First time eating at Courtyard Social, but I've had takeout from here a few times since living in…read moreCastle Rock. I took my 14 yo for an early dinner on a Thursday afternoon and after finding a somewhat close parking spot, found the patio of Courtyard Social already fairly packed. We were seated at a table towards the back and we ordered a Coke and a beer. The server asked us if we were interested in the Happy Hour menu (available M-F, till 5:30) and we jumped all over that. $6 sliders, $15 for a pound of smoked hot wings, and $2 off m draft beer. Great deal!!! The wings were fantastic and I will definitely be back for them! The hot sauce was just right, and although a few of the drums were a little dry - overall the wings hit the spot. The sliders were good (not as tasty as the wings), and I might have to try their fried chicken sliders (Nashville hot) next time. Service was good and everyone was welcoming and friendly. I'm not sure why I didn't try this spot sooner, so don't make my mistake and get yourself down to Courtyard Social!

I went with some friends yesterday, and I was shocked at how much food was cut back. I think they must have watched the episode of The Bear where the Chef is told to cut the food portions by 15%, but I think they heard 50%. I ordered one pork belly taco off the Taco Tuesday menu. While it was very good, the amount of filling was ridiculous. I would venture to say a teaspoon, maybe 2 at most. They use the street taco-size flour tortillas, and it was still underfilled. It still would have been if I had torn the tortilla in 1/2. I also ordered the prime rib eggrolls, while again good, but they were 1/4 full of filling, and most of that was lettuce and veggies, definitely gaps between the filling and the wrapper. The PR eggrolls were always my go-to because they were so good, and they always had plenty of prime rib in them. No gaps between the filling and the wrapper, as they were yesterday. I did mention it to the waitress, and she really didn't care. Otherwise, she was a fine waitress. I wasn't looking for a handout, but I definitely felt that she should have acknowledged it and said she would pass the info to the manager. I would have preferred the price to be a buck or two more than to pay less and feel like I was ripped off. I will try it again, but if it's the same I would not go back.

We were immediately greeted upon entering and given menus and sat at a booth. Our server came over shortly after and greeted us and took our drink order. After that, she pretty much disappeared from existence. When we finally found her we tried waving her over to put our food order in to which she looked at us and continued to ignore us to watch the World Cup game. Terrible service. Good was lower average. I will say the nachos came out better than they did in previously posted pictures but nothing was spectacular. This is your typical run down sports bar where everything looks like your drunk friend made it at 3am. Everything tasted fine just nothing crazy. Unless you're wanting to watch a sports game, I'd skip this place.

After he finished eating he noticed that he only received 8 wings and when we told the server her response was 'they do what they want' and gave him the lunch portion. She took the money off of the difference between the sizes, but it's the fact that this happens so much that the server acted as it was expected for the kitchen to do what they want and not what the customer wants. I would recommend this place, but definitely make sure you get what you expect!

This experience could've been so much better, but unfortunately the service really missed the mark…read more I do feel bad because our server mentioned she was new, but it still doesn't excuse how things went. To start, it took over 30 minutes just for our order to be taken, and then another 30+ minutes for the food to come out. We were there for about 2 hours total when this should've been a maybe hour-long visit. When the food finally came, only half of it was brought out. The rest took another 15+ minutes, so most of us finished eating before the others even got their meals. We were starving after playing pickleball, so that was frustrating. On top of that, we could literally see our food sitting there for a while before it was finally brought out. Another issue was the menu being misleading. The vegan burger is advertised as an Impossible Burger, but it was very clearly a Beyond Burger... which is a big difference if you're vegan. When we brought it up, the server tried to correct us and even showed us a picture of the patties, which honestly just confirmed our concern instead of resolving it. To make it worse, the vegan burger was supposed to come with vegan mayo and tomatoes, but didn't have either. When we asked, we were told they had run out. It would've been nice to know that ahead of time instead of finding out after the food was already served. Also... the men's bathroom was out of soap, which is just not a great look. It makes you question cleanliness overall. It honestly seemed like they were understaffed, and if that's the case, there really should've been a manager stepping in to support the staff and help smooth things over for customers... especially considering the location. I'll end on a positive note... the Oklahoma Onion burger was actually really good (not the vegan one lol) I coud've eaten 2! Oh, and it seems like a good place to come watch sports as there are TV's everywhere and a well staffed bar.

First let's talk about their wings: their Cajun wings were BOMB! Cooked perfectly, seasoned heavily like I like it and the flavor was great! I think they may be the best wings I have found in Castle Rock. The pizza was one with prosciutto & pickled onions. So good! The crust is on point. Cooked beautifully. Just trust me on that. The server took our order but never put it in so while our friends ate and drank we got nothing. Once we were able to track down the server, she blamed the kitchen which left a bad taste in my mouth (I'd prefer she just admit she forgot to put in the order) and when my friend's pizza came out 12-15 mins later, it was the wrong pizza altogether. She got pepperoni. So they had to remake it. They still get 4 stars because the food was awesome. I would definitely go there for takeout and plan to soon!

