We ate here for lunch and dinner for a few days while we were at the resort. It was incredible!! Have you ever cut a pork chop with a fork? I HAVE! Have you ever loved a meatloaf so much you crave it again? I HAVE! Have you ever seen a bison short rib fall off of the bone? I HAVE! We were so stuffed after every meal. Truly the worst part was that we couldn’t take the chef and kitchen staff home with us. It’s kind of rude that they are so far away from where we live!! In all seriousness, we loved eating here. We even hung out there a few times with drinks or an app because the huge windows and fireplaces were so welcoming and cozy. The waitstaff were all very friendly and we had great service. They might be a tad understaffed, but what place isn’t these days.
As some of the other reviews mentioned, it was a little pricey, but nothing that I wouldn’t expect. You’re paying for the convince of the on-site restaurant and delicious food. It’s nothing different than a nice restaurant in Denver.
Overall: 10/10, would recommend, would visit again, will be crying because it’s far away from my home.

Food was good. We had two appetizers. We also had drinks. The non-alcoholic mixer I had was particularly good. Service was good and a nice atmosphere.

Stayed at the resort for a week with my husband. We came here for our honeymoon and expected really great food since all the staff raved about the convenience and tastiness of Heck’s. The menu was interesting and appealing so we were initially excited! However, the price for each meal and entree was ridiculous! We dismissed it in the beginning as the food was “farm to table” and they served Wagyu beef.
We tried various things on the menu— both in the restaurant and as room service. I have two words to describe it all— under seasoned. It seemed like everything lacked flavor!! The burger was okay but nothing too special— which is definitely not worth its $27 price tag. Whatever you do, don’t get the bean hummus— we dumped so much salt into it… it’s crazy! The chips on that dish were ALSO unsalted. I don’t think the chef purchased salt for the restaurant and if they did use it, we certainly couldn’t taste it.
The staff was nice— nothing compared to the southern hospitality that we are used to. But they took forEVER even though the restaurant was practically empty. And yeah— everything is house made… do you make the water too?? Is that why it takes so long to refill our drinks?
The chili was good! And so was the hot chocolate, but I would rather much recommend going into Fraser and Winter Park for dinner rather than spending so much at heck’s. Especially if you like flavor.

The food is horrible.The food looks, tastes, and feels like it’s all microwaved. It would be a great choice of restaurant for someone who is watching their salt intake because they definitely don’t use it. The staff are extremely friendly and wonderful.

Christmas dinner 2022 was a wonderful time. There was a slight delay in the delivery of each course, but it’s understandable considering the special occasion, and many other guests being served simultaneously. I have no complaints about the service, as they were apologetic and kind, (working on Christmas day!), and at least the alcohol was brought out promptly, which is, you know, pretty important. Haha. The prime rib was absolutely perfect, served medium with plentiful sides. It was apparently the chef’s birthday too, and he did a fantastic job. In the future, hopefully they are able to time the arrival of the entree better, so it doesn’t show up while I’m still trying to eat the salad.

We stopped in on our way up to Steamboat for a little breakfast, the couple we were with thought the world of this place. Maybe it was because of the high expectations that made this place fall flat for me. Out of the gate the service was sub par considering what little people were in there. I received two cups of coffee, one at beginning and one at the end, not much in between, but that’s real nitpicky small potatoes. To my surprise considering the hype was that my meal was nothing to write home about, pretty basic really. On top of that, it was on the spendy side. On a positive note, the place is beautiful and I could certainly drink there if I was staying, otherwise there is no draw for me.

Last week I had the opportunity to travel to Devil’s Thumb Ranch in Tabernash, CO for a site visit where our company plans to host its annual manager retreat. Concluding our tour of the property and rooms, our host treated us to lunch at Heck’s Tavern.
The architectural design was inspired by the Timberline Lodge at Mt. Hood in Oregon. The floor-to-ceiling fireplace in the middle of the room is quite spectacular. The hexagonal shape of the restaurant makes for many panoramic views while dining.
The menu features several ranch to table options including their own Wagyu beef.
I tried the BBQ Wagyu Ranch Burger which was topped with onion rings, BBQ sauce and cheddar cheese. The burger was awesome; juicy and flavorful! In lieu of fries, I ordered the salad as my side dish. It came with a creamy lemon parmesan dressing that was very pleasing. $22 might be hard to swallow, but since my meal was comped and it was so tasty — swallowing was not an issue. But honestly, for hyperlocally raised Wagyu beef amdist absolutely stunning views, I would highly recommend it! Note: one doesn’t necessarily need to stay at the lodge to visit this restaurant. They are also open for breakfast and dinner. If you are in the Winter Park area, stop on by.

This place is incredible. Chef Maggie does an amazing job with the food and it saddens me that it’s received such negative reviews. The service was exceptional and we had a wonderful time.
My issue? There were SEVERAL people coming to the bar making requests and responding unkindly when it took more than 5-10 minutes for the staff to fulfill those requests on a very busy night. Where I come from, that’s standard and considered great service because each guest was taken care of and not made to wait for over 8 minutes.
The staff is 5 star. Kind, hard-working and accommodating. It’s the guests that need to step up. I’m a travel advisor and my husband and I travel for work, and I have never been anywhere where the guests have been so incredibly rude to the hard working, talented individuals that keep this place running smoothly. This ranch is priced fairly and well staffed (considering it’s the slow season) when comparing it to the surrounding competition AND to the industry in general.
We will always recommend this gem to anyone looking for an exceptional experience.

Service is incredibly slow even when they are not busy. The food is terrible. We’ve stayed at the resort for two weeks in the past 6 months and purposely plan our day to avoid Heck’s Tavern because it is so bad. In addition
to terrible food with slow service it is extremely overpriced. $38 for their special … it was one pulled pork slider with fries. Really? This morning I paid $20 with tip for 2 bagels with cream cheese to go to get store bought bagels. It took almost 20 minutes and there were 2 tables seated in the entire restaurant. I would describe it as just frustrating.

Heck’s is back!! There was a moment where things (service, etc) were a little disappointing but that’s all changed with Chef Maggie. Her flavors, more extensive menu, ability to fluctuate dish items, food sourcing… *chefs kiss!!!* – what a true creative professional she is.
The service was also lovely. Staff was attentive and accommodating. No complaints.
Devil’s thumb is a really special place. A Colorado gem. You don’t get privately owned resorts to this caliber often. Owners did a good job making the restaurant piece right again. We’ve been coming here for over ten years and will continue to spend time here for many years to come.
