Ore House at the Pine Grove - Steamboat Springs: Premier Steakhouse with Prime Rib & Warm Hospitality

Me and my family recently took a trip to Colorado and were in the Steamboat area. We were looking for a place to eat and ran across Ore House online. The menu looked tasty so we thought we would try it out. And I am glad we did. It was hands down the best meal I had while in Colorado. Before I get into the food, I love how friendly the staff was. When we came in the hostess greeted us and she was very friendly. They are pretty busy so reservations are recommended unless you are cool dining at the bar. We ended up dining at the bar and I am glad we did because the bartender was so friendly. He offered great conversation and gave us tips on other places to check out in the area. We asked him for sweet tea which wasn't on the menu, but he made it sweet for us. We are ladies from the south who love our sweet tea. The bar tender knew the menu we'll and was able to answer our questions about what is on the menu and any special requests. I ordered the grilled Rocky Mountain ruby red trout, baked potato (with all the fixings to the side), and steamedbbroccoli with their special cheese sauce on the side. My mom ordered the sirlon with a baked potato and steamed broccoli. While we waited for our food we were told to grab a salad from the salad bar. Everything was fresh and there was a lot of variety of items to put on your salad. When we came back to our seats from the salad bar, the bar tender also brought us over some warm bread and cinnamon rolls. We really enjoyed our meal and the customer service experienced in Colorado. Going to the Ore House felt very welcoming and I would recommend this resturant to anyone in steamboat. I will definitely be back during future trips.

Rustic and dark but delicious prime rib. Much better than the prime rib we had at "The Lounge". If you like prime rib this is a must have stop. The asparagus was meh and costly at $5 for 3 stems. The fried potato ball was also meh but prime rib is excellent.

While skiing in Steamboat, this restaurant came highly recommended by everyone I met. When I go to a steakhouse my go to choice is a ribeye but everyone recommended getting the prime rib here and I have to say, I echo that sentiment. The prime rib was perfectly cooked and the sides were excellent. We also had the baked brie and ribs for appetizers and they were very delicious as well. The service was also incredible as the entire waitstaff was very attentive. Highly recommend this restaurant if you need a dining option in Steamboat!

It was my fiancé's birthday and wanted to treat him to a very special dinner. We travelled to Steamboat from California to snowboard and celebrate. This place was PERFECT for a nice dinner. FOOD - Their food was absolutely delicious! Their prime rib was served at perfect temp and their crab cakes were to die for! And they give you a bread basket when you sit down and wow, the cinnamon ones were amazing! SERVICE - Professional, classy, friendly, and attentive. I really couldn't ask for more. I even snuck to talk to our waitress because I wanted to pay for the table without them knowing, and she knew exactly what to do. She was amazing. AMBIANCE - fancy, but not to the point where we felt uncomfortable. You don't have to be super dressed up, but no raggedy clothes. Totally appropriate. I will definitely be returning when we come back to Steamboat!

This great little restaurant was recommended by locals here and it did not disappoint. Prime rib was cooked to perfection for everyone in our party. Waiter and hostess were pleasant and quality of food was excellent! Try this little gem out!

Busy place during the early dining hours. The early bird is a good deal, but the seasonal special is even better. Must visit if in the area and better call for a reservation.

Had ore house steak and house potato. Steak and crab were good. House potato was not to my taste, but I could see some liking it. Salad bar was good, it's a shame that these have largely disappeared over the years. Nice add. The wine selection good. Overall, seriously overpriced,, but welcome to steamboat - everything is overpriced....... this just a bit more than most. No pics, pretty standard plating. Service was good. No complaints, good food, good service, nice atmosphere - and you pay handsomely for it.

Ambiance: 9.8 Value: 8.8 Cleanliness: 10 Taste: 9.2 Quality: 9 Service: 9.3 Meets Expectations: 9.8 Overall: 9.4/10 Price Range: $$ to $$$ Converted from a barn into a Western style steakhouse in 1971, The Ore House offers a wonderful dining experience that leaves your wallet not too wounded. My first big meal for my bachelor party, we stumbled in as a 7 top (we had reservations). Service was pretty good throughout, and the needs of the table were met well and in a timely fashion. The esthetic is dark, wood everywhere, clean, and inviting. It feels nearly perfect for what it is. I started with the Mountain Margarita, Mezcal, Green Chartreuse, Maraschino Liqueur, lime juice, and agave nectar. It's a unique take on a Last Word, subbing in Mezcal for the typical gin. I have to say it was exceptionally well balanced, and the smoke from the Mezcal does some magical things with the herbaceousness of the Chartreuse. Mexican, Italian, and French delights combine for an absolute treat on ice. Apologies for my photo taking, I seemed to be on a role with photos before the last bite. We ordered potato skins for the table. They were hearty, cheesy, and exactly what I would want in one. The salad bar is a nice addition. It comes with a meal. Everyone at the table was a fan of the wasabi ranch, an unexpected find but a very enjoyable one. For my meal, I ordered the special, a bison ribeye with sides of onion rings and the house potato. Order whatever you want when you come here, but for the love of everything, order the house potato. Think of it as flash fried mashed potatoes with cheese sauce on top. The steak was well cooked and nicely seasoned, and everything was just as I would hope for. One of the members at our table did unfortunately have a steak cone out not cooked to their specification, but such things do happen. A very nice experience, if I lived in Steamboat, I'd frequent the Ore House very often, and from what I hear, it is a local favorite. If you make your way up, be sure to stop in. Just be careful saying the name quickly to strangers. It can sound like a place you might not want to tell people you are going to!!
