Great local Salida experience. The food is very good. If you love Wide Spread Panic...this is yoir place. Lots of gluten free optioms.
I would give this six stars if I could! Place was busy on a Sat afternoon, but still got a table to dine in. Burger was grilled perfectly, and delicious, and the french fries were experts seasoned and piping hot! Person working the counter and running food was so friendly and happy, and the owner chit-chatted with people and seemed to know lots of folks by first name. Highly recommend!
Met the owner, very cool, laid back, man. Excellent burgers fries and green chili. We very much enjoyed this meal while traveling through Colorado, heading to Durango.
Can’t believe we have not eaten here before. Had the Smokey and hubby had Cubana. So so good. The owner is so fun. He is a true Wide Spread Panic fan. Such an experience talking with him. We will definitely be visiting again. Justine we look forward to seeing your chalk art this weekend!!
Me and the wife went out on the motorcycle with no particular plan and ended up here 2 hours later. I regret that I do not remember the owners name but he was very nice and we had several conversations about motorcycles and business as I am also a business owner. It’s small but the Atmosphere is awesome, the food is absolutely delicious and if you are in the area definitely give it a try. We would gladly ride 2 hours there for lunch anytime!!!
I can’t say enough good things about this place! The employees, the owner the food!! BEST fries in all our travels! The food is fresh and oh so yummy as you can see we took a bite before taking photo. It smelled delicious!
