I work at the Texan and have lived in a neighboring community my entire life. The Texan is the…read moreoldest and longest lasting bar in Rifle. At one time it had developed a reputation for fights and other nonsense. Today it is a very clean and comfortable place to be with many friendly regulars, and a great staff! Not trying to brag but I personally feel it is overall a great place to relax, play pool, shuffle board, fuseball and listen to pretty much any kind of music you want although many locals prefer country and southern rock, or old time rock and roll. To the modern screaming stuff and rap, however, all are welcome to a point. It is mostly an older crowd but we have great young people that frequent us as well. It is a place where rude and violent behavior are not tolerated. The bar tenders are friendly and capable. I hope to see many more people from all over the world visit us. You can have a drink and order food from any restaurant on third Street and have it delivered. Come visit us and see for yourself Leta Mcdaniel

I have mixed feelings about this place. My first visit was great and the 2nd (and last) wasn't. My…read morefriends and I were in town 2 weeks ago and were staying at the Hampton Inn. We all had been up since 3am, boarded a very early morning flight and then drove for 4 hours. We were all in desperate need of a drink, darts and a juke. Yelp pointed us to the Texan and off we went. Our first visit was on a Friday late afternoon and our bartender was Jill. She was super sweet and very attentive. We played some pool, cranked some Stones and had a few brews followed by some tequila shots. We stayed a few hours and all was good. Our second visit was on Sunday. Our intention was to do some shopping, but apparently the whole town is closed on Sunday. Me being from the big city wasn't aware of this! So instead of shopping, we hit the only place that was open - The Texan! It was around 2:30 or so and had an appt in neigboring Glenwood Springs so we couldn't stay too long. We started off with a few cold ones and some pool. We then decided a few shots couldn't hurt. I chose Crown, the bff chose tequila and the other bff had SoCo. We also decided Katy Perry wasn't our type of music and put $5 in the juke. On went Rush, Black Sabbath, Stones, Aerosmith, Danzig, Pantera, Slayer...you get my drift. Somewhere between Danzig and Rush some woman decided to put $10 in the juke, override my tunes and announce "Enough with the puppy killing music!!" WTF?! Do we look like satan worshippers?! What did she choose?? More Katy Perry, Pharrel and some other bubble gum music. This was obviously work by a local. We decided it was time for us to leave after that rude ass remark. We were dropping cash and were just starting to have a good time. I get it if not everyone likes our kind of music, but save the fucking remarks and don't be an asshole and override every single song. It's a bar for fucks sake. Star ratings: The bartenders were gems, it's clean and they have a good digital juke that had good 1cr songs and being open on a Sunday is a definite plus!

We had just about given up hope when El Talatio loomed up ahead with an OPEN sign beaconing us over. Honestly we had actually already crossed the road to go to the Chinese restaurant when we saw it. You just can't beat being able to have this view! So glad we did! Sopas and Tacos FTW!

I have never paid so much for so little food and drink in my life $133 before tip and I tipped 20 bucks that is the most expensive Mexican restaurant in the USA. I'll see why I was the only one at the bar. They are ripping people off $24 for a short glass. Lmao everyone should leave a review and teach them a lesson stop ripping people off that is not the American way.

I ordered an unsweetened iced tea despite most restaurants wanting you to purchase alcohol. My server was Tricia. She was great. I got the new appetizer, Corn Fritters with a spicy ranch dip. Definite comfort food. They were running a smokehouse special of 1/2 rack ribs + a 2nd meat for only $22. It includes two sides. I got the corn on the cob and a side salad. A large piece of Texas toast is included. 1/2 rack was 5 ribs and my 2nd meat was bbq chicken. There were several sauces available for the meats. I was able to get oil & vinegar which is rare for a dressing. The corn sat in a small saucer with melted butter. Nice touch. The wooden skewer made it easy to salt & pepper it, then pour the butter over all. So despite this feast, I opted for the Chocolate Cream Pie. A tall rich pie on an Oreo cookie crust. Yummy. They offer a 2% discount to avoid a card fee if you paid cash, like I did. So a great meal + tip for only $48.

I'm thinking the food is not smoked onsite and may in fact be sourced from another company. I've never seen pulled pork served presauced (similar to something you'd buy at a grocery store).

She was very friendly and worked quickly. We started with the garlic knots which was a generous portion and came out hot. I wish it had more garlic flavor but we still enjoyed it. For my lunch I had the meatball hoagie and my colleague had a build your own thin crust pizza. We both enjoyed the lunches and left beyond full. Overall, not a bad spot in a town that doesn't have much. The restaurant was clean and the menu was large. We would come back again.
