Mining Claim 1899 Saloon

Friendly people and great food! What a great place to stop for a drink and a burger! I might add, one of the best green chili burgers I've ever had!

We were in Victor to see the troll (but happened to come on the Donkey Derby Days in Cripple Creek), so we needed somewhere easy to eat, 1899 Saloon was it. It is truly a bar (saloon) that has some food. It was REALLY busy the Saturday we were in with all 6 tables full and 80% of the barstools filled. The one waitress worked her butt off! Their menu is on a chalkboard at the front of the place to the right when you walk in - I tell you this because it is the only menu in the place and if the very busy waitress or another patron doesn't let you know you will set forever waiting for a menu. Easy menu, basically burgers, chicken fingers and a variety of appetizers (fries, onion rings and other fried goodness). I would say they could make it easier on themselves with paper menus in a plastic holder on the table for the food and beer, but they seem to like their way. I opted for the green chile burger and onion rings, my hubby wanted the burner burger minus the onions, but apparently you can't ask to hold an ingredient so he had to order it as a build your own (seemed way harder, but it was their policy). Things to know - lettuce, tomato and onion was extra and you have to ask for it - totally missed that on the bottom of the chalkboard. Burgers had a great flavor and the onion rings were perfect. We also got a couple Goose Island IPAs (they had several things on tap, but no beer menu and the waitress was really busy and I knew the goose neck tap was goose island so I made it easy). Parking is street side and even on a busy Saturday there was plenty. Pay at the register up front (by the menu). Solid place.

Great place to stop on the way to the ice castles. Great chatting with locals. Good food! The walls need a cleaning and refresh.

Friendly staff. Casual vibe. Food was OK, although my friend really enjoyed his burger.

This place was okay. Visiting Victor yesterday and found this place on Yelp, so based on reviews we stopped in. It definitely has that great local bar feel! The ladies working were very nice and friendly, the place had a chill vibe and lots of drinks waiting behind that full bar for you! The food menu is up by the bar and then the staff comes to your seat to take your order instead of having a paper or table menu to check out. We both ordered burgers based on all recommendations. Hubby ordered the Bacon Bleu Burger with fries and myself just a regular cheeseburger with fries. Didn't ask how we'd like them cooked but that's ok, they came out probably medium and juicy. Both burgers were fine, pretty greasy but i loved the buns. The fries had good flavor but were pretty limp and floppy to where i ate maybe 5 of them. Definitely needed more time in that deep fryer, I was super disappointed since I was really craving fries. I guess I just wasn't wowed, and maybe had too high expectations based on everyone else's reviews of the place.

The kitchen puts out some great burgers! I love the dining areas inside and out. The staff was hard working and courteous. Victor is one of my favorite places in Colorado and this is a great place to stop for food.

Friendly staff, fun atmosphere and they have a great burger! It is also a plus it is veteran owned.

You'll be damn glad you found this place if you make it this far, and you'll need some refreshments before heading back to wherever you came from.

We were staying at the Victor hotel and looking for food on a Saturday night. This was the only place that was open in town. All the fried goods we ordered were cooked absolutely perfect. They have burgers and a few other items too but we had burgers earlier in the day so we stuck to appetizers. Our food was brought out two by two and everything was piping hot. Although she was the only one working, our bartender/server was friendly and attentive to us the whole time. She did great! There were a few other couples in the restaurant seemly having a great time and enjoying themselves. The prices are perfectly reasonable and we are glad we found this gem.

Quaint little spot and the service was nice. Food wasn't amazing but it was good. If you're looking for a quick bite to eat in a local setting, this is a good choice.
