Absolutely a great place to enjoy a delicious meal with wonderful service. Karen truly made the whole experience extra special. She was truly a delight and is exceptional. It was a gorgeous day to eat outside too. The bbq sauce was so good. I had to purchase a bottle and bring it home to Texas. I've never done that. Highly recommend this restaurant and Karen. Thank you.

We shared the bacon and bleu burger which was very good. We got the hatch pork chili but had a lot of tomatoes. Added on a cornbread it didn't seem fresh nor hot. Had to ask for butter multiple times. We ate outside which was very nice.

A delicious, consistent in the heart of downtown Grand Lake. I have spent every summer of my life enjoying the magic of Grand Lake. At least once a weekend, we head into town for dinner and almost always the choice is Sage Brush! The service is friendly and warm, the food is comforting to the stomach and soul, and the drinks are reliably tasty and refreshing! Family favorites are the Saturday Prime Rib Dinner, Pan-Fried Fresh Rainbow Trout, and Wild Game Sausage Platter ... although you can't go wrong with just about anything on their extensive menu chalk full of local delicacies such as buffalo and elk. Reservations are recommended, especially at popular times on weekends and holidays (walk in wait times have known to be hours during peak hours). I strongly suggest dining on one of the patios (outside or indoor with garage style open walls that both overlook the main street).

We only had one night in grand lake, and we chose them at random. An overall excellent experience. They got 4 stars for atmosphere only because of the noise. But it’s not really a ding. They are popular and people were enjoying time together. Stanford our server was friendly and attentive. My wife had the Salmon Ceasar and I the 1/2 rack. I did not leave hungry. Wonderful!

Sagebrush BBQ & Grill is a restaurant in Grand Lake with a large menu and lots to choose from. There's ample seating outside with umbrellas and shade. I didn't see what seating was like inside, but the place is a hopping spot so I'm sure it's great! I had Blueberry Moscow Mule, (alcohol free version) a dinner salad and a burger with fries . The mocktail was excellent, and I'd definitely try other beverages. The salad was fresh and I liked the house made dressing. The burger was just ok. The patty was lacking seasoning and was overcooked for what I ordered (med rare). The fries were nice and crispy, and seasoned well. Unfortunately, the burger was really disappointing and really impacted my food review.

Busy restaurant. We waited at the hostess stand for about 5 minutes, some patrons noticed us waiting and notified the hostess. We were seated right away then. Our server was great. I had the house white zindendal, it was perfect. The bourbon cocktail was delicious. The fries are decent. Not a fan of the okra, it wasn't seasoned properly & not crunchy. The hatch Chile black bean burger was delicious. I did receive a wrong burger at first but thankfully I checked the burger before taking a bite. The server was great about getting my right order out quickly. The restaurant is a bit dusty though, nice & open & spacious. There's outdoor & indoor seatings. The price here is just about the same as the grand lodge restaurant but decent food and lots of options for everyone.

Maybe it was because I had been hiking all morning in RMNP, or maybe it was the awesome weather, but I lived this place. The staff was really friendly and the food was great. I wish I had come at dinner for some of the steak or ribs. I had the Red Buffalo Chili and the Summer Salad with blueberries, strawberries, blue cheese, walnuts, etc. Both were EXCELLENT. And don't miss out on the Cadillac Margarita. They don't skimp on the tequila.

My wife and I visited in April of 2024 during the shoulder season. Things were pretty quiet in the town, but this place was open. What an absolute gem! 1st the food is fantastic. They don't skimp on portion size, and the pulled pork sandwich was amazing. They also do a gluten-free bun. Service was friendly and attentive, and for you, history buffs, this place is a must visit since they have a lot of historical items from the more wild west days of the late 1800's. If you're exploring Grand Lake , take a break and eat here.

