Burgers were great. Milkshakes were pricey $$ and the staff were challenged to make them correctly. Service was non-existent:( kitchen staff was having a meltdown and customers heard profanity all they way in the back. Check your glasses for floaters (we found lettuce in our drinks?????). You will also need to get all of your condiments and utensils. Don't wait on anyone to get them for you or your food will be cold. read more

Local burger but you can literally have a steak across the street cheaper than the basic burger ! Tourists trap

Go here. We didn't really look at the menu before going, we just knew it was our last night in town and this was one restaurant we hadn't been. Didn't really want want a burger but hey, let's go. We walk in and saw the noodle bowls on the menu and that changed the mindsets. Then we started talking to the fellow working the counter and things got even better. He needs a raise. When the food arrived, that took things over the top. Go here. It's a nice change. read more

Definitely a favorite go-to for lunch or dinner! I usually always get the Happy Jack but this time I got the uptown! Everything is always fresh and delicious. Milkshakes are a MUST! The only hassle can be the wait (sometimes!) but that's everywhere you eat out in my opinion. read more

Love this place! Food is great, staff is friendly, great selection of food and beverage. The Bonfire and Happy Jack are a couple of my faves and the wife's is the Steak Bowl. The Mudslide is a favorite adult shake. Glad this is one of the restaurants thriving in Salida. We are grateful for it! I highly recommend and am a local regular. read more

It was a very good place to go!I got a noodle bowl it was fantastic, I loved the grilled chicken and vegetables included in the dish, I would so get it again even though it was huge. Though I didn't get a burger my friend got one and said it was phenomenal. Also I got a raspberry chocolate shake and omg so yummy! If your looking for a place with a burger, or maybe fish and chips and a milkshake definitely come here! read more

Awesome burgers and fries..extra clean..great beer selection..checks all the blocks, excellent food

4 star because the quality of the product. I wouldn't go so far as to call it gourmet but specialty for sure. With brisket steak in the burgers. Sandwiches like The Crispy Snapper. Falafel with Arugula and Chimichurri. Turkey Bacon with Kimchi and others. I had the Shavano, 1/3 pound brisket steak burger ground local in small batches. Very good taste, not hand friendly. They assemble with Romaine so the spine of the leaf really throws off the ease to hold and bite. The bacon is thick, the tomatoes are thick and the Garlic mayo is generous. Try it by hand and you may need to bring a clean shirt and pants. I think the whole staff was eye-ballin me as I had no choice but to break down their beautiful burger creation with a knife and fork. The fries were too salty for my taste but fresh cut and a very generous serving. Overall pretty good place at a premium price! read more

It was a bit pricey! Burger was good and so was hotdog. No changing table in bathroom for littles! read more

The milkshakes here are bomb! But the trick is, if you order one, you've gotta grab two to go cups. If you ask for one to go, you miss out on your money's worth of ice cream and everyone knows that. Pricing for food in this town is robbery most the time, but ya know most of y'all will pay it so I guess they are the sMart ones right?? I think the food is gross and bland. Also, the older cashier is rude And the cooks just stare at you. It's weird. read more

So appreciate that they have gluten-free options and were nicely accommodating! The burger was delicious!!! Very clean and friendly spot.

I rarely give 5 stars but this place deserves it. If I lived in Salida I'd probably be here *at least* once a week. The prices aren't necessarily the cheapest, but it's some of the best food I've had. I'm a self (and friend) proclaimed salad queen and I got the best salad I've ever ordered, maybe ever had, here. I got the nutty harvest salad (quinoa, walnuts, cranberries, broccoli, edamame, greens) with falafel ($12.50) and it was OUTSTANDING. My bf got a burger that had pulled pork ($12.50) and it was equally as amazing. The fries were almost exactly like McDonalds, thin and super crispy. Huge portions! Good tap list too! So sad I live almost 2 hours away! read more

My husband and I stopped at 50 Burger for a late lunch as we were passing through Salida on our way home and we were both pleasantly surprised by the food here! We both ordered the Cottonwood burger which had bleu cheese, grilled onions and spinach on it - it was absolutely amazing, it was super juicy, tender and flavorful, although quite messy haha. The fries were delicious as well. They had quite a selection of beer available and plenty of seating at the bar, inside, or out on the patio. We will definitely stop here again next time we pass through Salida. read more

Oh wow! This is honestly the best burger I have ever had! The French fries were good too! I ordered the "Stockyard" and asked for the house made ancho chili BBQ sauce on the side... I'm glad I did, because it's the only think I did not like... There were 5 of is in my group, and the bill was $68.30 -- I thought that was kind of high, but then again it WAS the best burger I ever had! :) read more

The burgers are great, the beer is yummy, servers are attentive but the best part....THEY ARE DOG FRIENDLY ON THE PATIO!!!!! (the waiter even offered a fresh bowl of water for the Big Guy) A Great Dane and 2 Newfs didn't faze them one bit. read more

