Roaring Fork is an American Western Bistro. We utilize a combination of ingredients indigenous to the American West and locally grown, including produce, to capture the 'spirit' of the west. The restaurant offers a comfortable, laid back environment that includes friendly professional service and the highest quality food. A great deal of attention is paid in creating the recipes and always using ingredients that are found in the American West. Western cuisine is not a ceremony; it's a celebration! The robust flavors and the courage to try something different is what we are all about. We would like to invite everyone to experience our 'spirit' while enjoying our food and hospitality.

    We had not been in several years, visits back then were 5 stars. This visit was just average. The food lacked the spark of the past, all the old choices are still there, but the flavor execution has dropped.

    Service was outstanding and food was excellent. We had the mussels and chicken snacks for appetizers, and the deep fried chicken, rotisserie chicken and pork carnitas for entrees, and Mexican street corn and truffle fries for sides. Everything was delicious! Definitely will go back again!

    We arrived for dinner about 15 minutes prior to our 8:00 reservation. Half our party had just flown in from the east coast, so it was late for them Got seated at 8 PM and it seemed like EVERYTHING worked in slow motion. Gave orders for appetizers followed by our restaurant week menu items. Apps finally came out and it took forever for our salads to arrive. One of our steaks was cooked medium rare instead of medium well and had to go back for, you guessed it, a long time. Our server would appear and then disappear and ultimately, we had to ask for our desserts to go at 10 PM. Now I don't mind a long meal but it needs to be great to have me still eating after 10 PM and this was not the case at Roaring Fork. Food was good but typical for the establishment and nothing special.

    This restaurant is definitely a new favorite for me. I had never been, but I visited to celebrate my birthday and not only did they give me free dessert, they put a candle on the plate, which I thought was just so above and beyond. Also, our waiter was by far one of the best waiters I’ve ever had as he was very attentive and kind. I will definitely be going back with my family and friends.

    Not up to Roaring Fork standards. My husband’s short ribs were all fat and inedible. My shrimp and grits consisted of four shrimp, two spears of asparagus and a meager mound of grits.

    My daughter was in town and thought that I'd take her to dinner somewhere nice. A friend had recommended the Roaring Fork, so I made reservations just in case. We arrived right on time and were greeted and seated immediately. While we were walking to our table I couldn't help but notice the smell of the food being prepared as we walked by the open kitchen! WOW! We arrived at our table and our server, Austin, said that he'd overheard that this was our first visit to the Roaring Fork. He was very helpful and knowledgeable of the menu and prompt with any assistance. He took our order and our food was amazing! My daughter ordered a steak and I had the Big A** Burger! Everything cooked to perfection. We shared what was called "Green Chile Mac & Cheese"! WOW! A genius combination!! I'll never eat mac and cheese the same again! And I forgot to mention the starter of the "Skillet Cornbread"! It's definitely NOT what your Mom used to make! And what a delight!! We wound up taking some food home. What a great place! The ambiance was very nice, the food was amazing, and the service was Top Shelf! Would definitely recommend! We will return in the future!

    2 for 1 dinners are great. Otherwise pricey considering having to pay extra for sides, including even sauce for our steaks and mashed potatoes. Ambience on back enclosed patio is very poor because of the noisy A/C blowers with the only view of the roadway embankment. Front patio, which was closed, is much, much nicer.

    We love coming to Roaring Fork. And going when they have their buy 1 get 1 deal is even better. The green chili pork appetizer is worth the visit alone. The rotisserie chicken is great. Our cocktails were just so-so. The pecan pie dessert was really good. I normally don’t like pecan pie but their take in it was awesome. I’d get it again. No issues with service. It was a great night out.
