What a great stop! We were greeted as we entered the place had seats at the bar/2 tall chairs by a whiskey barrel table or a few regular tables and chairs. Waitress came over quickly got our drink orders, she was so friendly felt like we were old friends. Ordered the chilli cheese fries and the mineshaft burger with onion rings. It took a while to get our food but was worth it. The burger was delicous( brioche bun kinda tough) onion rings were crispy and so good. The fries were large and covered with cheese and chilli. There was outside seating in front and out back. Clean bathrooms. I definately recommend you to stop here if your in RIco. read more

Deicious food and pleasant atmosphere but service was lacking. After waiting a very long time, our order was served to another party who arrived after we did. Then their order was later served to us...so of course everyone's orders were wrong. The food was very tasty... but I ordered medium well burger w/fries.... not medium rare w/onion rings. Young servers were not attuned to customer's needs. read more

Enterprise Bar & Grill - Quaint Colorado venue in Rico - Pizza Near Me - Rico, Colorado

Such a cozy good bar!! Games and excellent food and drinks. Great service. An excellent find on our road trip. 10000% recommend.

My husband and I have sheen coming to The Enterprise in the summer for about 4 years now. The Enterprise is very casual and always friendly. We've always great food, great service, and great drinks. They have a full bar and recently added wine to the menu. It's a fun experience too because the restaurant has been in Rico since 1882. The place has a pool table and the new owner has added pinball machines and darts in the basement. He has also added several types of entertainment during the summer such as movie night, karaoke, and live music. There are a couple of large elk heads on either side of the bar and you're reminded of what Rico must have been like before 1900. A great place in a tiny mountain town! read more

I recently took some friends from out of town to The Enterprise, a spot that's been one of my favorite restaurants since I was a kid. I've made a lot of great memories there over the years, and I wanted my friends to experience that same charm. Unfortunately, the experience was far from acceptable. We ordered four meals: two Mineshaft burgers, a plain burger with nothing on it, and a bowl of chili. The Mineshaft burgers arrived fairly quickly--within about 20 minutes. However, the chili and plain burger took nearly an hour and a half to reach our table. During that time, servers repeatedly brought us food we hadn't ordered, clearly confusing our table with others nowhere near us. When we asked about the delay on the plain burger, we were told the cook had used the wrong bun. Even after that explanation, it took another 20 minutes before the burger finally arrived. After finishing our meal, we waited another 45 minutes for the check, only to eventually give up and go to the bar to ask for it directly. When we finally received the bill, it had several random charges for items we never ordered. Those had to be removed before we could pay and leave. Outside, we spoke with at least four other groups who shared the same frustration--waiting 45 minutes or more just to get their check, with similar issues surrounding their meals. It was honestly disheartening. This little bar and grill has always been a go-to spot for me whenever I come home, and it's sad to see the quality slip so far from what it once was. read more

I sincerely loved this place. Owner and employees make you feel right at home with the atmosphere and kindliness. Food was great too and the beer was cold! read more

Great hangout. Had a wonderful crispy chicken sandwich and a cold beer. Stu is a great host and his local crew was friendly. I highly recommend a stop at the enterprise in Rico. read more

Stopped on a whim for some food driving back from Mesa Verde. The gluten free pizza is phenomenal! It was so good that I had to double check if it was actually gluten free. Everything they make is made in house. The owner Stu came out and greeted us. There was an amazing band playing outside (The Blackwell Brothers). Everyone was very friendly. Great experience all around. read more

The best bar food in Rico! I had Lloyd's Crispy Chicken Sandwich twice this week. The fries were hot, the salad was beautiful and the chicken wings were delicious. The cooks did a great job during both of our visits. The service was great. read more

Was in town for the 4th of July and my favorite liquor store next door was closed for the day so we wanted into the Enterprise. Incredibly busy but considering the population of town was triple for the day they handled it all very well. Decent selection of taps and great Bloody Marys. Recommend Enterprise if you ever find yourself in Rico. read more

Enterprise Bar & Grill - They have great hats too! - Pizza Near Me - Rico, Colorado

We have eaten at this restaurant many times over the years. During Covid the people that were serving meals outside were always friendly and the food always good. We walked into the bar this evening July 1st after driving up from Cortez to order some food and some drinks. The two women working behind the bar saw us but never said a word. Neither of them said hi or I'll be with you in a minute. Nothing. We sat at the bat for 15-20 minutes. Not one word from the two women working the restaurant and bar. So after about 15-20 minutes we just left. Rudest service ever. Very unfriendly and unwelcoming. We will never go back. read more

The front page of the menu says '6th Oldest Bar in Colorado' This place sure has got a lot of history. Established during the mining era, this place still carries that old charm. The menu is also thoughtfully made. Typically an old bar like this usually carries sloppy, fried and fatty food but this apart from the comfort food also gives options for organic and gluten free food. They also have 6 draft beer taps of which 4 are from local brewery from Telluride. read more

