Had a great experience here! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, with a fun vibe. Everyone was super friendly and attentive. I tried the hot link sandwich, it was absolutely delicious, great flavor and just the right amount of heat. I also ended up buying some of their moonshine to take home since they were offering free samples, couldn’t resist. Definitely worth a visit!
This was our "backup plan" and it ended up being a yummy detour! Enjoyed some brews on tap, side salad w/ amazing homemade vinaigrette, green beans, buttermilk fried chicken sandwich, and mac-n-cheese. It was all delicious. And our waitress (Penny?) was delightful and knowledgeable about the restaurant and food! We did sit inside to be farther from the speakers so we could talk easier.
My Husband and I came here for a nice meal and some cocktails and to just check out a new spot. Let me tell you what an amazing experience we had. The staff was all so friendly and knowledgeable made you feel right at home. Will definitely be back in a couple months when we are up here again.
We rolled in 11 people deep ready to drink, eat, and enjoy the weather and scenery. Our waitress Penny was top notch. Make sure you find her. She gets it done. Drinks were awesome and the wings were good enough to take home to meet your mother. We're stopping back thru late July. We'll be looking forward to another great afternoon.
Awesome food, great service and fun place!! Really enjoyed our lunch - happy to bring our puppy, too. We drove Trail Ridge Rd. from the west side of Rocky National Park and stopped in Estes Park. Easy parking, delicious lunch, fun music and a little whiskey tasting with a bottle to bring back home to Idaho! Cute gift shop there, too. We walked around Estes Park and enjoyed the beautiful Thompson River and had a wonderful day. Will definitely come back next time we're at RMNP! Thanks, Full Throttle for making our visit special :)
Full Throttle is one of our Favorite spots to go! The staff is always friendly and welcoming! Drinks are always on point (soooo many possibilities!!)! The menu definitely has some delicious options (the giant pretzel is my favorite so far)! We have seen the place both PACKED and we have been the only ones there on a random Monday but every time their staff is awesome making sure we are taken care of regardless off how busy they are!
Nana makes the best burger in town! Plus if you like moonshine they have every flavor your heart can desire. I had The smoke shed burger that had smoked bacon, BBQ sauce, onion rings and your choice of cheese. The service here was phenomenal Tony was so nice to us and our server Penny was so nice. She made me feel.like I knew her years. Full Throttle in Sturgus and Este Park are both great places to visit.
It's the perfect place to stop after a beautiful ride up the mountain. The food was amazing, and the drink menu had an outstanding selection of specialty whiskey drinks. The bartenders are the best in town. If it's your first visit, you'll definitely leave as a regular.
