The food at the Tejon location was amazing. I've never had a juicer, more perfectly cooked burger, ever! That being said, the new location on Dublin was fine. Not bad at all, also not the same. The burger was kind of dry and almost seemed reheated, which is not at all the norm. I was so excited to have a location nearer to me. I love Skirted Heifers and will continue to enjoy the downtown location. read more

Even with all the hype and acclaim, Skirted Heifer makes a damn good burger, and everyone should try it once. Snag some street parking in Downtown Colorado Springs across from Acacia Park and mozy on into the Diners, Drive Ins and Dives favorite, Skirted Heifer. I remember watching their episode 10 years ago. I didn't even live in Colorado back then! Their claim to fame is the iconic cheese "skirt" on their burgers. The way they melt the cheese, you get this funky crispy cheesy entity around the burger resembling a skirt. On this visit, I kept it simple with the Pueblo Farmer and fries. Pueblo Farmer ($12.25) // Grass-fed beef, pueblo chilies, pepper jack cheese, & homemade guacamole on our sesame seed bun. Beefy, spicy, creamy, a perfectly balanced burger. I didn't get it skirted (I honestly was so tired from driving that I forgot), but I wouldn't change much about this burger. Damn tasty! Burgers don't come with fries so I added those on. These are thin and salty. Even though the fries are extra, they have a little sauce bar with their ketchup, ranch, and Heifer sauce to accompany it. The sauces were all great and tasted homemade! Honestly, just wish there was more seating as it's usually crowded. They do have a few outdoor stools, but it does get chilly when the sun is down. If it's good enough for Guy (Fieri...duh) it's good enough for me! read more

I really enjoyed Skirted Heifer! Getting it to go probably changed some of the texture or at least made the skirted cheese a little soggy. It did fall apart the second I picked it up. But a messy burger is a good burger! I thoroughly enjoyed their signature sauce (basically thousand island dressing) and thought the burger was juicy and delicious. Absolutely delicious! I also found the focaccia bun to be a fun take on a classic burger. And the pricing is actually pretty good in my opinion. My only qualm (besides the cheese which is no fault of them), I ordered fries but didn't get them :( I should've double checked. Although I noticed on my receipt that the cashier didn't even ring up my fries. So that's a bummer because I was excited to try the Belgian fries. I think maybe if he read back the order to confirm that would've been good. But again, it's not the end of the world and the burger was super filling! The vibes were nice although it's kinda small in there. But again, all in all, nice place! Just bummed about the fries. read more

Skirted Heifer - #2 The Classic Skirted Heifer - American Near Me - Colorado Springs, Colorado

This place has very unique burgers with a "skirt" of cheese around them. There are a lot of options for customizing your burger and toppings. The place is fast casual style where you order at a counter. The food came out pretty quick. The burger was delicious but SUPER heavy. I couldn't eat much before I felt full and then I didn't need anything else for the rest of the day! Thankfully they have take-home boxes available. The fries were good but cost extra. They also provide a free drink upgrade to veterans. read more

After hearing family members rave about this restaurant, I finally got to try it! It definitely lived up to the hype. It's not a fancy place, but that doesn't matter because the burger is so. good. You can't go wrong with the classic skirted heifer. My first bite was of the crispy cheese around the edge, and I was sold. Sweet potato fries are also delicious! One order of fries is enough for two people. It's a smaller space inside, and a lot of people came in for takeout while I was there. read more

What is a Skirted Heifer you ask? Why it is one of the best burgers I have ever ate in my life. Seriously! While touring around in Colorado Springs, we were getting a little hungry and my spouse recommended we check out this place. He had seen it on DD&D's so off went to find this location. There are two in town. This location is small but had a line out the door. Limited seating but we snagged a couple of bar stools on the outdoor patio. The place was packed which to me is always a good sign. Skirted Heifer serves a unique burger. The beef is Colorado grass fed and grass finished. Buns are homemade and the garlic bun is so soft and tasty. Condiments are made in house as well which adds to the flavor of the burger. The burgers are made to order and you can enjoy them exactly the way you want. We tried two of the burgers. Initially, we thought we could share a burger. HA! That was a joke. Once we both bit into our burger we knew we had to have a second one. The first burger was on the garlic bun with no skirt but with everything else and we both fell in love instantly with the juiciness of the burger. We went back and as we had to try the skirted burger. The skirted burger has an extra layer of melted cheese that surrounds the burger like a skirt. Again this was an outstanding smorgasbord of flavor. Service was fantastic, friendly and terrific! So glad we stopped here and I would definitely recommend trying either location. read more

