It was the only place open but what a great experience! Deanna quickly knew what our gluten free son could order and we had the most amazing buffalo burgers! Portions are great, service was great & it was fun to look at all the decor. We all liked the vibe in there & are so glad we stopped! read more

The good- cool old school roadhouse vibe. Nice waitstaff. Fun place to drink. The food, however, can only be described as rough. Really rough. I had the green chile burger, which was okay. My husband had the buffalo burger and I had a hard time getting my sample bite down. My son had the tender ms and chips. The tenders were passable but the chips were the slightly stale broken ones from the end of the bag. In summary, I'd definitely drink there but would give the food a hard pass. read more

Still has that 70's era mountain bar atmosphere that has nearly vanished from Colorado mountain towns. Great variety of bar food! The fries are exceptional. Love the wings, hamburgers and cheesesteak. read more

Yay! They're back open and making those killer onion rings again. Glad they were able to reopen so quickly.

The best burgers around! Cheers type atmosphere. Good service. Love the history of the building, the location and owner! read more

Great little bar and restaurant! I stopped for a beer and then saw that Russ' Red Chili was "now in season"! How could I miss out on that? The beer was cold and the chili was delicious and hot. Can't go wrong with that. The service was attentive and friendly. The music on the jukebox was great too. read more

Stopped in here for a beer and small snack (sides) after riding all day. When we walked in the staff was immediately welcoming and put some tables together to accommodate our larger group of 6. The walls are covered with old photos of bikes and music legends-- I imagine everything on the walls dates to the original opening days... jukebox included. We got a couple rounds of beers, onion rings, waffle fries and sweet potato fries. The munchies were good and drinks delivered with a smile. Would recommend. read more

Awesome friendly bar. Food is good. The atmosphere is typical small town where everyone knows everyone.

Food is fresh and delicious! Wings are crispy, buffalo sauce has a good spice level. Cheeseburger is pretty big and you can tell the meat is fresh and it was very good! Kids pizza was a hit too. More than happy to return if we come through again! Very impressed! read more

Local color, passing bikers, and live blues music: what's not to like about this bar in the middle of a wide spot of the road through Florissant? Well, if you're addicted to MSNBC and looking for a premium glass of wine and Charcuterie board, you'd probably better keep driving. This is a beer and whisky joint serving up bar staples: some guy asked for almonds and was politely turned away. The friendly bartender Isabella pours a generous shot, and insures your beer never runs dry. The wings I had were perfectly well done read more

Great cheeseburger and fries. Nice bartender. Highly recommend stopping here for a bite.

I had an amazing experience at Thunderbird Bar! From the moment I walked in, the wild Wild West atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming. The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed without feeling rushed. read more

Locals place but felt welcome as an out of towner. Bethany is very witty and easy to talk too lol Fries and onion rings were very good. Asked Bethany to make me any cocktail with a few guidelines. I'm not sure what the drink was called but it was really good! read more

The staff is rude, only catering to locals, and ignoring those they don't know and the food taste like frozen food.

LOVE this bar. They have good food, good prices and GREAT people. It's how I met the people I know in this town. Which is part of why I moved here! The people! The staff is all friendly. Open mic, karaoke, poker, motorcycle runs, local bands! Horse shoe tournaments, bluegrass festival! I could list the pros all day about the bird. I have zero complaints about the place. LOVE YOU RUSS AND STAFF!!! read more

First time up in the high plains . Had driven haphazardly from Colorado Springs to cripple creek and was heading back on a Saturday afternoon .. happened to see this place and looked at its reviews ., Unpretentious. Dirt parking lot. Really really good cheese stream sandwich and onion rings .. friendly waitress .. stop here you won't be disappointed read more

Looking for a local place to eat and Thunderbird did not disappoint. Someone in a previous review wrote "smells of cigarettes and depression." I read that to the boys and we were all in Walked in, immediately served, asked what was good and she said, "It's all good! I'm the cook!" Great service and food was good! Will be back. read more

Local watering hole with a mountain mix of folks. Simple menu, simple times, cold beer. read more

Smells of cigarettes and depression.. The staff is decent at times but the old guys at the end of the bar give off predator vibe and no internet service. Old school for sure if that's what you're into... read more

We always stop at the Thunderbird Inn in Florissant, CO when we go to Breckenridge from the Springs. The food is good. We really like the wings, fries, burgers, and cheesesteaks a lot. But here is my problem: we were there this weekend, right in the middle of COVID rules, and NOBODY had on masks, and there was NO attempt made to socially distance tables. While we were there, several large groups came in, and nothing was done to limit contact. I would be happier if the staff would wear masks or at least PRETEND to care that we are in the midst of a pandemic. I know it is a rough-and-tumble biker bar kind of place, but everybody has equal responsibility for keeping us all safe. I would be scared to go back there unless they changed their protocols. read more

Great food, mountain type atmosphere, great service. We had hamburgers and French fries, the french fries were really great. Prices were reasonable. read more

So. Much. Fun. Bands are great. People are so nice! Drinks are pretty good too! read more

Great little neighborhood bar/cafe. It's nothing like you'd think just a locals place. But I like those kinda places to check out. The food was amazing and made to order. We both had the cheesesteak sandwich. I ordered Onion rings and sweet potato fries. They waitress said the portions are large may only want one. I said we wanted to try each. Was I glad we did. She was correct they were big but worth the waste. The sandwich was not your average either. It had real steak sliced up not normal thin crap. Don't be skeerd it's not dirty or creepy just down right good food read more

Nice diner on the highway. Friendly staff and good food. Visited the fossil banks and had time for lunch. A full experience!

