We've made it a tradition to stop at Maggie's Kitchen every time we're in Ouray, and this visit was just as amazing as all the others! This time I ordered the elk burger with fries, and oh my goodness... hands down the BEST burger we've ever had. It was incredibly juicy, packed with flavor, and cooked perfectly. The fries were fresh, hot, and delicious too. The atmosphere is one of our favorite things about Maggie's. It's so laid-back and welcoming. We always love leaving our mark by signing the tables, and this visit we enjoyed sitting on the front porch on a cool summer evening it couldn't have been more perfect!!!! If you're visiting Ouray, Maggie's Kitchen is an absolute must-stop. Great food, great atmosphere, and a place we'll keep coming back to every single trip! read more

This place really does have delicious burgers! We had an elk burger with coleslaw, as well as a green chili cheeseburger with French fries. Both burgers were large and had amazing flavor. The green chili burger reminded me of one of my favorite burgers I've ever eaten, in New Mexico a few years ago. It really hit the spot, and the French fries that came with it were also really great. The counter service was quick, friendly, and no-frills. The food also came out decently quickly and the toppings and condiment bar was really nice. We sat outside and had a beautiful view of Main Street and the mountains while we ate. We will definitely be back! read more

Who doesn't enjoy a good greasy burger? Or onion rings? THIS is the place to make it happen. A group of 12 of us graced Ouray with our presence for a friend-cation. Food is challenging in a smaller town but Maggie's made it happen. This was a fun spot to run upon. The signatured walls + great menu offered great options for everyone. The tables ranged from large to small so we were all able to hang and eat. The location is central Ouray and plenty of street parking nearby. Touristy vibe but that isn't a bad thing. Food was solid. You get exactly what you expect. The prices were fair. The staff was friendly and accommodating. We had a grea time. If you are in Ouray, make it a point to stop-by - this is obviously a staple of their lovely little town and deserves to be supported! read more

Patty melt was 10/10, service was awesome. Right next to a brewery & you can see the mountains on the patio too.

Every time I visit Ouray, I always stop at Maggie's kitchen for a burger and fries. This time I got the blu cheese burger and fries and a drink. Their burgers are awesome, cooked to order, and the fries are good home cut style-thick fries. Of course the pricing is high, but everything is in Ouray. Expect to pay Around $20 per meal plus tip in Ouray for breakfast and lunch and much higher for dinner. The ambience is nice, busy and loud indoors, nice and relaxing outdoors on their patio that faces Main Street. I highly recommend, I saw a review on here saying they automatically added a large tip, I haven't verified if they did that to me but will for sure. It's self serve, you order your burger at the window inside, get your drink, pick up your order when they call your name. Also there's a burger bar area where you can add condiments, pickles, onions etc if needed. Their selection of creative burgers is fun and covers all the bases. If you stop in this town, you e got to try this place at least once. You won't be disappointed. read more

We were visiting our son and his fiancée in Durango and drove up to Ouray for the afternoon. Maggie's Kitchen is apparently very popular, as evidenced by the crowd. We were fortunate enough to score a table; there is both inside and outside table seating, including down on the sidewalk, and counter style outside wood seating. You order your food and then bring it back to your table. They specialize in burgers, and we all had different ones. They were good and the fries were good also. Next door to the restaurant is the bar where beer is ordered. Kind of weird but the older guy serving made us wait a good five minutes or more while he counted his cash, and took longer than usual to pour three beers, in what looked like 12 oz mugs, for $8 a piece. Calling him Chuckles is being ironic. Ouray is beautiful and fun, and we're glad we came, and happy we tried Maggie's. read more

It was so yummy. My husband and I both got the Hayden's 420 burger and laughed our heads off when we saw how big it was. It was delicious. read more

We Go to this place at least once every time we visit. The burgers are always great, the staff is always friendly and the environment is unique. We always recommend this business to friends who are in the area or going to be staying there. The owner is a really great guy and has built a local icon for burgers. read more

