Hunters Chop House

Hunters Chophouse is a steakhouse and whiskey and wine bar at 1690 Big Thompson Avenue in Estes Park, set in a rustic mountain lodge atmosphere. The kitchen focuses on hand-cut steaks, chops, elk, bison and other wild game, with Colorado producers supplying part of the menu.

Starters include a wild game brats sampler, smoked elk carpaccio and French onion soup, and the menu also covers seafood like baked trout and salmon, burgers, bison ravioli, and a kids menu. The restaurant says its wine program has earned a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence, and it keeps a whiskey collection alongside cocktails and beer. Large parties such as rehearsal dinners, weddings and birthdays can be arranged, and catering is available. Reservations and online ordering are offered through the website.
