Hostess sat us quickly. Excellent friendly service. Food was just as expected except the Green chili soup was exceptionally good.
Packed house but had a short wait and quick service. It's also conveniently located at the base of the mountain! Prices were a bit high but I'm sure it's comparable to other places in the area.
We had a great experience. It was during spring break and slammed, but we were still seated fairly quickly and our server Austin checked in multiple times through the meal. It's a cool cabin sports bar vibe with plenty of TVs. Our food was delicious, we had the buffalo chicken tots, the pork green chile and the schoolmarm burger.
Great service both times we went this trip. Good food. Just a fantastic place to relax with family.
Best service we have received in Keystone from our waitress Alexis. Our table of 7 guys got a variety of dishes and they were all great
The place was packed and my tastebuds know why. 20 min wait is what we were told and 18 min wait. Sarah was our waitress and was attentive and polite. She was handling a lot. Good job Burger was my choice and was cooked to my request of med rare. Coleslaw was good This building is in a ski village and they do a very good job with making the building look like a cabin house. The bar and the TV set ups are three nicely designed as well.
Carolyn and Bethany were wonderful ... been coming here 7 years and always excellent service and a great atmosphere
We are staying in the village and didn't want to venture far for dinner. They have a nice waitlist system that will text you when the table was ready. We started with some drinks at the bar- had big screen TVs so hubby can watch the games. Anna was our kind and courteous server. Food- my son had kid's cheeseburger- appropriately sized and he gobbled it up with a thumbs up. I had the NY strip which was actually cooked to a perfect medium rare and came pre-sliced. Swapped out fries for the apple slaw which was good. Also had a great slightly dirty vodka martini with perfect ice shards layered on top which I didn't expect! It's a fun family-friendly atmosphere with obviously hard working servers and staff. Burgers were flying out of the kitchen so must be good - if I'm in town would definitely come back.
The staff here are very accommodating and polite. The impossible burger I ate was the most delicious plant-based meal I have ever eaten. My brother enjoyed his BBQ sandwich, but complained about price, as most mountain resort centers overprice their menu and products (the reason for -1 stars). Overall, my family, dog, and I had a very relaxing experience at this restaurant nestled in the mountains of Keystone!
Omg !!! Kickapoo was recommended to us and it DID not disappoint!! We popped over and wandered through the village... Amazing!! Service, even though the place is packed, was stellar, Mark took good care of us! Oh gosh... by far... the burger is the best tasting burger we have had in a long time. I enjoyed the soup if the day (homemade tomato bisque), it was delicious! My sister enjoyed the buffalo chicken tots... Kickapoo is nestled amongst the pine trees and right at the end of the village by the base.. it's December and it's so cozy to see it decorated for Christmas..