Great atmosphere, bitchin PBRs. Can't beat the vibes. Slightly slanted pool table but the view of the kitchen makes up for it. No dessert after 8:30 and for all I know they might never serve desert. Taxidermy elk head almost in the way of billiards but we made it work. Wish I took a picture to show you all the smiles. read more

We stopped on our way from telluride to Mesa Verde. Very low expectations for this hole in the wall (with outside seating). Think again, I had one of the best burgers I have ever had!!!! read more

This place blew me away! Not what I expected that is a bar type place with fatty greasy hamburgers and pizza. Not the case at all!! I had the organic vegetable salad with grilled chicken. It was outstanding and fresh. My friend had the pulled pork barbeque plate which included beans corn and veggies. OMG super delicious and pork was lean. It was so good that we had to order one of each to go!! I also liked the stainless steel straws. read more

This place is great, truly great. But the website is not controlled by the current owners. It is old. And some of the previous reviews are weird. But if you want a nice stop near the river on the way to or back from Telluride this is a great stop. Food & drink are excellent. Brandy & Justin are great people and will make your visit worth the stop. Drop a dollar in their tip jar to fund their purchase for all of us. read more

Came over Ophir Pass at dinner time and we were starving! So thankful to come across this restaurant. Outdoor seating was perfect, heaters to stay warm, a fun dog to throw sticks to, and space for our kids to play in the dirt while we waited. Food was awesome! We got the Italian Grinder, burger, and pineapple pizza. Everything was delicious and thoughtfully prepared. Our kids especially loved the animal-shaped fries. read more

My husband and I came through Rico on a road trip through CO. We stayed at the mine shaft inn and this was the quaint little restaurant the owners recommended. We sat at the bar and had drinks/burgers. Very casual place to relax after a long day of driving. The burgers were probably a 7/10 but the bacon wrapped jalapeños were amazing!! If we are ever driving through again we will definitely come back by. read more

What a surprise. This little place really cares about what they put on your plate. All their dishes have that little extra with ingredients and flavor. Ordered the chicken sandwich.

Stopped here on the way home from spending the day in Telluride. Excellent food. Had the chicken sandwich and it was top notch. Salad was fresh as well. Would stop there anytime. read more

Randomly stopped here for breakfast while on a moto ride in the backcountry. The food here is nothing short of amazing, I was blown away by the biscuits and gravy. Everything was locally sourced and made from scratch with a hint of spice, dusted with chili powder, amazing gravy, fried egg and bread. Sounds simple, but it was seriously the best meal I've had in a long time. read more

Always a friendly staff. The food is very good and punctual. Several beers to choose from, along with a full bar. It's been a stopping place for decades, but with Brandy and Justin at the helm over the last several years, it's gotten even better. Enjoy read more

Driving home from a great day at Mesa Verde, bumped into Rico, never been before. Looking for some good eats for a nice little dinner. Looked like the perfect spot. I ordered the Chicken Bacon Ranch sandwich and fries, also ordered a jalapeno popper for a side. Started playing a game of pool with my friends, but the people at the bar kept bumping into us, leaning on the pool table and just being inconsiderate of our game. Our food took forever to come out and I never received the Jalapeno popper. The chicken was very burnt and hard and ranch dressing was oozing out of the sandwich making it a horrible mess. My girlfriend ordered a black bean burger with nothing on it except mushrooms. It came with everything on it. The waitress never came back to our table, never asked how everything was, we never received any refills for our drinks. We sat at our table for a very long time watching the waitress and the bar tender take shots and get drunk. We finally went to the bar, and had to push our way past the customers that were destroying our game of pool to ask for the bill. Our waitress looked over at us and just walked on by back to the kitchen and had a discussion with the cook. She continued to ignore us and I finally asked for the bill. She finally came over and I told her to make sure we weren't charged for the Jalapeno popper. She couldn't even remember me ordering one. We paid the bill and I went outside. My girlfriend had to use the restroom so I waited outside in front of the restaurant. The bar tender was pretty much passed out on a table on the patio. She was lying on it and mumbling about the end of the world or something of the sort. This place was comical, it was hands down the worst service I have ever received. We left a small tip because I don't believe in not leaving anything, but dang...they should have tipped us for having to go through this crap. Next day my stomach was cramping so bad, I felt like I was going to explode. It hurt so bad. Horrible experience, save yourself the pain and stay far, far away from The Enterprise Bar and Grill. read more

Absolutely love the veggie burger! Great food nice people,the bar has great character and small town charm.

Unfortunately, I wish we could give it more stars but, we just didn't have a very good experience here. We ordered the prime rib and honestly it was cold and just plain terrible. Our waitress was much more interested in conversing with the locals at the bar than paying much attention to us. The cook had to come out to remind her to serve our food - hence the COLD prime rib...... I wouldn't get too excited about going back to this particular establishment. read more