A small burger joint that seemed to be a big hit for the college kids. I will not go back. I figured if a celebrity ate here it has to be pretty good. The Classic Skirted on a garlic bun with LTO and Heifer sauce. The Heifer sauce is not for me, it looks like 1000 Island, the flavor is a bit flat. The Garlic bun lost its garlic somewhere. The burgers may as well be smash burgers, they are way too thin (like McDonalds). The burger of the week - I tasted the honey once, I think they forgot the "hot". The goat cheese was the highlight, nice tang but the paper thin burger was lost. The fries are great and if you drink soda it is made with cane sugar. It was a little slow to get our food but the place was slammed with college aged folks. read more

Very very crowded and limited seating at this small restaurant in downtown Colorado Springs. The line moved quickly, but the food took quite a while to come out. Service was friendly and they recommended me to get my pueblo farmer burger skirted which is something I've never tried and was willing to give it a shot. I unfortunately was not a fan of the giant crispy cheese overflowing in my burger container. It really overpowered the taste of the burger and made it very greasy and messy to eat. I did appreciate them giving me a free drink after they asked if I was military. Always appreciate those kind gestures. If I do come back, I'll be sure to get my burger NOT skirted! read more

I don't get the hype. The cheese skirt makes the burger really greasy, the meat was too salty, and the bun was very dense like a bagel. The fries were great, but the burger did nothing for me. Shrug. read more

Stopped in at Skirted Heifer for our first meal in the city - we were starving. Walked in to the quaint spot, and immediately got local vibes. I decided to go with a skirted build your own burger with lettuce, tomato, fresh jalapenos, and beer mustard. This was a great choice. The skirted option is great if you want something a little over the top. The burger was well seasoned and had some crispiness to it. Fries were a good compliment and the ketchup almost seemed like it was made in house. Everyone here seemed really nice and helpful. Seems like their teas and sodas were a hit, but would've preferred a beer. All in all I had a great experience and would definitely come back to try some of their signature burgers. read more

We visited Skirted Heifer for lunch after hiking in the morning. This is a tiny store with barely enough room to move given all the customers crammed inside. Ordering is pretty easy at the front counter and the employees all super friendly. I ordered our food to eat there but for some reason they packaged it up for takeout. We unpacked everything as quickly as possible to dig in - hopefully the food didn't steam too much in the bag! The Classic Skirted Heifer ($10.95) - Of course we had to start with the classic, the one that made Skirted Heifer famous. As the name implies, it's a pretty classic burger with the patty, lettuce, tomato, pickle, onion, and sauce on a bun. The specialty is the cheese skirt, which is basically a huge mound of cheese flattened and cooked on the flat top. When I ordered, I expected it to be similar to a crisp baked parmesan crisp, but it's not like that at all. Instead, it's super cheesy and caramelized, becoming a chewy, fatty, and almost leathery layer instead of developing much crisp. They use a ton of cheese in the skirt, making the burger extremely heavy and rich. The burger patty itself is cooked excellently. There's still a slight bit of pink inside, which leaves the patty fatty and moist. The exterior is charred well, giving plenty of flavor. The veggies all work well together, but can't quite manage to dampen the richness of the entire sandwich. Heifer sauce, which is basically fry sauce, a combination of mayo, ketchup, seasoning salt, and pickle juice, is slathered on the bun, adding even more richness. Speaking of the bun - the menu lists it as a garlic focaccia. I wouldn't exactly say it's focaccia. While it has some characteristics of one, it's more of a cross between a normal burger bun and focaccia. It's topped with plenty of minced garlic on top and is blistered very well, along with a great toasty crisp on the cut halves. The burger as a whole is a very enjoyable eat, albeit very heavy and filling. I actually wish I had gone with regular cheese instead of the skirt! (4/5) Burger of the Week ($10.95) - The Octoberfest, the Burger of the Week, includes beef, swiss cheese, sauerkraut, pickled red onions, beer mustard, and mayo all on a homemade pretzel bun. The bun is super chewy, kind of bouncy, yet tears apart with ease like a real soft pretzel. It's toasted very well, creating an almost blackened crunchy area especially along the edge. The exterior of the bun is nicely blistered, although I didn't find it especially crisp, nor was there any salt baked on top. It's definitely like a soft pretzel as the name states, but has some characteristics of a normal burger bun to be soft enough to work with the interior ingredients. As with the other burger, the patty is caramelized very well on both sides, giving it plenty of flavor on the exterior complementing the beefy taste inside. There's plenty of fat so the interior remains juicy rather than drying out. They add just a bit of sauerkraut on the bottom - in this case what seems to be quick pickled cabbage, adding a very slight tang but not much other texture. On top of the patty there's some pickled red onion, offering a bit more in texture and taste than the sauerkraut, and finally a bunch of whole grain mustard and mayo, adding creaminess and additional moisture. It all comes together into a great bite. This is an excellent burger, and way easier to eat compared to the Classic. (5/5) Belgian Fries ($3.25) - These are thin fries cooked nice and crisp. The put a ton of salt and sugar on top, making this a fun salty and sweet snack. They go well with any of the dipping sauces they have, which include ranch, heifer sauce, ketchup, and we also requested curry ketchup. (5/5) I do want to comment that all the tables (we tried several) seem to always be super sticky and disgusting. This is even after I saw them wiping down the tables. Also, I found all the food to be a bit on the salty side, but I would still visit again. They definitely focus way more on the food than atmosphere or cleanliness. Bathrooms - One tiny unisex room, very damp inside and not very clean. read more

