Bird & Jim is always at the top of our list when we’re in Estes. They are consistently some of the best food in the valley. We love to sit at the bar and chat with the staff and other guests. The atmosphere is always warm and welcoming. We enjoyed all three of our visits this trip. Including the always fantastic pheasant chowder! One afternoon we had a late lunch from the apps and sides menu – elk strip loin and chicken nuggets. Both were delicious. We pictured are two desserts, the strawberry shortcake and bread pudding. I also really liked the house-made potato chips and onion dip. It’s not something I’d usually order but those chips were so good – the perfect thickness and crispiness. In fact, they were so good, I used them the pimento cheese dip and the tuna poke. Their happy hour (open to 4 pm) draws a crowd and it’s always a good idea to get a reservation for dinner.

My wife and I decided to try something different today and were honestly, blown away!!! The Portobello fries were amazing!!! The best fried mushroom I have ever had!!! The dipping sauce and onion slivers marry perfectly; absolutely delicious!!!! The BLT was really yummy as well, a little heavy on the dill aioli but still really yummy!!! The Mountain Jim burger was super yummy as well!! Extremely juicy and messy!!! If it’s not messy, it’s not good!!! We ended up getting the focaccia bread to try as well and were really pleased we did!! The focaccia was really good, we really love the herbs and the butter…. Mmmmm so good!!!

One of the best restaurants in town. Thematic, rustic atmosphere. Comfortable seating. Delicious food options. Many of which embody that mountain town theme. I recommend the mixed olives appetizer, it was especially good. The lamb rack was really good too. The roasted tomatoes it comes with really stood out. They taste like they were marinated first and then roasted. Really unique flavor. Great draft beers as well. Parking may be limited but you can actually park at the Bird’s Nest lot across the street.

Fantastic meal and service. We ordered 3 carnivore plates along with the pheasant chowder, corn bread, mushrooms, and mac and cheese. The meats were juicy and cooked perfectly. It was the best tasting Elk we ever had. We also ordered cocktails which were very enjoyable. Cool atmosphere inside the restaurant and really like the open kitchen concept.

Mountain meal magic! Conveniently located by Rocky Mountain National Park, this spot offers delicious food, easy parking, and a family-friendly vibe. Our group of 5 stopped by after some sightseeing and were seated right away without a reservation. This huge cabin-style space has high ceilings, cozy and regular dining areas, woody mountain decor, fun mismatched cloth napkins, and local art for sale.
Food was great! I had the Smoked Pheasant Chowder and Cornbread (three mini rounds) as my meal and both were solid, hearty goodness. My husband enjoyed his Buffalo Burger with tomato-bacon jam while My mother-in-law loved her Arugula Apple Pecan Salad with added greens and raved about the dressing. Her Bird & Jim Lemonade (happy hour til 4pm) tasted like a limoncello spritz. Both kids finished their plates, fries first: Chicken Fingers & Fries and Grilled Cheese & Fries. Come hungry, leave happy!
NOTES/TIPS:
**Easy parking. Great service. Pay right at your table.
**Perfect stop before or after the park.
**You can reserve through Google via Resy.

The atmosphere in this place is very nice and cozy. Food took about an hour to finish and we just ordered chicken and waffles and avocado toast. The toast was a huge let down. No balsamic drizzle or any kind of flavor. The waffles were delicious and saturated with syrup.

Busy afternoon, ate in bar area, couches were comfortable and cute! The bartender was great, we enjoyed our service. The staff was attentive and we really liked the vibe from the napkins to the paintings. My BLT was disappointing as some of the bacon was burned and one piece really undercooked. We enjoyed the portobello fries but didn’t enjoy the aoli. Bison burger was cooked perfectly and the gnocchi was delicious! Herby with great texture.
We absolutely recommend.

Last night was my first visit to Bird & Jim, and I can gladly say we WILL BE returning! The food and service were phenomenal!
Here’s a rundown of our experience (including beverage and food selections):
For drinks, my husband ordered the Bust a Rut and I had the Manhattan, both were fantastic. For our appetizer, we ordered the Tuna Poke (photo attached…though it’s half-eaten because we were so excited to eat it that we forgot to take a photo at first) and it was honestly the best tuna poke we’ve ever had.
For our shared entree, we ordered The Carnivore, which included elk striploin, filet mignon, cheddar game sausage, and broccolini. It looked so incredible that we started eating before I could even get a photo, so no photo of that amazing meal, but it was beautifully plated and absolutely delicious. We ate every bite. We added a side of mac and cheese, which was also full of flavor.
I believe our waitress’s name was Nina (from Argentina). She was so sweet and attentive, even during the busy hours of a Saturday night on a holiday weekend! Highly recommend Bird & Jim (and Nina!) because everything we ordered and the service was amazing.
Also, considering how BUSY the restaurant was, I was very thankfully the hostess was able to seat us 30-minutes before our reservation, since we arrived a tad too early AND that Nina was so attentive while all tables were full of other patrons.
So as you can tell, great experience all around and we’ll definitely be returning on our next trek up the canyon from NoCo!

After we drove around RMNP, we decided to eat at Bird & Jim. We both had the steak dinner, which was fantastic. We also ordered the potatoe chips and man those were good too.

My first [bucket list] time in CO and here!! The portion size on this tuna was amazing! Lol I suggest asking for their hoisin sauce( from the Edemame app that was also yummy) to drizzle over the tuna if you like a little kick. It was phenomenal!! Buffalo burger was also goood! Our waiter was great too!
