Devil's Kitchen - Hotel Maverick

Wow! The hostess, waitress, and manager were so pleasant and polite. You could tell they were genuinely enjoying their work. We sat outside on the deck where we had a nice view and listened to some great live music. Then came the food. I could grow old, fat, and happy just eating dinner here every night. Get the tater tots with the lavender ranch!

The Overlook at the college campus was amazing. Food was good.

The views are spectacular! The food and drinks were great. Bananas Foster as desert was fun and yum!!

The food was nicely presented, but average. The server was slightly aggressive, which was weird. The view and the outdoor dining space were really lovely. I would come here for drinks and an appetizer, but probably not for dinner.

Recommendations from wait staff were great and so was the food. The rooftop is perfect.

Great venue for a celebratory dinner. The food is unique and enticing. The service is excellent and the ambiance reflects that of fine dining in a big city.

This is a relatively new place, so one expects there might be a few wrinkles, but overall a very pleasant place to dine with friends. Our main issue was that there were several dishes and one cocktail that the kitchen/bar could not prepare because they were out of necessary ingredients. Not unusual to encounter this once, but to have 4 separate items be out of stock at peak dinner hour seems a bit strange. Service and atmosphere were great. Food was good, but there is room for refinement. The complimentary "amuse bouche" we were served was described as a preview of the flavors that formed the focal point of the menu, but over the course of the evening those flavors were not apparent in our food. The meals were well prepared and appealing to the eye. The elk burger was cooked as requested, juicy, and flavorful, but the accompaniments - gruyere, grilled onions, and garlic aioli - didn't, in my view, really add much to the dish. The "stacked" tamale was interesting, but the bison filling was more like stew than a southwestern-style tamale filling. Very tasty and savory, but not characteristic of what I'd expect to find in a tamale. The dish would also have benefitted from an element of acid / crunchy texture - the tangy corn salsa that came with the amuse bouche, for example. The papusas appetizer was delicious, as were the cocktails, so no complaints on those. We look forward to returning for another dinner and trying out lunch at Devil's Kitchen, and seeing how the restaurant develops over time.

Bar service was outstanding. We were seated promptly and greeted by our server immediately. Other than server needing better guidance on wine service everything was good related to service. My husband‘s monstrous pile of jasmine rice so far exceeded the size of his steak it just unbalanced the plate visually. Loved their artichoke and potato appetizer.

Good food, beautiful setting. Enjoyed the waitstaff - students at Colorado Mesa University.

Second time here in a month - delicious food, creative beverages, terrific views, convenient location. Thanks to all!

Fabulous! Love live music outside and Janine is THE BEST server!

What a fantastic and delicious experience! Ambience could not have been better on a beautiful Colorado fall night with a wonderful acoustic musician playing on the deck outside. I brought my mother here as a special treat to see the new Maverick and Devil's Kitchen and we were both so impressed. Bison Tamale Stack and Salmon were the best, and a number of great local wine selections to perfectly complement. We ate at the bar and bartender (forgot her name) was attentive and friendly despite being incredibly busy! Looking forward to coming back soon. Kudos to all involved in this new culinary pearl here in Grand Junction.

Good food decent service, rather bland, clinical atmosphere.

Amazing view of our valley and the food is good. Service was good. I liked the French press coffee.

This is an amazing place with an incredible menu. I only had the appetizers because they looked so good. I will definitely be coming back to try the main courses. Also they a really creative and delicious cocktail menu. Definitely a hidden gem in the valley and the only restaurant with a rooftop view of the monument. Outside seating is also available when the weather permits

Service wasn’t all that good, the shrimp primavera was bland but still okay. Overall, it was pretty good.

Fantastic location and service. From front range but make it a stop every time we are in GJ

Excellent service, food, atmosphere once again! Food presentation is top of the line! Local beverages were found at the bar! Excellent service and amazing fall views from the patio! Thanks for a great date night!

Excellent food. Great service. We look forward to going back.

Staff need training. Menu items needs to be available. Two signature items were not available eat 6pm on a Saturday night. Service was deplorable.

Best views available in the entire Grand Valley! The cocktail menu was fabulous as well as the food!

Service very personable, food very tasty. Table by window with beautiful view. We enjoyed our evening. Thank you.

The food was outstanding!!
Janine our waitress was great.

Gorgeous view! Welcoming staff. The food was good and presented nicely.
We had:
Slope summer salad - crisp fruity and delicious!
Burger trio - meat lacked flavor, but fries and pickle were great!
Sweet potato pupusas - tasty sweet/salty round thin tamale
Bananas foster - I’ve had many beautifully presented decadent mouthwatering presentations of this dessert. This fell far from the mark. Not to mention the scratched tephlon pan😳
Bacon donuts - warm fun dish!
Bellini - Candy sweet
Red wine blend- yummy and $6!
Overall, we would go again for the view, welcoming attentive staff and ambience.

Absolutely loved this restaurant!! Great place to be!

The ambiance and food are outstanding! Would definitely visit again.

An amazing restaurant, outstanding service, food is exceptional!! Highly recommend and a must visit! Thank you!

I love to eat here. The atmosphere, the food and the people are fantastic.

Food had no flavor, waitress was dull. Was disappointed with the pricing as well.

The staff was amazing! There were very friendly and helpful. The food was top notch! Very happy with our experience, we will be returning Often.

The food was interesting, but lacked proper seasoning. I don't use a lot of salt and pepper myself, so to find that the seasoning was lacking was a bummer.

Great place, cool views, awesome food! Will go again!

Devils Kitchen is my new go to in Grand Junction. The staff is always helpful and the food is delicious and such a wonderful change of pace. Everything from the salads to the donuts for dessert are fantastic! Thank you CMU for bringing the hospitality program to Grand Junction and this exciting new addition to GJ.

Upon arriving to Devil's Kitchen, we were greeted by the welcoming hostess Kaycclynn, she asked what type of seating we would prefer and led us to our table. The views from our crystal clear floor to ceiling windows was impeccable. You can see the Colorado Mesa University Campus, Bookcliffs, Mount Garfield, and the Grand Mesa.
Our server Lauren took our orders promptly and brought us an appetizer. She checked on us frequently to see if we have any needs. I ordered the "Rich Boy" and my friend had the "Devil's Burger" both entrees are cooked to our liking, the sweet potato tots are to die for.
We had the chance to meet the manager Tracy, who was a lovely lady that told us more about the hotel, the restaurant, and the coffee shop on the first floor of Hotel Maverick.
Our experience at Devil's Kitchen was very pleasant from the beginning to the end, will definitely be returning soon.

A perfect dining experience! Great food, service and ambiance. There was some great live music - wonderful talent but not too loud. And I was grateful for a vegan entree option!

Lovely rooftop location, cool decor and great background music make for a chilled vibe. Nice service.
Food just ok but would still recommend for the overall experience.

Finally, here in the grand valley we have a restaurant that provides quality food, servers that take pride in their work and a wonderful ambience. Our observation while dining was that all the patrons were enjoying a positive experience. Good job to all!

Food was really good and extremely reasonable price point wise. Views and ambiance on the roof top deck were great also. Overall I'd highly recommend this place and think it's a great addition to Grand Junction (which seems to have minimal more exciting dining options to be honest).

Great food and drinks! Service was great as well. Awesome view too!

Every time I eat at this place I’m blown away that we have a restaurant like this in Grand Junction. Highly recommended the deviled eggs for an appetizer and bananas foster for dessert. Our group went crazy over the lobster and waffles and the ceviche. YUMMY! Whatever you order, you won’t be disappointed!
