Elk strip, bone-in Duroc pork chop, ribeye, mahi mahi. Every steak and chop crosses a pecan-wood fire, never a gas flame.

Pecan wood, open flame

Few restaurants cook like this

1,000°FPecan wood-fired grill

Most places grill with gas or electric heat. At Eddyline we do things differently. Our pecan wood-fired grill burns at over 1,000°F, giving our steaks, seafood, and chops a signature smoky crust and rich depth of flavor. Taste the difference only true open-flame cooking can create.

  • Steaks, chops, and seafood finished over live pecan coals
  • Ribs, pulled pork, and wings smoked in-house
  • Sauces, dressings, and salsas made from scratch daily, free of seed oils
  • Grass-fed beef raised down the road in Nathrop, Colorado

Beers for any adventure

Poured a mile from where it’s brewed

Eddyline has brewed in Buena Vista since 2009 and put craft beer in 16 oz cans before it was a thing. A dozen of those beers are on tap here, next to a cocktail list built on Deerhammer whiskey, Montanya rum, and Pure Distilling gin.

Bright room, big views

Our story

An eddyline is where fast water meets calm, the spot where paddlers pull out, catch their breath, and plan the next move. That is what this place has been for Buena Vista since 2009. The restaurant at South Main is the newest chapter: the same house-made everything, cooked over a wood fire.
