we love burgers and have had them in many, many places. Sage in Pagosa is among our top 3 ever. Food was top notch, service excellent, atmosphere casual. Chili burger and fries were incredible. a fave for us and we will return. read more

We altered our menu order with our preferences and happily no mistakes in our order. We ordered two "Local burgers" that came with with green chiles, grilled onion, pepper jack, and mayo. We asked for a few changes and asked for toasted bread. Everything was delicious and on point. The fries were excellent and fried in tallow and extra crispy as requested. The accommodations at the restaurant are modest but it all works well. Definitely check them out. They close at 4pm and are not open on Sunday or Monday. read more

The menu is fairly short but the burgers and fries are very tasty. Order at counter and when it's ready a staff member will bring you a bag with your food order. Several Tables, indoor dining, clean and staff do a good job of wiping, sweeping, etc.. bathrooms are tiny. Hubby had a regular, I had GF bun. Best GF burger bun i've had.I asked about the GF bun and staff were very helpful. read more

Sage Eatery - Patty melt and green chili fries - Southern Near Me - Pagosa Springs, Colorado

Awesome place for some good grub and chill atmosphere. Everyone there is friendly and the prices are good for what you get.

Seems nice enough. People were kind and checked my allergens. They do have gluten free options (not dedicated space), my soy free options except the turkey and mustard. So you could get a salad with lettuce, turkey, mustard only. Soybean oil in fryers and on grill. Very kind staff and the rest in group were happy. Bonus points for calling our group name as Batman and Robin because of my shirt, though. That amused me. read more

We were in town for the week from Fort Worth, Texas. Everybody was talking about the burgers here, so we planned a late lunch to avoid the crowds. They do get busy and you have to be patient. We brought our two Aussies with us and sat outside at the picnic tables. They have a great awning that keeps the sun off you. We're from Texas so can handle the CO heat quite well. Loved that they have a big dog bowl outside for water. The girl that took our order was so nice. They have the best service. She said be patient that it takes a little bit but it's worth it. Well she knew what she was talking about. These burgers were so unbelievably good. Perfectly toasted buns and not too thick. The Pattie's were awesome and had so much flavor. Even the fries were delicious. I'd put this place up against ANY DFW burger place. read more

First time there. Son in law and daughter brought us with their 3 kids. Very laid back setting. The folks there were very helpful. I got the Local because it has Hatch green chiles (always the best chiles vibe from there). It was excellent. The green chiles were mild to medium in heat. Definitely opened up my clogged sinuses. My wife got the Belly Up. She said it was very good with the BBQ sauce, etc. These burgers are not gigantic but they are not small either. We knew we wouldn't need dinner later on. Their French fries are just about perfect for me. Nice crunchy outer layer while fluffy on the inside. Not greasy either. A standard self serve soda dispenser. If I ever visit Pagosa Springs again, I'm going back. read more

Bruh I would sell my first born for these burgers and fries. 10/10 must try if shopping or passing through pagosa springs

Best burger and green chili fries!! Stopped on a busy night and they got our food out quickly! Would've have went back but they are closed on Sun-Mon. read more

Everything was amazing, probably best burger I ever had (Hangover 2.0). Regret I did not get a double. They were unfortunately closed on the Friday while I was there since they also close Saturday- Monday. But man the food, the green chili was absolutely amazing as well. The fried bread that came with it gave a nice sheen in the take out bag, everything was amazing!!! Best food in Pagosa!! read more

Over cooked Hamburger bun was soaked in Grease from the Burger Fries were over salted way to much salt I will not be eating there again. Also they need a fountain Drinks not Bottled water read more

Best burger in the Southwest. They move around a lot and are on the main drag now but always worth finding them. Great green chili burgers.

