    Our first meal upon arrival to Manitou Springs! We were hungry and thirsty due to a long day of travel. We split a chicken sandwich and I had the apple cider. The NFL game was playing but unfortunately no sound. I had a couple of the ciders which was refreshing! Appreciated the meal and great service!

    Plain white Mac and cheese

    We were in town and looking for good beer and dinner. Stopped by and while outside seating was full, we were able to grab a table inside immediately. Our server was super helpful, patient and answered multiple questions. She was a bright spot! The Manitou Burger with cheese was good. It came with chips which were nice but I wish they had fries. Love all the sauces came on the side. My daughter ordered the plain white Mac and Cheese and while I liked it, she didn't like it all. It was too different of a flavor to make this work for most kids. The nachos are huge and queso was delicious. Enjoyed the beer. We wanted to sit outside but it was full. Inside was nice but the music was just way too loud for a decent table conversation. Pro Tip: no kids menu. Server said most kids order plain burger with cheese or plain Mac and cheese or the street tacos plain.

    MLK weekend, late to lunch, too early for dinner. Here we are on one cold January day but super hungry, ready to eat a cow! Burger and beer specials are cheaper than Burger with coke. All of us were hungry after all day hiking and it is unfair to say how delicious our food was. We were so hungry, ready to eat the legs of the table. Haha Service was prompt, food came out as expected for our larger group. We were checked often and bills split perfectly. Thank you staff and see you on my hike megathon!

    Another cool spot in manitou springs. Nice patio. Prepare for it to be super busy no matter the day so it can get pretty crowded. Service was amazing & super fast. None of the beers blew me away but they were all good!

    My baby bro and I liked the nice vibe indoors.

    We had a fun time here on our visit to Manitou Springs. Small area inside, but our party of five were seated right away on a Wednesday afternoon. Great playlist, super cool servers, and a delicious offering of food, including wings, fries, sandwiches and possibly the best baked pretzel bites I have ever tried! The strawberry milkshake and dry cider were my favorite beverages. Good IPA offerings too. We liked the pretzels so much, we ordered a second round, but lastly tried the savory version with honey drizzle. Clean and spacious unisex restrooms available for customers and dog friendly outside patio seating.

    We went there in mid August. Came in on a Wednesday afternoon before 5, not too busy. You sit yourself. they have indoor and outdoor Seating. Staff are nice, gave us recommendations and answered all questions we had. Food was good, served fast.

    Queso Traditional Pretzel Bites
    Shelby A.

    This was an awesome brewery located right on the Main Street and had ample indoor and outdoor seating. We opted to sit inside as it was a bit colder and less fresh. Their swimming in strawberries nitro blonde is very delicious and I highly recommend it. It's a different style of beer than I'm usually a fan of but it was so light and easy to drink. We ordered some wings and traditional pretzels bites as a quick snack. The pretzel bites are phenomenal and pair great with their jalapeño queso dip. The Cajun dry rub wings were also great. The chicken itself was crisp on the outside and moist and tender inside. The rub had a great salty and sweet and kick to it in flavor. Service was a bit slower as it seemed they only had one person behind the bar and two people floating taking orders. But it was good service nonetheless.

    Veggie bleu bliss salad with chicken

    It was a beautiful evening and we wanted to sit outside and enjoy a beer and some dinner. We ended up at Manitou Brewing. The patio is along the side of the building so there is no people watching. That's ok. We were waited on immediately and had beers in hand in less than 5 minutes. I had the beer brat while my husband had the veggie bleu bliss salad. Absolutely no doubt that the brat was braised in beer. It was definitely heavy on the bread, a little light on toppings but it was still good. The slaw left something to be desired though the option of chips was a cop out for a side. My husband did enjoy his salad. Would we be back? Definitely for a beer, doubtful for a meal.

    Sat on the patio with family after some sight seeing around town. Service was prompt, food was good and the atmosphere was very relaxing. Waitress went above and beyond with attention.

