    BLTA and sweet potato fries
    Melissa H.

    Walking in I was hit with an impressive stage to the right, spacious bar in the front and seating to the left and outside. We were greeted promptly and our drinks were to us within minutes. My BLTA was great and so were the sweet potato fries. My friend said her burger was good. This is a great place to stop after a hike or if you're driving the country side. Also appears that they have cool cover bands as well. Very clean and fair pricing.

    Unexpected! We went for a hike and decided to stop for lunch. The restaurant is really large and has a nice modern decor and beautiful views from the decks. Service is excellent- fast and friendly. We had onion rings and fried pickles for apps. Good ratio of breading to pickle/onion. The pickles were spears, not slices- but really good. We had Salmon Benedict- the hollandaise is NOT classic hollandaise- it's spicy- so if you don't like spicy or if you're craving hollandaise - it's not for you. It was salmon on what looked like crushed tater tots- but my friend ate all of it. Just know it's not a classic hollandaise. Wedge salad plus chicken- really great salad. Slap Yo Mama Cheesesteak- really delicious and classic cheesesteak. Birria Tacoa - really great- I love birria tacos and these were delicious and filling. Green Hatch Chili- it's really spicy, but has good flavor. Would return

    I would describe the Wide Open Saloon as an upscale biker bar, if that's a thing. It is definitely not a dive bar. It is nice and clean inside. The location is cool with nice views. It is fairly large and has a rooftop patio. However, it is more expensive than other biker bars. I do not think the nachos I got were worth $15 nor the drink for $16. They have live music and brunch on the weekends with bottomless mimosas and bloody Mary's. Still, the Wide Open is a great destination for a weekend ride. I've also been here for an event. They have a large room in the back that can be rented out for groups and they offer a bbq buffet. It was excellent bbq and service.

    I have driven by this place many times, now the mystery is over. Perfect place for motorcycle riding, rock and rolling Americans to eat some extra delicious food. Today I tried the Best Street Tacos I've ever tasted, they use like mozzarella cheese, and put it all together in a fried corn taco shell, Perfect combination with a rich flavor. They have beautiful moutain view from 2 patios, 2 stages for music, and best of all you can hear the Hogs starting up and reveing up in the parking lot. Like my kind of heaven!

    First time to this gigantic restaurant and live music venue. Decent beer selection with tap, bottles and cans. Really great food menu including pizza and burgers. Very attentive wait staff. Looking forward to my next visit

    GIRLS TRIP. Hello Denver, we were at the "Wide Open Salon". That they sing the "NATIONAL ANTHEM". What a great place for a patriot. BROOK and Joe we're so much fun. I MISSED TOD! SKOOL DAZE is always fun, it was great seeing Frank again. It was so special to see the deer across in the field, they welcomed us back to Colorado. I WOULD RECOMMEND

    Eggs Benedict other carnitas - but it's more like bbq pulled pork.
    Maria B.

    It's good for crowds and lunch after a hike. Lots of seating and quick service. The green chilling was delicious. Every dish has a twist to make it theirs - like the eggs Benedict comes on top of hash browns and the green chili has beans in it. It was good. If you like spicy heat then you'll love it.

    A popular after work place among the locals, and the place was recommended to me by a friend. I went for Saturday brunch right when they opened, and I was disappointed that they weren't serving the eggs benedict. Opted for an array of items (Cantina Burger, Smoked Ribeye dip, breakfast sandwich, and side of burnt ends). - The burger was solid and a bit overcooked; pretty much an average burger. - The ribeye dip was probably the best item we got. The horseradish sauce was not too overpowering and the dip did a really good job at bringing the entire dish together. - Breakfast sandwich was nicely salty and fatty but a bit small for my taste to be a standalone main dish. - Burnt ends, unfortunately, fell very short. It was super tough and not seasoned. The bbq sauce was too sweet and seemed to just cover up how bad the burnt ends were. Definitely would make any Texan cry. Staff were super friendly and very attentive to our pace. Also, the views from the top floor are definitely special.

    I went for the burger. And, it was worth my drive south from Denver without a doubt. I am hitting…read moreevery burger on the Westword best burger list and this place was next on that Sunday afternoon. Simplicity at its best. First of all, Mindy was my bartender and gave me flawless service, along with a great smile and background stories of the place and the patrons. She made my visit so much better. There wasn't any background music during my visit, but one could listen to Billy's (regular/legend in town) stories all day long. He chatted with a bunch of people who just came up to his table, and talked with Nancy at the bar in between. Small town charm at its best. Lots of topping sauces, but you didn't really need it for the burger. Great as it was, and I ordered the double. Option for pickles and onions that come on the side. They had Voodoo Ranger in the bottle for me also. I got the whole lowdown of the four owners of the place over 78 years (the present one even stopped by), and, if I wasn't told by Mindy, there is history ALL over the walls. Cool bar setup, with a good-sized dining room. The place was like a merging of a diner and a small town bar, and was absolutely perfect. Don't forget. No French fries offered, and cash only! The next time I head to Colorado Springs, I might have to change my way down or back up to get this thing again, and experience the place again. The burger was incredible, I highly recommend the place overall, and see you there...

PRO's: ++ Staff is super friendly, welcoming and is used to visitors from all over Denver visiting, and their smiley faces really show that! ++ Although the dining room is small and fills up fast, turnover is quick and so is the service. ++ Food is decent, comes out fast and hit the spot when passing through. ++ Pricing is on point and cheap - our 2 burgers and sodas were under $20 with tip. CON's: -- Parking is very limited and fills up fast. Even down and around fills up this fast, so come prepared to hoof it. -- Bud's is a no-frills establishment - with only burgers on the menu (with no fries damnit!) - so if you're looking for more variety, this is not your place. -- My burger was significantly dry, and while I'm not a huge fan of ketchup on a burger (makes no sense, i knowwww), I dunked that baby into something to make it less dry. I don't know if I'd go out of my way to come here again, but happy to have tasted a Colorado classic!

The only thing I didn't like as much was the hashbrowns, they were just okay. I also ordered the jalapeño bread French toast (recommended by our server). I love jalapeño flavor, but I remember thinking it sounded kind of weird for French toast... but I'm glad I tried it because it was so good. They make their breads in-house and I would definitely get that again. I also tried some of my friend's banana bread and that was really delicious too. Didn't get a chance to try these since we had to get to the hot springs soon so thought it's too much food to finish in time, but they had a French toast flight and a Benedict flight, which I've never seen before.

Because of the aforementioned altitude sickness, I did not get to enjoy but a few bites of my sandwich there but had it later and find it to be a delicious, hefty sandwich. The fries were very good! I was jealous of my friends french toast as it looked delicious. She reported it was. As well as the bacon. Much like Idaho Springs itself, this is a cute spot. Definitely worth stopping in, as well as visiting the other businesses in their downtown area. Parking is scarce, but there is both a free parking lot, as well as paid street parking.
