Our group each had one of "The Classics". Beef stroganoff tasted okay but very little meat.. Given the word "classic", I was expecting long thinly sliced beef , this was small chunks of beef. When I see "Classic Fried Chicken" on a menu, I would expect crispy pan fried bone in chicken... like what my mom made. This Fried chicken consisted of two roundish chunks of boneless white meat breaded in bread or corn meal, picture "shake--n-bake" consistency. Truly tasted like eating cheap frozen breaded boneless chicken. No flavor. No seasoning , not even salt/pepper. The gravy was pale yellow.. NOT at all like CLASSIC freshly made/home made pan chicken gravy, with chunks of the crispy fried pieces from the pan . This seemed more like something out of a jar.. I subbed seasonal vegetable instead of mashed potatoes. The only thing we ordered that was delicious, Cauliflower and Romanesque . Although when asked prior to ordering , the server said the seasonal vegetable was Romanesque, I was surprised that it was a blend with cauliflower...mainly cauliflower, very few Romanesque The fish and chips looked and tasted like Long John Silver's fast food. Two chunks of fish batter fried. The chips seemed like bulk frozen fries. The person who ordered the fish/chip ate very little of it. The bar drinks were good, on their own, those would be 4 stars. , I ordered the mocktail Butterfly Lemonade. It was a lovely shade of lavender, but was like drinking pure bottled lemon juice mixed with some sparkling water. Zero sweetness, even though simple syrup was the second ingredient stated in the ingredients. We sent that drink back. Server was very nice. Outdoor seating was pleasant.Those elements would be 4 star. read more

While it's been almost impossible to find wine in Salida older than 2023, and for red wine that isn't great, we found a fantastic Rioja at Currents tonight just old enough to pair with dinner. We split Wagu steak, shrimp, loaded baked potato and a salad, and of course the double fudge brownie for dessert. All were fabulous, by the way, but the best part of the night was Shelby. She was fantastic, attentive, funny, and really connected with us. It's great to find a restaurant where the food is better than you'd hoped, and we have very high hopes, but when the wait staff makes you not want to leave, you know you've found that hidden diamond. Thanks Shelby! We love you!! read more

Currents Steaks & Seafood - Wagu steak, loaded baked potato, deep fried shrimp, side salad with honey mustard dressing - Steakhouses Near Me - Salida, Colorado

Maybe it was an off day, but we felt cheated by this place. The salmon was so under-cooked we had to send it back, only for it to be returned still undercooked and inedible. Nothing tasted good - not just the salmon, but also the fried cod sandwich, which was slathered in melted cheddar cheese (rarely a good idea). Even the burger was meh. There was one woman manning both the bar and the tables, poor thing, she was working her butt off and managed to keep a smile on her face. Definitely overpriced for what we got. Boo. read more

Quickly becoming a Salida favorite of mine. Aside from the great food and cozy menu options, the atmosphere is also warm and cozy. Service was pretty good given that there were maybe 2 servers plus a bartender for a full house. The French dip was excellent, jus was a little salty but so flavorful. It'll be hard to get something new next time, but a good menu awaits. It's also fun that they have several weekly specials, usually one "special" seafood entree, burger, soup, and dessert each week. read more

My compliments to the chef!! The staff was very sweet too. Everything was absolutely delicious! We were a group of 4 and not one of us was disappointed in any of it. The lobster queso is fantastic, the beef stroganoff is life changing, try the espresso martini (next time I'll try the chocolate martini) and we decided to try the chocolate chip milk cake. None of us thought the cake sounded exciting but we were so impressed by the everything else that we decided to trust that the dessert would be good too and we were wrong! The cake was incredible! I will go back every time I'm in town! read more

