Phenomenal burger! My hubs is somewhat of a burger connoisseur, and did a tour of burgers when he lived in New York; he said that this reminded him of that. High praise! I had the Swiss mushroom burger, he had a double, and our kiddo had a hot dog, but MAN, his tater tots were crispy! Also, quite the selection on sauces. Don't skimp on those. Our waitress was a sweetheart and accommodated our little with 3 cherries in his Shirley Temple. Great way to refeed after a day of sledding! read more

This places had really good food! Hands down our server was very nice. (I would ask for the guy).. Place is kinda small, good "club/2000s" songs play. Good vibes over all Downsides// Lady with dirty blond hair and butterfly tattoo above elbow pushed my 3yr old cause he was getting anxious cause she moving at high speeds. Instead of waiting she pushed him to the side. Which was rude! Please wait for a child or parent to attend to him. (My son nervous, and I had my arms full with my other child but I was about to grab him) Also our sides (fries/tots/onion rings) are not included in adult meals. Which is understandable but for a 16$ burger I would wish it was. Also our started came out after our food? But it's okay. Lots of food. Otherwise very good! Would possibly come again. read more

This place was incredible! After a few days of having terrible food, we decided to try this place south that was walking distance from our Airbnb. We saw a lot of great reviews online and we thought, how bad could a hamburger place actually be. Mind you, I am not a burger person whatsoever, but everything was on point and delicious. The ingredients were fresh and everything tasted incredible. We got the avocado burger and the regular cheeseburger wrapped in lettuce. 10/10 a must try read more

Excellent burgers and fries. Everything tasted super fresh and delicious! My kiddos enjoyed the hotdogs and chicken tenders. Everything tasted like it had a lot of care and effort put into making it. read more

These burgers are just amazing... I can't get enough. I love the bartender, she is always so attentive. I believe her name is Shannon. There is such a chill vibe to the inside and it feels like family. read more

I ordered the western burger ($17) which had bacon, fired onions , bbq sauce , cheese , and pickles. It came out in about 20 minutes. The burger was a bit too greasy for me but it was moist and flavorful. The bacon could've been more crispier, but still meshed well with the burger. Server could've came around a little more frequent to refill drinks. Overall a bit pricy for just a burger as fries are not included, but it still a decent spot for a burger.

Reviews seemed good and I put a lot of research when choosing what my 4th of July burger was gonna be. Super disappointed. Very mid burger. Like it wasn't fat and juicy, but it also wasn't a smash burger at all... just a wide thin grey patty.... And it was $16 for the burger with no fries or any side lmao... Then when I brought up pricing to my server said "Yeah just don't come here" lol... Loud and clear sir! read more

Great food great service I love this restaurant good customer service happy people great parking lots

While in Breckenridge we decided the we needed to grab something to eat and we chose Empire Burger once again. Food and service were once again amazing! This time we ordered the trailer tots, just as good this time as last. My niece had the guac burger, I had the western burger and I can't remember what my sister got but all so moist and flavorful. Place is small and always packed but the food and service is so worth it. read more

Heard it was good. Got there and seated at filthy sticky tables so walked out immediately. Yuch. We left.

Got some apps to go and wasn't overly impressed. I was quoted 5-7 mins for my order. 15 mins later, I asked for an update. Guy who took my order thought someone else was helping me. Woman said it was being boxed up as the original guy brought it out. Fried cheese was in a sleeve, not a box. No napkins or anything else in the bag. Zucchini chips were soggy and kind of tasteless. Fried cheese was ok, but not worth the trouble. Probably should've just gone somewhere else. read more

Service was exceptional however price for quality and quantity is just nowhere near where acceptable. Small spot with high costs for mediocre burgers. Go across the street to Ollie's for a burger they are 10/10 read more

The food was great, and the waitresses were kind and quick. The atmosphere was good. The guac bacon burger is a must try. The fries do not come with the burger so if you want fries, a burger, and a drink, be ready to spend ~$30. The nachos were great, as well as the fries and onion rings. read more

