    double cheeseburger meal
    Olivia H.

    always super kind and great food every time !! love the atmosphere. lots of cool decorations and lots of options

    Closed at 5:45 on a Friday when they advertise 11-7.

    Sure wish they were open even half the hours they say they are open. Came many days in a row and was disappointed every time because they are NEVER open? I am starting to wonder if they closed permanently?

    Smoked turkey sandwich.

    Holy moly was the food giant and delicious. Going home from ice climbing, hubby and I were starving. The hunger shack is a take out window, but they have a cozy heated room to sit and eat in. The giant pile of food that arrived was overwhelming, but I managed to eat nearly the whole sandwich (and barely made a dent in the fries). Sandwiches come with fries and a drink and average about $15. 100% would recommend.

    Ewww They had their dog back there licking the ice cream machine. I hope they get checked out or inspected for food quality. Ew first I asked if this sandwich was good, maybe I got a piece of effort to say yes. The fish was frozen and tasted funky had two bites and threw the rest away. 17$ wasted and very dirty I don't recommend

    Ice cream

    I can only speak to the fries and ice cream, but I can speak very highly of both. The fries are perfectly crispy and seasoned, and the ice cream really hits the spot (even on a cold and windy day). COVID things: the outdoor windows and seating make this place feel very safe and easy.

    Oh my!!! Great decision to stop and grab lunch ( passed it and turned around to go back) . The line was a bit long and you have to have a bit of patience but the food is definitely worth it. They serve all sorts of BBQ choice.... Ribs, pulled pork, brisket and all the bbq sides..... mac and cheese, cowboy beans, fries , onion rings. There are also several sandwiches to choose from.... Rueben, steak, poor boy,Philly and more. We ordered a cheddar cheeseburger and added grilled onions and Hatch green Chili's. The burger was juicy, and very flavorful..... grab a lot of extra napkins! Lol... no, really! : p We also ordered the smoked walleye sandwich.WOW was it good! Fresh fish with the perfect smoked flavor and smeared with a great house made sauce. Both the cheeseburger and fish sandwich were served with fries and a drink. The fries are yummy.... Crispy and seasoned. There are also choices of hard ice cream and floats. The perfect stop on your way through town if you don't live up this way! Stop here and eat some great food! Can't wait to come back !!

    Chicken strips and fries
    Meralyn W.

    This place is either really good or excellent when we come back from Vail, they're relatively quick but their quality is amazing. Super hot, tasty, seasoned food, the fries are incredible, chicken strips, Reubens, and burgers are so good and they have soft serve and ice cream too with bathrooms nearby in a separate building. Patio tables outside too if it's not a cold and windy day!

    Watch for this as you head onto85 in Salida. That will get you to the hunger shack and a great meal

    #3 double rocky MT burger was fantastic. Love places like this over chains. If it was not so far away from Texas I would come back soon

    Very disappointing, the chicken sandwich is a frozen chicken patty, on a crappy bun with old lettuce. The nastiest bathrooms out back.

    Amazing burger - service was quick and efficient. Don't think I waited 5 min for food. Has really cool small town vibe with friendly staff.

    Our 20th visit over the years…read more The atmosphere makes you feel right at home. It feels just like sitting at your grandma's kitchen table. To make it even better, our server was incredible. The food here is spectacular. The carne asada plate is packed with deep, savory flavor. The chili relleno and bean burrito are comforting perfection. The gratis 3 alarm salsa chips pack a powerful kick. The drink menu steals the show. The Calaca Negra beer is thirst quenching nectar. You must order the Margarita Catrina--it is completely insane! Do not miss this local gem when you are in town.

    BLUF: very good food at reasonable price. Friendly servers…read more Went with a large group on a Wed night. I think we ordered literally everything on the menu, and to a person we liked what we received. One of the few places that makes a really good Horchata drink, so if you like those order one. It wasn't that lively in there, but it was a Wed so not a big night out for most people. Their steak meals were a clear standout - everyone liked everything, but those got raves. Also, bacon-wrapped shrimp were great - good sized and grilled so they still had a snap to them. The downsides: it took a long time for food to come out, although some of that probably can be attributed to us being a big group. That said, several waited for, and eventually had to ask for, the tortillas that went with their meals. Our servers spoke little english, so sometimes communications were difficult, but ALWAYS friendly. I would definitely go back.