A local referred us to the restaurant and it was so good! Apparently it used to be in a food truck but this is now their brick and mortar space. These were the best burgers we had while in Pagosa. They have limited hours and they make everything to order. If you are in a hurry then probably not the place for you. In fact, the cashier advised us of the wait time before we placed our order. For us, it was 25 minutes...no problem. They don't skimp on size here...wow, portion sizes are big. The four of us could have shared burgers but they were so good that we stuffed ourselves and rolled out the door. There is not a kid's menu so be aware of portion size. The belly up burger and the turkey sandwich with bacon added were delicious. The fries are amazing too. The "a lot" of fries were shared by 4 of us. Such a delicious local burger joint. Can't wait to visit again while in Pagosa Springs. read more

Pros Seasoned beef Served hot Hatch chilis not burnt Sweet potato fries were seasoned and crispy Good portions Short wait for food Friendly staff Nice and clean restaurant Vegan options on menu Cons Brisket is seasonal read more

We finally got the opportunity to see what all the fuss is about. Yes, the burgers are worth the wait and so are the fries! I ate half of a single patty of the Local and my boyfriend had the hang over. Excellent best describes them. Mine was dripping in Hatch green chilis. Very moist and flavorful. You have to try the special sauce. Yummy! Check the hours and come when they open. Be patient. They will "pause" the kitchen if too many orders come in all at once. They want to keep it small. A must try while in Pagosa! read more

Had a great (but a bit greasy) smoked turkey sandwich. The setting is just tables and chairs and you order at the desk. The service was fast and the food delivered to my table. They have a good Take Out system, too. Very busy and popular local place. Just a bit too greasy for my system (french fries, hamburgers, etc.). read more

OH MY GOODNESS! I'd looked this place up prior to getting to Pagosa Springs and knew I wanted to come here. We had spent the morning at the Overlook Hot Springs and were hungry. We decided to stop in for burgers! We walked in and since they make every fresh and to order the wait was 45-60 minutes. IT IS SO WORTH IT!! I ordered the "a lot" size of sweet potato fries and the Belly Up burger. My friend also ordered sweet potato fries and a mushroom and jack cheese burger. Our food took 53 minutes. I said it before but I'll say it again "IT WAS SOOO WORHT IT!!" The fries were so on point! Crunch outside and tender inside with great seasoning! Soo good. Then, the Belly Up... this thing was so tasty, it's good I do live there or I'd be there all the time! So, my burger had beef, cheddar, fried onions, BBQ sauce, and house smoked pork belly. The pork belly was amazing. It was so thick and tasty. I was eating the burger thinking I'd never finish and I was so tired after soaking that I kind of nap ate near the end. I did finish my whole burger as did my friend and we made a huge dent in all the sweet potato fries. If you have the time to wait and want a fantastic burger with killer fries in a family owned joint with a friendly staff, come to Sage. Wow. Just wow. Wishing I could have a Belly Up right now. Thanks Sage!!!! read more

We originally were going to stop at The Malt shoppe and I am so glad we didn't!! This burger/sandwich eatery was beyond amazing! The cashier told us there was going to be a wait but our food came out quick! The food was delicious, my husband had the patty melt and fell in love...lol I had the Local yum yum yum!! Definitely please stop by and have a bite to eat. read more

We drove through Pagosa Springs last summer and tried the burgers here and they were so good my daughter wanted to drive 1 hour out if our way to get another Sage Burger this summer. Nice crispy parts where they smashed the patties and the fries were really good. Make sure to stop in and get a awesome burger when in Pagosa Springs Colorado read more

It's a long wait, but they warned us in advance. There's even a sign. So we placed our order and had 45 minutes to imagine 5-star burgers (based on previous reviews). My hubby got the Patty Melt. Absolutely 5 stars. He is still raving about it. I ordered the Hangover. It sadly missed the mark. The fried egg was well done. (I expected a soft yolk). The burger was a bit dry, though the bacon was thick-cut and generous. Overall, just not amazing - especially after tasting my hubby's patty melt. Rounded out the meal with sweet potato fries and televised disc-golf. read more

I really love the food at Sage but have tried twice to eat and they are never open. Does anyone know what happened??

Today they were super short-staffed and let us know up front it would be a 45-minute wait. We walked to this restaurant and there were not a lot of nearby choices - we opted to wait. We watched agility as the clock ticked, plus there were two other TVs to help entertain everyone sitting with no food on their table. Having never been, we worried we'd be disappointed. I got a Patty Melt and my husband got a burger. Both were GREAT and very much worth the wait. Now I just wish there were better-shoveled sidewalks to get there! The service was really great, too. read more

Nice and chill atmosphere, super casual. Tasha helped us pick something off the menu and she was beyond helpful. She was great, she treated us like we've been friends for a while. Her recommendations were spot on and the food was delicious! We already have plans to stop in again. read more