    Incline burger

    We stayed in Manitou Springs right next to this restaurant. Every day we could smell the delicious aromas from our balcony. Finally we gave in and walked over for a burger and a beer. We were not disappointed. This was THE BEST burger I ever had. It was cooked a perfect medium and melted in your mouth. The salad was amazing too. It was fresh, crisp, and there was no iceberg. (I hate iceberg). Staff was fun and informative about the local area. When I come back to this area I will be eating here again.

    Incline burger home pickles and flight

    Every time we come the staff is so nice (no matter how busy they are and trust me they're busy A LOT)and the food is amazing, fresh and with good portions. Shoutout Megan Sam Meredith and Chelsea. Don't skip the truffle fries and get a flight if you can. They make a lot of small Batch beers so there is a good chance you might miss the flavor next time. Chill casual environment 10/10 recommend.

    We stopped here for lunch after browsing all the towns little shops. We started out with the hummus and pita with vegetables. It was so good we had to order more. I had a grilled chicken sandwich with Swiss cheese. So good! Lots of craft brews. Our server was great with the suggestions too because I'm not a craft beer aficionado. Perfect light craft beer with my sandwich!

    Incline Burger with truffle fries

    Second time here without the dog, so we again sat inside on a busy Saturday afternoon. Lots of dark beers, so we got the flight to start. Our flight included: * A-Frame Amber Ale * Pumpkin Ale * Nightbird Porter * Burro Barn Brown Ale * Irish Nitro Stout My wife liked the Amber but didn't care for any of the others. I liked the Pumpkin Ale and Porter the best. The Brown Ale was fine, and the Amber was ok too. Didn't like the Irish nitro stout. Last time we were here, we both really liked the quinoa burger. Sad it's not on the menu anymore, we had to pivot and ended up with regular burgers. I had the Incline Burger, while my wife had the MBC Burger. We both enjoyed the burgers and fries. I went with the truffle fries, which were yummy. Service was certainly prompt enough, but she seemed rushed while helping us, so we felt a little rushed and stressed while she waited for us to order or answer her questions. I'm sure we'll be back next time we're in Manitou.

    I've seen that it's dog friendly; is it?

    Our patio is dog friendly. Since we serve food, due to health department code, only licensed service animals are allowed inside the restaurant.

    I was in town visiting and needed a casual spot to get dinner with family. They suggested this…read morespot, and their bacon Macon & cheese with the elk chili add-in immediately caught my eye! Everything sounded great but this stuff was LEGIT! They don't skimp on portions, either! Chelsea was an amazing server and she knew my family as regulars! The restaurant was overall cozy, neat, and clean, and is a great spot to also enjoy some beverages! Adding Thunder and Buttons to my list of go-tos next time when I'm in town, and though I'd love to venture more into the menu...this is just too good not to order next time! (but maybe I can also squeeze in a dessert next time too:)

    I had this place bookmarked for a while , and was finally in the neighborhood! And what a cute…read moreneighborhood? A re- gentrified and artsy downtown enclave with paid parking at $2 for two hours . Meeting my buddy here for a fun girls day lunch was a good choice ! . We felt very welcomed and not rushed which we appreciated. Appetizer of "boudin balls " was absolutely unique !4 big cheese & rice & sausage deep fried balls I'm a bed a savory dark gravy/sauce . I could only compare it to a casserole gone snack size ? Not unpleasant just unexpected. For my main I was so tempted by another "appetizer" , that after the waitrons glowing recommendation I had to go for the soy glazed grilled Brussels sprouts . They were everything promised . A bowl of ELK CHILI was the perfect accompaniment. My gal pal ordered the "most popular " fish and chips " and declared it was the best fried cod she'd found since her Alaska vacation. There were other intriguing menu choices , especially the wild game options , so I will certainly revisit this unique and welcoming restaurant!
