“The food was pretty good across the board. The sweet potatoes had a sweet seasoning. The mac and cheese could maybe use a little more flavor. The serving size was very generous.I will note that we waited about 30 minutes to receive our bills and have our cards run, which made for a not as great experience.“

“We visited yesterday. They were short staffed, only one person at the front taking orders (dine in and take out), serving and checking out! We sat for 10 minutes without water while waiting to place orders. She was very nice and apologized for the delay. Food was average for me (eggs Benedict, eggs were overcooked, not enough hollandaise), but spiced Chai was good! My friends' meals were good- ranging from burger to sandwiches, skillet, and chicken noodle soup. I am impressed that they made the fries from scratch!“

“Eaten and had drinks here a few times in the past couple years with small and midsize groups(8+ people). Went back this weekend and appreciated it looked like they’ve done some renovations. The food is consistently decent bar fair. The cheese curds are very tasty and come with an excellent sauce. Burgers are good and decent size. Drinks are also fairly good and decently priced for a tourist town- enjoyed the Colorado bulldog which can be hit or miss. Our server, Marcos, was nice and accommodating when we requested to move to a low top table.Wheelchair accessibility: Women’s restroom access is pretty narrow, not sure it could easily accommodate more than a walker, or perhaps a narrow wheelchair. I don’t believe it would be able to accommodate a power chair unless child size.“

“Outstanding in every respect! Destiney was our server and she should be considered an ambassador to for this Pub, couldn’t have asked for a more delightful and professional person! Best burger either my wife or I have Ever had, that coupled with the best Margarita we have had in years. We ate at the old Wapiti a few years back and it was OK at best. Don’t judge the new by the old, with the move to the new location they raised the bar to an entirely different level, this is our new Go-To pub in Estes! ]Thank You for the Wonderful experience,Dave, Kris and Jenni“

“Excellent atmosphere, we stop in several times a year. Food is, very meh. From the hot breakfast bagel sandwiches that are mushy and falling apart to the tomato mozzarella on toast, they’re all pretty worthless and something you’d get in grade school honestly.Coffee drinks are run of the mill, some better than others but they get the job done and aren’t bad by any means; which is all I need to keep returning to feed the ducks and relax with a drink.“

“Service was decent. It did not take long to place an order and get out food. Restaurant can get very crowded and by extension a bit dirty - but I'm not going to knock the staff for that because they seem to be doing their best. Food has been a bit too salty both times I've been. A bit pricey but also not knocking because it's average for Estes. Don't bother getting the avacado burger - while the avacado "patties" look really interesting, it is expensive and really isnt that good. Overall, would probably come again if I'm in Estes and want a burger.“

“Right on the tourist strip and usually that is reason for locals to stay away. Their name used to be "The locals ...". A friend from out of town came here and enjoyed it and recommended it. We had good service and good food. Excellent burger, the lobster Mac&Cheese looked standard elbow noodles, but the flavor was really good. Seems like a small place with a full bar with a pretty extensive whiskey selection. Plenty of drink options. We enjoyed our first trip“

We ordered it with the tremendous mushroom crème sauce. The tres leches bread pudding was incredible and a great way to end our meal!“

“Absolutely beautiful setting just outside Rocky Mountain national Park!!! Stunning rooms with views of the mountains. Great service, sat next to a nice fireplace. Great sized prints, very simple classic steakhouse style food but fun requests on the classics with wild game and decadent sauces on the menu. Execution of the filet mignon and and elk ribeye were spot on, perfect simple seasoning. The baked Brie was a really great starter, and the cheesecake was phenomenal (very classic cream cheese forward style) and carrot cake was great. Service was great and friendly. We will be going back for special occasions!!!“

The ambiance is very warm & cozy and the drinks are excellent. I had an espresso martini which was delicious! A little pricey but I think it's worth it for the nice experience and a chance for a fun activity at the Stanley.“
