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).

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.

Excellent Food and Service in a Very Busy Estes Park Favorite…read more Executive Summary: A fantastic dinner with fresh, well-executed dishes, strong cocktails, and outstanding service. Easily a 5-star experience and highly recommended. We booked a 6:00 p.m. Sunday reservation through Resy and were seated immediately. The restaurant was very busy, which felt like a good sign. One thing to note: parking is VERY difficult. You may need to park kitty-corner at the grocery store lot and walk across. We started with the Beets & Bibb salad, which was outstanding--fresh, thinly sliced crunchy beets, crisp dried chickpeas for texture, grapes for sweetness, and a honey vinaigrette with just enough acidity to balance everything. The cornbread arrived warm and freshly baked with black garlic butter. It was light rather than dense and very enjoyable. For an entrée, the Carnivore was excellent. Both the elk and petite filet had a beautiful sear and were cooked perfectly to temperature, accompanied by a flavorful reduction and seared broccolini. Our second entrée was the trout with a side petite filet. The fish was well seasoned and cooked perfectly. By the end of dinner we were far too full to try the desserts, although they looked tempting. We also had a couple of cocktails--strong, flavorful pours. Our server, Ian, was friendly, efficient, and attentive throughout the evening. Excellent service despite how busy the restaurant was. Overall, Bird & Jim delivered great food, great drinks, and great service. Highly recommended--5 stars.

If they put more tomatoes it'd be delicious. Overall just ok. Kind of pricey for what you get.

However, once you find this place, you'll find the outside is nice and quaint, like going to Grandma's house for breakfast.

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.
