Was surprised this place wasn't packed Memorial Day weekend but I suppose we made it post rush. They were out of quite a few items on the menu which was okay. We mainly just carved burgers and beers after a long day of hiking. The mushroom Swiss burger was out of this world. So simple and so juicy. Ambiance was great as well, nice music but not too loud where you can converse comfortably. Had the burger juice dripping down my hands but could not stop to wipe. It's not fancy but what you would expect after a long day outdoors. Fries were good. Kids didn't care for the chicken tenders as much. The batting was too thick. Will return next time I'm in the area!
This cozy gem of a place is where locals & tourists can enjoy some of the best burgers in Colorado! (As well as live music, comedy shows, karaoke & bingo.) At over 9,000 feet & 25 miles west of Colorado Springs you'll find this awesome family run bar & grill. I was told by a local that the burgers are flame grilled in an outdoor kitchen by Russ, the owner. Inside is a small no frills dining room & bar, playing classic rock music in the background. The dining room tables have paper towels instead of napkins, which you'll need plenty of since the burgers are SO juicy. You can watch sports on the five TVs in the bar. If you're a beer lover they serve Colorado Craft Beers. Also, there are beautiful views of Pikes Peak that can be seen from the outdoor patio tables & chairs. It was a busy Saturday afternoon when we went. In spite of being crowded our server sat us quickly & took our orders promptly. She was friendly & checked on us often. Our meals arrived fast, they were brought in from the outside kitchen. The burgers & sandwiches come with fries & are very reasonably priced. Note: they have an Impossible Burger too. The Bacon Swiss Burger was absolutely delicious, cooked to a perfect medium. There is nothing like a flame grilled burger, so yummy. The Spicy Fried Chicken sandwich was enormous, twice the size of the bun. It's very flavorful, but be prepared it is spicy. I highly suggest making a trip up the mountain to check out Russ' Place!
Tried this for a quick evening meal. The burgers were packed very nice for our to go order, everything was separate so it wouldn't get soggy. The burger was a bit dry but favor was fine. Wouldn't say it was the best we've had. The fries weren't very good. Dry and hard. Not much flavor to them but had an odd taste. We also got Mac n cheese. However it's just the Mac n cheese from a box. We've had that several times to know and it was the same. I ate it but was expecting a better quality mac n cheese for the $6 it costed. Maybe we just got food on an off night for them but wasn't the best on our experience.
We stopped in here on a recommendation and really enjoyed it. After hiking in Divide, we needed food. I got a Moscow mule and the Kona burger. The mule tasted good, and I'd try another one next time. The Kona burger had an awesome tangy sauce that paired well with the pineapple (I was skeptical) and beef, and I loaded it up with pickles, onions, lettuce, and tomato. I'd recommend this burger and the fries. Everyone else seemed to enjoy their meals as well amd the chicken sandwich next to me looked tempting. Don't be turned off by the exterior. This place was awesome.
Best burger I've had in a long time. Wait was a little long but they were packed. I will definitely be back for some more!!
Very casual. I've been here a few times, didn't know my dog would be allowed in. That's a big plus for me. Sunday afternoon, 4:30 ish and it's clearing out. They have bingo and other themed nights which can get really busy. The burgers are great and they have a good beer list. I'm finding it real pleasant just sitting here with my dog and my draft listening to whatever is playing.
What a great find!! The staff was amazing, the patrons were all super friendly, and the food was fantastic. Not pictured were the onion rings that my husband ordered and they were delish. I'm super picky about onion rings and cannot stand when you bite it and a limp onion pulls all the way out. These were crisp throughout and seasoned nicely. They make their buns in house for their burgers as well which is a huge win in my book.
Wow, what a great experience! I was traveling from Black Hawk Colorado to Cripple Creek Colorado and had to stop for a bite to eat toward the end of this relatively short journey (about 3 hours), I was starving. The small town, laid back, "Cheers's" (everyone knows your name) vibe is nice and relaxing. Jewels was my server/bartender and she was great, keeping me updated on the status of my order and including me in the bar talk. Someone is about to be the proud owner of a chicken laying a light bulb, Bahaha! Anyhow, the spicy blue burger hit the spot. The burger was cooked just a bit more that medium rare, placed on top a lightly toasted bun, smothered with blue cheese crumbles and franks red hot sauce on a bed of crispy french fries paired with the 420 Pale Ale. What a lunch, perfect all around. I'm truly glad I stumbled across Russ' Place. If you're in the mood for a savory burger and a beer, this is it!
We heard that the burgers here at Russ' are the best in the county. We arrived as they just opened in the morning. Of course the wind was blowing 40 mph, and cold. We pulled into the parking lot and walked in. They were ready to serve us! Friendly little place, where everybody seemed to know everybody. There are 3 TV's in the rustic little place, with sports memorabilia on the walls. We split the bacon burger with fries, served on tin plates. I think our server was an owner and delivered the food promptly. It seems that the food is cooked in a trailer attached to the west side of the restaurant. While there is no smoke or smells inside the restaurant, grease covers the outside of the trailer at the vent. We sat close to the door in case there was the inevitable grease fire. The burger was okay, but for 18$, I question the value.
Burgers. STOP. Top shelf margarita. STAHHPPP. Service. BEYOND. Had the best time passing through here. Only regret is that we didn't have a chance to go again. 10/10
Food and service were amazing. Best burger I've had in a long time! Would definitely recommend if you are in the area.

While in the area on a fly fishing trip with my cousin, we were looking for a good place to have dinner. In a small rural town, dining options can sometimes be hit or miss, but Russ' Place stood out because of its consistently positive reviews. I'm happy to say they absolutely lived up to the hype. Everything exceeded our expectations. The food was excellent, the bar had a great selection, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the service was outstanding from start to finish. It's the kind of local restaurant that makes you glad you stopped in. If you're anywhere near Divide, Colorado, I highly recommend Russ' Place. We'll definitely make it a point to come back the next time we're in the area. read more

DIVIDE, Colo. - Unassuming sports bar just off US 24 west of Colorado Springs w/ quite good burgers. Big, meaty, drippy burgers with loads of toppings. Wife's $12 cheeseburger was more than she could eat. My $18 Hot Pink with sautéed jalapeños and pink pickled onions and a horseradish sauce was a stomachful. Decent fries. We'd go back, read more

If there was an option for 10 stars, I would give it. We go to Russ's several times a year but we made a special trip up with friends visiting from Texas. You can't go wrong with the Burgers, by far the best I've had. Buns are made in-house as well as their beer batter. The Bloody Mary's are perfect consistency and just the right amount of spice and heat. Be careful, the portions are large! Be sure to ask for Bobby - and his love of jazzersize. read more
