Fattened up after your hotel breakfast buffet of waffles and freeze-dried eggs? Oh No. Split "The Cheesus," the Signature Sandwich, with a friend. Three (3) slices of freshly baked sourdough bread. Top and bottom slices have melted white and yellow American cheese melted into them. Middle slice has been soaked in tomato soup. Counter service is very friendly and will bring your order to the table. Consider it a Cultural Experience. It's like eating Alligator or Mud Bugs in Louisiana. One must experience Big B's whilst visiting Idaho Springs. Outside this mountain village, Micky D's has very little to be concerned about.

What a lack of identity! I have attached a picture of a $15 tiny sandwich! I measure it. It is exactly 6 inches. For $15. What a rip off!!! If the band String Cheese Incident ever ate here, they would be appalled at how this establishment just rips people off.

They offered their covered patio, but when I went out there, it was also full and it's not much of a covered patio. it's like a room with big windows and it smelled bad. I would much rather be actually outside. We ended up sitting at the bar which was fine. The food was good! Although it was pricey. They didn't bring me the onion rings I ordered. I can't tell for sure if the lady charged me for them or not because I wasn't given a receipt. The waiter just told me that it wasn't on the ticket that he is going by as he brings the food out and apologized.

Of their ciders we had, my favorite was the hibiscus cider and the peach cider, but they also have a good selection beers if ciders aren't your thing. For food we got their Ruben and their Flat-iron Steak. The Ruben was awesome, the sauce was a bit on the sweeter side, but it tasted good while drinking the ciders. But the highlight for me was their flat-iron steak, its a simple cut but it was one of the best steaks I've had in recent memory. I'm not kidding when I say it was on par if not better than a a lot of the steakhouses I've been to, it was perfectly cooked and seasoned, and comes with a solid chimichurri sauce. TLDR: great local tavern with great food and good selection of drinks.

We stopped at Clear Creek Cidery & Eatery because we liked their outdoor seating. The weather was perfect for enjoying a nice, shaded outdoor lunch. Our group of six all ordered water for drinks. The server brought us filled glasses and then told us if we wanted any refills, we could get them ourselves from the big cooler jug outside. Um...okay. The rest of the service was pretty much the same -- apathetic. We ordered a flight of beer for the four adults at the table. It was about $30 and came with about 15 small glasses of cider, one of each flavor they served. We shared it and got to sample everything that way. I ordered the Cider Burger (medium rare) with fries as my side. It came out medium well, which instantly ruins and dries out any good burger experience. The fries were tepid as well. I don't think we even saw our server again until the end, and even then we had to wait for awhile for the check. So, overall, It was just an okay experience. If I'm in the Idaho Springs area again, I wouldn't return to Clear Creek Cidery & Eatery. I'd definitely explore other options.

They had to close briefly to catch up with the orders after us and we felt bad. When you first arrive, this is essentially a shack. There's limited seating indoors that's like window seats. Then they have a large outdoor seating area. I do wish there was some sort of shade or covering because the sun was beating down on us. It was very hot and it felt like we were burning so maybe bring an umbrella. Now onto the food. The food was quite delicious. The fries were a good crunch and taste. The jalapeño potato salad was so good. The coleslaw is very tangy. The meats were delicious. We had the chopped brisket and the ribs. They're smoked quite well and the bbq sauce pairings were very tasty. I definitely like the hot bbq sauce (wasn't spicy but had such a good flavor).

We start our snack with the onion ring wow I was immediately surprised as the quality was like a five star restaurant onion ring housemate crispy flavorful perfect. I ordered A sandwich with half sausage and half smoked pork. That was absolutely delicious. I ordered a side of cucumber and onion salad that refreshing cold salad was pairing with perfection with the my smoke sandwich. They have four different barbecue sauces. All of them were delicious, accommodating the smoking of the meat My wife had the pulled pork plate served with mac & cheese this was also a really great mac & cheese, homemade flavorful and combine very well with the pulled pork. She also have the baked beans. This was perfect much much better than "canned bean" And they give us a delicious peach cobbler. I am still licking my fingers the place had to close early that day because they sold out. I was not very surprised because the food was so good that people just have to stop there to try it again So if you go to Breckenridge Val skiing, don't forget on your way back to Denver to stop in the smokehouse barbecue in Georgetown

Soooo delicious, I'd drive the 45 min here again just for the ribs. - Burnt-Ends sandwich, also 10/10 - Baked beans: 9/10. Really great, a couple kinds of meat in there made them extra delicious. The sauces were pretty underwhelming, but the meat was so good it wasn't a dealbreaker. I mixed the blue (Kansas City) with the hot and it went well. Cornbread was good, a little dry but not bad. The coleslaw was quite dry and bland. Mixing with the mustard-based bbq sauce elevated it considerably. Overall, strong meats, good sides, and perfect dining room environment for a BBQ spot. Would eat here again - and I'll be ordering the ribs.

What kept me from giving it five stars: This place is small. If you come with more than a few people good luck finding anywhere to sit. The soup was lukewarm.

They have a way of making you feel like you are an old friend who just happened to stop by.
