[[HIGHLIGHT]]Love this nice little spot![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We typically stop here when in the area. Great food and service each time. Highly recommend! read more

Great home cooked meals. Service is great, food is even better. The restaurant is a low key rustic mountain bar. Reasonable prices and fantastic food, especially given the location and difficulty of getting reliable fresh foods out on 285. Make sure to grab a couple hand pies to go for the road! read more

My husband picked up food to go so can't comment on interior but the food was surprisingly good for being a random spot in the mountains! The burger in particular was delicious, kids grilled cheese not so much. Service over the phone was friendly, can't speak for dine-in. read more

I was in the area with some friends and saw this cute restaurant off of 285 so we decided to stop for lunch. Upon entering, we were greeted warmly, seated immediately, and were asked what we would like to drink. When our server came back with our drinks, she took our orders. My friends ordered sandwiches and salads and I ordered the carnitas tacos with upgraded carnitas french fries smothered in green chile. Our food came out quickly and tasted so delicious. About midway through my lunch, I decided to get an arnold palmer because their lemonade looked so good. When we asked for separate checks, our server didn't bat an eye, which is great because some places frown upon separate checks. And although the register was at the front, our server was proactive and took our credit cards without us asking. The food is wonderful and the service was even more amazing. If you're in the area, you need to stop by! read more

The Shaggy Sheep - Carnitas tacos with upgraded carnitas french fries smothered in green chile - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Grant, Colorado

Great food, great prices, wonderful staff, and a delightful experience all around. I loved it.

While the food was good, this place is about the ambiance. We had a great lazy morning breakfast at the shaggy sheep. The baked avocado was both unusual and tasty. As a southerner, the jalapeño-cheddar biscuits and gravy was not my favorite..but worth a try for local flavor. The staff was delightful and the to go bakery items were delicious. read more

Great pit stop on the way up to or back from the hills. Menu on the brief side of things, but Great Burger and hand cut Fries and fountain drinks. Looked like a great beer selection, also. read more

Such a great place, perfect for a post-hike lunch and beer! Around the corner from Guanella Pass turn off. Extremely friendly staff. Had the black bean burger with fries, very yummy. And while you wait for your table you can have a beer and snacks outside from the Airstream. read more

The shaggy sheep is a great roadside restaurant along 285. Everything is delicious and made in house. The jam and the green chili is phenomenal. The owners CHRIS AND SARAH are pretty awesome and the staff has been great!!! The bartender/server VANESSA is fantastic and the little white haired lady CORINNE is soo sweet but spicy!!! Definitely will be back!!! If you happen to be close by stop by for a beer or food and even ice cream. It's all homemade!!! read more

The food and service were very nice in a little mountain town, exactly what you were hoping for in a small local place.

The food was very good and the service was also very good. This is in an unexpected pleasure on highway 285 near Grant.

Two words: hand. pies. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! We went here on our way to Guanella Pass, & must've hit it at the perfect time as we had NO WAIT at 9:30 on a Saturday morning, despite the parking lot being completely full. It's a very cute, cabin-esque building that feels homey & mountain town charming. The breakfast menu was small, but ample enough to feed two vegetarians & a meat eating father. I like that they offer avocado instead of breakfast meat for the vegetarians, a nice taste you don't often see. I ordered their french toast, my mom ordered their classic breakfast with avocado, & my dad ordered the breakfast burrito with bacon. All of us were pleased with our meal, but I haven't even gotten to the best part yet. Their peach hand pie was to die for - omg. The crust was just the perfect flakiness & there was ample filling. I'm drooling just thinking about it and wish I ordered more. 4 stars as the service was just okay, nothing special, & the fact that this place is a bit on the pricy side, but definitely worth it for the mountain charm & delicious food. I will definitely be back here! read more

This place had great reviews and was very close to where we were hiking. Unfortunately, the hostess was extremely rude. It was very busy but that's no excuse to treat potential customers like crap. We took our business elsewhere. read more

Extraordinary service and food. Friendly efficient and well worth the stop. The jellies and pastries are delicious as well.

My husband and I were coming back from the long weekend in Salida and were early enough to stop for breakfast on the way back to Denver. All the ladies are so friendly, and NICE. We were sat at the 285 "bar" and had two seats on the end which was great. Prompt with coffee and water, my husband ordered the biscuits and gravy and I ordered the Classic = 2 eggs, potatoes, bacon and biscuits. The biscuits are fresh made daily and are jalepeno cheddar with homemade jam on the side. Ok when I say that the biscuits melt in your mouth, they do. Paired with butter and jam and its a PARTY. I think we'll drive there for breakfast one day as a day trip just for the biscuits and the service. read more

We showed up 15 minutes before breakfast was done serving and were promptly told, they aren't serving breakfast anymore. We then were told we could eat at the food truck but food from outside couldn't be brought in and vis versa- despite it being the same chef. What we did eat outside was good, but the welcome service wasn't friendly at all. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I'm sure we will try again, but maybe on a day it doesn't look as busy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