Well wow-- this was a great experience for us! My husband got the meatloaf dinner and the vegetable of the day was broccoli and I swear that stole the show. It was so delicious. The brown gravy on the potatoes was to DIE for as well! The buffalo meatloaf was so tender and you could get the red sauce or brown gravy and I think it would have been even better with the gravy instead. My tuna melt was fantastic though I do wish it had come with lettuce and tomato. But the sourdough bread was phenomenal and the tuna salad was wonderful and light and just what I needed. We also had the peach cobbler and peanut butter pie for dessert and we both agree the peanut butter pie was the winner! But both were great! The only negative? Pepsi products are served here and we are Coke people! But they did have Dr. Pepper so we did just fine!! Our server was nice and attentive and the staff we interacted with were all friendly. The restaurant has some definite charisma with the backstory being it used to house the town jail! So neat. Everything was clean inside, too! There were TVs in the bar area playing various sports games and that was really nice. Overall, definitely recommend. Bonus: as Memphians we LOVED seeing Memphis bbq on the menu!!! Can't wait to come back again sometime!

Atmosphere: 7/10 very cozy and good decorations but also they played country music the whole time and I get it's a western thing but they could put some variety on Service: 10/10 waitress was very nice and good vibes fr fr food was out lightning fast Food: 8.5 got the BBQ Chipotle Burger and idk if I was just mad hungry from skiing but this thing was high key bussing no kizzy fries were slightly soggy but I still munched them all up.

Loved the BBQ from Sagebrush. Sipped on a 90 Shilling at the cute bar while waiting on our carryout lunch. Food was up quickly. Veggie green chili and cornbread for my wife and BBQ sampler for me. Touchdown, mustard sauce! Did not expect to find that. I love BBQ and the sampler gave a taste of everything they do well here-hot link, ribs, brisket and pulled pork. Excellent smoke rings on the tasty meat. Good smoky sauce for the brisket, and that delicious mustard one for everything else I could put it on. My wife also loved her chili and cornbread. BBQ fix success. Thanks Sagebrush!

While in a t-shirt shop in Grand Lake we ask one of the employees what restaurant would he recommend to have lunch. He responded The Sagebrush Grill. We actually walked passed it earlier and thought it looked like a good place, only one exception no Coke only Pepsi. Our waitress was from Romania and was real nice. She suggested the Triple Brisket sandwich which I ordered and my wife have a Pulled Pork Memphis style sandwich which she liked. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was my sweet potato French fries which my wife enjoyed. Overall good place to eat in Grand Lakes Colorado.

Service was quick and friendly and the ribs were amazing! They also have a bar and then a coffee and ice cream bar too.

The Sagebrush is "The" place for food, spirits and camaraderie with your buddies and friends. Great wait staff and ambiance.

We came here after heading out of Timber Creek campground in Rocky Mountain National Park. It was an easy drive and the town was cute. I will say the service wasn't the best, the host didn't say one word to us when we entered or left. She just sat us in silence, weird. We definitely pigged out since we were starving from camping and hiking the day before. I ordered the grits and a bagel with cream cheese (but they forgot the cream cheese). Also they sadly didn't have everything bagels. My friend's pancakes weren't cooked in the middle. Other than that the food was good, but I mean it was pretty standard breakfast food. I personally wouldn't come back but both of my friends liked it.

A bustling lunch and dinner spot towards the end of the boardwalk area of Grand Lake. Touristy for sure - complete with merchandise like Tshirts and hats with their logo on it in a separate shop area. The dine in space was packed with an hour wait during lunch, so we opted for carry out and took our lunch to Pointe Park down the street. It was beautiful and we really enjoyed it. The worker taking our order recommended the buffalo and elk sausages, plus their brisket. We asked for some bread (to make sandwiches with) and he put in orders of cornbread. We thought this was honestly the only item we ordered that seriously disappointed us. They were seriously dry and very bland. Everything else was delicious though, including the fries we got. They loaded us up with plenty of sauces and eating utensils too.

Had lunch here today, place was packed but we had no wait and our server was awesome (he's from Indianapolis, but sadly didn't catch his name!) We both ordered "name your own platter" hubs had brisket, no sauce, baked beans, sweet potato fries and cornbread. I had pulled pork no sauce, baked sweet potato, beans and cornbread. Honestly the best food we have had in ages and well worth $23.99 for each dinner. The restaurant was super cute and I'm super sad we don't live here to eat more often!