Heard of this place due to the fact it was on the show triple d.... With that being said I had high expectations, starting with the restaurant itself it was more of a walk up and order with limited seating inside with a patio with some hightop seats. The service was great we ordered exceptionally fast. The fires I think were the best part of the entire meal!! They were made fresh and perfectly seasoned with salt, the burger was a good sized patty and the skirted cheese on it had so much flavor. read more

I really loved the burger and fries I got at the Skirted Heifer. I went with the build your own with lettuce, tomato, pickles and the cheddar skirt on garlic focaccia plus the belgian fries. It was AMAZING. I personally loved just eating the crispy skirt of cheese all on its own! Fries were skinny and crispy. They do natural sodas, but I just opted for iced tea. On the food front is a home run. The space is SMALL. It is counter service so I didn't expect a giant place, but it is tight with a few tables that get absolutely overwhelmed with customers waiting in line or for their food (not pleasant when trying to eat). I also went on a weekday and had no idea that the High School kids basically line up for fries here in the lunch hour. I mean in the less than an hour here I think 2 dozen high schoolers came through). So I would only come back when school is not in service - trying to eat with dozens of backpacks in your face sucks. It is downtown so parking is on the street and metered. We had no problem finding a spot, but judging by the signs around at other businesses you should definitely be sure you are aware of when your meter is up. At any rate, it is an awesome burger. The ambience brings it down. read more

Big Hype, Big Disappointment! Saw Skirted Heifer on DDD and decided to grab a quick burger. They are located in an cool part of town with many dining options and good crowds on Thursday evening. We entered into a very small seating area. They seat maybe 25 people in very tight quarters. We ordered the cheese wrapped burger with lettuce, pickles, and tomatoes along with sweet potato fries. We asked to split the burger as we were not super hungry but wanted a small meal at a good restaurant. Our burger arrived and it looked like they threw it on the plate. The cheese, which I like was burnt. The burger dwarfs the bun, had no flavor and was dry. Thank God for their sauces. The sweet potato fries were hot, perfectly salted and packed with flavor. The food was a 3 / 5 and the burger was flavorless. Here is the rub! The tables were sticky, not one staff cleaned tables, trash of bused dirty tables in the 30 minutes we were there. The soda machine was filthy, cover with drink spray and napkins laid on the floor. The kicker was a mouse ran through the table area and was eating scraps on the floor. I realize that Skirted Heifer is not a gourmet burger joint, but tauted as a good solid burger and fries. They missed the mark. The dirty dining area, no attention to cleaning and tables that you stuck to have put them on a never return list. Obviously, the mouse in the eating area does not agree. read more

I saw this place on triple D and decided to give it a try. I happened to be in town looking for a good place for some lunch. The burger was not as good as I expected but good. The value was on point. The only thing stopping the place from being the best burger in Colorado springs is the lack of seasoning on the patty. Seasoning the patty on or before the grill. In my book that burger would be a 10. Good food all around. read more

