"I always tell people that it is harder to find a bad meal in Steamboat than it is a great one. My husband and I wanted to get out of our regular routine, so we decided to head Slopeside and check Timber Torch for Happy Hour. First, let me say the staff is fantastic. We were warmly greeted by the host, who offered to close the garage doors when the rain came. Our server, Maddy, was attentive and informative about the menu. The first disappointment was that no food specials are offered for Happy Hour, which is unusual for Steamboat, but not a deal breaker. My husband ordered the Strawberry Basil Margaritas. It was OK, but a bit boring. For snacks we ordered the nachos (Timber Torchos) and the fried chicken sandwich. Maddy had said it was VERY spicy, so l ordered it with the sauce on the side. The items arrived. Nachos were good, and the French fries that came with the sandwich were great. Sauce was served on the side, and they even brought us some ranch and ketchup for dipping. So far so good. The real problem started when I took a bite of the sandwich. Now, full disclosure, I 'm a spice wheeny but my mouth felt like it was on fire! They had served 'extra ' sauce on the side, but still soaked the chicken in the spicy sauce. My husband went and found our server, who quickly apologized, and took my sandwich for a recook. Problem #2 was how long it took to get the corrected sandwich (noticeably longer than the first sandwich), and #3, the new sandwich had 1/2 as much chicken on it. The sandwich was just OK. Problem #4, no one else came by to check in and discuss the mistake, which bugs me. All in all, the night wasn 't worth it. And I doubt we’ll be back."