It is about 4.25 stars. This BBQ place is very popular. We arrived at 1pm still have to wait for 25 minutes in line. They are popular with tourists and local. We pick this place is because of the games meat BBQ in the menu. We got the wild games meat three sausages. It is the buffalo Bratwurst, wild boar sausage, and the elk bratwurst. The sausages are delicious. It is different local made sausages. For the entree we have the Trail Ridge bbq Sampler. This dish have rib, spicy pork sausage, brisket and pull pork. This dish allow you to sampler their bbq. We also got pan seared rainbow trout. The trout is fresh from the river. Overall our experience is special and food is delicious. Service is good too. Food also come out quick.

Coming from Kansas city, This bbq place easily caught my eye when planning this weekend trip to Colorado because of the good reviews. I can say this place is worth all the hype. We ordered: Bbq Pork Ribs 9.5/10 Buffalo meat loaf 9/10 Salmon 9/10 Service & Ambience was very good too. Food came really quick. Their Spicy bbq sauce is one you should never forget. You gotta stop by this place whenever you're near Grand Lake or the west side of Rocky Mountain National park.

I'm local to the area and avoid this place because of the crowds and wait times usually. Unfortunately the times I've been the food has been pretty mediocre. Today got take out breakfast and when I opened the box I thought it was odd the biscuit sandwich was in there upside down. When I flipped it over I noticed the biscuit was totally stale and crumbled apart. Makes sense why they were trying to hide it. Probably won't be back for awhile. Not worth what we are paying for what we are getting.

We are visiting from out of state and staying at local cabin so came into town for the barbecue due to the reviews. Our waiter, Chad, approached our outside table and asked if we wanted beverages. He explained a few beer choices and off he went to fill the order and then brought me water. When he brought the beer we ordered our meal and picked the 4 meat sampler. When arriving from the kitchen, we knew it was too much even to share between us two. We opted to not have the sauce put on in the kitchen and I was glad of that. The original and the spicy were more tomato flavor than southern style and the spicy had an after burn. The mustard based tasted of dill and mustard. Most meats sis not need the sauce. The brisket had too much fat and when cut off was good taste but only 80% lean. Ribs were quite fatty also meaning not totally rendered in smoking. The chicken was good. Service was mediocre, finally asking how taste was when we were done. The beans side was minuscule. Summary too much protein and not enough vegetables or sides in my opinion

One our big rv trip this July/August , we visited Grand Lake, CO. We were fortunate to find the Sagebrush BBQ and grill with an open table outside. Our food was great. Taco Salads, smoked meals, and of course Cold Beer. The service was awesome and...people watching was the best! Thank you, Sagebrush!!!

Rachel M.

Yelp
After a long backpacking trip, we were excited to have a burger. We both got the Swiss and cheese elk burger. Unfortunately, we were disappointed. The burger was not warm enough and lacked flavor. The servers were kind and helpful, but unfortunately, the food was just OK. The fries, both sweet potato and regular, we're just OK as well. Each burger was about $22, so we were a bit disappointed when everything was just OK.

Yelp
Really good barbecue. The select 4 meat option platter is massive more than enough for two people. I would recommend doing 2 rib servings and 2 briskets bc the brisket and ribs were delicious! As an app we got the red chili + salad and it was also very solid and a great starter.

Dawn B.

Yelp
Really great food! Along with great food the service was awesome also. Best margarita I have had in a long time! Going back to try breakfast.

If your local Rib Crib is the bbq spot for you, then Sagebrush is perfect. If you like moist bbq and good sides, with a great smoke flavor you might want to go elsewhere. But Grand Lake only offers this. The bbq sampler platter was very average, but the sausage was good with the mustard dip. Everything else was average. I wouldn't go back.

David P.

Yelp
Alrighty this review comes a day after my stomach was destroyed....food was overall decent very big portions but definitely got food poisoning or something didn't settle well as I literally almost pooped my pants mid hike. All the food needed salt / more sauce. And brisket was dry The other guys I was with enjoyed the food.

Victoria L.

Yelp
This restaurant has elk and bison meat on their menu, which I appreciated. Otherwise, it was mostly basic bar food/ western food. I had a salad, which was good (albeit not very creative). After sitting down at our booth, the seat was littered with crumbs and very dirty. There were dead bugs on the window sills along with more dirt and crumbs. Our server was very friendly. Other than that, this place is average. I probably would not go back or recommend unless you're in a pinch.

