We have eaten here a couple of times in the past. The town of Salida is a couple hours from where we live and we don't go there a lot. Every time we do go to the 50 Burger though it's good. Very consistent in all aspects of a restaurant; food taste, presentation and speed. The service is good. Although you order at the counter like a fast food place they bring the food out to your table. There is plenty of seating. The restaurant is always clean and inviting. Salida is a small town compared to many places in Colorado. So the competition may not be as much as say if they were in Denver but if they were there they would still shine because they're just that good. The burgers are very tasty, the fries are great, a large fry will feed two people easily. The shakes are really good. Just like in the past they come out with a full glass plus the remainder of shake in the stainless mixing cup. It's well worth the stop if you're in town and hungry. read more

Salmon ramen bowl, kimchi, chocolate milkshake - all great! Especially after a long day of driving, this was perfect. Staff were quick and so nice! read more

50 Burger - Salmon ramen bowl. Sooooo good! The salmon was perfect! - Burgers Near Me - Salida, Colorado

Service was great. The food was so good. We had a southwest burger with corn salsa ... was the special. Large portion size and was able to split the meal. The onion rings were amazing. I'd like to try a milkshake next time. Highly recommend! read more

Great burger spot in Salida, it's worth going somewhere outside of downtown. I know I try to eat in the adorable downtown area as much as I can but really enjoyed "branching out" (just 5 min down the road haha). It's counter service and self seating. We ordered the Yardbird (fried chicken sandwich - perfectly crispy, juicy, generous piece of chicken, perfectly buttered toasted bun, decent house made pickles), Big Zach (great char taste on the burger), garlic rosemary fries (STAR of the show, lots of fresh garlic - including full cloves, which were surprising but yummy, perfect amount of rosemary), a root beer float and a banana shake. Highlights: excellent fried chicken, char taste burgers, garlic rosemary fries, fresh and generous shakes (share with a friend!). Will be back during my next long stay in Salida! read more

Stopped here after a snowmobiling excursion! The staff here were all really friendly so that always makes the experience better. Nice spot with plenty of seating inside. They have plenty of burger options and they were very tasty the different burgers we got. I'd definitely stop here again over the other burger joints. The tenders could've been crispier but the flavor was great. Really really good fries here too! I'd recommend this spot! read more

We ordered the rodeo, the boss, small side of fries, and a coconut chocolate shake. The burgers were pretty good, fairly average but tasty. The fries were good and the shake was delicious and the star of the meal, but definitely overpriced. Side Note: The building is without a doubt an old McDonalds. read more

Order at the counter and they'll bring you out your food. If you're having an adult beverage, they'll bring that out to you as well. The person behind the counter working the cash register was very nice, patient with our questions, and just had a pleasant demeanor. Ditto for the woman working the bar. I had their sweet potato wedges (great sized portion) and their Uptown chicken reuben sandwich. It was great and the flavors blended nicely. The inside is a bit generic, but that's just the way it is. I'm thinking it's a repurposed McDonalds and they did that well. Folks were friendly and we didn't feel like outsiders. I'd definitely stop by again when we're in the area. read more

We stopped here for lunch on the way to Durango and considered it on our return trip, but found it closed. Yep, we liked it. But you guessed that. Compared to most all Front Range burgers, 50 Burger offers similar 2025 economy prices, but a massive upgrade in beef quality. Portion sizes dwarf what were expected. I grew up on a beef farm and give their burgers a big thumbs-up. Overall, things tasted more fresh--more real--than most urban spots or up the road in Byoona Vista. Three burgers, a fry, a shake, a coke, and a beer from Gunnison hit the spot for us. Right on target. Any demerits come from the time it takes from ordering to eating, but no importa overall. Salida has scads of dining choices these days. If you're in the mood for a burger, there's better than a 50% chance you'll be stoked here. read more

I'll start by saying that the food here is decent but not what I'd call good. If you order the burger ramen bowl with beef it's literally a burger pattie in the soup which doesn't really go well. The grilled chicken sandwich has what appears to be half of a chicken breast cut so it's thin. The biggest thing here is that though the food is decent it's EXPENSIVE. For. $15 burger or the $17 chicken sandwich and no sides to come with it plus a drink this is much more expensive than even 5 guys. Again, good but I don't think worth the prices here read more

Good service. We asked for a sample of their peanut butter milk stout and found it to be a very good beer. We got the sauerkraut bites as an appetizer. My companion got a salad with grilled salmon, which she enjoyed. I got a burger that was tasty and satisfying. She also got a boozy milkshake that she enjoyed. With tip, this was an $80 meal, but I'm not disappointed with the quality or quantity of the food. read more

