Don’t forget your cowboy hat for this wild, family-friendly ride. Load up in the gondola and head up to the top of Thunderhead Lodge. Bite into mouthwatering BBQ and after you enjoy a delicious dessert, you and the family will dance to a local Steamboat band. This is a toe-tapping, BBQ-loving, dance-friendly Steamboat experience you won’t want to miss. This event is fun for all ages.
If you are joining other groups and want to be seated together, please call us or let the reservationist know. Reservation time is the time you board the gondola. Credit card requirement is only to hold the reservation- we will not have access to this information to close out your bill. In accordance with Colorado law, outside alcohol cannot be brought into restaurants. We look forward to having you at Western BBQ! $64 Adults $44 Youth *pricing includes gondola ride*

Please reach out to our Central Reservation team at 800-922-2722 with any questions or cancellations

Everything was wonderful. Best thing hands down was the Tri-tip with whiskey sauce. Jacob was the best! One recommendation is to have Mac and cheese without green chilies for the kids. It was too spicy for them.

Overpriced beware it’s a buffet would be great for very young children, but the price tag is very unaffordable.

This was a HUGE mistake. The “show” was a joke…three musicians playing music badly. The food was below ordinary and the presentation was reminiscent of a pot luck supper in church basement. On a happier note the staff were VERY friendly, helpful ,and did their best to take care of the guests…and the ride up the mountain was spectacular! The price is outrageous for what you get ! Find another place for dinner.
