About US
When David Freeman founded Sagebrush BBQ & Grill in 1999, he believed a restaurant should offer more than good food and drinks. It should be a true gathering place, an important part of the community, and a place where locals and visitors feel welcome.
For more than two decades, Dave and his family have helped build Sagebrush BBQ & Grill from the ground up, creating a consistent, welcoming environment that has made it a local favorite. The Freeman family is deeply involved in the restaurant, and so are the dedicated team members who help make Sagebrush what it is. Consistency matters, and Sagebrush’s year-round service, along with team members who have remained with the restaurant for years, decades, and even multiple decades, has helped make it a true staple in Grand Lake. The Sagebrush team is truly an extension of the Freeman family, and that sense of connection is felt by the guests they serve.
