    The Roaring Fork's Wood Fired Cooking captures the spirit of bold American cuisine, creating flavors that crackle with a rugged edge. In the Old West, the best food was prepared on a simple wood fire. This same spirit, freshness and flavor are at the heart of every dish we serve.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Roaring Fork in Scottsdale offers "unbelievable food" with a "great atmosphere" and "personable staff." Diners rave about the green chili stew and "possibly the best filet" they've had. While the noise level can be high, the "friendly and efficient" service and delectable dishes like duck, salmon, and skillet cornbread make it a standout choice.

    We have been enjoying the Roaring Fork for three decades; always outstanding food in an aesthetically wonderful setting. We always request seating in the rear of the seating area and prefer a booth, whether it is just two of us or four. Larger groups up to eight and 10 can be seated at round tables. The seating ambience is comfortable with dim lighting. Start out with Manhattan or vodka/tonic and lead into a market salad, which they split and is very generous. Main selection can be salmon, 1/2 chicken, tenderloin with grits or buttermilk chicken with mashed potatoes; absolutely delicious every time. Add in the green chile macaroni and cheese.....a real must. Once split the 22 ounce steak with a friend.......outstanding! Finish the evening with a rootbeer float and you have a marvelous meal and delightful eventing. The staff is always superb! The Roaring Fork, named after the river in Western Colorado, offers Gold Medal Water for trout. The Roaring Fork is a Gold Medal Restaurant! Spend an evening ordering from an outstanding menu, great restaurant ambience and fine service. You will return often with friends who enjoy conversation and delicious drinks and a varied, marvelous menu. Compliments again to the chef and staff.

    Food & ambience was ok, expected more, and the menu was a bit boring. The appetizers were tasty but chicken on the Caesar salad was dry and the salmon was under seasoned but cooked well. My green beans were not cooked through, very stiff but not crunchy like raw, it was weird. Our waitress was very friendly but acted a bit awkward and goofy with a slow start. Ultimately she did a good job but that mixed with the underwhelming food made for a disappointing experience. We had a good time together with our visit, just didn’t hit like we thought it was going to.

    The overall experience was very nice. The only downside was the table we were at was very dark. There was very little lighting which made it difficult to read the menu.

    I love this resturant , and we go there regularly , but recently the food and specially the service is getting worst. I ordered grilled Trout which was not fresh and smelled awful. The worst part is the waitress and the service . We were sitting in front of service station, at a time that resturant was not crowded at all but we were in the mercy of whoever was passing by to bring our food . The waitress just busy chatting around with two tables only . Once in a while stopped by to arrange out plates around !!!! WE WILL NOT GOING BACK THERE EVER AGAIN

    We have been coming to Roaring Fork for a few years and have always enjoyed the food and service. Last night we went and were quite disappointed with the service and food. The quality of food wasn’t like we have always remembered it to be. We aren’t sure if management changed or recipes did or both. Maybe it was just an off night last night? When you spend that kind of money, you hope the experience and food will match that. Hopefully, this review will be helpful.

    Great food and service and very comfortable outside (even in heat). only issue was noise level - very loud and hard to hear conversation at our table.
