My son and I were visiting Manitou Springs on a very hot 93°F day while exploring the area's for their natural springs. We were looking for a place with air conditioning and cold drinks, and after checking Google reviews, this restaurant stood out because of its convenient location and positive ratings. Since it was a busy "Summer Springs Sunday," there was a wait for tables. However, as a party of two, we were able to find seats at the bar right away. I enjoyed a Snow Capped Cider, while my son ordered a Lemonade Sour. Both drinks were refreshing after spending time outdoors. For food, I ordered the Hatch Brat with fries. The brat was flavorful, but it had more cheese than I would have preferred, and the fries seemed undercooked. My son chose the Nashville Hot Honey Chicken sandwich. He described it as average, and unfortunately, his fries were also undercooked. Our server and bartender, Josephine P., was friendly and efficient throughout our visit. The restaurant offers both indoor and patio seating. Guests should note that several Patio rules are posted near the entrance, and a no-public-restroom policy. The menu is fairly vast , with a solid selection of local beers available. There is also a 2% fee for credit card transactions. The location is convenient, situated right near the Manitou Bathhouse. While our meal was somewhat mixed, the service, atmosphere, and beverage selection were positives. If I return, I would be interested in trying a different menu item. Overall, this was a pleasant stop during a hot summer day in Manitou Springs. The cool indoor atmosphere, quality drinks, excellent service from Josephine, and convenient location made for an enjoyable experience. Although the food did not completely meet our expectations, there were enough positives that I would consider returning and exploring more of the menu in the future.
I'm just leaving this at a 3 star because I got food poisoning. The burger didn't taste horrible which I was curious how the guacamole would complement it, quite nice. Still food poisoning is bad so I doubt they are very clean in the kitchen. Super soggy fries too not very good. Excellent service, everyone was extremely polite and accommodating. Not terrible food I just don't like getting food poisoning lol. Good drinks here so i'd recommend doing that and eating else. Plenty of seating too though which is nice.
Food was overall, good. Service was great. Ambiance was fine. Nice place to hit after a long day of visiting the area. If you are not a salt person. I highly recommend asking for light salt on fries. Truffle fries were heavy on salt as well which overpowered the truffle.
Super spacious dining room. The food is absolutely phenomenal; this place deserves more than 3.9 stars. Give it a shot if you love to spice up your burgers with a plethora of different ingredients. The bibb lettuce that they use is wonderful. They have homemade sauces, ranch being my favorite. Definitely give this place a shot. Service was good enough for us. We like when we're left alone. Refills were offered and our sever, Matthew, was very helpful with the menu :).
Visiting Colorado and had just come from The Garden of the Gods and were hungry. The friend we were with said this place was good. The server who was very polite recommended the Texan jalapeño popper burger. I don't usually eat something like that but I went ahead and ordered it with a side of onion rings. I'm so glad I got that burger because it was delicious, very messy but delicious. The onion rings were HUGE , and good. My husband got the bacon cheeseburger which he said was good, had tons of bacon. I'd definitely come back if ever in the area again and would definitely order the same burger.
This is a fast paced burger bar with big beautiful burgers! The prices are a little more that than other options but you definitely get more than what you pay for when you see and taste these delicious burgers and the onion rings are massive! We had great service and I would definitely recommend this place to anyone passing through Manitou Springs!
Border Burger Bar is a great place to relax and eat while siteseeing/shopping in Manitou Springs. The menu has a large variety of starters, burgers, sandwiches, salads and sides and everything looked so good as I checked out what others diners had ordered. They also had a full drink menu with both alcoholic and NA beverages. We ordered 2 burgers for 3 of us and also shared the large bowl of tasty coleslaw slaw. The only complaint we had was that the tomato slices on both burgers were really yellow in the middle. We all discarded them. But the hand cut fries were delicious and the burgers were very good. Our server was Cason, and he was perfect. He made great suggestions and in spite of having a lot of tables we never had to wait for anything. I will definitely be back next time I'm in the area.
This is right in the middle of Manitou city. It is in an old health spa building. The ambiance is real retro. There were 6 of us so we tried a lot of different things. We had 2 appetizer the fried Twinkie and Texas balls. Both were ok the fries Twinkie was very spicy but good. The balks were a bit weird for my taste. One of the good things was that the kids loved the kids menu and they let my 14 year old order off of it. The service was great and friendly.
After exploring Garden of the Gods we were on the hunt for a family friendly place nearby where we could sit down and enjoy a meal. After some searching, Border Burger Bar came up and I'm glad it did as it was a hit for our whole crew! I've been to Manitou Springs many times over the years, but there are still many restaurants I haven't yet tried. This one was new to me, and it really hit the spot on a spring afternoon. If you have kids it's a good option as it's a burger place and they have a robust kids menu. For the grown ups we split a burger and fries, and each tried a local beer. The baby just had a bottle :-) The staff was super friendly, it was easy to get in for lunch, and we had a great time. I'd definitely return if in the mood for burgers next time we're in the area.
My boyfriend and I had a great time dining at this burger spot. I ordered the Miami--also known as the Hangover Burger--and it was a surprisingly delicious combination of queso, caramelized onions, and an over-easy egg. The flavors came together perfectly and definitely lived up to its name. If you're adventurous and not a picky eater, I highly recommend giving it a try--it was exactly what I needed to cure my hangover!
Good spot for a casual burger dining experience with spacious seating. Ordered some appetizers to start which was probably the highlight of the meal. The burgers themselves are all unseasoned. Guacamole was fresh which was great but lacked flavor as well. Their homemade ranch was a highlight. And their fries were very good reminded me of five guys. Overall not a bad spot for this cute shopping area but for a place that has "burger" in the name I think that area lacked the most. Service was fine.

