    Cheese burger and cosmo
    Alyson C.

    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.

    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. Food(50%): 6.7 Staff/service(25%): 6.0 Value(25%): 5.5 Overall: 6.3/10

    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.

    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.

    oh but the fish tacos

    i feel like i cheated on my lover for ordering fish tacos at a 99% exclusive burger place but it was the best decision and im a better person for it

    Trailer tots

    What a great little burger place this is! I got the bacon cheeseburger and it was fantastic. Their sauces are all home made and taste awesome. We got the trailer tots and they were super flavorful and large portion size also. My wife got the western burger and loved that also. Service was top notch and the atmosphere was chill and relaxed.

    An awesome burger spot in Breckenridge! We enjoyed the regular cheese burger and bacon burger. The seasonal drinks were fun too. A staple spot for a good, thick burger.

    Extremely overpriced for an average burger. Watered down soda, very small tables. Writing this last sentence to fill the word counter

Walking in on a cold February day, the mood and ambiance were warm and inviting. The downstairs bar was lively, and the wood ceiling and decor definitely gave off a classic aged lodge feel. We were seated upstairs per our Yelp reservations. A collection of canteens hung on the wall, which sparked a fun conversation and history lesson for my twins. Since they're part of the CamelBak and Stanley cup generation, they hadn't seen anything like them before. My son was impressed by the size of the kids' burger, and the fries were great. The rest of us had the NY Strip. I'd say it was good, but not great--though I did appreciate the blackened seasoning and the chimichurri. The grilled asparagus, however, was simply fantastic. The showstopper was the upside-down apple pie with what seemed to be homemade vanilla ice cream. Both were generous portions and kindly comped by our server for my birthday. I ordered my standard Ranch Water, though it unfortunately didn't come in their traditional canteen cup. Overall, it's a great spot. I look forward to visiting again on our next trip to Colorado.

My guest…read morestruggles with mobility - and we had a bit of rush to navigate activities in the hotel, and Hyde graciously assisted us with transporting ourselves and purchases to 'lobby event'. It was a rather big deal for my friend to make the event, and it was only possible because of the graciousness of Hyde. We went with fish tacos and steak sandwich and loved both. The roasted-pepper tomato soup was delicious also!

    My partner and I came in just before noon on Wednesday (3/10) and sat at the bar. The bartender…read moreworking was Ben, and unfortunately the experience was one of the worst examples of hospitality we've encountered. We sat there for over 10 minutes without being acknowledged while Ben clearly prioritized people he seemed to know personally. During that time he served guests who arrived after us and even started doing prep work instead of checking on us. Eventually we had to ask him ourselves if we could order drinks. When we did, Ben responded with a sarcastic and rude tone saying something along the lines of, "Sure, I can grab you drinks if you want them, but first show me IDs." We had unfortunately left our IDs back at home. That part is completely fair we understand you can't serve alcohol without identification and we accepted that. However, immediately after this interaction, another group of people who appeared around our age (we're in our 30s) sat down and Ben served them alcohol without asking for ID at all. When we asked him about it, he simply shrugged and ignored us. We then asked if we could at least get a Red Bull, since it's non-alcoholic. Ben refused and walked away. When we asked the other bartender if she could grab one for us, Ben came up behind her and told her not to serve us because we didn't have IDs even though we were only asking for a Red Bull. Thankfully she was kind enough to help us anyway. The most shocking part happened shortly after when one of Ben's friends came in. Ben began talking negatively about us right in front of us, calling us rude? Within earshot while we were sitting at the bar. When we confronted him and asked what the issue was, he threatened to kick us out of what he called "his bar." We asked to speak with a manager and explained the situation. The level of rudeness and unprofessional behavior from Ben was honestly shocking. Ignoring guests, being sarcastic and dismissive, refusing basic non-alcoholic service, and then openly insulting customers in front of them is completely unacceptable in any hospitality environment.