Very disappointed in this local business. I went there today, ordered two cheeseburgers, fries, onion rings and a drink. $37 including tax. Fair enough for a local business. Now I'm back home and noticed this no service , 'call your name to pick up yourself' restaurant automatically gave themselves a $9.50 tip on my Apple Card. Automatically! Never asked. Never disclosed. They just gave themselves a 30% tip. We are a tourist community. We depend on local businesses to be ethical. The fact that they did this to a local is I guess doubly galling. But really...Maggie's do better. Shame on you. P.O. Box 371. read more

This was the best hamburger I've ever had in my entire life. Good size, quality meat, cooked to perfection. I'm dreaming about going back to Ouray just for this! Service is pretty simple, you go to the counter and place your order and wait for them to call your name. Then you head to a table of your choice and enjoy. Ambience - It looks like a dive inside with lots of writing all over the walls, seems to be a trendy thing to do for anyone visiting. Don't let that deter you this place is the best. read more

Came here based on reviews! It didn't disappoint! All items included fries or coleslaw. And they were very generous with the fries! We got a cheeseburger and a brat. Both were fantastic! How they can offer food for so cheap in a tourist town, I have no idea. Do yourself a favor and just go!! read more

We stopped on our way through. A cute town with good parking on side streets if you can't find it on the street. There is a good variety of sandwiches and hamburgers. Onion rings are on point. Plenty of seating. Whether you want to sit inside or outside. We sat outside so we can ppl watch too. Inside they have the fixings bar in front of the window. read more

We loved our lunch at Maggie's Kitchen so much that we came back the next day for lunch again. I had the hamburger and fries both days and my wife had pulled pork sandwich and cole slaw the first day and the grilled chicken sandwich and slaw the 2nd day. This place is crowded and the large tables and front porch pushed community! We sat on the porch both days and enjoyed watching the world go by! I don't think you'll be sorry if you stop by and give them a try! read more

Maggie's is an awesome small town burger stop. The value is the best in the area. The choices of burgers make it the best place for a family to stop. There are choices for everyone. The fries are hand hand cut and Fresh. They regularly win awards for their amazing onion rings. Service is always fast and friendly, even when the line is out the door and down the street. It's worth the wait. Grab a marker and sign your name on a wall, the ceiling, or a door. It's a fun place to stop in with friends when headed out to the trails. One small secret: When they have donuts available grab one or a dozen! You wouldn't generally think of a burger place as having good donuts but this is that place. So good! read more

Big burgers with lots of options. Line moves quickly. There's extra seating outside in back. Best burger after a long hike! Can't wait to come back after they re-open in May! read more

We ate lunch here yesterday! The food was overall pretty good, with a couple misses. The BBQ burger was HUGE! My son said he'd have to dislocate his jaw to get his mouth around it! The fries were similar to Five Guys, which is a very good thing! The coleslaw was exceptional as well. I love good coleslaw, and I am usually disappointed by what accompanies sandwiches at most restaurants. What could have been better: the onion rings were so close to being very good! The breading on them was light. They need to use SWEET onions and add a little more salt to the breading, and the onion rings would be stellar. The chicken fried steak was mid. My daughter said the white gravy on the steak tasted like the Pioneer country gravy mix you buy at the store. We did not care for the decor of the inside of the restaurant. There was handwriting scribbles all over the tables, walls, ceiling--everywhere. It just made the restaurant feel a little grimy. In spite of the criticisms, I will return on a future visit to Ouray! read more

They totally screwed up our order with only two out of three orders correct but we would totally still recommend the place because the burgers were that good. I ordered our food to go and counted the items, so that much was right, but 3 of the burgers weren't what we ordered, we all laughed and just enjoyed our great food, super fast too! read more

This is a must-stop if you're staying or driving by. Located right off Main Street, grab the first parking space since lunch time is prime tourist time. This place looks small but there is seating outside and upstairs which has covered picnic table area. The burgers are truly unbelievable and cooked to your preference right on the spot. The wait time from when you order and when it comes out of the kitchen is 5-6 minutes so grab a seat and wait for your name to be screamed....they really do scream your name. The condiments are located near the front door so you can make it to your liking. I'll bring some sharpies the next time so I can leave my mark on the wall. read more