We arrived into Salida for one night and we were looking for a place to eat. We saw this place and decided to give it a shot. It's a very laid back atmosphere. Open seating and since we came later in the night we had a choice of tables. I ordered the fried chicken platter which is a breast of chicken with panko breading on mashed potato's with gravy on top. I got it with Nashville hot sauce. I thought it was average. The flavor was bland if not for the hot sauce which they charge an extra dollar for. Again, cheesy business practice. My wife got a salad and she said it was average too. Service was too pushy in the beginning and then too relaxed during the meal. You can't find a server if you need something. I ordered a Diet Coke and for me that's like a wine so if the carbonation to sweetness ratio is off it can ruin my whole dining experience, which happened. And the server wasn't in a hurry to tell me the soda dispenser wasn't working correctly.i had to ask her. Another big issue for me is they want everyone to pay with cash or they rack on 3.5% to the bill if you use a debit/credit card which I think sucks. We live in a digital world and you gouge people for using a card or you could "go take money out of their atm" at a flat rate fee. I think this type of business practice is shady and I will never go here again because of it. read more

WOW. I wanted comfort food and my friend brought me here. He hit the nail on the head- they literally have a comfort food section on the menu! Like green chili?! Well I love NM green chili better usually BUT this green chili is OUT OF THE PARK!!!! The server was super kind, attentive and respectful! Not to mention accommodating to some food changes. The French onion soup is the best I have had in a very long time! Maybe even better than that French bakery La Baguette in the springs! As soon as you walk in you just want to spin around and take everything in! There's so much cool stuff to look at! Great ambiance! The sun hits just right in the windows at lunch time, and they have an epic street patio for those warmer days too! Presentation is everything and this place does an outstanding job at staging both the food and the establishment. New favorite restaurant in town! I will be back quite often while I work my way through the entire menu! read more

Good: outside seating on the street. Bad: the food was extremely salty. I wouldn't eat there again. read more

Stellar Salida restaurant with great food, drinks and servers. The wedge salad was out of this world with warm huge amounts of real bacon. The poutine was sensational with great tasting fries and lots of yummy toppings. The full order of the fried chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy was spot on. Had a great double IPA and spicy bloody Mary. Everything was just amazing. Loved sitting outside and enjoying the summer night air. A Salida fave for sure. read more

When the cup of green chili my boyfriend ordered turned out to be a tiny ramekin of green chili, that kinda set the tone. Service, I must say, was good. Attentive but not intrusive. Patient and friendly. We started with the soup, took our time with a couple of drinks, and then decided to order dinner. My chicken pot pie was decent. If I got that from the freezer section, I'd be very happy. It was quite salty and the biscuit on top had gotten a little burnt around the edges, but I had no problem finishing the whole thing. My boyfriend's fried chicken with mashed potatoes and white gravy tasted very beige, but I've found that, in general, chicken fried chicken is stick-to-your-ribs and dynamic with peppery, creamy gravy and crispity crunchity chicken about 30% of the time and wall paper paste with meat the rest of the time. I don't know if I can blame Currents for being on the wrong side of that. In a pinch, I'd pop back in, but I'd rather try something else in town. read more

We live here in Salida and we have eaten at Currents quite often. My husband was ok with his burger. I usually get the chicken sandwich which is normally pretty good. Not last night. Chicken tasted burnt, off, ? I had to spit it out in my napkin. Pasta salad was swimming in mayo. Come on, do better! read more

Killer Mother's Day on the patio. The Hamburger was fantastic and the Borrago Chicken was great but by far the Poke' was the best. Top spot for lunch read more

My wife and i have been there twice in last 4 months. Each time we've tried different foods - first time was dinner - second time for lunch. Each dish has been DELICIOUS: FISH & CHIPS. CHICKEN POT PIE. LOBSTER BISQUE. FABULOUS HAMBURGER. Everything was excellent and sitting outside for lunch in a pedestrian walk so pleasurable (instead of cars going by). WAITRESS JESS was working her butt off - thank you. Tim Burt Buena Vista, CO read more

