Jimmers BBQ, Burgers, & Beers

DiningOPERATIONAL★ 4.4
Cozy log-style dining area inside a park restaurant in Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park.

Prime Rib arrives hot and thick, the horseradish cutting through the smoke with a sharp snap. Pulled Pork is juicy and smoke-brined, tender enough to pull apart with a fork. Ribs offer a crackling bark and meat that slips clean from the bone. The room feels like a rustic cabin with a bar buzzing, perfect for a post-hike feast.