Greeted with a senile and sat immediately on the patio on beautiful day. Gwyn has great attitude and vibe. Lots of local beers so good selection of brews. Had the green hatch chile burger which has great flavor but a bit overcooked. The Saratoga Sammy was very tasty. Juice Drop Beer from Breckenridge was nice. Onion rings are amazing! read more

Border Burgers seriously blew me away. The burgers were absolutely amazing--juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. And can we talk about the margaritas for a second... why does this burger place have the world's best house marg?! It was dangerously delicious. We were in a hurry with only about 30 minutes before a tour, and they got our food out lightning fast without sacrificing quality. Everything came out hot, fresh, and exactly what we needed. If you're anywhere near Border Burgers, do yourself a favor and stop in. Incredible food, fast service, and margaritas that deserve their own fan club read more

Wow! We visited in the late winter, so seating was not a problem. My son ordered the Grilled Mozzarella sticks, which were delicious and plentiful. I ordered the Country Frisco. The spicy Asian sauce really tops this chicken sandwich. We couldn't walk away hungry, and a couple of people got to go boxes. The fries are very good, too! Parking was pay-by-the-hour. It's a neat little town with several shops and very nice view. read more
One sure sign that a meal was truly good is when you can still recall its satisfactory taste and presentation hours or days later. That's exactly what happened after my partner and I dined at BBB. He tried the Patty Melt (which he loved) and I ordered the Salmon Burger (which was excellent). A restaurant that can dare to have a seafood burger on their menu and execute it successfully is deserving of major kudos. It was so delicious. Kudos also to our server who was thorough and friendly, as well as the fun patio we got to enjoy. If you're visiting like we were; I'd say BBB should most definitely be on your list! read more

We sat on the patio and it was so nice for early October! Dog friendly, great service and the atmosphere was so chill. I didn't get a picture of my Border salad with the red Chicken but the chicken was fantastic. The hubs had an Elk burger. It wasn't "my thing" but he loved it! Sweet potato fries with marshmallow cream, fried pickles were a hit with their ranch. The lemon vinaigrette dressing on my salad was really tangy but not in a bad way, I'm just not a super tangy person. Should've opted for the ranch. Otherwise, enjoyed everything from the hostess stand to paying the bill! Also, the blueberry blonde beer was so yummy! read more
If you are looking for a burger to meet everybody's taste, I highly recommend Border Burger Bar. They had burgers from all over the world that included fish, chicken, shrimp, tuna in addition to the meat patty. It's a small place and they try really hard to keep the flow moving so you don't have to wait too long. But because of this the service was a bit poor for our table. It's a cute little place with a big selection of burgers! Give it a try. read more

Stopped here for a bite after visiting Pike's Peak. Seriously so good! Loved the variety and even the kids meal didn't disappoint. Great burger and loved the locally sourced ingredients! The marshmallow sauce for the sweet potato fries was top notch! read more

