The Roma is my favorite wood fire pizza: Marinara, Artichoke Hearts, Kalamata Olives, Roasted Garlic, Capers, Mozzarella, and Fresh Oregano! YUM!

It's always incredible service. And the vibe is so laid back but clean and inviting. You must eat here if you come through Salida.

Plenty of toppings, right amount of sauce and perfect crunch on the crust. We also shared a bowl of potato soup, soup of the day. Which came out pipping hot. Very clean and friendly staff. We always enjoy when we go to Salida. We own a salsa business, Lynda Sue's Salsa. We left a couple of jars for the staff to try. You can find our salsa at the LaGree's in Pueblo, Poncha Springs and Buena Vista. lsksalsa@gmail.com

Trying to catch all the local breweries in Salida, CO. Each…read moreis unique in their own. Stopped in to check it out; a Sunday, several people sitting at tables and a few at the bar. It's a fairly large interior and nicely decorated but low keyed; nothing extravagant but nice homey feel. We sat at the bar; the place now started to get really busy. I had the Charlie Brown; Pours a thin head on a light brown body. The aroma is mild grain and molasses. The taste has a mild sweet start with a nutty backend. The texture is thin. It has great flavor. Apparently it was the beer for the day since many patrons were selecting it. My other half ordered Zinga Son; a nice Mexican lager; tastes very similar to a Corona but the taste was much more rich and crisp; with a tad German hops and Mexican yeast. And yes a food truck on site for those that are hungry works and co-exists with the brewery. The menu is simple but effective. We did order a large pretzel with a nice German stone ground mustard. Enjoyed our time there! Also a shout out to Abby who handled the steady flow of customers and an extremely busy Sunday. She did it all with poise and grace! Stop in if you're in the area.

Our favorite was the falafel & hummous sandwich. It was piled high with two or three large falafel balls and tons of veggies. It was served on a nice, crusty, home-made pita. Definitely worth checking out if you want to sit outside or take food back to your place.

She was fantastic, attentive, funny, and really connected with us. It's great to find a restaurant where the food is better than you'd hoped, and we have very high hopes, but when the wait staff makes you not want to leave, you know you've found that hidden diamond. Thanks Shelby! We love you!!

Pulled into the parking lot and electric vehicle chargers were like towers of hope for the power-deprived traveler. The menu looked limited. Was there for lunch. Breakfast menu looks extensive and good. Ordered a burger and turkey club and iced tea. Overall it's great. There were so many people with dogs or multiple dogs that sitting peacefully in the exterior seating area wasn't that peaceful as bickering alpha dogs tried to act dominant by whelping and arguing with each other. Wasn't a fan of the barking and screeching and loudness that lasted the entirety of the meal while observing the dog owners either oblivious to the mayhem or ignoring it while swiping on their janky iPhones. I won't dock points in this review due to the dog drama. It is what it is. Salida is a wicked dog-friendly town. I will return for breakfast. You should also. You'll be glad you did.

Very consistent in all aspects of a restaurant; food taste, presentation and speed. The service is good. Although you order at the counter like a fast food place they bring the food out to your table. There is plenty of seating. The restaurant is always clean and inviting. Salida is a small town compared to many places in Colorado. So the competition may not be as much as say if they were in Denver but if they were there they would still shine because they're just that good. The burgers are very tasty, the fries are great, a large fry will feed two people easily. The shakes are really good. Just like in the past they come out with a full glass plus the remainder of shake in the stainless mixing cup. It's well worth the stop if you're in town and hungry.

We ordered the Yardbird (fried chicken sandwich - perfectly crispy, juicy, generous piece of chicken, perfectly buttered toasted bun, decent house made pickles), Big Zach (great char taste on the burger), garlic rosemary fries (STAR of the show, lots of fresh garlic - including full cloves, which were surprising but yummy, perfect amount of rosemary), a root beer float and a banana shake. Highlights: excellent fried chicken, char taste burgers, garlic rosemary fries, fresh and generous shakes (share with a friend!). Will be back during my next long stay in Salida!

If I can walk away without my anxiety being triggered or my allergies triggered, we have found a gem to return to. Driving from Colorado Springs through Salida, Co to the Sand Dunes, we decided to stop for a later lunch. We stopped by The Boathouse and was rather loud along with no four top outside. The host referred us to Pizza Rio and said they had outdoor seating and it's usually quieter. Heading up the stairs, customers coming down said it's worth it. The host showed us the tables outside and indeed was very quiet and had a beautiful view of the river. When we sat down, the heaters were still on but the server turned them off for us and opened the shade screen. My husband got the Greek salad with a slice of pepperoni pizza. My son got the vodka penne pasta, my mom got the meatball grinder and I got the Greek salad with arugula and spinach and the spaghetti and meatballs. Everything on the menu said it was made in house including the dressings. And WOW!!!! The flavor these dishes had was top notch Italian and dishes were decent/big sized. Cost wasn't as high as we thought, and the server was extremely accommodating. I would recommend this place to anyone passing through. Great job to the cooks, amazing!!!
