The Shaggy Sheep

The Shaggy Sheep is a casual mountain eatery on US Highway 285 in Grant, Colorado, serving breakfast and lunch. It opened in 2016 and was started by Sarah Bennett and Chris Howe, who named it as a nod to the Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep. They describe it as a place for fresh, wholesome meals for the local community and travelers.

Breakfast plates include smothered burritos with green chile, biscuits and gravy, baked avocado and French toast. The lunch menu covers burgers, a French dip, carnitas tacos, soups and salads. A small lounge pours local draft beer, wine on draft and cocktails like the Bloody Mary. In season, an Airstream snack shack offers grab-and-go food, acai bowls and homemade ice cream. Reservations and online ordering are available.
