Points for the fun atmosphere! I ordered a cherry ice cream float and they made everything in house. 1. The ice cream was to dieeee for! So creamy and just what you'd want out of a vanilla soft ice cream. 2. The cherry soda lacked flavor. It felt like I was sipping bubbly water. Maybe next time I'll order with extra syrup? Or forgo the soda part & stick to ice cream only. Overall, this was a pleasant experience & something to check out on your visit to Salida!

From the…read morevery start, Cindy and her team were incredibly communicative and accommodating, ensuring that all of our guests' allergies were taken into account. The variety of flavors available was impressive, and everyone found something they enjoyed! The adorable 50's car and vintage outfits added a charming touch that made our special day even more memorable. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the ice cream and the friendly service; they loved snapping photos with the truck, which became a delightful backdrop for many of our wedding pictures. A particularly touching moment was when Cindy graciously set up a picture of my husband's late grandparents next to the truck. His grandparents adored ice cream, and knowing that they left him money for dessert at his wedding made having Blue Truck Ice Cream there even more special. Overall, the kindness and dedication of the Blue Truck Ice Cream team truly made our dessert a sweet ending to an unforgettable day. We wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking to add a unique and heartfelt touch to their event!

Sweetie's Sandwich Shop in Salida is one of our go-to spots whenever we want something easy to grab…read moredowntown and take to the river. We come up every other weekend to visit family, and this is a place we keep coming back to. The sandwiches are really good and consistently high quality every time. They are on the pricier side, but you can easily split one, which makes it a great option to share. The menu has a ton of options--it can feel a little overwhelming at first--but honestly, you can't go wrong. We've tried quite a few, and every single one has been great in its own way. Pro tip: during the summer, the line can wrap around the block. If you don't want to wait 30-40 minutes, ordering online is definitely the move. Also, don't skip their bars--they're absolutely amazing. Perfect to grab for later if you're heading out on a hike, or just enjoy it right there. Highly recommend grabbing a sandwich and taking it down to the river--that's honestly the best part of the whole experience.

The staff are friendly and welcoming and are knowledgeable about the coffee they sell. We tried the Iced Nitro coffee, Ice flash coffee, Golden Milk and Santo Palo latte. All the drinks were excellent. We especially liked the Nitro and Flash brewed coffee. The profile was rich, full body and balanced; very refreshing and drinkable. The Nitro was, of course, a bolder, richer flavor of the two. They were some of the best iced coffees I've tasted. The shop offers many varieties of whole bean, single origin and blended coffees from Corvus Rosters; which they will gladly grind for you. They also have lots of specialty food, body products, and gift items for sale along with a vinyl record section. For excellent coffee, friendly service and a nice shop to browse while waiting for your drinks, Howl Mercantile is awesome. They also have a few tables indoors and outside.

I had the hot dog " The All American " topped with ketchup, yellow mustard, relish, diced onions and served in a soft, warm bakery bun with drink and onion rings. The touch scree wouldn't let me pay via credit card as it was an option and screen froze several times. Order was placed. We waited and waited and waited; then I pressed the order button again and was asked for my order - I said we ordered like 20 minutes ago - he said I'll be right back. Later the car hop came out with our order. Said she was new and didn't know the order sitting there who it belonged to so she let it set. She said the meal was on her, which was nice but we were still missing the fries. So much for sonics visits. The food was good; just lacking some customer service work!

Worker came out with a vanilla shake. When I paused she scoffed and asked, "what's wrong now!?" And I told her I ordered a chocolate shake. She points to the first one (now in the trash bc she told me she couldn't take it back and add more) and goes, "that WAS a chocolate shake. Now I've wasted $20 worth of product because of you!" (Mind you the shakes are $4 each and we all know they don't cost that much to make). Usually love sonic, but this one sucks. Worker had tattoos and a nose ring working at 1345 on 6/14/26

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.
