Bighorn Bar & Bistro

“Our server Mikan was awesome and super attentive! The food was amazing — we tried the salmon and the ribeye. The atmosphere was great too. We’d definitely come back again!”

“Short ribs were amazing with the mashed potatoes. Rebellious red blend was fantastic. The old fashioned I got was delicious! If you’re in keystone hit this place up it was fantastic!! Great service and atmosphere! Our server Grace was awesome! Very helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable! Atmosphere of the place was nice as well!”

“Your best bet is to order door dash (like we overheard other families do). We didnt get utensils, napkins or checked on for that matter. Food was ok but we wont be back.”

“This was honestly a shocking experience. I ordered what was advertised as a 1/3 lb burger, but the patty didn’t even resemble a 1/4 lb portion. The burger itself was extremely basic — just a plain patty, tomato, lettuce, and a bun. For $23 (or whatever the final price was), I expected something at least approaching a gourmet burger. What I received felt overpriced and underwhelming. I also ordered an Avalanche Amber Ale and was served something that clearly did not look like an amber ale. I asked the bartender if she was certain it was the correct beer, and she confirmed that it was. The only reason I realized I had been given the wrong drink was when I ordered a second Avalanche Amber Ale and this time received the actual amber beer — which looked completely different. That was frustrating and avoidable. Service was equally disappointing. After moving from the bar to restaurant seating, no one seemed interested in taking care of us. None of the servers came by to check on the table or ask if everything was okay. It felt like the waitstaff were “assigned” to certain tables and unwilling to assist anyone else. When it came time to pay, we tried to get the check and had to call out to multiple servers. They either ignored us or pretended not to see us. One blonde waitress even rolled her eyes at us. Overall, the food quality did not justify the price, and the service was inattentive and unprofessional. Unfortunately, this was a very disappointing visit.”

“We stayed at Keystone Lodge & Spa to celebrate my girlfriend’s birthday and chose to dine onsite for convenience after a full day of snowboarding. We ordered the house bread service, meatballs, kale & pear salad (came with arugula rather than kale), espresso-crusted ribeye, and the pork schnitzel sandwich. My server was very attentive and nice. Overall, the food was very average for the price. The only standout item was the meatballs. The espresso-crusted ribeye was disappointing—dry, lacking any real crust, cut extremely thin, chewy, and with minimal fat. I’ve had excellent espresso-crusted ribeye before, and this was not it. The most serious issue was the pork schnitzel sandwich. Due to the dim lighting in the restaurant, it was not apparent at the time that the pork was significantly undercooked (see photos). It should have been obvious to the chef as the sandwich comes cut in half. I only ate about half because it didn’t taste right. Later that evening, I became ill and experienced food poisoning symptoms throughout the night, unable to rest and repeatedly visiting the bathroom. This completely ruined our stay, which I paid ~$400/night. I reported the issue both to the restaurant staff and the Keystone Lodge front desk. Both took my name and phone number and assured me I would receive a call within 30 minutes regarding a resolution. I never received a call. When I followed up with the lodge the next day, they had no record of the complaint or the situation. Given the food quality, safety concerns, and lack of follow-up, I cannot recommend this restaurant—especially with far better dining options available nearby in Breckenridge. This is my first time leaving a google review. I do not want others having the same experience.”
