About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for happy hour
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.

    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.

    This was our first visit to Roaring Fork! We’ve been wanting to go for literally decades and finally made it for our 31st Anniversary. We’ve made 7:00 reservations ahead of time. We were greeted & seated immediately with a Happy Anniversary card. Our drink order was taken & served promptly. Both the house & huckleberry margaritas were delicious. We ordered steak salad and a Caesar salad with salmon. Both were perfectly cooked & delicious. The service, however, seemed rushed. Our server did not seem focused in, forgetting to put in our order for a second margarita. He also only brought one cup of (lukewarm) coffee at the end of our meal when we ordered 2. We did receive not just one, but 2 complimentary desserts for our anniversary but we were pretty sure the server was making up for the forgotten beverages or he forgot to ring up the second dessert. The Apple crumble and the pecan brownie desserts were both served in hot skillets and were delicious. We had to stop our server for to go boxes when he zipped past saying goodbye. The restaurant was not overly busy on this Wednesday night but it seemed maybe he was also working in the bar. We’ll return for the amazing food & atmosphere and hope for more dedicated service.

    Our service was exceptional. We always enjoy this restaurant. However they no longer stock the liquor I like, and it is nothing special. The food, the lamb fondue was delicious. My duck was over cooked and had very little sauce. I always loved this. My husband and one of our guests had pork loin that was also over cooked and dry. The grits and man n cheese were very good and the wine was delicious for the 3 who were drinking it. We were disappointed with the food.

    Exceptional experience! Personable staff and unbelievable food’ As with most other reviews, do not miss the green chili stew’. Possibly the best filet I’ve ever had and street corn that is the envy of all others.

    Haven’t been to the restaurant in many many years. Delicious food, great menu, and pleasant atmosphere. We will return and maybe next time, we will try Happy Hour. Thank you for a delightful evening.

    The staff was wonderful and the music was just the right level, sound wise. My dinner was excellent. The reason I gave it 3 stars overall was the wait service. Our waiter forgot that I had asked for a glass of wine at dinner so when he brought dinner my husband also told him that we would like two glasses of wine. The waiter brought mine but totally forgot my husband. After a bit of flagging down, we managed to get a server's attention. She was lovely. Our server brought the bill over without asking if we would like dessert. We therefore skipped ordering desert, which we would have definitely ordered had we been asked.