Honestly, this place was okay. The space inside is super limited, if i remembered correctly, there were about four 4-tops and maybe three 2-tops with the bar in the back seating maybe 6? Outside there's more room, a bar top on both sides and a couple of tables. We sat inside and it was packed on a lunch time on Friday and felt very tightly packed. This place I think was on the map because of Guy Fieri and his TV show. But honestly, I think that this place is just okay. Despite the long lines it did move relatively fast, the customer service was good, and the people taking the orders are friendly and welcoming . Waiting for the food, It was probably about a solid 5 to 10 minute wait for the burger maybe pushing more towards the 10 minutes. I had gotten the Oktoberfest burger, special, and friends had gotten the skirt burger. My Oktoberfest burger was very mid, the pretzel bread was not very pretzel flavored or textured, was very below average. I would rate it as a 2.5. The sauce was decent! Better than most. But the main attraction, the meat, was disappointing. The the burger meat was very dry. Surprisingly, there was a lot of grease and oil that dripped out, but the actual patty tasted pretty dry and wasn't very juicy, making it not that enjoyable to eat. My friend had said that the cheese on the skirted burger was good but the patty wasn't as dry as I had complained about so maybe I just had an off prepared burger ‍ not as sure. Overall, the flavor was very underwhelming and dry patty making the burger experience, not pleasant. Honestly, I probably would try to go back one more time, but it didn't really sell me the first time. Food 2 stars Service 4 stars Wait time 3 stars read more

The food was ok-- but hardly worth the $27 price tag for two burgers and one order of fries. Parking isn't free and was its own side quest But the main issue was the lack of cleanliness. Our table was sticky, and the place was generally unkempt. If management overlooks what's visible to customers, what corners are being cut behind the scenes? In short: unless your taste runs to overpriced mediocrity and back-alley ambiance, this one's a hard pass. Some places invite a second chance. This isn't one of them. read more

This is a sight to behold, the skirted burger! A layer of crispy cheese is added to a burger and you wonder how in the world you'll get the whole thing in your mouth.... Well, you'll have fun trying! The burger meat was perfectly cooked, the ingredients really complimented it, and the sauce.... Amazing. This was the burger of the day, the General TSO burger with sweet and sour delicious sauce. The service was great, and helped us make the decision, the guy behind the counter said it's his favorite burger, so we had to have it. It did not disappoint. I would definitely order this again. The ambiance was ok, small space, and while the seats were not super comfortable, we didn't mind because we ate those burgers so fast, there was not time to worry about seating. Will definitely make it a point to eat here next time I'm in the area. I wonder what burger combinations they will come up with next!? read more

It's hard to find a burger place that is really above and beyond. Too many burgers places nowadays just put a lot of weird toppings on a patty and thinks that that makes it unique and special. So glad that the Skirted Heifer is not like this. The place is really intentional on the the flavors and combination of toppings. It really shows when I took my first bite. It takes a lot for a burger to impress me but man my burger was truly amazing. I got the #3 with fries. Man, I can still remember the flavors! One of best burgers that I've had in a long time. The place itself is pretty simple and basic but really you would go there for the food. read more

One of my favorite burgers in Colorado Springs. The skirted cheese is so unique and something I've never seen before. A go-to place if you want a mouthwatering meal.

After riding our dirt bikes some buddies and me stopped by for lunch. My friend that lives in CSPG had heard it was a great burger place. We stopped by and we were not disappointed. I had to try their namesake burger, the Skirted Heifer. Any burger with cheese hanging out from the bun is gonna be good. I had an order of fries with it and the whole meal was excellent. I had their beer mustard and fresh jalapenos and while it was a messy burger, it was a killer messy burger. The staff was extremely friendly and the whole place just had a friendly cozy vibe to it. All three of us thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience. I'll definitely go back when I'm in town. read more

Sorry, not for me. I asked for well done and received rare and no substitutes for French fries. I've always wanted to try it and I did.

Was it good? Yes! Is it all it's hyped to be? I don't really think so. It's a good burger with some extra cheese and crispy fries on the side. It caught my eye because it was on TV and Guy Fieri ate here. I got the classic skirted heifer with caramelized onions instead of raw onions. The sauce was great, the burger was cooked how I like, and the fries were okay. The garlic focaccia bun wasn't anything special, couldn't even taste the difference from a normal bun. And the skirt was good, it's just melted cheese and I know how melted cheese tastes like. Overall it was a fun meal and I would come back here--but it's your standard burger with fries place. The service was great and the workers were friendly. The place is also small so just be aware if you're planning to bring a big party! read more
