The Shaggy Sheep

We’ve driven by this restaurant since they opened in 2016, and finally stopped. We’ve been missing out! This place is great! Wonderful and friendly service! Delicious and quality food! Even had gluten free options! A must stop along 285!

This place is great! A nice little gem right off the highway. Definitely worth the trip! The menu is small but is high quality and changes often. The staff is friendly and the service was great!

This is one of the best, small town, restaurants you could possibly ever find. They have a very small menu and focus on quality instead of quantity. I have never ordered food here and been disappointed. They also have fresh baked cookies that are absolutely mouth watering and cooked to perfection. Everything is fresh, healthy and keeps you coming back for more. I can not wait till they start serving breakfast again because there jalapeno biscuits and gravy are the best thing I've ever ate. If your passing through the mountains and don't stop to eat at the shaggy sheep, you are absolutely missing out.

What a fabulous meal, served by gracious people, in a charming environment. On a chilly day, with the warmth of their smiles, the toasty, pot belly stove, the company of the fascinating local, artist, angler and rancher, Todd Clough, it was the perfect, romantic, Sunday lunch. Overtime...the sooner, the better, I look forward to returning and discovering the other delicious items on the menu. Take time to pause and look over the creative, skills of pieces made by local artists. A pleasing sensory experience!

Driving way up in the mountains and stopped at this place when we noticed the people waiting outside. We had to wait about 30 minutes, but the hostess provided coffee and drinks while we waited - and we didn't mind with the view we had from the front porch!nThe food was wonderful! I had a bowl of green chili soup and it was definitely homemade. It was a huge bowl and I had to take about half of it home!nWe've been back twice more and have introduced other family and friends to this hidden gem. The food is wonderful, the atmosphere laid back and the scenery beautiful! Definitely worth the trip by itself, but couple this with a drive into the Rocky Mountains (and over Guanella Pass into Georgetown) and it's really a great part of the experience!
