Best Casual Restaurants in Steamboat Springs

Excellent service. We never felt rushed out. Food recommendations were great. Food was delicious. Dessert was amazing.

I finally got to eat at Cypress, a fantastic new addition to the Steamboat dining scene led by chef Collin Kelley and his amazing team. I was blown away by the incredible remodel of his former restaurant, what a great comeback story! It’s clear Collin poured his heart into every detail—creating a cozy, inviting atmosphere with great design elements to anchor the space. Carl's old horseshoe bar is still very much intact! The food? Absolutely stellar of course. Every dish was thoughtfully crafted, showcasing fresh ingredients and Southern comfort food stamped with Collin's style. The attention to detail in both presentation and taste is impressive. Top dishes for me so far are the confit chicken pot pie and the pork chop, but I have my eye on several others including Craig's meatloaf. Don't miss the infinity barrel old fashioned to start! Cypress has not only elevated the local dining experience but also created a space where you feel at home. I can’t wait to return and bring more friends to experience it. Highly recommend making a reservation—you’ll want to savor every moment here!

Primrose is a regular favorite and rarely does it disappoint. We were able to enjoy apps and drinks off of the Social menu. Staff is always professional and attentive. Short Ribs entree was wonderfully done. The lamb entree was flavorful but the majority of the cut was a large bone and a lot fat. Will not be ordering it again.

Amazing locally owned restaurant here in Steamboat. The owner greets you when you walk in, the service is outstanding and their menu is a real value in this mountain town without compromising quality. An absolutely wonderful place to dine and there are always new surprises with their happy hour menu. And the pork beef cheeks - one of the best entrees ever!

Best value in Steamboat and the best smoked turkey we’ve ever eaten! We’ll definitely be back.
