This is always a must stop when coming through Buena vista! The best soft serve and onion rings! I also had a chili cheese dog and the chili was homemade- delish! It's right by a park and the river so if it's nice out you can have a great picnic! read more

Great ice cream & malts at good prices. My daughters love the dipped cones (only tried chocolate)! Line moves quick even with food orders.

I'd put zero stars if I could. My family and I come here twice a year during our road trip to CO. We usually like it but the service is terrible. They closed the kitchen 30 minutes early for absolutely no reason. We tried to talk to the lead shift manager because apparently there's no manager on staff. The lead shift manager hamper to explain we were about to go through independence pass and there would be no options for food for a while. She did not show any kind of effort to accommodate even though they were supposed to close in 30 minutes but overall very rude and I don't know if the lady was joking or something but what kind of a name is hamper. read more

Rudest service ever! I had to ask for a cup holder for 3 drinks however the customer ahead of me got one without asking! The lady didn't give me the onions rings I ordered although she read my order correctly and then charged me for an order of onion rings. Bad service and will never go back. read more

Was driving thru and saw this place. There is a little park behind it so some place to sit. The food is not that great. My burger was still red in the middle. The staff seemed like they were asleep or that they didn't want to work today. It was ok for a quick stop and bathroom break. read more

It's sad, this place used to be a great stop, but the service has made it inconsistent and unwelcoming. I was about to complain that my burger wasn't thoroughly cooked when I walked up on n the manager cursing out another customer upset that the restaurant was closing 30 minutes early and refusing to serve them. AVOID read more

The staff decided to close at 6:40 and refused to take our order after driving a long way to eat here. I tried calling an hour before arriving to place a takeout order which they also wouldn't accommodate phone orders but that they closed at 7. They then put me on hold and hung up. Once we arrived at 6:35 we were told they would not serve us, I asked for an owner or manager. The lady at the window said she was the lead shift, said she was in charge but she couldn't help that the kitchen said they were done cooking. They did take the order from the people in line in front of us so the issue is not that the kitchen was already closed. We visit this restaurant every year and I'm really disappointed that we brought guest and this was the expertise they had. Sitting in the car, writing this review, an employee came out and started yelling at us to leave. I'd be really embarrassed if I was the owner of this establishment. read more

Called an hour ahead to place an order and the employee told us "give me a second," talked to someone, then said "we don't do that" and laughed before hanging up. We showed up at 6:40 even though they're supposed to close at 7, and they had already decided to close early while making someone else's burger right in front of us. Very disappointing and unprofessional. read more

I've been going to K's since Kay owned the business. Back when the burger was sourced locally and the patties were hand made. It's sad to see the quality go down so much, I used to crave K's cheeseburgers and couldn't wait for opening day in the Spring. There are better options for a great burger in BV. The soft serve ice cream was very good however. read more

Excellent burger stand. A little pricey for what it is but tasty. Gorgeous park next door to relax and eat your burger in.

We waited in line for about 20 minutes, to be expected on a Saturday afternoon, but the food did come out very quickly after we had ordered. It's a typical American drive-in type menu, with burgers/fries/ice cream/malts. They loudly proclaimed they were out of burger patties at 3:30pm on a Saturday. You're a burger joint- how does that happen ?? Pricing is about what you would expect, middle of the road. The corn dogs were the same price as burgers. They were good, don't get me wrong, but not worthy of the same price point as a juicy burger. We enjoyed our Freezes (think Dairy Queen Blizzard). The ice cream is a classic creamy soft serve. read more

I had the double cheeseburger and it was very good! they put the toppings underneath the patties and that was a refreshing change! great fries! was the 200th customer of the day so I got a free ice cream cone! would recommend. only open in the summer read more

This is a very popular place. It's a walk up place with a little bit of outdoor seating. They play fun music and they give you a famous person's name that they call when your order is ready. They have soft serve ice cream and my favorite thing was that they were very generous with my rainbow sprinkles!! The burger tasted good but the bun was hard and dry, not fresh. I ordered onion rings, heard the young woman yell, "o-rings!" But then when we picked up the order I had fries (not great by the way) and no onion rings. My husband told them we had ordered onion rings instead of fries, but apparently we weren't charged for onion rings and they weren't willing to give them to us because they said too many people scam them saying they didn't get their onion rings. Weird. And frustrating. read more

bad customer service, said in vulgar way to "come over here dude" not after sitting down and overpriced.

