Jjs Rocky Mountain Tavern

After many trips to Copper Mountain, we finally made it to JJ's Rocky Mountain Tavern, and I'm sad it took so long. We have always stayed in the west village and the fact that JJ's is in the east village always made it sound like too much effort to get to. But we finally took a ride on the Copper shuttle system and found it to be easy to use and dropped us right at the back door to JJ's. We made a reservation for our group of eight and arrived to find our table waiting.I had the standard chicken sandwich ($16.95) topped with your choice of cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickle on a baked roll. This typically comes with seasoned waffle fries, but I opted to substitute for the onion rings, which were a great choice, though the waffle fries are also good. The chicken sandwich was good, nothing too crazy. Next time I would probably try one of their other options like the New Mexican version with cheddar, cotija, green chiles, and ancho chipotle sauce. Also worth ordering are JJ's Drumsticks which are huge! The draft beer list is solid and has something for everyone. We will definitely be back to JJ's in the future.

The food here is surprisingly good - not there is much competition on this side of the resort. The big issue is the incredibly slow service. One evening it took an hour for me to get and pay for a single beer. The bartender was complaining to anyone who would listen about how "slammed" he was - yet the bar was mostly empty and all he was doing was pouring beers. It might be time to hire more competent bartenders.

This place has a pretty good atmosphere and the food is great but has some problems. Some of the food is not that original for the location, you can get Barbque next door for cheaper, the servers are great, price is a little bit questionable at times

This is a chill place to stop at East Village when you're done with the day. There's plenty of outdoors and indoors seating. There was even a live band which was awesome!I got the cranberry ginger margarita which was ok... I think this is a place more for the vibes rather than the food.

copper doesn't have many restaurants, but it has a few very good options and JJs fit the bill. we ordered the pasta mains and both were quite good, but the shrimp one was just better. The salad also quite decent. If you are captive to copper, you will have a great experience here. Its NOT a destination to drive to from somewhere else, but is going to be on the rotation (along with the excellent BBQ place in center village).

My husband and I stopped in for a beer and ended up sharing the sweet and spicy flatbread. Valerie was our server and she was great- attentive but not overbearing and got our order out quickly and accurately. The flatbread was pretty good, definitely a different medley of flavors. I liked how it was kind of crunchy- I feel like a lot of places don't really cook flatbread pizzas very well. We sat in the bar area and enjoyed the decor- the bar is named after JJ Brown, Molly Brown's husband.

First of all, there really isn't much in Copper Springs especially in June and July. The young man at our hotel guest check-in said they had a good burger. The burger was good, but it wasn't great or anything special. The ambience could use a touch up. There really isnt anywhere to park there, like if your passing through and want to stop, guessing most people walk from their hotels. the town is tiny and most of it is closed super early (6-7pm). So we appreciate the meal, but its not somewheres I would go out of my way to visit again now recommend travelers to stop. But the staff is nice!

I never expect ski town restaurants to be good with a captive audience.The restaurant itself isn't all that nice inside...I don't know how you manage to have a floor where people slip and slide wearing ski boots when that's your primary audience. It was kind of dirty - the ketchup was all slimy so we had to wrap napkins around it to make it usable, for instance.The service was good but obviously the place is understaffed (like every restaurant anymore).I got a santa fe chicken salad. The chicken was a bit more bland than I had hoped for, and the rest of the salad was good but not amazing.What set this place apart was...the waffle fries. My group skiied across the entire mountain to come here for the waffle fries. The waffle fries were actually really good, so if you like waffle fries, be sure to get them here.

The bartender was putting receipts inside of the drinks, which is very unsanitary. The food was mediocre. A friend ordered Mamas spaghetti and it was just pasta and meat, no sauce at all. The fries were soggy and crunchy at the same time which is astonishing.

Great stable bar type food at the B lift. Good place for family or just meeting friends. Portions are generous & good selection of beers
