I paired it with the sweet potato fries and spicy ranch and I'm going to get that combo everytime I come here now. Don't walk, RUNNNNNNN to get this burger.

Necessities for post-hike recovery: beer and burgers. So naturally after a hike in the Boulder area…read moremy hiking companion and I made our way to Upslope Brewing, home of The Mighty Burger, to do just that! ++ After browsing the limited, but drool-worthy menu, I knew that The Bacon Mighty was just what I was craving. I mean a post-hike burger loaded with bacon, lettuce, tomato, onion, avocado, and cheddar cheese - what could possibly be better. Nothing, absolutely nothing. ++ There's a variety of ways to further customize your meal, whether it be adding toppings, sauces, or swapping out the grass-fed beef patty for a chicken or veggie patty. ++ Did I mention they offer up some additional specials to add a little something different from time to time? Love that! ++ They needed to whip up more of their chipotle mayo, so I was already planning on foregoing sampling it with my meal when the server brought out a cup for us. YUM! It was just what my sweet potato fries needed. -- The only drawback we experienced was brief uncertainty over whether they were actually going to be open during our visit. Sounds like the hours may fluctuate a bit from day to day. Not what our grumbling bellies were wanting to hear. So glad that ended up not being the case. The Mighty Burger definitely checked my burger-craving boxes. I'll gladly make my way back when in Boulder.

Surprisingly, this was a fairly well stocked full service grocery store, with wide aisles and a good selection. Mind you, it's not whole foods, but they do very well for such a small town. The meat selection is good, the variety of staples (both food and non-food grocery items) substantial. That said, there were some things that were lacking -- notably the produce department which had less variety than I would have liked (but then again, I'm from the west coast where fresh fruits and veggies are far easier to come by -- I find in general that Colorado grocery stores don't do as well).

Or the breakfast hours are changed. It now ends at 10 am. The sign reads different. Lunch - Today I came to order a burger. Sorry no more hamburgers for the next two hours. The new restaurant upstairs didn't have the same issue. Other excuses - I am too busy with one burger on the grill, I am taking my break at 12 noon, I am talking to the poker dealers (Bally employees)... I don't know what her problem is. She has no issue for making food for the Bally employees. The other cooks, I believe his name is Jay, is a cool guy and very friendly. The older African American cook on the weekend there is no problem. Burger ordered, burger cooked, burger eaten. I am wondering if Bally's just doesn't want to feed poker players. I play poker in this place once or twice a week and this is how I am treated. Ballys - Remember you are not the only game in Blackrock. There are poker room in other, more friendlier casinos.

I mean there's a huge box of fries outside. Well today I wasn't prepared for what we experienced. The place was filled with shot glasses. Cool looking place what's seems to be in the middle of nowhere. This dude greets us introducing himself as "Roy" the owner. He welcomes us and literally gives us the behind the scenes tour of the kitchen and the freezer. What can I say, when you get an unscheduled tour on a Sunday morning and the kitchen and surrounding areas are clean and organized that's a good place. This guy and his wife Barbra run it. He's super cool and self admitted a bit crude but fun nonetheless. He told us we could order anything even if it wasn't on the menu. Sunday everything on the special menu is $10. Next week he's doing a fried chicken buffet for FREE. He says once he didn't have anything and just like doing it for people. He's 72 full of life and maybe a little full of crap but totally fun and friendly. Good food, good service and a fun place on the "peak to peak highway" just outside Blackhawk. This place will be an experience.

We also had the momos which were a little more doughy like an empanada and garlic naan ( VERY garlicky) and I never say that. We ordered takeout so I can't speak to the ambiance of the restaurant but the food was all wonderful.

We were greeted by a really nice blonde girl that showed us our seats. She was down to earth and was just beaming with great vibes. Then we got Matt. As if the experience wasn't already great from hanging out with friends, Matt invited us with an amount of aloha that is only found in Hawaii! We ordered chips and onion dip. The ramekin that the onion dip came with was really small compared to the amount of chips we received. It was delicious! Maybe substitute toasted bread next time? I ordered the poke and that was outstanding! It came with a creamy ginger dip that tied things together. For being landlocked and in the mountains, this is a dish I will remember! Matt also brought out a Hong Kong sriacha that definitely elevated everything. The reggae (music), positive vibes, and down to earth feel was a great way to end our trip before getting back to the grind. What a place! The scenery speaks for itself too and the staff is top notch!

The food: It doesn't seem like a lot at first, but what you get is actually plenty of food for the price. We filled up with just a basic plate of omelet and pancakes and some coffee. I will say that the pancakes are pretty dense, they could definitely use some fluffing, but everything has good flavor, including the coffee! I would definitely go back if I were back in the area for another hike.