We visited Whiskey Lodge on Friday night after hearing there was a new owner. It had been a while…read moresince our last visit, so we were excited to check it out. The night started fun, but things quickly took a turn. From where we were sitting (not part of the group involved), I noticed a man becoming aggressive toward another nearby group--yelling at them and eventually shoving someone, which led to a fight. As someone simply watching it unfold, it was pretty clear who escalated the situation. What was most surprising, though, was how it was handled. The owner appeared to side with the individual who initiated the confrontation and ultimately removed the group instead. Later, we heard that the man involved was actually a friend of the owner. From an outside perspective, the group that was asked to leave seemed calm and was minding their business before things escalated. Watching everything unfold--and seeing how it was handled--left a really negative impression. Unfortunately, that experience made the environment feel uncomfortable and biased, which is disappointing because the night had started on such a positive note.

First of all, the view from the restaurant is breathtaking! As soon as you walk into the courtyard,…read moreyou're greeted with the view and spacious lounge-like areas to relax while you wait. The staff did not skip a beat welcoming my party at the door and the serving staff were attentive to anything we may have needed. One of the first things we noticed was the elegance of the entire restaurant. The food was of great quality, one guest even exclaiming, "This is one of the best steaks I've ever had!" You can taste the love and effort that went into each dish. I'd recommend this place for celebrating a special occasion, or even if you just want to enjoy a great meal with a great view and ambience. Looking forward to eating here again!

HOLY FREAKING MOLY, THE BRINKERHOFF IN CASTLE ROCK JUST RUINED ALL OTHER RESTAURANTS FOR ME…read moreFOREVER!!! Listen up, you beautiful degenerates of Colorado -- if you're anywhere near Castle Rock and you DON'T drop everything to go to The Brinkerhoff, you're actively choosing a life of sadness and regret. This place is perched up there like a goddamn castle overlooking the kingdom, windows so meticulously clean I could see my future in them (and it was eating more ribeye). The views? ABSURD. I'm talking "postcard from heaven" levels of ridiculous. You'll be stuffing your face while staring at scenery that makes you question why you ever lived in a basement apartment. The ambiance inside is straight-up opulent too -- crystal chandeliers dripping like diamonds, stone walls, red leather booths, and that massive framed vintage Beech 18 airplane photo that hits different. Speaking of which... My best friend Rob took one look at that classic twin-prop Beech 18 on the wall and the hairs on his arms stood straight up. Turns out he actually flew one of those exact legends back in the day. There's a killer story behind it -- ask the staff about it, they'll hook you up with the full tale. Goosebumps guaranteed. This place doesn't just serve dinner; it triggers full-on life flashbacks. The food? ABSURDITY-INDUCING. I'm still recovering. * Spicy Hiramasa Roll -- TO. DIE. FOR. Spicy tuna, avocado, cucumber, and pure culinary sorcery. One bite and I ascended. I blacked out and woke up speaking fluent sushi. * Big Island Ribeye (16oz, soy-marinated) -- OUT. OF. THIS. WORLD. Juicy, flavorful, marinated in what I can only assume is liquid gold and unicorn tears. MUST GET. I would fight a bear for this steak. I would marry this steak. Hell, I'd let this steak ruin my credit score. * Chipotle Glazed Wagyu Short Ribs -- These bad boys were so awesome I almost proposed. Sweet, smoky, melt-in-your-mouth perfection that made me question every other rib I've ever had. They were basically foreplay for the main course. And don't even get me started on the STAFF. These legends deserve their own parade. Big shoutout to our waiter Larson -- the man dropped recommendations like they were bars in a rap battle. 10/10 service, zero notes. GM Lisa came in hot on the 4th of July, straight from the sister property Sierra, working like a boss and being the friendliest, most knowledgeable human alive. Absolute queen behavior. GM Heather rolled up, made sure everything was flawless, and then dropped restaurant history knowledge like a TED Talk. I felt cultured AND fed. And eternal props to Chloe & Keiley in reservations -- we showed up AN HOUR LATE like the chaotic gremlins we are, and they still saved our seats. That's not service, that's sorcery. This crew isn't just outstanding -- they're the Avengers of hospitality. Outstanding food + god-tier staff + Beech 18 nostalgia that gives your pilot buddy chills = I'm moving in. 10/10. 100/10. Infinity/10. It's a MUST-GO when you're in Castle Rock. Bring your appetite, bring your people, bring stretchy pants, and bring your best stories. I'm already planning my return like it's a religious pilgrimage. Brinkerhoff, you absolute madlads -- thank you for existing. I love you. Never change. (Go. Now. Tell them the unhinged guy AND his Beech 18-flying buddy sent you.)