We just went in there and just walked out. Bad customer service. The lady just stared at us didn't say anything, just looked at us, she could have said, "hi I'll be right with you or find a table and have a seat". Instead she just looked at us and didn't say anything. So we just walked out. read more

Best dive bar in Colorado, you can get Shawn's frozen pizza or a great! Burger and drink with the locals of Florissant. You might be sitting next to a rancher, gold miner, real estate broker or even a race car driver when you step up to the bar. The staff is super friendly and fun as all heck! If your ever driving by and think you might want a stop just do it! read more

Staying in town for a few days and this was the perfect stop on our way in. The burgers were amazing. Small town feel, everyone was very nice and felt right at home. read more

Loved the vibe... easy fast service.. prices are great for quick bite to eat...would go again anytime... One of the locals was playing his guitar and made for extra special atmosphere ... very family friendly recommend 100% read more

Dive/biker bar with great burgers. We stop in from time to time for a bite and a beer. There'll usually be a couple drunk people bickering about politics or whatever topic is in the news for the day, but so far no chairs have been thrown over our heads and it is free entertainment, so it's all good. read more

Best grilled chicken and sweet potato fries I have had in a long time! I also managed to trade a few fries for an onion ring or two from the person across the table. The onion rings were perfect. The chicken was cooked perfectly. The meal was perfect. Will definitely be returning to this place. read more

Perhaps my review is skewed due to sentimental reasons, but we can't always be objectie, right? My grandparents have a cabin right near Thunderbird Inn that my family visited every summer when I was young. The giant Thunderbird Inn sign illuminating the intersection of Teller County Rd. and the 24 always fascinated me. In my mind's eye I always pictured a roadhouse atmosphere with a jukebox and pool tables. Well, that's pretty much what it is. Just a good ol' jukejoint. This was the second time I'd been here, but first time in the day. The bartender was not very welcoming at first, but what does one expect in a place like this? Anyhow, she soon opened up her small town charm. The decor is cool. Lot's of Willie, lot's of old beer bottles and cans, and the odd anti-goverment, right wing conspiracy memorabilia. The jukebox has some classic country & rock as well as CDs of musicians that play T-Bird Inn. I think that is very cool of them to try to give their performers more exposure. read more

Tried this place for lunch the other day and was surprised at how good the food was! I had a very good burger and fries. I'm giving 4 stars because there are no beers on tap, which is not a big deal, but would be icing on the cake! read more

My husband and I enjoy this place. It can get a little loud on weekend evenings but during the week it's pet quiet. They don't have a huge menu, but the food is made to order and quite good. Their onion rings are large and super crunchy and we usually get some ranch dressing to dip (which is really good). Their staff is super friendly...good people. read more

GREAT venue, good vibe for a true "dive bar", but the food has gone downhill a little bit. We had burgers - one beef and one buffalo, asked for "medium" but they were both well done and dry. Go for the history and the scene, and hopefully the food quality will come back around to what it once was. read more

We as a family absolutely love this place! It has so much character and everyone there is very personal and friendly. We live in LG and are so grateful to have such a historic place to go to. The food is good, the drink selection is good and the entertainment they offer is great as well. read more

One of the better burgers I've ever had. Just passing through during a fishing trip and the Yelp reviews made it look like a place worth stopping by. Has a biker feel, lots of interesting stuff on the walls, and friendly folks. Recommend. read more

Hit the T Bird with my Vest friends on the way back from fishing. Crushed the double cheese burger and an IPA and it did not disappoint. Fries are bomb too. Passed on the Cottage Thundercheese, but there isn't a day that goes by when I don't regret not trying it. read more

Not a martini bar. Just a fabulous watering hole where everyone is welcome . And a home away from home for a few great fixtures who add character to the ambiance and will probably be there to greet you when you arrive.

He has great taste in music and food that is Shared with all who come through the door.

And I'm here to tell you We have the best jukebox this side of the Pecos! Don't ever hesitate to come in when we have live music , for any band You will find here is going to be awesome. We strive for consistent perfection here at the Thunderbird. Hee.. Tip: The bluegrass festival every year is something that you should not miss.

I know the name Thunderbird Inn makes you think big bad bike bar, but this was just a simple old town bar. The bar inside was nice... nice patio... some funny stickers on the wall, nice juke box. However this was all crushed by the lack of service. read more

This is a bar, first and foremost and during the busy times they have two bartenders that also wait tables. If you want something it's easiest to saddle up to the bar. It has a great atmosphere and with it's name you know it's biker friendly. A lot of vets stop through on their hgwy 24 ride. Their music venue is outside during the summer so you can sit outside and enjoy it or stay inside and just enjoy the music filtering in from outside. There's a horseshoe pit set up as well as a pool table. Mostly it has a lot of history. If you look at the floor you'll see some motorcycle scorch marks where, in their wilder past, they brought a bike in and burned down some tires. The pictures on the walls tell the story. Reasonable beer prices, all bottles or cans (no taps) and great finger food. One of the best burgers in the pass. A worthy stop whether you're heading to Colorado Springs or the Western Slope. read more