Wife and I took a walk looking for dinner while staying in Ouray. This place had a nice porch out front that looked like a great place to relax and have some food and drinks. We were not disappointed! We both ordered the Hayden's 420, whoops! There was so much food! The burgers were delicious, and the mountain of onion rings were okay, fries were great! read more

Pretty hole in the wall experience with excellent and fresh burgers. Good service even though it was extremely crowded. I recommend the Serrano bacon cheeseburger. About medium heat with good flavor. read more

Best hamburger I've had in a long time! Maggies has counter service, and isn't big on ambiance, but the food more than makes up for that. I had a Mushroom Cheeseburger and it was moist and flavorful. My wife's Reuben was so big she took half of it home. The staff was terrific too. I went to the counter and asked if they has something I could use to wrap her leftover. The young woman pointed to the self-service counter where they had a whole stack of foil-backed paper more than large enough to use. Perfect. They have booths and tables large enough for groups, too. Or you can eat on their covered porch and watch the tourists go by. read more

Great burgers. Great service. Fun interior! Definitely worth a stop here. There is also a brewery next door for tasty beers.

Maggie's Kitchen appears to be a staple in Ouray, Colorado. It is a burger and fries haunt. They are not fancy but really know how to make a great and flavorful burger. We have stopped here multiple times and have never been disappointed with the burgers. The line was long but moved well. The menu is chalked on the wall and they have dogs, chicken, rubens, venison burgers and the pile of onion rings that will feed a family of five easily. The burgers are the star. We ordered the burger with swiss cheese, grilled onions and mushrooms. The burgers are accompanied with a side of french fries. The fries were fair, a bit soggy and lacking salt. I wanted an order of rings but after seeing the size, I realized it was to much. The star was the burger, no surprise. The grilled onions with mushrooms and cheese was perfect. I needed a handful of napkins as it was juicy, NOT GREASY! Two things we noticed. You need a trash can on the porch so you don't have to fight through the crowd to bus your trash. I also think you could cut back on your portion size as we noted just how much food customers were throwing away as it was to much food. The atmosphere is loud, crowded and a great vibe. It is hard to have a quiet conversation here, but smiles are abundant. To make the experience better, take a seat on the front porch. You can enjoy a great burger and watching people strolling down the sidewalks. read more

The fries were just right. Def a place to stop. We ate on the porch in the shade. Cool Nice crowd. Lots of locals. read more

What a great find, totally stumbled on the place after being rudely told pets were never allowed at Ouray Brewery (but they were at one time). Saw the signs on the front window that they were voted Best Hamburger several years in a row, so they have a lot to live up to. Dang they deserve that award. Really one of the best hamburgers I've ever had. Seasoned perfectly, over a grill I think as it had some smoky flavor, the Serrano chile pepper was great as was the amount of bacon! The fries were fresh cut and seasoned and fried perfectly. Seems like a family run restaurant with staff always buzzing about cleaning tables and taking care of customers. It's an order at the front type of place and then they call out your name and it was surprisingly quick. You put your own condiments on and take a seat indoors or outdoors. The outdoors is dog/pet friendly and it's right next door to Mr. Grumpy Pants Brewing which has a very small but excellent selection of beer. My only suggestion is at the soda machine where you can get water, there's a sign there that says the water from the soda machine is for humans only, and if you want water for your dogs, go to the bathroom to fill up. That really struck me the wrong way, and I hope they take that down as it can't really be that much of a cost to provide cold and filtered water for a handful of dogs that come through daily. It's just not worth pissing off a customer like me. Had I seen that first, I probably would not have chosen to eat here, which is a shame because I would miss out on that tasty burger and fries. There's just no need to be that anal about which being gets to drink water from the soda machine. I want to give this place 5 stars but that is such an unfriendly unwelcoming sign. Even if I didn't have my dog with me, it rubs me the wrong way.. Please consider just removing that sign. read more
