After a fun long day we came here for food and drinks with friends and was not disappointed! There was no wait on a Sunday afternoon and the staff were very friendly and made sure we had all we needed! I ordered a cider on tap and it was perfectly chilled! We shared order of the wings BBQ and honey chipotle and we were obsessed! The wings here are the best in town! They are packed with flavor! Perfectly cooked and they have a ton of meat! We also loved the cheese curds! Everything we had blew us away and we can't wait to come back! read more

My hubby and I went here a few months ago with a group of people for dinner. The service was good, very friendly and patient and the food was good as well. I forgot what I had though...Try them out, but note that it can be loud and crowded, even on a Thursday night when we went. read more

Went to this place to see a band that I was following. The band was great but the service was unbelievably bad. I sat at the bar when I arrived and it took about 15-20 minutes just to get my first beer! The bartender and waitresses all had sour puss attitudes and god bless them maybe they were on day five of double shifts. Not sure what was going on. I ended up finding a table to watch the band and no matter what I said or did none of the waitresses would give me the time of day. I ended up leaving and going to the brewery next door. They actually had good beer and people willing to wait on me! read more

Holy freaking deity, where do I start? I made the mistake of going here on a Friday night. First, the band was awful. It was an entire set of variations on the Batman these from the 1960s. And they were ridiculously loud... So much that we couldn't talk at the table. And I go to metal concerts, so the volume wasn't the point, it was that the band was awful. Speed of service was exceptionally bad too. Took 25 minutes to get the drink order , and another 35 for our order to come out. The server was friendly and obviously overworked. Food was just okay. I won't be back read more

Fresh REAL hand pressed burgers cooked perfectly and onion rings better than the state fair. Friendly staff makes you feel like family. Outdoor dining available, live music and pub games. Worth a visit, you'll be back. I've only moved here recently so I've never had a bad experience. Maybe they had issues in the past but they are doing things right now. Still a LOT on the menu i have yet to try. That burger and rings just keeps calling to me EVERY SINGLE TIME I go there. Keep up the good work and I enjoy having you guys as a nieghbor. I can hear the bands all summer long from my back yard and I don't mind one bit. Always good music and they shut it down at a reasonable hour. read more

A medium rare prime rib? More like raw meat chucked onto a plate. And for the low low price of $32! Genuinely cannot wrap my head around how this could be served to anyone that didn't ask for their meat to be still mooing. read more

Came in with our adult son and his familya few weeks ago while visiting Colorado ! This place came highly recommended by someone we met at our son's pool ! None of us were impressed at all ! The appetizers we purchased were ok but None of our meals were good at all ! My Taco salad lacked flavor as did my husband's fish and chips ! His fish was greasy and not crispy at all ! The only reason I'm giving this place two stars is because of server was amazing ! I do not recommend this place at all read more

Service is terrible and don't serve burned jalapeños. If you aren't their 'friend' you may never get service.

Frog legs! Jalapenos with chicken tucked inside wrapped in bacon. So great! Drinks were inconsistent, first one watery. Second perfect. Waitress amazing and hardworking! Even went to bat for moving smokers out front instead of on the patio. I had already lost my appetite but appreciate the kindness. The smokers are the only reason to take a star away. Right by the door right by diners. Love a beautiful evening here listening to live music! read more

they changed the pizza and not for the good. The crust is different and is no longer excellent. I don't like the cheese that they changed . The ingredients are still good, but the pizza has a awful. They used to have the best pizza in town. Why did they change it? read more

Waited to be seated, bar tender wouldn't stop laughing and joking to seat us. Only 10 people at the bar, NO-ONE was seated in booths or tables. read more

Again I have tried this place , a salad how can a salad be messed up ? The issue was the house salad with chicken . Even the waitress said it is usually not good chicken kinda slimy . They hire high school kids for the kitchen .( reviews yes pretty good if you are drinking , maybe you don't notice what you are eating . read more

The food was not good at all. Stale bread on the sandwich, dirty crumbs stuck in water glasses, ice had specs frozen in it. Bacon was fried to a burnt crisp. Manager doesn't care about customer service, only cares about her regulars at the bar. Even with a slow day, our food came out cold. Do not recommend. read more

First let me say, I was very reluctant to go to the Toad again for dinner. Over the last few years, we've had miserable experiences with this place in both food quality, service and ownership. So, I don't know if ownership has changed or what, but this visit was exceptional. We were seated right away and our server was on point. Not just for the initial contact but for our entire stay. I wish I would have remembered her name, but I don't. We ordered 2 large Coors lights, which we're a hair overpriced in my opinion, but were correctly filled to the very top and ice cold. My wife had the Cuban with tots, and I had a cheeseburger with fries. Both we're perfectly cooked and prepared and were delicious. The star though was the fries and tots. I'm sure they came right out of a frozen bag, but we're super hot, perfectly crispy and the portion size was probably the largest I've seen with sandwiches anywhere. Other than the beer prices (we need to go during happy hour) the food prices we're a very good value. NOW... Purple Toad... Keep it up. Don't let me down again. We'll see you soon. read more

