Great burgers and fries at this place. They grind their own meat. Caesar salad was great. The service was very good. I love the giant glasses of water. They serve at the table. Great setting right next to the old bathhouse here in town. Historic. I would definitely recommend this place for history and for food... generous portions, too exclamation

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.

The Border Burger*

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.

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.

The Classic*

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 :).

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 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!

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.

The Miami the Hangover Burger*

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!

The Incline Spicy Guacamole Burger*
Hannah S.

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.

Karson G.

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

An artistic looking food truck located beside SunWater Spa. Spouse got the Red Eye burger and I got…read morethe sweet potato fries. My fries were a great serving and I don't know what my dipping sauce was but it was fantastic!! I usually get a sweet sauce (marshmallow, syrup stuff) and this was a green creamy sauce you could put in burgers, tacos, whatever and it went amazing with my fries! I wanted to buy a whole squeeze bottle of it. The burger was great with tons of different flavors that complimented each other. We did overhear about 3 different people talk about how they have the best BLTs so, next time! You will be served by two big burly friendly guys...that make wonderful food with a big smile. I do recommend getting there with plenty of time to spare if you have somewhere you need to be or just be prepared to have a nice leisurely lunch with your friend, pup or by yourself. Their food is made to order and can take a little bit of time especially if they get a rush.

Loved the location, loved the food, loved the vibe. Loved it all!…read more Starting with the location: It was a beautiful sunny day in a tucked away spot in Manitou when we came to Tava. I have to say, as a food truck, I know you roam, but it's picturesque for you when you're in manitou. But really Tava could be anywhere and I'd come. Food: The food was fresh and cooked to order. Comes with the territory I would assume when you order from a food truck? Admittedly I don't do it often, but apparently I need to. We received the fearless goddess sandwich, a peach smoothie, a berry smoothie and their soup special the tomato bisque. Oh! The fearless goddess came with a side as well so we got the sweet potato fries. The sandwich had fresh jalapeños on it and it added the perfect kick of spice needed to break up how decadent the sandwich was. The sweet potato fries were crispy and the aioli was a great addition to dip them in. The smoothies were refreshing and tasted of real fruit. Don't at me, I've had many a smoothie that tasted artificial. The soup was perfect for my daughter, she loves soup of all sorts. It was warm and cozy. We eat soup all year long in my house hold so I was happy. We enjoyed the seating area outside that had misters going to help cool things down as well. It was a very chill place to watch dogs play across the street at the park, catch some sun and enjoy some great food. This is a solid spot for either lunch or dinner honestly. Your choice.
