Avuncular Bob's T-Bar Inn is one of those magical local "hole in the wall" joints that EVERY little…read moretown in America needs! Tucked away in the tiny burg of Wellington, Colorado, just south of the Wyoming border, Bob's is a terrific place to grab a simple, yet super tasty, breakfast, lunch or dinner, surrounded by rustic American farm decor and original 1800's hand tools on all the walls. And, with a full bar, you can just belly-up and feel like stepping back to a more simple time in America when we had far fewer frills and nonsense. The food is best described as "grub", all delicious and well made. Their burgers, fries & onion rings are HIGHLY recommended! And, service was TOP NOTCH, fast, clean and courteous! Check out my photos and you'll be hungry for a visit to Avuncular Bob's!!!

I had breakfast at the T-Bar today which I was really looking forward to. I ordered a half order of…read morebiscuits & gravy which comes with hash browns and added 2 over medium eggs. My eggs were barely cooked over easy when they should have been medium. The worst thing were the biscuits & gravy. I don't know when they were made however they were dry and hard, inedible. The gravy had no flavor & did nothing to soften the biscuits. My friend ordered a French toast mini breakfast which she said was ok. There aren't many breakfast choices in Wellington and it's really sad when the only option is so disappointing!

Finally got around to checking this place out and glad to have found it…read more We ordered; 2 house salads -there's a lot of toppings on the salad and the homemade ranch is really good. Would order again! Meatball Sub - the meatballs are really flavorful and tasty and the sandwich had a lot of toppings. The bread was good too! I would say get a side of extra marinara or order with extra, but I would get this again. The House Calzone - the flavor was good and there was a lot of toppings inside, however, the breading was super thin, about as thin as the pepperoni. Would love to see it a little more bread-y. The inside is definitely hot and small. There's only two small tables and two picnic tables out front. The staff were friendly! We will definitely be back and order some pizzas next time.

Just moved to this side of town and stopped in for dinner…read more Great options on the menu. It's a smaller place, but we only waited about 5 minutes for a table to open up during dinner time on a Friday, it was definitely busy. Service was great, we were greeted promptly and everything came out great. We ordered; French onion soup - it was good and would order again. Chicken tenders and fries - pretty standard and would order again. However, ordered ranch and mild buffalo on the side and the buffalo sauce was so sweet, not tangy or even mildly spicy and they do charge $1 extra for sauce. Definitely will not order that again. And we also had the red chili cheese burger and it was pretty good! The chili was yummy and would order again Overall a nice spot in town to go to and we are glad it's here.

Excellent Food and Service in a Very Busy Estes Park Favorite…read more Executive Summary: A fantastic dinner with fresh, well-executed dishes, strong cocktails, and outstanding service. Easily a 5-star experience and highly recommended. We booked a 6:00 p.m. Sunday reservation through Resy and were seated immediately. The restaurant was very busy, which felt like a good sign. One thing to note: parking is VERY difficult. You may need to park kitty-corner at the grocery store lot and walk across. We started with the Beets & Bibb salad, which was outstanding--fresh, thinly sliced crunchy beets, crisp dried chickpeas for texture, grapes for sweetness, and a honey vinaigrette with just enough acidity to balance everything. The cornbread arrived warm and freshly baked with black garlic butter. It was light rather than dense and very enjoyable. For an entrée, the Carnivore was excellent. Both the elk and petite filet had a beautiful sear and were cooked perfectly to temperature, accompanied by a flavorful reduction and seared broccolini. Our second entrée was the trout with a side petite filet. The fish was well seasoned and cooked perfectly. By the end of dinner we were far too full to try the desserts, although they looked tempting. We also had a couple of cocktails--strong, flavorful pours. Our server, Ian, was friendly, efficient, and attentive throughout the evening. Excellent service despite how busy the restaurant was. Overall, Bird & Jim delivered great food, great drinks, and great service. Highly recommended--5 stars.

The cocktails are always spectacular and creative. We love the trio of spreads, smoked trout, pimento cheese and hummus. Bring your wallet and be prepared for the significant price tag.

Made the 25 minute drive to find a sign in the window that they're closed for the week. There was ZERO voicemail. How simple would it have been to note the closure on a voicemail box message?

Curious as both have stellar reputations ...

The options are literally endless here. For my salad I got a mixture of greens and quinoa, for my toppings I got baked broccoli, sprouts, egg, chicken, chick peas and a few other things just so much to list. To top off I got some crispy Parmesan to go with it and let me just say my salad was perfect. I did get just regular ranch but they have so many dressings to choose from. The price is definitely reasonable for what all you get and the inside of the place was neat and clean along with a lot of white lol. I truly enjoyed this place and plan to go back many more times. The service was also amazing. Everyone was so friendly and I was greeted as soon as I came in.

A Must-Stop Mountain Gateway -- The Forks Mercantile Has It All…read more If you've driven up 287 north of Fort Collins, you've seen The Forks -- the last real stop for food, fuel, and essentials before heading west on Highway 14 to Red Feather or north toward Wyoming. And it's absolutely worth the stop. Here's what's to love: * 24-hour gas station -- a lifesaver for late-night or early-morning mountain runs. * Adorable historic building with classic Colorado charm and a welcoming covered porch. * A well-stocked general store offering all the essentials: Tylenol, laundry detergent, snacks, basic groceries, and more. * A fantastic gift shop featuring items from local artisans -- books, jewelry, crafts, and unique Colorado-made goods you won't find at big-box stores. * Great coffee options and a surprisingly excellent sandwich counter downstairs. * A full restaurant and bar upstairs, where the food is delicious and the staff is warm, friendly, and attentive. The atmosphere is vintage, cozy, and authentically Colorado -- the kind of place locals rely on and travelers instantly love. Highly recommended as your go-to stop on the way to the mountains.

The environment just seems so warm and inviting. We called ahead of time to make sure there was no live music for my hard of hearing grandma and they were very sweet. Their card machine went down while we were there and I spoke with the owner while she was trying to fix it and I could really tell how much love she pours into this shop. She was so apologetic and talked about how stressed she was. She was very helpful and I appreciated how helpful she was especially when my grandma asked about a niche tea.

The waitress was name Joe Joe (I hope that I spelled her name right.) was very nice and kind to us. I was very surprised of how nice those workers were when the restaurant was about to close. We came there around 10:45 PM, and I was expecting that lady will tell us than" we're almost close and we won't be able to take your order (Because that's what most of the places would tell us). However, our waitress was so nice and kind that she took us in. She make sure that we had everything on our plate. I barely see people like that in my life. She took care of us like she would take over of her own. We have ordered 18 ounces steak. They have a salad bar so you can get as much talent as you want with your steak or whatever you will order. Your order comes with a side of whatever you would like I pick vegetables. I would highly recommend to visit this place.
