This is a fabulous little find, the modest cafe at the Thorn creek Golfcourse in Thornton. My wife…read moreand I stopped there for lunch on a whim, and were very surprised at the quality of the food. We had differing hamburgers and spol;it a large Caesar salad, the waiter suggesting that he split into two plates the one salad we ordered.
The 'server"--really it is to a certain extent self-service, but there's a good man who is a jack of all trades, bringing food, cordinating things in front of the kitchen--was a terrific guy wanting to be as helpful as he could.
It was a cool, pre-Winter day, so we chose to stay within the sheltered portion of the cafe, but there is a vast patio for the good days of summer.
Things aren't fancy, and you'll pre-pay a cashier at the liquor counter for your food, but this is all a sort of blessing in disguise. Burgers were at 11-12 dollars, but they were excellent, cooked per request to medium rare, and there were a number of suitable condiments, all clean and proper, in jars at the table. My wife was a tad disappointed that there wen't soups on the menu, and we recommended to them that for Winter they add a soup or two, and advertise the heck out of themselves, as during our current Covid sujppressions, they might develop a good take-out business.
We just paid $10:50 for a pedestrian double burger and fries with Coke at Wendys, so really, this big single burger with good complementary French fries outdid the fast-food place by far for little difference in price. I'd say avoid the boxy looking tater tots which are an option to the Frioes.
Bon Appetit!
Thanks, guys and ladies of Thorncreek. Well done.
PS...Sorry, I don't recall the other items on your menu, as we arrived hungry for burgers, but I'm sure there's lots else that's good, too.
