I just paid 22.50 ($25.50 with tip) for a pretty mediocre burger and soggy, undercooked (though plentiful) fries, and no drink. Service was meh.. they failed to tell me of a $2 upcharge when I asked to substitute bleu cheese for cheddar. And honestly, just not a great burger. Won't be back. For Salida, The Boathouse has a better, beefier, tastier burger for less money. Sorry 50, I wanted to like ya. read more

2 ramens, some chicken strips, and a chicken sandwich with 2 shakes and a fountain drink was 96 dollars without tip. Feels a little outrageous to me. The chicken sandwich was good. I took off the grilled pepper (?) because it made the whole thing taste burned, but it was much better after that. Main complaint is that it fell apart. I had to eat it with a fork and knife. Ramens were bad. It's a weird culture mix because bulgogi is South Korean but ramen is Japanese. I can respect the fusion but the flavor was inexcusable. The protein was not bulgogi. They used the same grilled chicken on my sandwich in the "bulgogi grilled chicken ramen." The "beef bulgogi" was weird and had bacon in it. Broth was inoffensive but overall lacked seasoning. Chicken tenders were good. One of, if not the only, item(s) on the menu that came with fries. For $96, everything should've come with fries. I understand the restaurant's mission to be eco-friendly, and I support it, but these prices are outrageous. If they removed the ramen from the menu and instead allocated those funds to the good items on the menu, I think customers would have a much better experience. Wouldn't be surprised if my bank called and asked about this expenditure because it came out of left field. Ambiance was fine. Music was decent. The woman who took our order was sweet and seemed knowledgeable about the menu. I'm pretty sure she felt bad relating the total. Decent food. Stick to what they're known for and indulge in the shakes. The Dark Cherry and Strawberry were good. read more

Delicious very nice experience, welcomed, relaxed environment though busy. Never rushed, service excellent doors dynamic! Even the owners were helpful to their staff. I will definitely recommend! read more

Fries are very good. Kind of like shoe string style. The burger was 3 out of 5 stars. I got a fifty burger with cheddar. The burger was pretty greasy and lacked a ton of flavor. The atmosphere is great and service was awesome. read more

50 Burger - Burgers Near Me - Salida, Colorado

We hit 50 burger on a trip to Salida. It is easily accessible right off Hwy 50. Plenty of parking. They are following COVID restrictions (so masks, limited seating, etc...). It is counter service, but they also have a bar if you want a beer with your burgers. Hubby got the Stockyard (Beef, bacon, cheddar, ancho bbq, tomato, lettuce) and I got a special, the Reuben Burger (which was brisket burger, sauerkraut, deep fried jalapeño and sauce) and fries. First off, I LOVE their fries. They are the skinny salty kind. Burgers were great. I didn't really get the whole Reuben taste profile in my burger, but it was really delicious. Hubby loved his and I tasted his ancho bbq sauce and was sold! I would come back just for fries and that bbq sauce, but It was all awesome. Great experience. Highly recommend. read more

so good. blue cheese is a real high quality! bun just sturdy enough to hold up to how juicy this burger was. HUGE ONION RINGS! LOVE in house made onion rings super crunchy and flavorful. the only thing I would change is it needs a nice dill pickle to cut all the fat. they had a bread and butter pickle slices but the dill would of rocked. not gonna lie it was a bit pricey but for the quality of products they use it was worth it! read more

Great burgers and fries! Other comfort food is available too. I enjoy being able to get a burger on a salad instead of a bun. You can tell this is a chef owned restaurant because of the amazing house made sauces, hand cut fries and other details. read more

I've never had anything here I haven't liked. The burgers are delicious, but can be messy to eat. The service has always been excellent, and it's quiet enough to be able to heat your group. read more

While on an adventure trip in the mountains, we came here to grab some food and drinks. The reviews/photos looked good and mentioned that they had both breakfast & lunch (which is why we chose this place because, some people wanted breakfast). Unfortunately, they didn't have breakfast (we didn't ask but, there was no menu/items displayed that were breakfast options). When you walk in, all the chairs in the front room were stacked, masks required signs and 6ft X's on the floor-- COVID compliant. The menu (starters, burgers, salads, sandwiches & sides) is largely displayed above the ordering counter-- which is where you order and then sit down with a number. I did think it was more of a sit down so, I was a little thrown off by this ordering systems. As for the food, it took a bit of time for it come out and it wasn't really hot (i.e. the fries & burger)-- a bit of a bummer. The beer was our favorite part--very cold and refreshing. The staff was nice and seemed to work together. They all brought the food + drinks out and made sure every table had what they needed (napkins, sauces). read more

