From the hot springs to horseback riding, biking to golf, there are a lot of fun and exciting adventures to have in Steamboat Springs. With plenty to see and do to keep you busy throughout your stay, you’re bound to hear your stomach rumble when you’re out and about. In the warmer months, you may want to dine outside in the fresh mountain air. There are several places to eat in Steamboat Springs with great outdoor seating and great food to match!
Creekside Cafe
Come for the casual atmosphere and stay for the food. Take your seat on the patio and prepare for a delicious breakfast or lunch. Try the eggs Benedict, country-fried steak, breakfast burrito, omelets, and more, or turn to traditional choices like pancakes, waffles, and French toast. Come back for a traditional Reuben, grilled cheese, or turkey club. Add a bloody Mary, coffee, mimosa, or alcoholic beverage to complete the meal. Bring the kids for pancakes, waffles, French toast, or another delicious breakfast choice. When you’re here for lunch, they can choose a grilled cheese, chicken fingers, burger, or helping of Kraft macaroni and cheese.
E3 Chophouse
Enjoy a nice dinner out to celebrate a special occasion, or just because. Enjoy the weather and the food when you sit outside. With much of the menu coming from the namesake ranch in Kansas, you’ll taste fresh and delicious food in a romantic setting. There are “shareable” hors d’oeuvres like Haystack Mountain Fondue or charcuterie, and entrees that include seafood, steak, lamb, and more, or choose from their vegetarian and gluten-free options.
Mountain Tap Brewery
Sit down outside at the end of a long day of Steamboat adventures and enjoy a beer at Mountain Tap Brewery. The rotating list of brews is made right on-site and includes choices like Lime Time, a lime ale with a light body, and low bitterness brewed with Key lime juice. Picking Hops IPA is a little “hoppier” than the Current IPA, with citrus and piney aromatics. Choose a Pellegrino soda or homemade root beer for the designated drivers. Balance the beers with some delicious bites and choose popcorn featuring spicy chili and garlic oils, Grana Padano cheese, nutritional yeast, sea salt & paprika. Try the chickpea or farm salad or go for one of their wood-fired pizzas. The kids can choose pizza, macaroni and cheese, or pasta. Finish the meal with sweets like Campfire S’mores – a Steamboat Baker chocolate cookie, house marshmallow fluff, and graham cracker crumble. Choose from “Float the Boat” – a non-alcoholic root beer float, or “Rock the Boat” – your choice of a Mountain Tap beer topped with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream. If those don’t appeal, try the sunshine rolls – citrus glazed rolls of house-made dough with a cinnamon orange center. All of the desserts are vegan-friendly, as are many of the other dishes.
The Back Door Grill
Come in the front door! Not only is it the front of the restaurant, but you’ll also head back out to sit on the patio and enjoy your meal. Stop in for breakfast and enjoy a traditional breakfast burrito, California burrito – scrambled eggs, bacon, avocado, cheddar cheese, hash brown, queso, or the breakfast sandwich. Later in the day, share starters like hand-cut fries, Cajun fries, tater tots, onion rings, mozzarella sticks, a hummus plate, and more. Or go for a variety of soups or salads. Try classic homemade beef chili, house or Caesar salad, or arugula and prawns. Devour classic burgers or specials like “John Wayne” – a burger smothered with BBQ sauce, cheddar, and an onion ring, or the “Wonka” – chocolate-covered bacon, funnel cake fries, cheddar, peanut butter, and strawberry jelly! There are a variety of sandwiches like the chicken club, BDG Philly, or BLT. Satisfy your sweet tooth with their brownie & cookie sundae, Reese’s peanut butter pie, strawberry shortcake, or funnel cake fries. Complete the meal with a root beer float, fountain drinks, lemonade, iced tea, and more. Bring the kids for hot dogs, cheeseburgers, chicken bites, and other delicious kid-friendly bites.