Nope! I ordered Uber eats, I live nearby. Yet, I had to order in..I ordered a chicken and spinach pizza it was $16+! A molten chocolate cake with ice cream was included in the order for my son. I received the cake but the pizza? I got this small corn pepper crap! It was even burned on the bottom! This isn't my order. I don't think they even make a pizza with corn, peppers and onions. WTF? Do not do it! read more

Came to eat here multiple times and for some reason Heather is always so slow with our orders. She has served us multiples times that we've came here to eat. During one of the visits we ordered some fries for the table to share along with a soda and one glass of water. Wait almost 20 minutes just to get our drinks. When we got our drinks we put in our orders. Mind you this was on a day when it was not busy. We waited about 30 minutes and never got our fries. When the server brought out our food I asked about our fries and she said she forgot them and asked if we still wanted them. At that point we didn't want them anymore and just wanted our food. The server not only was slow in taking care of us but never asked us once if we would like our drinks refilled during our time there. The whole time there our service was very lackadaisical. This has happened multiple times that I've visited this location. read more

Horrible food. Horrible service Will never return to this place. Great location. Needs new ownership

Came for a drink and snack. They didn't offer a lot of local brews on tap. Service was very slow when we came around 3-4pm on a Friday. We sat outside in the patio which was clean and nice but we felt like we were forgotten. The poppers were not great they had very little filling and the Jalapeños were very mild on both appetizers. I was hoping for more flavor and spice to them bit this was too bland for my liking. I would visit again but would try something else. read more

I had the treat of having lunch at the Purple Toad yesterday. The Monte Cristo was EXCELLENT!! I changed the cheese from cheddar to pepper jack and wow it was so flavorful. The sweet and savory combo was just delicious. Our server Heather was a doll. Very attentive and upbeat. The prices were on par for what I expected. I went with my brother and sister in law that live in Peyton. For 2 beers, wine slushee and 3 sandwiches was very reasonable. I live in Rochester, NY and can guarantee this restaurant would be packed all the time there. The music was not too loud and enjoyed the country tunes!! read more

They might play the game you are looking for, but don't expect to hear anything besides the bartenders song playlist wether she is on or off the clock. read more

They seem to have hired a lot of red head waitstaff. There is a lot of attractive staff here. They are friendly, fast and funny. The atmosphere is casual, but the live music is well above par. The majority of the food is great, but the fish and chips would benefit from cod over the fish used. Though I suspect that would raise the price point so you get what you pay for in that point. The chicken teriyaki is amazing. You can substitute a grilled instead of breaded for an even better taste. If Tiffany is behind the bar you can expect great service though all their staff is amazing. Bree is also an amazing barkeep. Great attitude, personality and smart. read more

We've been to the Purple Toad many times. Today we're here for lunch. My wife and I each started out with 22 oz beers. She had a Fat Tire and I had a Breckinridge Vanilla Porter. The Porter was excellent. We shared two items today: - Chicken Fiesta Wrap We thought this was "just okay". I'd prefer a thinner wrap. - Tuscan Flatbread This was really good. Might have liked more chicken, but I'd order this again. read more

Good local family sports bar style place. Great place to sit and talk with someone. I'm always impressed with the food.

We decided to go back and try purple toad even tho the last time was simply aweful. Sadly, nothing has changed. We went Friday night, several people walked by us not acknowledging so we sat ourselves on a high top close to the servers station. We sat as the servers were eating, laughing and ignoring people sitting right next to them without menues. Finally I asked if someone could bring menus. Just wow, sorry to put you out. Anyway, food took forever. My burger that was supposed to be mid rare, ended up falling apart from being raw. Just raw. Pizza was undoubtedly a frozen totinos, Mac and cheese cold, and pretzel bites burnt. Just, such a bad showing all around. No bother complaining as no one seems to give a sh*t anyway. Will never go back. read more

We actually ended up here because another place asked us to leave wanting 30 more mins before opening. I was apprehensive at first because of the poor reviews. We wanted wings and this was our only option in the small community. When I read the reviews, there was a fair combination of food and service displeasure that seemed to mostly stem from the place being too busy and not enough or attentive enough staff to accommodate. I didn't run into any of those issues (there was only 1 other customer). Ordered nachos and wings and both met my hope and expectations. The wings were actually larger than I probably hoped for. There were 24 beers on tap (I don't drink), but that seemed a bit more than most places. One thing I will mention, in the reviews a couple folks were disappointed that their personal go to drink was out or not available. I did see 2 messages mentioning that beer selection was out. I'd say this is a great lunch place. Based on previous reviews and this only being lunch, I can't speak to the rush or dinner frustrations that others have had. read more