We always go to the Sagebrush when in Grand Lake. Good food, fun atmosphere, and it feels like a great neighborhood bar. Good steaks. Waitstaff is always courteous and pleasant. The Sagebrush is always open, when many restaurants close during the off season. Prices are reasonable and the menu has something for everyone. Central location, this is a local treasure. Owners are good people, too.

Arrived 1 hour early for New Years Eve reservation. The owner, Dave found us a spot at the bar in front of a big screen TV so we could have a drink and watch the Penn State game. Bartenders were friendly and made great recomdations. Dave talked to everyone including us like we were old friends. Were seated right on time for our dinner . Food was fabulous. Best staff I have seen in a long time. Friendly , efficient, and knowledgeable . Great place to spend New Years Eve before a show. If we were local this would be our go to place. Will definetly be back next time we are visiting the area. Well done!

Very disappointing. The reviews on yelp looked good but the food and service were disappointing. I ordered the Buffalo chili. It was dried out and bland. Before I even got to finish the chili the buffalo meatloaf entree was delivered. I hurried to finish the chili only to find the meatloaf room temperature. Same with the sweet potato. Clearly prepared and rushed to the table. The sweet potato was good. The meatloaf very disappointing. It was late. I needed food. I did not enjoy it and will not be back. The next morning I come into town and every breakfast place that yelp says is open is closed. Except for here. Now I'm horrified but desperately hungry. There's no way I can do a ten mile hike in 30degree weather on an empty stomach. So I hold my nose and go in. The first piece of good news is the morning staff are much friendlier and better at their jobs. They had a pretty complete and traditional breakfast menu. I went with the salmon Benedict. It was actually decent. Not the quality of a good breakfast house but ok. Eggs were poached correctly which is rare.

Food was OK. BBQ was dry (brisket triple decker grilled cheese). Wild game Sausages were awesome! Drinks were hit and miss (alcohol). Server had to be asked several times for the smallest things. (Silverware, water refill, small plates for appetizers) All in all it was "ok". Small town with little options means it will still always be busy though.

Great food! and great employees! It always nice to support a small business in grand lake!

Very friendly service and we were seated outside as we wanted. The salads were good. The brisket was too fatty and the mustard bbq sauce was not great. We enjoyed the other parts and the waitress was super!

Yelp
We got two 4 meat samplers.. it was pretty average tourist quality. They drenched some items in BBQ sauce, which is what you do if your cooking sux so you can hide the lack of flavor... they should not do that, they don't need to. I'm going to try it again next time buy only get brisket and sausage Quick run-down... Peach cobbler : good flavor, good size *4 stars Brisket : Moist and pretty good flavor, just tell them NO BBQ sauce on the meat! *3 stars Elk Sausage : excellent, *5 stars! ... the ONLY standout of what we had Meatloaf : dry, very dry and lacked flavor. we really like meatloaf and no one liked this, at all *1 star Chicken : so-so, nothing special. *2 stars Ribs : bad, greasy, gristly, and its the riblet ends, not the rack you get at most places. (see photo of the pile of yuck) *0 stars Sides : so-so but 0 Stars since they are teeny tiny. Maybe 2 oz at most and you only get 2 of them on a plate with 4 meats. Huh? Cheap-azz, give people another 5 cents worth of food and give 4 sides for 4 meats, at least.

We had a great experience at Sagebrush back in July. First, they have outdoor seating which we needed because we had our dog Second, the food was great and very tasty Third, and the most important, we had incredible service!! I wish I could remember her name because she was amazing!! She was so kind to our granddaughter and just went out of her way to connect with all of her tables. We will definitely put this restaurant on our radar when in the area.

