! First, the atmosphere of the restaurant is a mix between an old west style steakhouse and an upscale diner. Lighting was low but we had plenty of light coming from the windows. Parking is pretty easy. Plenty of parking for the restaurant and they do get full, Christy Sports parking lot is also available. We made reservations but we did also arrive earlier than our time slot. It wasn't an issue at all and we were seated immediately. Staff here is very nice and very attentive. Our server was Karen and she was on point with the service. The staff here worked like a team and that makes the experience even better. I love how attentive they were and helped out when it was needed. The drinks menu was pretty interesting. Definitely not your usual restaurant/bar drinks. The drink I ordered was the Dog Gone Blues: Vodka, Triple Sec, and Blueberry Jam. Never had a drink with Blueberry Jam before so I had to get it. The bartender did not disappoint on this one! None of the ingredients were overpowering and all ingredients worked perfectly together. My wife ordered My Cup Of Tea: Tequila, muddled raspberries, jasmine green tea, grapefruit juice. It reminded her of a margarita. It was good but the lime and salt rim was too sour which didn't go well with the drink. She also mentioned that she hardly tasted the tea. Now on to the food which was the star of the evening. For starters we ordered the Escargot and Bone Marrow. Please don't ask me to choose which was better because this will be a hard choice. The escargot was full of so much flavors. The snails were place on top of mushrooms, surrounded with this sherry wine sauce that was the perfect complement to the snails. Each bite was ridiculously good that it was this whole dish was quickly devoured. Once the last bite of escargot was eaten, a tear was shed. This was moment was like saying goodbye to your child when they go off to their first day of kindergarten. The only part of this dish that wasn't eaten was the bread. Everything else on this dish was so good, we lost site of the bread. Maybe next time bread, maybe next time. The Bone Marrow also got the same amount of attention. First, I was a little surprised on how much marrow was on the bones. I think there were 6 toasted slices of bread with the dish and all 6 had generous amounts of marrow slathered on them. I highly recommend putting the veggies on the toast. They will help cut the richness of the marrow and they add more flavors to the bites. With this combination, each bite will taste like a party in your mouth and you will be dancing in your chair while you eat. I know I did. For the main course I ordered the Ribeye with the snake butter on top. This boneless piece of hearty ribeye was cooked perfectly to medium rare, with a nice charred outer layer. Adding the snake butter on top puts this dish above the rest. I am not sure what's in the snake butter but the obvious flavor I got from it was... Love, yep that's what it was, a taste of love. The roommate got the stuffed halibut after our server Karen mentioned this special (which wasn't on the menu). The way Karen described this dish was almost like she hitting my wife and my wife fell for it. And it did not disappoint. Stuffed with spinach and then wrapped in this potato sheet then deep fried to a crispy consistency. Then it was slathered with this creamy white sauce that made me want to tell Karen to behave herself. I mean there were kids around.... The dish was so good that I did not mind this from Karen at all. This experience has got me to change my mind about the mountain restaurants. Especially in Keystone. I am already counting the days until we come back here again. And I am looking forward to trying the other dishes that Snake River Saloon offers read more

Limited food options around the area and it has been there a long time but for the price you pay it's slightly underwhelming.

My husband and I eloped in Dillon with our close friends and family. No restaurants in the Dillon area or surrounding areas were willing to accommodate us while providing a few separate checks. Snake river saloon not only accommodated us but went above and beyond with the set up and communication. They checked in with me the morning of our wedding not only to touch base about the reservation but also to wish us good luck and congratulations on our wedding. The staff was so sweet, our waitress was amazing, and the food was perfect. We plan on returning to the area for our anniversary every year and we will definitely be having our anniversary dinner at the saloon every year as well. Thank you again to the amazing owner and staff. You guys played a huge roll in best day of our lives and we will forever be thankful for you. read more

Me and my husband consider ourselves foodies and enjoy good restaurants. We have had a lot of good restaurants through the years and we truly cannot understand why this restaurant has anything less than 4.5 stars. If you're coming into this place thinking it's going to be Perry's or a city steakhouse then you're crazy. If you want that, you are more than welcome to go to Vail or back to Denver. We are in the middle of the Rockies, and this place has been around since 1975. This place is authentic, a hole in the wall and a staple of the Rockies. My parents have been eating the pork chops here since the late 90's. All this being said, we loved the ambiance. An authentic saloon with a steakhouse, Awesome. We had the Prime rib, Alaskan king crab, Pork chops, and cheesecake. Everything was exceptional. We loved every bit of it and especially the house potato casserole. These were all things that our most amazing server Natelle pointed out. Can you honestly really judge a place if you don't go with server/ local recommendations? Love this place so much and will be back one day soon. read more