While looking for somewhere good for lunch, we passed 50 Burgers and shakes. We turned around and I am sure glad we did. Not only delicious burgers, (I had a poblano guacamole jack cheese) but also great fries and giant onion rings. The milkshakes were perfect for a hot day. I spoke with Megan, one of the staff, who told me about where they get their fresh beef, and fresh salmon for their Asian BBQ noodle bowls. Our meal was beyond the typical burger and fries. It was a gourmet gem hidden in the little city of Salida read more

Well I have a proclivity for Local spots, but that couldn't overcome the bad execution and poor value. My wife had the classic melt that she thought was just ok, I had the chicken sandwich and it was meh. The burgers are 1/3rd lb. but they run $12 or more. The shake was the star but it was $7. read more

The building looks like an old burger king but the food is a million times better. A the staff does a good job making sure you have what you need read more

Best burger I've had in awhile! Great local vibe, family friendly ambiance and artisanal flair.

Busy little road side burger joint with great tasting food. We got the Cottonwood burger and a Uptown (normally chicken, but they let me sub in beef). Both were delicious, great mix of flavors and meat was tender and tasty. Fries were also good. We didn't get a chance to sample the milk shakes this go around, but this place is a great stop after a long day of hiking and running. Definitely worth the extra expense over any fast food restaurant. read more

We enjoy this stop when we travel from CO Springs to Montrose and back - try to time it so we can always stop. Burgers are great and so are the onion rings! Planning to try some ice cream next time. They do pup patties for our doggies too. read more

If your passing through Salida and your hungry this is the place you need to stop. Wonderful fresh food. We left full and wanting to come back to try something else! read more

I will say that the choices are amazing and the food is great. My only complaint would be the prices are high. We are a family of four and even with being careful of our choices it was $65 at lunch time. I would highly recommend the onion rings. read more

Stumbled upon this place while driving to the royal gorge railroad. Stopped to have some burgers. Got a turkey burger with avocado and a burger with the basics. Super great buns and nice meat flavor. Loved the French fries. They were so tasty! It does take a little time to get your food as it's cooked to order so sit back and relax. read more

The burgers were tasty, but very messy. It also takes a really long time to get your food. We were in a hurry and it took over 20 minutes to get for burgers and fries. It made us late to our rafting trip. I might go back, but it would possibly order in advance read more

Easily one of the best turkey burgers I've ever had. We were taken aback by the prices upon walking in, but after eating, it was totally worth it. The food took ~20 minutes to arrive at our table, but we don't mind a wait. Nice selection of beer to choose from, clean restaurant, fresh-cut fries...what more could you ask for? read more

50 Burger - So delicious - Burgers Near Me - Salida, Colorado

If starting a decent, yet "artisan", burger joint in an defunct Burger King sounds crazy, it is. Now, this place is not perfect. it is just a semi-renovated Burger King with the ball pit removed and a bar quickly thrown in, with some kitschy Colorado stuff/beer distributor swag on the walls. It feels like the summer beach bars I worked at on the East Coast. The food is very, very good. It's locally sourced and well prepared. The menu choices are small, but eclectic, from bulgogi to falafel. I went for the burgers a few times. My favorite is the Shavano, named for a local mountain. The egg and burger are always cooked perfectly for me, making the very creamy mouth feel they talk about on Food Network. Which also means you won't get a burger past medium well, because...well, just because. The fries are hot and fresh, bordering on McD addictive fries. It is a menu you could find at Grand Central Market or Chelsea Market for the same inflated price. Which is exactly why this place has "popped up" in Salida. The other analogy to Burger King is the service beyond the register. Without going into a ton of detail, there were more flags than a Raiders game or a "nightmare" show on TV. And it wasn't the only time. The last time I went was the worst(jaw dropping) and it probably will be the last for a long time. Other places are doing artisan food and getting beyond the register right. The food industry is hard, especially in these days of fickle, informed patrons and the web. And I am by no means saying the food is the problem. It is quality designer burgers and food, without question. And you should go at least once. You won't regret it once. But, it's more than just food. read more

This is my first time here, but will not be the last! The burgers are huge, fresh, and deliciously juicy. The garlic rosemary fries are to die for, but the onion rings are monumental...the size of a baseball with a light crispy beer batter I want to marry! The staff are great. I thought we were stopping at a simple burger joint...boy, was I pleasantly surprised! read more

Great burgers and fries. Fast service and clean restaurant. Great milkshakes . Nice outdoor seating

Chose this spot based on location and other reviews. I made a great choice. Ordered at the counter, the staff was very friendly. I ordered their breakfast burrito and coffee. Breakfast for under $10, wow. When the burrito was brought to me it was a monster and it was covered in green chile, that was not expected but was a great surprise as I am a chile verde fan. Great take on what could have been a run of the mill burrito. This was full of fresh spinach, whole pinto beans, tomatoes, eggs, sausage patties and cheese. It was as I said, a monster that I could not finish. This was a great meal at a very reasonable price. Clean dining room, friendly staff and great food. read more

