• Barbecue • Steamboat Springs

Booked 6 times today

We do not take reservations for 2, it just doesn't work in our dining room. We have 2 high tops that we use for walk-ins, and also 6 tables in an outdoor insulated/heated area. So if you can't get a reservation, still come try us as we do save certain space for walk-ins.Please note the time you have been allotted for you and your party to complete your meal! Please don't be late, leave early if it is snowing! Call us with any questions/changes. There’s a reason we’re perched down by the river. In fact, the view right outside is a nice little reminder that life is better when you go with the flow. The only thing that might make it better are some ice cold drinks, Texas-style smoky ‘cue and the company of your favorite fellow humans. So come in, take a seat, order up somethin’ good, crack open a cold one and let the good times flow like the Yampa.

This was my second time there to enjoy happy hour at Aurum, and we were wowed by the food and ambiance; our wait staff were terrific, and took care of our party very well! We had some gluten free eaters in our group, and loved the selections we tried, but would hope to see a few other GFO’s…