We've been here several times and make it a point to go here every time we visit Keystone. Dined here last night (4/5/25) and had a great experience again. Fun place, lively, big portions, and great food. Definitely a must visit if you are in keystone. Would definitely recommend to make reservations as it is a popular spot. read more

We had our son and daughter in law's rehearsal dinner and Welcome Party at the Snake Steakhouse and Saloon. Working with the manager, Cheyenne and the owner JD- while planning this event from another state, went SO smoothly!! The staff was wonderful, the FOOD was beyond amazing and the fun atmosphere of the saloon was an excellent place to end our night! We will DEFINITELY return to The Snake when visiting our son and daughter in law in CO! read more

Excellent dinner including gluten free options served by friendly servers in a charming historic environment. We will return

Solid 3. JD learn to greet clients when they walk in instead of staring at them with a blank stare. Here are a few tips JD " welcome to snake river saloon" "table for two?" "How are you guys doing ? " anything just staring at a client and not greeting them. The wings were okay. I think they were baked instead of fried. They were decent. I think living in Houston we are simply spoiled with the best food. Wingstop is better than these lol. The bartender however was very nice and made us feel at home. She went out of our way to make sure we had everything we needed. I didn't get her name but she was very good at her job. We really enjoyed the pool table. We played a couple of games. I bet this place is really cool in the winter when it's really cold. Could have been 4 stars but we were not greeted properly and the wings were like a 3. I would definitely go back. read more

Great service and a 1980s "supper club" feel that made the night. Trout was excellent, Filet Mignon was not great. If you are staying in the River Run village area plenty of parking, you can walk through neighborhoods that are dimly lit. read more

Honestly 10/10. Super fun ambiance-- I'd recommend reservations because it was very busy but we just walked in and sat at the bar. The chicken piccata CHANGED MY LIFE. Unbelievable. Great service, great good, good vibes. Nothing like a hot meal after a long ski day. read more

Great bar. Great bartenders and staff. Every town needs a watering hole as good as this one. Do your self a favor and stop in.

Kitschy atmosphere! Excellent variety in the menu. We ordered surf and turf and 2 different chicken dishes. All delicious! We had a server who got to know our table as my niece is visiting from Chicago and we wanted to go somewhere different. He asked her prior to our food arriving""... Hey Chicago! Have you ever seen a moose?" My nieces eyes lit up and he took her (along with the kids at the table next to us) out to see a moose in the parking lot! They all got pics!! I thought it was so sweet. The guy cared enough to be sure they had a special experience. Thank you Brandon for being not only an excellent server, but an all-around great guy! The service was great, the hostess was sweet and we will definitely be back! read more

We had a wonderful dinner here last night. We sat in the bar to be seated more quickly and we enjoyed the lively atmosphere. The photo collages of various characters from glory days in the 70s and 80s reminded me a lot of "Scrapple" the best ski town movie ever made! Snake River Saloon feels like the quintessential Keystone dining experience. We shared a small Caesar, my husband had surf and turf with bacon wrapped filet, king crab and the southwestern potato casserole of the day, my daughter had kids spaghetti and meatballs and I had the grilled salmon with rice pilaf and loaded baked potato. It was so delicious we destroyed it all and the service is great and friendly. We took home the chocolate mousse dessert to enjoy later. If you are in Keystone, enjoying a meal here is a must do. We loved it! We don't really drink alcohol anymore but this would be a fun watering hole as well. We will always plan a visit here during a Keystone stay! read more

I was in town for a conference, and I could walk right over. It was so nice, I did it twice! The very first night in town, I treated myself to this amazing, tender, and juicy ribeye. It was melt in your mouth amazing. The service was great, with a helpful wine choice that made dinner even better. I sold my husband on the ribeye, and he wanted to try it when he got to town the next evening. He loved the homemade horseradish. This time I tried a steak. When you can eat a steak with simply it's own juices, that is a win in my book. It was tender and just melted in my mouth. If you're here in the off season, you probably won't need reservations, however if you're headed here during the peak season, they do recommend reservations. I hope you enjoy this delicious dining experience as much as my husband and I did. read more
