The service and atmosphere was unique and comfy. The food was amazing! The wild game steak and chops and risotto are definitely worth trying! Worth the price!

Great place to dine! We had the Bison Oscar and it was well worth the price. Perfectly cooked and flavorful dish. Would recommend the oysters Rockefeller also!

I was planning a visit to Estes Park with mom, and she suggested we find a place with game meat, to really revel in the Colorado experience. I found Hunters Chophouse online, and only later realized it was also a really convenient stroll from our lodging (Murphy's Resort). We made a reservation for the dining room ahead of the Saturday night rush. The restaurant vibe was warm and inviting, and our server was excellent. Hunters Chophouse offers cocktails, beer, and a pretty nice wine list. They have a small bar section, and limited outdoor seating as well (though the view isn't as impressive as the area might otherwise suggest). I ordered the Elk Chops and mom got the Bison Steak Oscar. The Elk Chops were cooked to perfection, and the accompanying sides (creamy barley risotto and asparagus) and sauces were delicious. I tried my mom's bison as well, and that was also lovely. I do wish they had a more varied selection of sides with their entrees (I'm not sure I would want to visit numerous times in a trip with so many entrees being presented similarly), but that said, the menu does offer a number of different directions to explore. All in all a solid dinner, especially by mountain town standards.

Nice vibe and service is attentive and friendly. We got the elk and bison chops. The meat quality is great, except I think they might undercooked it a bit for medium rare, which the meat came out a bit raw and chewy.

We went here based on Yelp positive reviews. The decor looked like a hunter's lodge with animals on the walls, also stone walls, antler chandeliers, and thick wooden tables and chairs. There was a 25 minute wait for a table so we found seats at the bar. We ordered gin and tonic drinks along with Brussels sprouts and French onion soup for the starters. Both were delicious. For the main course, we ate Kobe beef burger ($20) and Filet Mignon ($42). Both meals were moist and made perfectly. During our dinner, the power went out for about 45 minutes and customers patiently waited for the lights to come back on. I felt that the service was a bit slow despite being a Tuesday evening and not that busy but overall the food made up for it.

We went there for a special dinner event and were not disappointed. We were quickly seated and handed the custom menu. Everything looked good so we knew it was going to be a hard choice. We started with adult beverages and Sarma. The appetizer and the drinks came out quickly. The Sarma was wonderful and we were sad there were but two! My Sazerac was also good. Smoked drinks are always a nice touch. The staff always stopped by to see if we were OK while waiting for our main course. The place was not loud at all and we could have a conversation without yelling. The main course showed up and we dug right in. The Pork fell off the bone and I had to force myself to a slower eating pace so I could enjoy it longer! Kudos to the chef. My spouse also enjoyed her choice. We were pleasantly surprised when we got a dessert helping us celebrate an anniversary. The Mousse to Donut hole ratio was right on! What an interesting combination that worked extremely well. We enjoyed the food, enjoyed conversing with the staff - even the chef popped out to see how things were going! We plan to be back. Oh, I also highly recommend the bar. They have a wide variety of adult beverages AND the bartenders don't mind getting creative if you feel adventurous in your drinking. Ask to be surprised!

Not sure why this is showing up as 3.6 stars because we thought it was great. Not surprisingly, the decor is hunting/outdoor related. Very cozy and appropriate. Staff was excellent. Our host let us know the wait time (we did not have reservations) and even offered a little humor suggesting we watch the elk show while we wait (a herd of elks just walked up to the field next to the restaurant and we're making noises and posing quite elegantly). We opted to wait in the bar and had a cocktail. The bar was crowded but we found a chair at the end and were served quickly. I chose the pork chop for my meal. It was delicious and cooked as ordered. It came with creamy mashed potatoes, roasted carrots and an apple chutney. So good. Husband had a filet which he said was excellent as well. Our waiter was attentive and our food was brought out nice and hot. Really nice experience.