Passing thru town.... Yelped Burgers in Salida.... Shared the special, a meatball sandwich, it was fine... not poor and not amazing... average for $15.00+, ordered a LARGE garlic Rosemary Fries... $7.00+. skinny fries with chunks of roasted garlic and minced garlic and rosemary... fine, not amazing. $28.00. Daughter got the Chicken Caesar salad $20.00 SIL got the Burger, $15.00 + The salad and burger and 2 waters = $35.00 Seemed expensive to us. Employees were nice and the establishment was clean. read more

Great service. Good burgers... so many options it's hard to choose. Loved the rosemary garlic fries and milk shakes. Good beer on tap. Kids welcome! read more

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! read more

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. read more

50 Burger - Their daily special. A brisket burger with Mac n cheese - Burgers Near Me - Salida, Colorado

First time here, recommended by my husband. Restaurant opened promptly at 12 noon and we ordered right away. I asked to bring fries out with the burgers because they normally send out fries first and I like them with my burger. Service was very good and several people checked on us. Staff was friendly and welcoming. Burgers were very good and cooked right. I would definitely stop here again for a great lunch! They also had milkshakes which looked good so will have to try next time I am in town. Restaurant was clean. I would imagine this is a great spot for families to hang out for dinner as well! read more

Food was hot, fresh. They messed up fries order but gave us refund and an extra order. Beer was very good. The chicken was 11/10. Bulgogi was 1/10. Hamburgers looked amazing. Service was pretty good; trainee was new bit of as trying hard. Had a Minnesota vibe read more

Poor customer service. 35 minute wait for a to go order. I sat watched my order sit on the counter for 20 minutes - when I asked for the order - I was told to be patient. When I pointed to my order- I was told that I am not better than anyone else waiting- mind you, the 9 groups of people who ordered after me got their orders. I wasn't being rude, was just asking for my order. Will not be returning. Honestly the food wasn't that good for any wait, let alone 35 minutes for cold over cooked burgers. The bartender was nice- even though she asked me four times if I wanted a beer while I waited for my order. Yes I did ask her for my order finally and viola--- it was done. Far better places in Salida. read more

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,). read more

This place had the worst fries I've ever had. They tasted like wood chips that's how small and very hard they were. I didn't realize this until I was back to my rental. My boyfriend said the same as well. It was highly disappointing. The sandwich I got was good as a partially redeeming aspect. It was grilled chicken with avocado. Aside from it falling apart trying to eat it, it was edible and tasty. I wouldn't be back based on the fries. I'm a huge fan of fries and when they aren't good or they're hard enough to bang on a table without breaking, that's not good. read more

Great burger and AMAZING staff. Special shout out to Dylan on the grill and the manager Erin. They give back to the community and support the high school kids. They have THE BEST shake in town. read more

Nothing special. Slow service and over priced. Burger seemed over cooked and fries were cold.

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. read more

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. read more

This was one of my favorite surprises! These folks make burgers a gourmet treat and self- service delivery simplae and easy to understand. Even the wine was good (& reasonably priced). If l lived in that town, it would be one of my local watering holes. read more

WAY OVERPRICED. Burgers have been over done every time. Somehow the buns are soggy and taste almost fishy as do the fries . The service is okay. A litty snobby and rude at times.Atmosphere is confusing and noisy. A cross between a Dairy Queen and a bad bar. Don't waste your money. read more

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 read more

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. read more

After getting past the sticker shock for price, I was amazed at how delicious everything was. This was the best burger and onion rings I've had since living in Colorado by far. The onion rings are the biggest I've ever seen and in conjunction with the chipotle dipping sauce, it was AMAZING! My friend ordered the rosemary fries and they were amazing too! I would absolutely come back and try more things on the menu! read more

No. Very expensive--even for Salida. I ordered 2 burgers well done and 2 milk shakes. $50. To-Go order. The burgers were rare, and the shakes only 2/3 full. . This was their 2nd try for me. I won't be back. read more

While exploring this area of CO we realized it was time for lunch and lo and behold we came upon 50 Burger. What a great space. While it was bus, the staff took orders quickly and there was plenty of seating. Everything we ordered was amazing and in large servings, and this is coming from a Texan. We will come back as often as we're in this area. So many choices of food and brew that it'll take us a while to sample it all and that's our intent. read more

For what this place is, it's a solid 4. Creative burger options. And lots of options at that. Juicy and good. We ordered the chili cheese fries. A little too many beans and not enough meat / flavor for my preference. read more

I visited the store about 8 month ago while visiting. The food was okay at best, service was borderline poor to abysmal. To noisy for me since there is nothing to absorb the sounds so everything echos horribly. And everyone in my party got food poisoning after eating there. So I would not tell or suggest people go there. read more