This small restaurant was adorable. We just had an awful meal and came in for a drink after leaf peeping. We walked in at 2:30 and they close at 3:00pm but they encouraged us to eat something. We had the corn and it was delicious! The staff was amazing and for what little food we had it was great. All of the staff we encountered was top notch! We hope to come back for breakfast or dinner. read more

This is THE place to stop if you're finding yourself driving up down 285. It's got it all. Awesome name, fun merchandise, and delicious food! We've stopped here a few times and have never been disappointed. On our way camping, we stopped for lunch. I had the pork tacos which were super yummy. My little had chicken nuggets which I must say, were quite tasty too. Hubs had the chicken sandwich which he deemed to be good. I had some of his fries because I opted for the green chile as my side and I was not disappointed. It has a nice kick. For breakfast on our way home, I had the baked avocado which is really good. I think I had that the last time we breakfasted here. Hubs opted for the biscuits and gravy and he seemed pleased! My little had the pancake and well, she finished every bite! They're spacing table during COVID, the staff wears masks, and they have outdoor seating as well. I watched them wipe down the tables thoroughly after people left. You can dine in ease. Also, free wifi which is great because there is no reception up here! read more

Such a cozy cute restaurant, really enjoyed everything about this place. Service was great, food was great. Totally worth the stop!!

This place was a pleasant surprise. Everything is made in house and was tasty. We ordered the green Chile soup - tasty but a barn burner, will see if it burns on the way out. The brisket sandwich and fries were excellent. Especially the fries, I would recommend getting a separate order. Lastly, the carnitas tacos were awesome. Dare I say, up there with my favorite carnita place El Tiempo in Houston. read more

What a cute little place off the highway. Nice place for lunch, we had a hatch Chili soup - it was very good and we split a burger. Paired with a cold beer and it was a perfect lunch. You can tell that this place is beloved by locals and enjoyed by those passing by. read more

This place is the perfect place to stop when in the mountains! Always great, friendly service. Great burgers and fries, good breakfast (baked avocado, biscuits and gravy, and pancakes are all delicious). Sometimes there can be a wait, especially during the weekends, but it is 100% worth it. The only downside is that they close at 3p now, so you need to get there early. read more

Shaggy Sheep gets better with every seasonal menu change. Just when you think it can't get better they "wow" you again. I've had this short rib every Saturday for the past four weeks accompanied by the cumin roasted carrots tonight, roasted butternut squash last week and the crispy sprouts before that; all winners in my book. Their detailed attention to COVID 19 protocol is why they are the only place we "dine in" these days. So lucky to have this gem in our sparsely served county. read more

We happened upon The Shaggy Sheep by missing our turnoff. Some things happen for a reason! Super nice staff. Great food. There might be a wait but grab a drink and hangout on their front porch. Don't pass it by! read more

Everything you could ask for in a mountain lodge-style restaurant. The interior is beautifully decorated and gives off a cozy vibe. The food was delicious and the staff was very friendly. There is even a patio with outdoor seating and a food truck to order from if you don't have time for dine-in service. I would highly recommend stopping by - there aren't many other restaurants that can compete with The Shaggy Sheep in this area. read more

Stumbled upon this place yesterday and it was so good! Not sure what our bartender's name was, but she was phenomenal and knew how to perfectly describe everything. We had Bloody Marys, (peach sour) beer - which wasn't too peachy and not too sour. (Win) The breakfast sandwich with a side of green chili sauce. I had the jalapeño biscuits smothered in sausage gravy - it looks small but it's very filling! We also bought their jellies: raspberry and rhubarb. 10/10 would go back. read more

Really great place to stop for a bite. Food is super tasty, made in house. Love all the humming bird feeders, so relaxing to listen to them buzz about and watch them on the feeders. Will definitely be a regular stop for us on our adventures. read more

I drive 285 almost every weekend and have been for the past 2 years. Finally decided to stop by as I was ravenous for a breakfast burrito. 9:00 on a Saturday and they were busy. Taking only reservations and having spread out seating, make sure you arrive early or call ahead. I ordered the breakfast burrito to go, and it was great. Fresh scrambled eggs, tender and crispy potatoes, fresh cheddar, and a nice green chili sauce. Maybe a little pricey, but hey, happy to support. What impressed me the most was the cleanliness and steps they have taken to ensure patron safety. Gloves, masks, sanitizing menus, signs, clean bathrooms. Job well done guys! Do yourself a favor and stop here for some food. You'll enjoy it. read more

Consistently great service and food. Had the Beetroot salad & my wife had the black bean burger. Both were outstanding!! :-D

Its always a banger the hand-pies are amazing to die for. The wheaters are always so so nice they are amazing and food comes out quick and drinks read more

We love the Shaggy Sheep! The food is amazing and the staff friendly. Must try the homemade baked goods and jams. The restaurant is cute, nice mountain decor but not too cliche. In the summer, the outdoor Airstream converted trailer serves snacks and drinks. A must if you are in Grant or passing by on 285! read more

Excellent brunch. Feels like a popular family restaurant. Busy but service at the counter was friendly and quick.

Food is Fabulous! Driving 285 due to I-70 construction congestion. What a great surprise stop. Stopped on a Sunday and selected the Baked Avocado with green chili. Delicious! Husband asked why I wasn't sharing Haha! read more