Amazing home-cooked food. I've never had a bad meal there. I highly recommend it. Meatloaf is excellent. Salmon is excellent. The customer service is out of this world. read more

Ate here twice on our trip to Salida, because our kids enjoyed it so much Both servers we had were great, and our food was good both evenings! read more

My favorite plate is the fried chicken and mashed potatoes. They have great cocktails and a fun place to eat outside during the summer

This place was highly rated, but that was not our experience with food or service. We had a wedge salad, the special Mahi Mahi, and an 8oz filet. The wedge was served with balsamic, looked puny, and was ok, but the value just wasn't there. The Mahi Mahi was so spicy we could barely eat it after everything was scraped off. Green beans on both dishes were bland and poorly seasoned. White gravy, which we've had all over the country at everywhere from 5 star restaurants to diners was terrible. The only taste was flour and milk. Seriously gross. Unsure how that can be done to such a simple comfort food. The steak was cooked to perfection, but the "steak sauce" tasted like BBQ sauce. They don't carry A1? Everyone from chilies to Ruth Chris to Elways carries A1. A steak house that doesn't carry A1-suspect. A seafood restaurant that has a single option for a fish filet???? Servers had 3-4 tables each, but struggled to do anything timely. They appeared stressed, inexperienced, and unfriendly. There is better value elsewhere. It's not bad, but we've honestly had more rewarding service and cusine from a diner. read more

Loved the restaurant, our server and the amazing steaks we had. It was a great anniversary dinner!

I had dinner here both nights I was in Salida because it was so dang good the first night! The bread the french dip was on was just so yummy and the fries were perfect. The next night I had the beef stroganoff and again; so yummy! Also, cheers to the staff because everyone was SO friendly!! read more

This was one of the worst places i've ever eaten. The server was beyond rude, didn't check on us once, has a horrible attitude. worst customer service ever. spent $100 on awful food, lacked flavor in every single way, found a hair, and food tasted freezer burnt. sickened, im every way i cannot believe how much money & time we wasted ! read more

Good food and friendly staff. Was in salida visiting the kid and grands. Darrelle wanted to try it so in we went. I got the sirloin and Andrea got the stroganoff. Both were delicious. I score a 7.8754. Nice place to enjoy a steak if you're in town. read more

Steak was great. Nice area- we sat outside on the little deck - it was very nice! Service was great too

2 out of 3 of the folks I met in Salida sent me to Currents, and I'm very grateful they did... great food, excellent vibe, and just good people I sat at the bar as I was traveling solo and in between two guys who couldn't have looked more different on the outside, the three of us ended up having a great conversation about the best music, they gave me some very insightful and cool tips for my time in this part of Colorado and on my journey down to Sant Fe... the best place , hands down * My baked potato was a little undercooked... Everything else was Killah read more

I had the Fish & Chips; my wife had the French Onion soup. While the fries were excellent, the cod was tough and the breading was hard. I believe that it was overcooked. The soup was way too salty. The service was great! read more

The steak was nice, the loaded mash potatoes out of this world, but avoid the seafood. They are more than happy to serve dead mussels in burnt garlic, more than once. The white wine pasta, tasted only of white wine. They waitress was super kind and friendly and apologized. The manager offered a free drink, and luckily took the meal off the bill. Nice patio, cheap wine by the glass. read more

Cool atmosphere and friendly staff! They make you feel like they're your friends and each on of them helped each other out with refills and checking on customers! Now the food is flavorful we ordered some fries that came with sweet onion, pavolene cheese, and bacon sauce. Now warning if you can handle FLAVOR this is not your place! We also ordered the steak with grilled shrimp and a wine glaze. Paired with mash potatoes and green beans. The steak was cooked just as we wanted, the glaze was a bit to much after a while but it could be the appetizer filled us a bit. The shrimp was not the best I will say It just tasted to charred for me. I Can't wait to come back and try something else because I was not disappointed. read more
