Whitewater Bar & Grill

This place was busy, which was a good sign. Indoor and outdoor seating areas with a few bars, and children's play areas outdoors as well. We were seated quickly inside and ordered drinks. It was a little loud inside but there are alot of people! I ordered a pulled pork sandwich with the curly fries, the kiddo stuck to Mac and Cheese, and hubby had the Havana Panini and fries. It was probably the best pulled pork sandwich I have had! And hubby liked his panini quite a bit as well. Prices were decent and staff friendly. I can see why this place is popular and if ever in the area again I'd love to come back.That being said, I would love to not have a restaurant owners political views in my face before even entering the building. Major eye roll.

What a cool spot. Rustic, family friendly, fun atmosphere! They have beach volleyball and it looked like they had axe throwing. Very popular spot for those headed down to the royal gorge, white water rafting and zip lining. The food was great! I got a burger with Swiss cheese and their homemade curly fries which were perfectly salted and crispy. Service was great. Very friendly waitress who was constantly checking on me

Great food and service, located very close to Royal Gorge Park. We had a large party and our order was served promptly and correctly

Went to Whitewater after a trip to Royal Gorge and was impressed by the food and service. You check in at the front and choose your own seat, which I like and then they send a waitress right away. It is not air conditioned, but the inside seating is under a roof and the outside seating has umbrellas and shade so not a problem (plus Colorado is usually not too hot, though it has been in the week we've been here). I ordered a Moscow Mule to start which comes in a Mason jar which is weird because I like mine in copper (sounds snooty, but look, the drink was created to be drunk out of metal, ok I'll move on now). My husband picked some kind of beer that was also offered in a Mason jar, what's up with the Mason jars, anyway.. I ordered the Havana Panini (pictured) which was very tasty - has old school mustard with seeds and was smushed just right. My husband got a Philly cheesesteak which I tasted and it was great. The curly fries were better than most curly fries that are battered (think Arby's); these are just regular fries that are curly somehow. Service was quick; prices were high but this is a tourist place right by Royal Gorge and obviously whitewater rafting, so I consider this vacation tax. They allow pet dogs for those of you who are into that. Would go back.

Service was quick and the food was delicious! Definitely a great place to eat and relax- staff was attentive!

We went up to the royal gorge and happened to spot this restaurant on the way and we wanted to check it out after. We were very excited walking up to the place as it smells like amazing bbq. The restaurant itself is really cool they have an indoor section but the best area was their outdoor seating, they had volleyball, a playground, cabana's in the sand. It is a perfect summer hang out spot for food and drinks with the whole family. Service was great, our waitress was on top of it and food came out fast. We were a little surprised that there wasn't more bbq options since it smelled like all they did was bbq from the outside. I got the patty melt and hand cut curly fries, the melt was good and the bread was nice and toasted. The fries could have used a little more seasoning but they weren't bad. My wife ordered the pulled pork sandwich and she said it was really good. We ordered the brisket sandwich for our son and the brisket was very tender and juicy. If you are in the area definitely make a stop in to Whitewater bar and grill!

Don't miss this place for great food and fun activities! Friendly staff, delicious food, Top shelf margaritas, and plenty for the family to enjoy- live music, zip lines, axe throwing, sand volleyball, whitewater rafting, playground for the young ones, and more. So glad we stopped in and we will be back! Great vibe!

Very nice experience! Definitely has a lot to offer with all the decor and family oriented place. The service was quick and fast and our server Sara from Texas was very attentive with what we needed. Food was also delicious! We had the patty melt, royal burger, chicken quesadillas,and jr burger and everything was hot and ready with great portions. Would definitely come back again

What an amazing find! If you are in the area visiting the gorge, be sure to stop in here for lunch... Not only is the menu extensive but everything is outstandingly prepared and delicious! All of the servers are super friendly and accommodating too. Plus on top of that they have tons of activities to do in the outdoor area to make it Super fun afternoon for all! Well done!

Stopped in on a Monday afternoon and I'm guessing the good chef doesn't work the afternoons. I had the driest overcooked burger on the planet. The girls in our group decided to share a philly and immediately sent it back. The kid liked his Mac and cheese and my buddy was ok with his Ruben. Sadly I can't recommend this place.