I've worked at 50 burger for 3 years now an the cooks get nothing but comments and you know islts great to hear a customer leave 50 burger and not only they thank the front of the house but they thank back of the house they thank the cooks they thank the dishwasher it's awesome to have customers come through like that even if its there first time every that comes to 50 burger is amazing. If anyone comes through or has had 50 burger they will recognize the cooks anyone of us we love the business and we love our customers read more

Terrible service specially the girl at the bar rude u polite and with attitude. She didn't have a name tag. One is very nice but the other one not at all. read more

Fantastic food, great burgers, fun atmosphere. A decent burger doesn't just happen by itself. It takes extremely friendly, awesome (and might I add very good-looking) cooks, dishwashers, cashiers, bus-boys and waitstaff. After a day of busting bumps in the trees at Monarch ski area, it was just 'what the Doctor ordered'. Fantastic job, people. read more

VERY impressed, starting with the charming and ever smiling young woman who took my order. The place was packed and with good reason. The menu is impressive and it's not just burgers. The ramen soup bowls, seriously delectable hot dogs on a sturdy bun that does not fall apart, the BEST onion rings ever dipped into hot oil, superb cold slaw... I just cannot find words to describe this high end "hamburger joint". The staff are young, energetic folks who really seem to enjoy their jobs and eager to answer all my questions. There is actually a milk shake counter and they use quality ice cream (Shamrock) with fresh berry ingredients (the raspberries they grow in Salida)... for $7 you can get a memorable milk shake that can give you flashbacks to the 1950's. You're gonna' love this place, the food, the people and you'll come back again and again. read more

Love this place, found it while driving by. A lot of traffic in the restaurant at 12pm Sunday. I had the Stockyard burger, cooked medium. Very tasty. Wife had the grilled chicken salad and loved it as well read more

50 Burger - Burgers Near Me - Salida, Colorado

Forget all the hype, and the expensive radio ads. It comes down to three things. The food. The service. The atmosphere. And to tell the truth. Only one element stands out. The service. I've had the "opportunity", to visit this establishment on three occassions; the first time at my own volition. The other two, at the demanded insistence of my group. Pricing is ridiculous. $16 for the ONLY double on their menu. The fries are inedible, ( unless you like slivers of hand cut potato flash fried so hard you feel them cutting your esophagus), the "pickles", are cucumbers set in yesterday's apple cider vinegar. The ONLY saving grace foodwise is the beef patty itself. Wonderfully seasoned, and the fry cooks know their business when you say medium rare. The staff is phenomenal, fast, n friendly. The menu....too bougie for words. read more

Yum yum yum Their 1/3 lbs were huuuuuge (trump voice) Had the one with fried egg and bacon added cheese It's a lil pricy but well worth it. I hate skinny fries but theirs were salted to purrfection The onion rings were real home grown country girl treats as well. Thiiiiiuck read more

Exciting new burger joint in Salida with a unique menu and beer selection. I had the Shavano burger, which had a beef party, 2 large, thick cut pieces of bacon, fried egg, lettuce, tomato and a garlic mayo with what I'm guessing was a brioche bun. The burger was very good, and cooked right around well done. Fries that came with it were pretty good. My daughters got the kids half fifty burger meal and they enjoyed it. Wife had a salad and there was a mixup on the order and the salad was a bit under dressed, but they seemed to have a good selection of salads on the menu. Didn't try any of the beers, but again was excited to see a pretty extensive menu offering. All in all this place was good and we'll be back. It's a little pricier than we like to pay, but I think the quality and quantity justified the price read more

We were passing through on vacation and came upon this spot by chance - what a find! Having just opened, it was quite crowded - so we did have to wait in line, but we were in no hurry. And it proved to be worth it. I got the avocado alfalfa melt, a hearty vegetarian offering. Crisp bread, melted just right, and with the spark of green veggies to offset the rich cheeses. My husband tried the Bonfire Burger and said it was excellent. Bleu cheese and chili, what an interesting combo. Portions were generous, so we didn't have room to try anything else. On the way back, though, look forward to trying the Pork Noodle Bowl and the garlic fries. read more

Wow! It's a rough, harsh crowd here in Salida! Romaine isn't appropriate on a high end burger??? We just had lunch here. The bulgogi noodle bowl was superb. The bone broth had tremendous depth and body to it. The steak in it was tender, flavorful and juicy. This ramen was wonderful. Our Shavano burger and fries equaled any burger we've ever had before. It was more than finger licking good, it was great! You need even more protein than is normally provided, ask them to double it. PS Loved the pickles! read more
