The Roma is my favorite wood fire pizza: Marinara, Artichoke Hearts, Kalamata Olives, Roasted Garlic, Capers, Mozzarella, and Fresh Oregano! YUM!

It's always incredible service. And the vibe is so laid back but clean and inviting. You must eat here if you come through Salida.

Plenty of toppings, right amount of sauce and perfect crunch on the crust. We also shared a bowl of potato soup, soup of the day. Which came out pipping hot. Very clean and friendly staff. We always enjoy when we go to Salida. We own a salsa business, Lynda Sue's Salsa. We left a couple of jars for the staff to try. You can find our salsa at the LaGree's in Pueblo, Poncha Springs and Buena Vista. lsksalsa@gmail.com

Very consistent in all aspects of a restaurant; food taste, presentation and speed. The service is good. Although you order at the counter like a fast food place they bring the food out to your table. There is plenty of seating. The restaurant is always clean and inviting. Salida is a small town compared to many places in Colorado. So the competition may not be as much as say if they were in Denver but if they were there they would still shine because they're just that good. The burgers are very tasty, the fries are great, a large fry will feed two people easily. The shakes are really good. Just like in the past they come out with a full glass plus the remainder of shake in the stainless mixing cup. It's well worth the stop if you're in town and hungry.

We ordered the Yardbird (fried chicken sandwich - perfectly crispy, juicy, generous piece of chicken, perfectly buttered toasted bun, decent house made pickles), Big Zach (great char taste on the burger), garlic rosemary fries (STAR of the show, lots of fresh garlic - including full cloves, which were surprising but yummy, perfect amount of rosemary), a root beer float and a banana shake. Highlights: excellent fried chicken, char taste burgers, garlic rosemary fries, fresh and generous shakes (share with a friend!). Will be back during my next long stay in Salida!

Bonfire burger, BBQ Ranch Fries, and a soft drink.

I had the hot dog " The All American " topped with ketchup, yellow mustard, relish, diced onions and served in a soft, warm bakery bun with drink and onion rings. The touch scree wouldn't let me pay via credit card as it was an option and screen froze several times. Order was placed.

Later the car hop came out with our order. Said she was new and didn't know the order sitting there who it belonged to so she let it set. She said the meal was on her, which was nice but we were still missing the fries. So much for sonics visits. The food was good; just lacking some customer service work!

The service was as impressive as the food. Every staff member we interacted with was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely kind. Even with the morning rush, they kept things moving smoothly and made us feel appreciated as customers. It's easy to see why people were lined up before they opened.

I passed the loaf around to everyone at my table and we all really liked it. I also got a cute little mason jar for my drink which is so cool. The eatery is inside a little shop so the vibe is very granola in the best way. It smells incredible inside. The staff is also so incredibly nice and gave me several recommendations and made it all seem like incredible options. The price point is high, but i'm learning that's just Colorado in general. I had no issue spending my money here.
