Fantastic Food & Outstanding Service!We had an amazing experience at 50 Burger in Salida! Jennifer and Christie provided top-notch service, making us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. The turkey burgers were absolutely delicious--juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The drinks at the bar were excellent, and the overall atmosphere captured the charm of a true mountain town gem.If you're in Salida and looking for great food, friendly service, and a laid-back vibe, this is the place to be (even if you're just driving through). Huge thanks to Jennifer and Christie for making our visit so enjoyable. We'll definitely be back!

We stopped by 50 Burger in Salida while waiting for an oil change, having spotted it on the drive in from Gunnison. It seemed like a good spot to grab lunch with the family.The menu had plenty of tempting options, but I went with the Southwest Burger after hearing it was their special. I paired it with Garlic Parmesan fries, while my wife and son opted for salads, and our two youngest ordered from the kids' menu (a burger and chicken fingers).My Southwest Burger was tasty, though a little messy. The real highlight, however, was the Garlic Parmesan fries - absolutely phenomenal! The portion was huge, easily enough for three people to share. My wife and son weren't thrilled with their salads, but the younger kids devoured their meals.Overall, I'd definitely stop by again if we're in the area. Next time, I'd skip the salads and try something else. I definitely recommend it, especially for the burgers and fries!

I know a lot of people love this place, but I hate it. I came here 5 years ago, and wasn't impressed. I came back today to give them another chance. I remembered they were very expensive, so I prepared myself for that, and went in. I ordered a burger, fries, and a soft drink: $25. That's a lot, but it's an expensive mountain town, and a competing burger joint in Buena Vista has similar prices, so whatever!!! Next, I will say that their portions are absolutely absurd. I'm a big dude, and I can eat a lot, but I could not finish all my food. My leftovers went in the trash because leftover burgers and fries are disgusting. My burger was all flashy and no taste. Stacked so high that it was impossible to eat. The fries are too skinny for me. Maybe you like skinny fries, but I don't. The service was friendly and my food was cooked fresh, however, my burger was served on a metal tray, so it was cold. Lastly, I know this is subjective, but the music was absolutely terrible, and the TV was playing a disgusting boxing match. In conclusion: 50 Burger is overpriced, unreasonably enormous portions, bad music, crappy entertainment, and good service. Do not recommend.

Got take out. Had warming bags in car...Husband did not check food in restaurant. The 'burgers' were burned and had a circumference of approximately 3". Took up 1/3 of the bun. Sorry I did not go in person B4 ordering for take out (was just out of hospital) because the pics look great. But any kitchen that would allow that travesty of a dinner is not to be trusted (for anything,).

Very expensive. Fries were over cooked, my "well done" burger was pink meat. Told the waiter but she said she was sorry. The chocolate shake was just chocolate ice cream Don't think I will return

A great burger spot right on hwy 50 in Salida. The restaurant is clean and warm, the food was amazing! It was a little pricey but well worth it. The burgers were delicious, the onion rings were huge, and the fries were perfectly cooked. The food took a while to come out, but perfection takes time. Well worth the time and money spend, we'd go back again.

Tasty burgers, boozy milkshake are amazing, regular milk shakes made the old fashioned way. Also very good chicken sandwich and salads. Made from scratch not bought premade.

The service was excellent! Give those people a raise. The chicken sandwich was very good! My only complaint was it had no flavor, no seasoning it was so plain. It was nothing special. I was a little disappointed but the Garlic rosemary fries were good. My husband had a Burger and said he would try something else. However, he did like his Blue Berry Milk Shake. We will give it another shot!!!!

What a gem of an eatery! Super friendly staff and the rodeo burger was out of the world. Topped off with a black cherry shake, made to perfection in the "old school tradition". The vibe at the restaurant was chill. I felt very comfortable dining alone and could have spent more time there with another beer but the burger and shake had me beyond full. Will be back next trip up to the area.

Used to live in Salida and ate here in the past. Came back to check it out while back in town visiting for several days.It has gone down hill. Prices went up AND fries no longer come with a burger meal. Pay extra for fries. Burger is small for the $14.75 price. Tried the garlic fries side order. Fries were small and therefore hard to handle. They were limp and not fresh.Very disappointed after eating here during my time living in Salida. There is another place just down the road I tried again also, and it is better than 50 Burger for the money.