I've been taking sometime to write this review. I would have loved to give five stars, but our server Patti, ruined our experience. I spared giving 1 or 2 stars because management made it right but I just could not believe how our server treated us. We chose Sagebrush BBQ & Grill as our night before our wedding dinner. We are from the Kansas City area so barbecue is our thing and we were super excited to try it out. We called the day before to reserve a table for 12 and we were able to with no problems. Someone called the next day asking if we wanted inside or outside and we chose the outside. We waited for maybe five minutes and we were sat right away. As soon as Patti approached our table we could tell her vibe was off. She seemed very annoyed from the get-go. We were not difficult customers. In fact I used to be a server and another person in our party is a hospitality manager, so we know how it is and weren't super needy. Before we ordered we communicated to her we'd be separate checks, but she brushed it off and said she'd get it later, in which later it became a problem. I personally asked Patti what she recommended. Her response was something about she's been working there for so long, nothing is good but still gave some recommendations. My husband started with the Rocky Mountain oysters. He loved them, but they were not my thing. They were very rubbery and if you don't know what Rocky Mountain oysters are, look it up. Maybe it was the idea of what they actually are that I didn't like. For my meal, I got the half rack of ribs with fries and cottage cheese. it also came with a slice of cornbread. The cornbread was pretty dry but still edible. The fries, ribs and cottage cheese were very good. I would have loved a side of ranch for my fries, but due to Patti's energy I was too afraid to ask her, so I just went without. I added more barbecue sauce that was on the table to my ribs. My husband got the trail ridge sampler and said it was very good. He really enjoyed the mustard barbecue. A little girl in our group did not like her mac & cheese, so her parents kindly asked if they could sub it for something else in which Patti openly rolled her eyes. Again, everything was such a problem to Patti. Then when it came time to get checks is when it really went down. We were sitting at two separate tables that were next to each other. My parents were paying for mine and my husband's meal, and they were at the other table. When we told Patti, she dropped her machine in a fuss and complained how we were on separate tables and how she'd have to merge them. Again, we tried to be accommodating and said we could make two separate payments but she ended up figuring it out. Sagebrush uses the toast machines where the server can take payment at the table. As a server, it's a common courtesy to present the receipts before taking payment but Patti did not do this. She simply told us the total amount. One of the totals didn't seem right, and they asked for the receipt again Patti made a fuss about it, and when she turned around, I heard her mumble "I hate people!" sure enough when they got their receipt they were overcharged and had items that didn't belong to them. Had Patty listen to us from the start that we were on separate checks this wouldn't have been an issue. I can't believe I heard her say I hate people when she knows good and well she works in customer service and in a tourist town. After leaving, we could not get over our experience and the guy who is a hospitality manager, went back to talk to the manager. he tried to make it right by offering gift cards, but we didn't plan on going back anytime soon. He simply just wanted him to be aware of the issue and the manager was very apologetic. The mom of the family who was overcharged and prompted Patti to say she hated people, also ended up going back to talk to the manager as they were very upset. Again, the manager was very apologetic and ended up comping a meal from their ticket. Again, I wish I could get five stars, I even considered four since the manager made it right but I still just cannot believe how Pati treated us. We'd love to go back again if we ever in town just with a different server.

The Sagebrush is always dependable. We've eaten at this restaurant for several consecutive summers. Their food is always delicious and their beer is cold. Nice drinks from the bar as well. We have had their ribs, bison burgers, kids meals as well as different burgers, including the tasty triple decker. So good we keep coming back. Friendly, efficient service tops off our experience. We'll be back next July!!

Cute little restaurant in the beautiful town of Grand lake. It was nicely decorated with license plates from different states, pictures and maps of grand lake and Rocky Mountain national park area. The wooden seating made for a rustic seating. Our server was super nice and friendly. We ordered the vegetarian burrito, cheese garlic bread, veggie chilli and Santa Fe chicken sandwich. The food was good although chicken sandwich was a little bland. We enjoyed the meal and touristy restaurant vibes :)

While in Grand Lake my wife and I decided to stop in for a little late lunch. This place was great. The service, the food etc. We just got some apps and beers and they were great. I would definitely go back here again to try a full meal.

Lovely stop before your hike. They have an assortment of apps and lunch options as well as cocktails and draft beers. They even have Rocky Mountain oysters if you want those

Food is diverse and great, we recommend the trout. Great patio during good weather. Pup friendly

The food, service and ambiance were all top notch. We had breakfast and dinner there during our stay at Grand Lake. The brisket melted in my mouth, my daughter loved her salad and my husband my husband had a burrito which he said was delicious. Our breakfasts were equally as tasty. My eggs were cooked to perfection (over easy) and the French toast better than almost any I have eaten in a restaurant. My only negative observation is that we had to wait quite a bit the second day we went there for breakfast for someone to even come to the front. I don't think that's good business but when they got there, they were friendly which helped. I would highly recommend it.

