Do you know what I hate? When I arrange childcare and then I go on an extremely rare night out with…read moremy husband, only to eat food of uninspired quality which fills my belly, but leaves me upset about how much I spent for a Cracker Barrel-esque experience. For these reasons, and for the fact that this has been my experience in the past, oh, 10 times I've tried, I had given up. This morning, my husband suggested that we eat at a restaurant alone, together. Now, maybe your life is much more exciting than mine, but this is pretty out there for a weekday night for our family. I reluctantly agreed and we went to 1880 for dinner. As soon as we walked in the door, the beautiful hostess/server, Val, gave us an award-winning smile and seated us promptly. We started ordering food and drinks and out comes one fantastic thing after another. We had the grilled feta and the masa pockets for starters. The feta was, as all the other reviewers have mentioned, wonderful . But the MASA pockets. THE MASA POCKETS!!! These things tasted like Jackie Chan kicked a bag of Fritos in the face, sprinkled fairy dust and unicorn horns on it, and then put it on a plate for me. It came two to an order and I think I could've eaten 77. Unbelievably delicious. So I'm thinking, maybe this is gonna go OK. Then we shared a toro smash burger and a squid ink pasta. The burger had to be the best burger I have ever eaten in my life and, y'all, I eat a lot of burgers. I am a burger aficionado. I'm one of those crazy people that drives across the country to eat at top-rated burger joints. Anyway, that burger truly has ruined burgers for me (I promptly told all my young'ns that I've got to take them to eat the best burger I've ever eaten- pronto). And the squid ink pasta, wow. It had so much going on that I felt like it was the equivalent of leopard print and pearls. I have no idea how this is all working together, but somehow it's magic. All in all, I want to thank l Val and the whole staff at 1880. You all have restored my faith in restaurants. We'll be back- save us a table.

This was our second time coming here and we so want to love it but have left somewhat disappointed…read moreboth times. The corn dogs were slightly burnt (in our opinion) but the flavor was very good, we would order again. However I think the chips are a miss....just serve them without them and charge a little less in my opinion, they aren't needed. We liked both sauces. The potatoes we originally ordered with the fried egg but the server forgot (she was very apologetic) and got one out to us after a few mins. The egg honestly did nothing to the dish. We wish the potatoes were crispier for sure but the garlic aoli was good. However, we prob wouldn't order it again. The masa cakes were good, I would order again but nothing mind blowing. Overall it was just ok. I think what kind of set our decision to probably not return is the fact that a table near us had asked the server something (we aren't exactly sure what) and she took their dish back and then proceeded to talk crap about them in the server/kitchen area. My husband said the table didn't hear her but I don't know how they didn't as she was talking very loudly about how "my tables are so annoying today! The things people ask for are crazy" (etc) and it made me really uncomfortable. I used to be a server and can understand frustrations with customers but it was unprofessional to talk crap about them when other customers can hear.

What a great place!…read more My boyfriend and I were driving through Gunnison and found this gem! These organic, fresh, and flavorful sandwiches were perfect for lunch. I got the Firebrand Sandwich, a classic turkey, avocado, onion, lettuce, tomato, swiss, but with their house-made cumin aioli. Super tasty flavor. My boyfriend got the Cowboy Charlie, a sandwich with bacon, pepper jack cheese, tomato, and green chilis. He LOVED it! We both got lavender lemonades and I even got a fresh peach! The service was also great. The peron taking order was very kind and patient as we decided what we wanted. The vibes in the restaurant were also fun. A diner energy but make it more free spirited and organic. Lol. This is a place we will definitely come back to on our next trip through Gunnison.

There's a bar upstairs with ample seating inside and out on their deck which over looks the Main Street and sidewalk. They also have a pool table and a few tv's with sports on. It has a laidback vibe upstairs. The servers I had on both nights were girls and kept watch on glasses to be refilled and then to check if there was anything needed. I enjoyed a prime rib steak on a Friday and then on Sunday I had the Alfredo with chicken. Both dishes were cooked well and flavorful as you'd expect. I've read a lot of reviews and I could see when things get busy the servers could start to lose their attention to all the tables they are over. The kitchen from what I've seen was consistently putting out good food. The only complaint I have and it's aimed at the owners is why do you charge/force a 3.5% fee/extortion on each bill/check to your customers... it's not Las Vegas and that's the only place where I've seen it constantly pushed, however in Las Vegas you can request it be removed and it is. Your establishment does give discounted options- like on debit cards you give a demand a smaller fee - to be totally fee free of demands/extortion you must pay cash...

Solid service there. Once we were seated, the waitress was friendly, attentive, and very good with recommendations. The trophies on the walls give the place a very western feel. The steak lives up to the hype. Mine was a sirloin, and it was aged well, cooked to perfection, and absolutely seasoned to perfection. I got mushrooms on the side, and it's great to see a place that serves mushrooms without onions, since I don't like onions. My wife got the burrata appetizer as a meal and raved about it the entire time. I'd go here again. In fact, I'd make this a regular rotation stop if I lived there.

There was a single server managing the bar, all new customers and our 8 top!

I saw some previous reviews saying the food and rice were bland and that was not the case! The whole table actually complemented the rice. The shrimp taco was awesome (big shrimp not like those standard small ones) and the folks I was with loved the Zarepas(sp?). The chips and salsa were great too!

They are literally making it when you order. And they're using fresh ingredients. Don't believe me? You can watch them cook your order from our seats at the bar. So, yeah, I promise. Meanwhile, their chips and salsa will keep you busy (fresh, spicy and also one of my favs in a long while too). You can tell a lot by a place's salsa, IMO. The salsa here is house made, daily, I bet, which already tells you a lot. Made daily. Yum. Ok, literally my dude took two bites and made a wish that we could transported these folks to our neck of the woods. I was surprised really, until I had a bite of my spinach enchiladas. Fresh. Well seasoned. Cooked just right (aka, the spinach wasn't slimy, lol). Sooooo very good. Staff were amazing, laid back and super courteous. If we do nothing else when we pass through Gunnison, we will be stopping back by here!