Place seemed to be hopping, burgers looked to be a little expensive. I say looked to be, because we stopped in because we needed patties for our dogs and didn't actually order or eat any human food. That being said, the patty was more than we are used to paying for a simple dog patty. Dogs seemed to enjoy. Best place for getting a patty for your dog continues to be In-and-Out where the meat is cheap and if you order a patty only, they automatically ask if you want "no salt." I'll be damned if I'm going to drive back to Colorado Springs for a patty, however. read more

Went to 50 Burger on the recommendation of a friend. Don't let the outside fool you. It may look like a made-over fast food joint but that is NOT what you will find inside. Certainly a cut above. The menu has as much variety as you would want for burgers. A lot to choose from. I tried the Bonfire (subbing Swiss for Bleu Cheese) and having onion rings for the side. Both the burger and onion rings were delicious and very filling. The Mrs. had the 50 Burger with cheese and a side of fries. The only down side was the wait time for the food and the price. It's just a little much for a burger (even an excellent burger), about 5 very large onion rings and a drink. I'd visit again if in the mood to splurge. read more

Great pit stop if you are in Salida! It's not in the major downtown section, but it's pretty close. They have a large variety of burgers and plenty of seating (outside or inside). They give you PLENTY of fries. If for some reason you don't order a burger, you can always share a side of fries between 2 people. I got the BONFIRE. Be warned this is a large burger, but very fun. I definitely ate it in bits and pieces. It comes with a fried jalepeno. Warning. It's not sliced jalepenos. It's a whole jalepeno that's fried. It comes with two giant onion rings as well. Everything else was as expected. Tastes great, so don't let the size of it intimidate you! read more

50 Burger - Bonfire - Burgers Near Me - Salida, Colorado

Low rating is for cost only. Food has alway been great. This past time stopping they completely priced us out. I ordered a burger, side, drink & tip was over $30 for one person. I know time are hard and cost has gone up, but there are other places you can go for much less in cost. read more

Wow. I thought I experienced sticker shock on a recent solo trip to 5 Guys where I spent $11+ on their little hamburger, smallest fries and a fountain drink. Try $38.25 for 3 basic burgers and fries and one chocolate malt. They cook their fresh ground brisket steak burgers medium. Your only other option is well done. Since I am not fond of the mouth feel of uncooked ground beef, I chose well done. Mistake. What I got was a dry, very chewy and quite disappointing flavored burger. The bun, cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato and pickle did nothing to redeem it. I have had other burgers done medium well to well that were still juicy, so I think the problem may be a lack of fat in the grind. The fries are shoestring (thin) and probably quite good if you eat them there. Ten minutes down the road with my to go order they were getting tough and chewy. Since I have described two food items as tough and chewy I must add the disclaimer that, no, I do not have a mouth full of worn down teeth or dentures. The chocolate malt was very good. The interior is roomy and comfortable with a beer bar on one side. The beer selection on the board had several interesting choices including Jai Alai IPA all the way from Cigar City Brewing in Tampa, FL. Most of the choices were from Colorado craft brewers. The counter service was excellent and my to go order came out quickly. There are other menu choices besides burgers that may get me back in to try, but I'll look for my burger elsewhere. Someone else mentioned that this site used to be a Burger King. Hard to believe that inexpensive burger option failed because 50 Burger is steadily busy. Go figure. read more

I can see why some recent reviews mentioned poor staff attitude. We got the same vibe when walking in. Never been here before and won't be back. It is like ordering at a McDonalds: wait in line, step up to the register and place your order. Pre pay and you're given a number to bring back to a table. Girl at the register was rather curt, no "welcome to 50 Burger" or any similar greeting. No eye contact, no nothing. Over $40 for two burgers, fries, one beer and one fountain drink (and, I pre-tipped 18% hoping there was some follow thru with bar service - nope, didn't happen). I had their western rueben (it was cabbage, no sauerkraut visible/flavor). My son had their Stockyard burger (think swimming in bbq sauce akin to Heinz 57). Far from gourmet. Save your money and go to Wendy's or elsewhere for a better experience. Two star review is being generous really... read more

Great burgers, shakes and beer selection. Wide variety of vegetarian options too. Now that's a tasty burger!

