    Vegan burger with sweet potato fries and my husband had a steak with green beans and mashed potatoes.
    Léa Z.

    We love this place for our date night! The chef and his team are very friendly, professional and the service is great. I usually get the salad with the black bean burger or the veggie burger. I am so glad they offer vegan options and are very accommodating.

    Dirty table that could have been wiped down when it was cleared.  It sat like this for more than 30 minutes after we took our table.

    We stopped in here for lunch today, which was our first visit to Wild Ember Kitchen. The owner did an exellent job of renovating the building, which used to be a bank (I think). Everything looks new. The service was okay, but bordered on the slow side. The restaurant was not busy, so I can find no reason to give 5 stars for having to wait 10 minutes for a server to bring us menus and take our order. It took another 20 minutes for our food to come out of the kitchen when there was only ONE other table seated and already eating their food. I ordered the Caesar Salad with the addition of Salmon. The salad had the right about of dressing, and they were generous with the croutons and parmesan cheese. The problem was that the salmon was burnt to a crisp on the thin end, and the cook didn't bother with the 5 seconds it would have taken to remove the skin from the fillet. My husband ordered the Steak & Blue Cheese Salad and had the foresight to ask for some salad dressing on the side - had he not asked, it would have only had a drizzle of balsamic glaze over the steak and the salad would have been dry (not making this up, this is according to our server). The other issue has to do with the cleanliness of the tables. We were seated next to a table that had been cleared, but had remnants of food on the table. It was like that when we sat down and wasn't addressed until someone who worked there noticed me taking a picture of it. It would have taken less than a minute for someone to wipe down the table instead of forgetting about it for over a half hour. Bottom line, the food makes it worth trying Wild Ember again. I just hope that they pay attention to cleaning as time marches on.

    Sat in the bar and our waitress was great. Super friendly and made an awesome recommendation on the pulled pork tacos. Right amount for heat to flavor ratio. My wife had the cheeseburger and gave me a taste. Was delish for sure! Neat ambiance and a great addition to downtown colfax.

    Great regional beer.

    Brand new place with great service, amazing cheeseburgers, and an upscale and classy ambiance. The cheeseburger is the best I've had around here, and their zesty fry sauce is great! The manager, Shelby, is the sweetest person you'll meet and is always smiling.

We did not know that you had to go order at the bar until somebody told us so we did just that. My husband was attempting to purchase a meat meal with fries as his side, but someone from behind the bar immediately swooped in and told him he wasn't allowed to get fries. My husband isn't a "fancy side" guy and he only wanted fries so he pushed the issue a bit but the woman told him no, he's unable to do that and he has to stick to the sides that are listed. He Finally decided to go with purchasing the size separately and doing the meats separately. I've worked in Customer Service for many years, and that was a fairly abrupt encounter which set the tone off for our meal. I had looked at the menu online, and it was an old post from February, and it being August the prices were pretty expensive. Nevertheless, since we drove out there and wanted to try it, we stayed. I ordered the chicken cordon bleu sandwich. The chicken was tasty and I really liked the bun, but it was a small dollop of honey mustard. Additionally, I ordered a side of macaroni and cheese, and I'm no connoisseur, but I do enjoy trying macaroni and cheese dishes at different locations and usually enjoy all I've ordered Perhaps it was an off batch, but it was not flavorful whatsoever. I even had my husband try it, and he was unimpressed. Very bland, could not taste any cheese, and it was mostly starchy/noodle tasting. He ordered the pulled chicken and the brisket and a side salad. Even with the sauce, the brisket really wasn't that flavorful. The ranch for the fries was more on the tangy side (not buttermilky) and. It of my preference, so I went with ketchup. Overall, we spent $78 for the two of us. (Didn't order an fancy beverages - just water and an iced tea).

I have to say it's one of those college bars that has such a unique personality. If you go in, make sure you bring a marker of some sort because you want to leave your mark behind just like everyone else has. Literally the whole place is marked up from the tables to the cups up to the fans. The bathroom doors. We all took part in this tradition and marked areas as well. My daughter ordered a unique drink that came with a picture and an upside down vodka drink. She couldn't finish it but it was quite delicious. They also have some food options if you're hungry. Prices were not bad in the bartender was really nice. This bar is located very close to campus or somewhat on campus. If you're ever in town, you definitely need to visit The Coug.
