    Pikes Peak Hog members, Mike, Beaver and Richard, we all ate at the Owl Cigar Store.

    Wow, been through Canon City many times never really noticed this awesome place, cold beer and a fabulous smash burger, great atmosphere and family run since the Fourties'. Going back for sure, time it after lunch if you can hold out, locals love the place.

    Basic cheese burger chocolate malt and a shot Irish whiskey

    If all you're looking for is a milk shake or malt, you could do worse. Cute little shop lots of photos from the past. Simple thin cheese burger seasoned ok very basic, frozen fried French fries. Good service real friendly.

    A work friend recommended this place and swore up and down that the burgers here are the best, so I packed up my kids and hubs and went in. We got there at 545, they closed at 7 so we figured we had plenty of time to get 4 simple burgers. We sat in a booth and didn't get greeted for a while, so we looked over the menu plaque and decided what we'd all get. The kids got basic cheeseburgers and shared an order of fries, hubs got the triple triple egg, I got the double double egg and a side of fries. Simple enough. The waitress finally comes over, we place our food and drink orders all at once. Its 6 at this point. 20 minutes go by, thats fine, food takes time. 40 minutes go by, and were getting antsy. Kids are cranky and bored, theres pool tables but not suited for 4yr olds. 7 o'clock rolls around and we have no food, the waitress hasn't been back and were seated in the booth nearest the "chef", watching her make orders for tables that came in after us. I'm ready to leave at this point, I'm hangry and pissed watching everyone who came in after us eat. Hubs talks me into waiting. Waitress comes and refills his soda finally and says it should be ready soon. 710, we finally get our food. And it is MEDIOCRE at best. The burgers weren't seasoned and the eggs on them were like the kind you get at McDonald's on a breakfast sandwich. I'll own that I should have asked how the eggs came, but microwaved wasn't what I assumed I'd get. All in all, the waitress didn't seem to give a shit about us or our experience, though people who seemed to be regulars of the place got great service. I am in the industry so It's not hard for me to watch and see how things are in a restaurant. We never got a check or checked to see how we liked the food, so we choked it down and went to the bar to pay. It was an even 20$, and for the first time in my adult life, I left a zero dollar tip. I usually tip 20% even if the service is lacking but this was downright terrible. Whats crazy is that I could totally see myself being a regular here, the pool tables and draft beer would have had me hooked. The prices on the burgers? Freaking awesome! But that one experience alone ensured that I'll never go back. I guess the TLDR is prices are great, food and service kinda suck.

    Triple egg sandwich...MY fav!!!
    Ava S.

    O.M. G... the egg sandwich is SO FREAKING GOOD! The triple burger was divine! And the fries....BEST EVER! And the prices are so cheap...Raft the River and then come here. The River guides know their stuff. It's our new fav!!

    Food.

    Owl Cigar Store probably has the best burger prices in Cañon City. Much better quality than McDonalds & Burger King!

    Good place to after a hike or rafting trip. You can come as you are. Burgers are thin so I recommend a double or triple

    My only other piece of advice is to order at least a double double because the patties are thin.

    8 Mile Bar & Grill -- Fried pickles, cold beer, and post-raft perfection…read more After a full day of rafting (read: screaming, paddling, bonding, and getting smacked in the face with joy and river water), we floated our hungry, soggy selves straight into 8 Mile Bar & Grill. It was like they were waiting for us--with cold drinks, fried things, and the promise of dry chairs. Beer selection? Generous. Beautiful. A full beer menu that made us feel seen. I got a shandy that tasted like summer vacation in a glass. Light, citrusy, and just what my inner "fun mom" needed after braving rapids and teenage attitudes. The kids were equally pumped about their soft drinks (probably because no one made them share or filter river water through a life straw). They were just happy. And quiet. Which is the dream. Now. Let's talk about the fried pickles. These weren't your average sad little slices. Oh no. These were spears. Like crunchy, salty dill torpedoes of happiness. We housed them like we hadn't eaten since breakfast. No regrets. Add in the cheese curds -- crispy, melty, glorious -- and you've got a fried food symphony worthy of applause (and maybe a Tums, but worth it). Service was fast, friendly, and unfazed by our damp, sunburned chaos. We left full, happy, and maybe a little bit in love with whoever invented shandies and deep-fried pickles. 10/10 would recommend post-adventure (or literally anytime you want to eat like you earned it).

    Had a great lunch after white water rafting with Echo Canyon. My sister and I shared the burger and…read morefries and some cheese curds. The fries and cheese curds were hot and crispy and the burger was very good. Thankful the place had good food because I was too hungry to go anywhere else!