Just before closing on a Friday nite - I missed the cutoff last night so returned to sample the goods. Oh boy. Killer chocolate shake, just delicious and you get the extra in the big metal cup. Old school! But yes the burger was memorable. Juicy delicious thick patty on a homemade bun, fantastic. And while the fries looked terrific they really were just ok. Next time I'd skip and go for onion rings. Friendly young staff, great service. read more

The burgers are terrific and the fries were nice and hot and cooked perfectly. Their kitchen is highly efficient and the food came within 10 mins and the place was full. read more

This was the most delicious burger and cole slaw i have had in awhile. Healthy Food for a fair price. They had gluten-free buns too. The help was friendly, efficient and hard-working. The restaurant was clean and there was a variety of burger combination choices. Thank you for a healthy meal on our visit to Salida, Colorado. read more

Burger and craft beer joint on main drag. Lots of options we had their cheeseburgers with fries & onion rings. 1/3rd of a pound brisket burgers, skinny fries & big fat rings. All are served as a basket with the fries or small salad. Rings $2 up charge. Good food, nice indoor AC seating or outdoors if you like. A little pricy but that's eating out these days. read more

Stopped here after visiting Monarch Pass. Burgers were really good as well as the sides. Would definitely eat here again.

Very sweet people but the burger had very little flavor. I got the Boss with poblano pepper, jack cheese and jalepeno mayo. Was starving but only ate half because it was just meh and sooo sloppy with mayonnaise that wasn't peppery at all. Fries were mushy. But the bbq beans were yummy! Beer was half off for happy hour so that's good news! read more

One of the best places to eat in Salida. Great owners and staff. Excellent selection of rotating beers. The food is a bit pricey and there's no disguising an old fast food chain. read more

Ok! This place is amazing! I have eaten burgers everywhere and let me tell you this place---gotta stop at!! Loved the Riverside and canyon. Beyond believable. Juice just perfect. Dinner we had ramen bowls. Excellent!!! This place is a must!! read more

Love the concept, fast-casual food with a full bar built-in. I was worried when they said that medium was as low as they could go on the burgers, but thankfully medium was still pink in the middle. Delicious burgers, from someone who's kind of a snob about them. read more

OH MY!!!! We were looking for just a burger late in the day.... WRONG, this is no 'just a burger' kind of place!!! Just walking up to the place the aroma was amazing. Kind of expensive, but the burgers were ground brisket.... Well worth the ticket price..... we ended up with some onion rings (yum) I had a chocolate malt and my friend chocolate-coconut shake, could hardly finish that!!! Had to forget the burger after all, but they looked incredible!!!!! I'd you're ever even driving through Salida on US 50, be sure to make this a definite stop!!!!! read more

Bring your appetite! The burgers are amazing! Loved the Canyon Burger and the 50 burger. Salmon sandwich was great. Too bad we are only traveling through, would love to try more. read more

Good food. Ok service. Prices are a high. Make sure to let them know how you want your burger cooked, if not I believe they're cooked to medium well- but some of us don't like pink in our burgers. read more

Way overpriced for what it offers. Fries get stale and dry in 10 min despite their "secret" recipe. Bun on the hamburger is not beter than what you get in fastfood chains. read more

Burger was pretty excellent! Got the Shava and it was delicious! Fries come with so that was a plus because a lot of places in colorado charge extra for sides. Staff was very nice and cool atmosphere. There is a patio area also. Decent beer selection or you can have a boozy shake! read more

Amazing burgers, home made pickles, home made sauces, great service, great atmosphere!

10/10. Stopped in after a backpacking trip. Our group ordered a good selection of the menu - Happy Jack (chicken sandwich), fifty with cheese, coconut chocolate milkshake, onion rings, chocolate malt, and steak skewers. Burgers are good size/thickness - easily splittable if ordering other sides/snacks. Chocolate coconut milkshake was unique and delicious! Burgers are a reasonable price considering the size. We sat on the patio since we had dogs with us. read more

Loved this place!!! Burgers are phenomenal! Sat at the bar, Jen was great!! Great Burger bar atmosphere, local meat, fast service!!!

I stop here every time I am in town for work. Well, their hours changed due to COVID - although I walked in at 8pm (their new closing time is 8:30pm). I get it. Rough times, schedules change. But damn. Could you please stay open during your scheduled hours? Yes we all understand the situations... I am here not by choice but necessity. Please just advertise accurately. read more