The first time we visited was July 16 and was awesome. The second time we brought my family and was extremely disappointed. The service was horrendous, we waited 45 minutes for drinks and to take order, then we waiting another 40 minutes for appetizers. We waited 30 minutes for our meals and were very cold. The fries were greasy and cold, the hamburgers were cold and over cooked. We sent back one burger because we were hungry and tired of waiting. Should have sent them all back. The waitress first blamed it in the kitchen, then blamed it on to many people. There was 2 other tables that came in after us and left before us. Very disappointed for our 2nd time. read more

If you have kids this is the spot. The staff is friendly and the food was insanely good. Anyone who gives this place bad reviews is most likely your average miserable yelper. They also have a kids menu which we were unsure of when coming. read more

Absolutely delicious! Ordered the veggie burger and didn't regret a single thing. It was delicious and wasn't dry- which is common. The fries were heavenly and obviously very fresh. The house made ranch is a must try and the hand battered onion rings were so full of flavor. My partner ordered a meat burger and really liked it, too. The server was sweet and helpful and wasn't hurried or frantic. We sat on the patio and it was nice. It's right beside a little stream and is peaceful. It got a bit hot when the sun moved but it wasn't too big a deal. read more

Stopped in on Father's Day for lunch with my hubby, our 9yr old son, adult daughter, her husband and our grandson. I got a salad, it was a large portion, although the lettuce itself had an odd taste like it needed to be rinsed better? Kind of a chemical taste which was completely unappetizing. The chicken was good. It was definitely NOT worth $18 though by NO means, not even close. Our server was very nice & on top of things. Hubby's polish sausage looked like something I could make at home & would be better tasting. My daughter got the club sandwich and it looked good & the fries were decent flavored, but very limp and soggy. My son-in-law got the smallest toughest cooked lobster roll I've ever seen & it was $19. It's way overpriced for the quality. It definitely needs more healthy options besides just a few salads. read more

Nestled in the bank of the water in Manitou Spring - this restaurant has fabulous outdoor seating. We were sat promptly. Our server was awesome, very attentive. We started with the cannon balls - mashed potatoes, bacon, cheese and chives deep fried. They were so delicious - a must try!! My husband and I both got burgers. You can tell they're made in-house. They were yummy. They also have fresh cut fries -- my favorite! I upgraded mine to truffle fries. Sadly, they were a bit too oily for my liking. I'd recommend going with the naked fries. Tip: A bagpiper was playing across the water. It was cool for the first few minutes, but after 30 it wasn't. I actually love bagpipes - I grew up listening to my dad playing them. This particular piper is not good. If you get a table outside and he's playing, take my advice and change to a table inside the restaurant. You'll thank me!! read more
Great food all around the board. Burgers were all flavorful and delicious, the club sandwich was exactly what I was looking for as well. Filling but not heavy. Their kids activity book was a huge win for my kiddo because she had lots to do in it. The music was fun and the wait staff was all very friendly and helpful. Our food came out fairly quickly which was great too since they were packed! The only thing that kind of was a bummer is there's only 2 one stall bathrooms so be aware that if you have to go there may be a bit of a line on a busy day. But otherwise this is an amazing place to stop and eat or get a drink in this beautiful city. The bar was well stocked as well from what we saw and their menu is good too. read more
"Burger" - Ronnie Boy Kids. You can get your burger any way you want here that's for sure. They even had a veggie version (yay) and burger with Macaroni and Cheese, no joke. My son said the mac cheese had no flavor. I hear that high altitude does affect your taste buds, however, and we came from an elevation of 1,066 (Hawaii) to Manitou Springs 6,412 ft, making the taste buds less sensitive to salt, and even walking around there made us huff and puff, so we knew we were high up! Food was pretty good. Service was pretty good. Ambience was just fine. I've read the food here was pretty greasy but our food was OK on the day we visited. Mac-n-cheese burger $16.45 -7/10 stars The Oregon veggie burger $13.95 - 7/10 stars The Memphis pulled pork $14.95 - 8/10 stars the onion rings that came with everything else was a solid 9/10 stars White sangria $7.00 - 7/10 stars, pretty good overall. Value was 7/10 stars overall. Return factor - definitely will try other things on the menu if we ever come back to Manitou Springs! read more