Came here for some quick appetizers before dinner. Decided not to stay because wine selection was limited but that was no big deal at all. Sat at the bar but if it's super cold outside stay closer to the middle of the restaurant as employees are constantly going next door and opening the door a lot next to the bar. Service and ambiance was amazing. We loved the nachos and the mozzarella sticks were your standard, every day mozzarella sticks. read more

We ate here for the first time today and the food and service was excellent. The burgers were terrific. The volume of toppings on the loaded nachos were much more than I expected. The server from Argentina was friendly, warm, and helpful. Service was also very quick. We'd highly recommend. read more

Great burger. Guacamole, Bacon on GF bun - really nice. Chicken sandwich...not so much. Super dry. We ordered fries crispy, they were pretty soggy. Nice flavor, but really limp. Super nice staff. Advice: Stick with burgers - don't get fries to go. read more

Came to get a ToGo order and greeted the minute I walked in. Placed at a table so I could be comfortable and look at the menu(first time there). Server brought me water and order was taken. Decided to try The Ripley Cheese Steak and fried zucchini chips. When I returned back to my room about a mile away, I couldn't believe it:)...this Cheese Steak was HOT and Fresh like it just came out from the kitchen. We've all had Takeout that's soggy and honestly almost expected but not this! The sandwich was fantastic 10/10!!! Great Job read more

Great burger and bar in Breckenridge. I found myself here one night after a conference. I liked it so much I went back on my last day in town. During the evening hours it has a very dive bar feel. I was with a group from the conference and everyone was having a blast. During the day the vibe is very much a restaurant. I sat outside since the weather was nice. If it's summer, I encourage you to do the same. Both times I got the green chili burger with fries. Add jalapeños if you want to step it up a notch. The burger was cooked properly, was juicy, and delicious. The fries were hand cut and damn good. I added a side of their garlic mayo which was an excellent choice. If you're in Breck and want a burger, get yourself to Empire. read more

I am not one to leave bad reviews, but i was super upset when i found out a day later that the server David G. Tipped himself 22% after we had told him we would leave a CASH tip. I was still willing to leave a tip even after our order was brought out almost an hour later and other groups that had came in after were getting served before us. Also at the fact that nobody came back to check on our table either throughout the whole time we were there. Make sure to check your bank account after eating here. read more

Don't be a Rebel, join the Empire! That'll probably be the only time I ever say such words, but it was strictly to catch your attention. Did it work? ;D The Empire Burger is exactly what a person needs after a long day! Whether you're in town for a shred session or dropping by after a summer walk around town, they will have something that'll make YOU and THE WHOLE FAMILY happy. There's salads for anyone who is watching their carbs, fried delights for peeps who need alil' crunchy bite, creamy shakes for the kiddos (and boozy ones for adults), and of course, big bad n' juicy burgers for all the burger loving bro and babes. As far as ambiance, this is not your romantic date night spot. It's your casual, typical sports bar vibe with a chill and easy going wait staff. Shout out to Psi who took great care of us! We ordered: Fried Zucchini Chips w/ a side of Ranch Mushroom Swiss Burger w/ a side of Roasted Garlic Mayo Western Burger *Super important note, all the sauces are HOMEMADE!* For now, Empire Burger is King of Burgers in Breckenridge for our family! read more

Came here for lunch with the kids. Really cool place. They had this queso with chili on top. Do yourself a favor and order that! The food was really good. I personally had the Cobb salad, which was massive. I barely was able to make a dent. It was so much food. A lot of food but absolutely delicious! My husband had a cheeseburger which he said was amazing and the kids also really liked the kids cheeseburger. We sat by a mural of a bull made by nails, which was really cool. The whole look of this restaurant was very cool and hip. The service was also great. read more

For the best burger you'll ever eat, you MUST go to Empire Burger in Breckenridge, Colorado. We've been coming here to ski for many years and we always come here for burgers!! My favorite is the Mushroom Swiss burger, but they're all fabulous!! Tonight we decided to switch it up and have their famous hot dogs with chili, cheese and onions!!! Spectacular, especially paired with their amazing onion rings and a choice of 20 dipping sauces!! I can't say enough good things about this place!! Get there and you'll be going back again and again!! Thank you Empire Burger!!!!!! read more

We sat at the bar and had excellent service. We had fish tacos and a burger. Both were very good and plenty to eat.