Well we've been living our dream of traveling to different states and kept saying we felt like a really good burger. Today it happened in Pagosa Springs, CO thanks to the store owner of Hodge Podge who told us where to get one. Glad we got there before they closed at 3:00 pm. Our burger was the All American and we shared it with a full order of fries and it filled us up. Our wait was about 10ish minutes as they are popular, but it was worth the wait. The burger came on a nice large bun, the meat was nice and juicy not to mention quite favorable. Their fancy sauce made the burger that much more yummy!! The fries were nice and HOT, just the way fries should be eaten. Medium thickness and crispy but not overcooked. I wish I would have taken a picture of our food, but it was so good we gobbled it down. Definitely a scrumptious burger and super nice people who own and run it. read more

Why does this place have good reviews? First off. Beware of the weird, stinky guy at the counter. (You order the same way you would at McDonald's) We really should have left when he hit on my 14 year old daughter. Another slap in the face, $65 for burgers, order of fries and drinks that takes forever to come. They even make you tip first before you even get your order. We could have eaten a high end meal with real service for that price and saved our arteries from the pound of salt on the sloppy, paper bag wrapped burgers. The chairs are plastic crap sat around wobbly tables. Not impressed and won't be back. read more

Me and my bf heard how good this place was and after a hike we decided to stop in. This place did NOT disappoint. I had the Local burger and the green chili fries and WOW! Soo delicious!! Inside has a great ambiance with snowboards on the walls and great music playing while you wait for your food. read more

The Green Chile Burger at Sage Eatery in Pagosa Springs was without a doubt the tastiest burger I've eaten in a very long time. Yummy!! My husband had the All American Burger and said it was also a very good burger. We loved the fries too!! The Restaurant was clean and cute, and the staff was very friendly too. Though we were on a roadtrip and just passing through, I hope we have another opportunity eat there again. read more

Worth the 45 min wait after ordering. Wife loves the local with grilled chicken. I keep ordering double beef patty and then I go into food coma. Recommend splitting fries and go 50/50 reg and sweet potato. read more

Good burgers and cool place. But... I'll They switched the fries to some frozen bought BS and got rid of the sweet potato fries. Hand cut fresh fries and getting sweet potato fries puts this at a 4-5 star place. Why restaurants want the sane bad fries other places get is beyond me. Last summer this was a 5 star hang. Right now it's more like a 3.5. I give four for Pagosa standards. Please switch your fries back. Please. read more

Awesome Burger. The "Local" is fire! Wife had Patty melt and that was good also. Fries were perfect and a single order feeds two easy. read more

Food is great, one of the best burgers anywhere. Extremely inconsiderate management. Closes ALL the time with no warning or signage. Spent two hours in town killing time just to wait til 11 to open. No dice. Cars everywhere but no signs. People inside but wouldn't even open the door explain why they were closed. Ridiculously few hours anyway but closed half of those. read more

Stopped in for lunch yesterday. Best green chile cheeseburger I've had in a long time and $10 too!! Got some fries which were perfectly cooked and just the right amount of salt/crunch. Highly recommend this low key spot. read more

Apparently Sage is still having trouble learning its new POS system, because they were cash-only when we went last week. They post regularly on their Facebook page but there was no warning about it; my husband had to walk all the way back to our house just to get some cash, because there is also no ATM on site. I docked them a star for their failure to note this anywhere on the internet, as this has clearly been an ongoing problem for them rather than a day-of emergency. I got the Local burger and my husband got the Sweet Heat chicken sandwich. Both of the sandwiches were good, served up in paper bags. We also got fries, which were battered and delicious. When I asked for water to drink the cashier informed me that it was a privilege for me to receive a cup from which to drink water, which I found a bit odd and off-putting. read more

I read a lot of five star reviews before coming. Disappointed as it is just a hamburger joint with a good variety of burgers. However after placing your order at the counter, be prepared to wait a long time to have them call your name to get your paper sack of food. No ambiance....as a matter of fact it is noisy and very loud & annoying if some little kid is screaming. Seats are uncomfortable if available and they even stopped taking orders when kitchen got behind. Not a FAST food place. Just a good burger at a high price and nothing else but fries to add. Not sure why the crowd. I have had better burgers faster and with good service. read more

Great spot you can bring your pup to! There's an outside patio and you order at the counter. Burgers were great! So happy we found this gem - will be back whenever in town! read more

Great place to eat. Loved the hamburger and fries and can't forget to mention how friendly the staff was. Don't pass it up!