I wouldn't recommend this place for anything food. It is some of the worst food I think in Colorado Springs you kind of are better off going to McDonald's and that's given McDonald's a four star rating why they would even think of serving food in this restaurant seriously need to either get a new chef or quit drinking and cooking. read more

Keep the rating at 3 again There does not seem to be much progress made here for the last year, or so. Good news it appears that the owner now has hired a restaurant pro to make improvements. We went here just a few days ago on Friday to try after not visiting in months. What we did notice is that the service level definitely edged up. However, food still fell short for us and had us leaving with the idea we will still go to OC, or Bubbas when looking for the Sport Bar theme. I ordered the Peperoni Pizza which was reasonable but not spectacular. One to two peperoni per slice is not inspiring :-). Wife's burger was good. Nachos still have a LONG way to go to compete with OC or Rock Bottom. Seriously need to get rid of the cheap nacho sauce and ensure no naked chips. The bar part of the pub seems to be the profit center and where all the attention is going at the moment. Still waiting for the killer happy hour and improved food choice/quality to give the reason never to go back to Powers for weekend revelry. read more

Incredible dinner at the Purple Toad Social Tap & Grill! We tried variations of a Hawaiian Burger which included beef patty, ham, provolone cheese, pineapple chucks, slaw and teriyaki sauce. The other is the same toppings with a chicken breast (my personal fave ) in lieu of beef. Kick them both up a notch by adding jalapeños...YUM!!! Don't forget to make good fries even better by going with garlic fries or the cinnamon and sugar sweet potato fries (again, my fave ). Lucky for my Falcon/Peyton friends, this is the Toad's special this week Monday through Thursday! Leasa and the kitchen staff rocked it tonight! read more

In a time of unprecedented times, especially for restaurants, this place could care less. They take advantage of the Falcon community knowing that's all we have out here. If you have awful service, disgusting and overpriced food, don't expect a comp or even an apology. They'll just find you on social media and basically tell you they don't care and the managers won't do anything about it with a condescending message. Do yourself a favor and avoid this place at all cost... read more

Strike 2. Went here about 6 months ago for lunch arriving to an empty restaurant minus about 4-5 people at the bar. After waiting at the door for an unusually awkward amount of time to be seated (per the sign), bartender finally shouted "sit anywhere" so we chose a table in an empty dining area and waited about 10 more min for a menu before just leaving. We'd been there 15+ min by then. Went here again this week and after waiting at the door to be seated for an unusually long awkward period of time, bartender shouted "sit anywhere." Again, no one in the dining area.... We waited 10 min for a menu and she caught us just in time before leaving again. Dropped off menus several minutes later, Came back to take our order 10 min after that. Food was up, we could see it on the service counter. (Again no people there minus a few lunch time bar patrons). Food sat while she filled beers, swept the floor, sipped her own beer off to the side... Food was ok. That's the 2nd star. Get a 2nd employee if 4-5 bar top patrons are too much to handle. Where's the owner? Get in there! I won't go back. Sad. read more

We used to really enjoy this place, when it was tan maybe one or two owners ago. Recently it has really gone down hill. Because we used to really like it we keep giving it more chances but we won't be going back anymore. The service is always slow and the food can take 1+ hour to come for simple dishes. And when it does come the food is greasy and bland. The last 3 times we've gone we've been overcharged. The prices have gone up while the portions have gotten smaller, which I can kinda understand because of rising inflation but the food also tastes bad now. read more

Since the shutdown, the food quality has faltered. I order burgers (without buns) most of the time with few exceptions. I walked in and sat down. The waitress was new I made small talk with her she seemed nice enough and all. Staple employees Courtney and Kylee were there to greet me with smiles. I ordered the Swiss Mushroom burger Medium Rare "extra mushrooms' and tater tots. NO BUN. The burger showed up and it was over cooked (well done) and the mushrooms, greasy and sparse. I did show the waitress but she didn't look interested in the issue. I finished most of the burger said hi to some old acquaintances and left. A breath of fresh air is the new GM Kylee, professional, polite, and very well in tune with the community. Nothing else to say. Not withstanding the food, she has her work cut out for her. I thought, lets do it again. Two days later same burger almost the same result. Greasy, over cooked, and not the same burger I was use to getting. The amount of grease on the mushrooms and onions was a bit much and over cooked too but I didn't order onions on my burger and well surprise, I got them anyway. Medium rare for those reading is a burger pink in the middle not brown. I liked the Toad before the shutdown but now the quality is far from what it used to be. I hope the owners pay attention and spend a day monitoring the food. Good hamburgers are not hard to do. Glad to see Courtney still works there, she always treats customers very well. Some of the old staff were not on hand :(, lets just hope they bring them back. Or else people will go elsewhere. Fix the burgers sir. A bar and "grill" should be able to grill burgers. read more