Feb 7, 2023 Got in today from Galveston Texas for a ski trip this week This is a full service bar, so we got beers, bloody Marys, and cocktails. We started with fried zucchini - lightly fried good taste. My burger was a bacon cheeseburger added fried egg with a side of tator tots- OMG! SO good. Others had turkey bison BBQ burgers and they loved them. They serve this sweet mango chutney sauce, a jalapeno sauce and a peppercorn sauce to eat with FF, onion rings, tator OR your hamburger. Anything really. They're all delicious Highly recommend read more

For me Saturday, they refused to allow to break up some of the bills makes it difficult to invite parties when we come in from out of town to have meet ups or to have special guests makes extra extraordinarily difficult to ever come back to a place like this If you're from out of town and you're doing an event or something, just be aware of that you're gonna get burned read more

*CELIAC / GLUTEN FREE REVIEW limited options, and you do have to go into specifics to make sure your food is safe, but I had no reaction as a very sensitive celiac! I got the Kona burger, and here's where you do have to go a bit into details for a safe meal: the grill is shared / they do grill buns - BUT if you say it's an allergy, they'll cook EVERYTHING, bun and toppings, on tinfoil. They also will switch utensils, just again be as clear as you can. Furthermore - they often butter the buns. I asked for no butter since the butter is probably used for regular buns. Our waiter's mom had celiac and he said she feels comfortable eating the burgers and salads here. The burger was great and very flavorful, the bun is an Udi's bun, but got the job done. They do have a shared fryer so none of the sides are safe. read more

I was searching other Yelp reviews for a good burger in Breck and found Empire Burger. It's in a great location right on the main street and the burger was very good. I had the Green Chile Cheeseburger and enjoyed it. Truthfully the best part is the homemade dipping sauces! I tried the Jalapeño Ranch and the Sriracha Mayo and both were excellent. Overall, decent spot to come to for a burger and beer (don't forget the dipping sauces!) when in Breckenridge. read more

Sometimes previous yelp reviews do me dirty when I'm looking for a new place to check out while on vacation and this my friends was one of them- I'm not quite sure how they average 4 stars. First off, it's a burger place that claims the patties are 1/3 lb and cooked "medium". These burgers are thin like Freddy's or Steak n Shake style- not sure how they are 1/3 lb or cooked medium cause everyone at my table had a very well done burger. They pile the toppings high with abundance which I'm guessing to distract from the missing thickness of the patty. The hand cut fries were great think similar to Five Guys. The toppings were fresh and had quite a bit like I mentioned above but for all their claims and to have "burger" in their name, they miss the mark. To be honest, the service sucked. The lady who met us at the door was friendly and sat us quickly while she went back to her other tables. We got stuck with this guy who immediately had attitude when asking how many kids menus we needed. Then when trying to order drinks he was super unhelpful and responded with "No" without explanations or alternatives. Just a blank stare. The fries were supposed to come with a sauce of our choice but he never asked and never came back for us to request it after the food arrived. Drinks were never refilled and he only came back to start grabbing stuff off the table. He literally reached over my plate and grabbed my fork and napkin that had a piece of the excessive lettuce that I had taken off. It was just a weird experience- since I've never had someone do that- let alone while I'm still eating. All in all, I'd find somewhere else to go if you want a burger because this place is definitely not it. read more