Ray W.

Yelp
Very friendly waitress. The bbq was flavorful. The wedge salad was full of bacon, but recommend getting dressing on the side--there was a way too much on the lettuce. Cornbread was mediocre and dry. Potato salad did not have a lot of flavor. Fried okra was delicious. The peach cobbler had 2 small slices of peaches in a dry and tasteless breading.

Yun-Wen L.

Yelp
Food/Taste/Flavor: 5/5 - Green Chili with Pork had quite a kick. The soup already cooled by the time we received the food so the cheese was more solidified. Definitely more of a sour profile, but we did enjoy the soup Create your own platter with Pulled Pork, Brisket, Buffalo Meatloaf, and Wild Boar Sausage with mashed potatoes and gravy & sweet potato fries. The pulled pork was dry so you need a lot of barbecue sauce to help it along. The brisket was our favorite! Tender, juicy, and soft with a hint of seasoning, it can be eaten by itself or with sauce. The meatloaf was quite good with the marinara/ketchup sauce that almost reminds us of Italian meatballs. The sausage was a bit sweet and had split opinions Ambience: N/A - ordered food to go. Very loud but still possible to hold conversation. Music is somewhat faint compared to clanking tableware and upbeat conversations. Lots of larger parties but also has bar option to sit solo. Warm, cozy, and homey yellow lighting which is dim compared to outside sunlight (however much sunlight there is at 7PM). The ceiling fans are running to keep air flow but it makes the light flicker constantly on your face. Lots of miscellaneous collection of license plates and memorabilia on the wall Service: 5/5 - ordered to-go at the bar with only one server managing the phones and all pick up orders. Very polite and apologetic for the wait. The hostess and other waitresses are quick and happy to help if they see you standing around Value for price: 5/5 - a bit on the pricier side but it's reasonable for the area and amount of tourism it supports

We stayed in Grand Lake two nights. Our first lunch was at Sagebrush. We were not overly hungry, so I shared a Chicken Nacho, and our daughter had the soup. I would say, we need to give it another shot to be fair. Nachos were dry, and soup was okay. We are guessing you come here for BBQ? It was a friend's favorite place to eat in town, so that is why we would give it another try.

This is one of the places we desided to stop in at in Gradby CO, we enjoyed the food and beers. Service was great and fast this place had TVs so we could watch the Baskball game that was on very relaxed environment we would go back.

Kelli S.

Average BBQ, but I am biased living in Texas. Caesar salad to start was unremarkable and dry. Got the 3 wild game sausage appetizer and loved it. The mustard bbq dipping sauce on the app was so delicious. I got the bbq half chicken for my entree which was decent. The fried okra and mashed potato sides were great. My husband got the elk burger and loved it. A variety of beers on tap and overall, we enjoyed our meal.

Heather V.

Yelp
Best breakfast we've had in a long time! Tastes just like mom or grandma was back there making it. My husband got the county fried steak with a pancake on the side and OMG both were AMAZING! Tender steak with a crispy breading, great crunch and just a small kick of spice. The pancake was light and fluffy and had nice crunchy griddled edges - seriously soooo good! I got the BLT with a fried egg. So simple yet so delicious. Fresh, quality ingredients - you can't go wrong at Sagebrush!

Casey P.

First thing we noticed as tourists in the off season is this place is super popular with the locals. Happy hour was mobbed! The chili cheese fries were a 10/10, don't miss them. Meats and sauces were pretty tasty as well, I liked the brisket.

Absolutely put this place on your list of stops! Ask for Patsy. She was fantastic. We live full-time in our RV and have eaten in places all across the country, she was the best waitress we have had in a long long time

The vegetarian chili was awesome. It's a bean-less chili with green chilies, it had the right consistency, with a bit of cheese sprinkled on top, and a nice heat to it (mild/medium). They also put this over the vegetarian burrito, which had beans and grilled veggies in it. For a meat forward place, I was so thankful to see them have vegetarian options. The others at the table enjoyed their bbq meats and exotic meat sausage sampler. They have inside and outdoor seating, with a table layout that could accommodate a party of 12. It's a great option in the area!
