Has a unique sauce that is more on the mustardy side, but I think it tastes great and goes will with the burger. The fries are excellent - one of those fries when you see them come out with that batter - you know they are going to be great. Atmosphere is great inside and out. Will continue to return and would recommend to anyone in the area

Fattened up after your hotel breakfast buffet of waffles and freeze-dried eggs? Oh No. Split "The Cheesus," the Signature Sandwich, with a friend. Three (3) slices of freshly baked sourdough bread. Top and bottom slices have melted white and yellow American cheese melted into them. Middle slice has been soaked in tomato soup. Counter service is very friendly and will bring your order to the table. Consider it a Cultural Experience. It's like eating Alligator or Mud Bugs in Louisiana. One must experience Big B's whilst visiting Idaho Springs. Outside this mountain village, Micky D's has very little to be concerned about.

This "$60 rib eye" had more nerves than a long tailed cat in a room fulll of rocking chairs. It was just bad quality meat. The asparagus very tough, and the loaded mashed potatoes looked old with "fresh toppings". Smoking Yards BBQ has much better meet for 1/3 of the price. When you charge $60 for a 16oz rib eye, people expect a $60 rib eye. Even if they are in the middle of nowhere. Glad I didn't order the $150 Bison tomahawk.

Of their ciders we had, my favorite was the hibiscus cider and the peach cider, but they also have a good selection beers if ciders aren't your thing. For food we got their Ruben and their Flat-iron Steak. The Ruben was awesome, the sauce was a bit on the sweeter side, but it tasted good while drinking the ciders. But the highlight for me was their flat-iron steak, its a simple cut but it was one of the best steaks I've had in recent memory. I'm not kidding when I say it was on par if not better than a a lot of the steakhouses I've been to, it was perfectly cooked and seasoned, and comes with a solid chimichurri sauce. TLDR: great local tavern with great food and good selection of drinks.

I especially loved that some of their meals had a full and half portion. Great idea for less food waste! They have a wide list of benedicts, breakfast foods, as well as lunch options for anyone's delight. I had the full cajun benedict and I was pleasantly surprised. It had great flavor and there was plenty of food. Really delicious. I also indulged in a bloody maria. It was very good, just a little too strong for me. Well worth the $11 if you like a strong mixed drink. The only real downside is they didnt have air conditioning going so the inside was just as hot as the outside. All in all, this spot is pretty great! Definitely recommend for brunch and a cocktail!

On each visit, we sat in the covered outdoor area, and the service has consistently been friendly and mostly quick, but never disappointing.