Always stop here on our way back from Gunnison. Never disappoints, cheeseburger and fries, simple and satisfies the crave. Nice parking by a local park so you can eat there, or in your car. Stopped here in the 80's when I was a kid on our way back from fishing for ice cream too. Service is always good. read more

Enjoyable roadside delights. Customer service is very good and they serve ice cream. What more do you need? If it happens to be a bathroom, you have to cross the street and head to the building in the park. That is less than desirable, but the town does a good job keeping it up, so no problem there. read more

The primary redeeming quality of this place is the ice cream and the manner in which they call out orders. When you order, you're given a celebrity's name (think Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, Shirley Temple, etc.), and that's who you listen for. It's a fun idea and all ages seem to like it. Unfortunately, the burgers themselves are lackluster and don't have much flavor. They're also fairly greasy. This is a small joint on the side of the highway coming into town. There's minimal seating available, but there's a nearby park if you have some kids who need to burn some energy. There's a map inside where people can place a push-pin on the place they're from. It's fascinating to see how far people have come to go through BV. Go for the ice cream, and stay for the names. I'd go somewhere else for an actual meal. read more

I've ate here in the past but it's been quite a while. I remember it being much better. Burger was okay but I've had better. Also, it was more medium rare instead of medium well. Fries were disappointing - battered frozen fries. I doesn't know why I was expecting hand cut French fries. Maybe they've changed hands and more concerned about convenience and higher profits. I won't be in a hurry to return. read more

It stinks that a place with good food and a fun, small-town vibe has such bad service. While they take your order, they are frequently crabby. I asked for a cup of water and they wanted to charge me $3.00. Always pushback on small things that make the experience not fun. read more

Stopped in for lunch on a Sunday and about 5 people in front of me. They were announcing that they're short staffed right now, but they were still cranking out the cheeseburgers in a reasonable time-10 minutes for about 6 sandwiches. These are tasty burgers and grilled well. The fries and onion rings are crispy and not limp like some joints. Get a shake with it and you have a complete meal. Go over to the park right behind K's and have your burger on a park bench or table there! read more

Grossest food AND rudest staff on the planet. Burgers and corn dogs, average premade frozen at best. Banana split doesn't have real bananas, it's banana syrup. When you want to vomit because it's fake flavoring, the staff will argue with you and tell you too bad, "real bananas go bad too quickly." Please for the sake of humanity, go somewhere else. This is the worst place, I've ever been. It is clear the staff could care less about customers. The best thing that could happen to Buena Vista is this pathetic place go out of business. read more

Great service and great food! We got burgers and chicken and both were amazing. Plus a couple Oreo shakes and a soft serve twist in a cone that were all also delicious. It was a very neat place with a great atmosphere and friendly staff! read more

Great, fast little roadside burger and corn dog joint. We had our dog with us and couldn't go to a proper restaurant as he doesn't like being close to other people. This place had a long line but it went super quick. Chilly dog combo and corn dog combo hit the spot. Fries were fresh and hot. The service was good. Great little park next door too. read more

I have now gone to K's twice this summer. By driving by you think it's a classic summer drive in spot but it's extremely over priced. The staff can be very cold and short with customers. They do not mix their milkshakes, all they do is put soft serve in a cup. If you want a meal with a burger, fries and drink expect to pay well over $20. I would suggest going to a local spot downtown instead. read more

How can I say this?....Do not go there. !!!!! Total crappy service and food...expensive.... READ ALL THE REVIEWS ....TOTAL SH*T ALL PLACE I love these 50s type burger joints...this one sucks.. Those who liked it either work there, are family of or got very very very lucky.... read more

I think this is my second review of this place. Today's visit was a big disappointment. Our double burger came out with one burger essentially raw in the center. We had cut it in half to share, so we could tell there was a problem immediately. My husband took it back to the counter, and the guy said it was fine! We said it's raw in the middle, and he continues with its cooked fine. "We cook our burgers medium to well done." This was rare- medium rare which is not good for ground beef. It was cool inside. Then he starts in with, "it's fine, because it's not chicken or seafood." Oh man! I've owned a restaurant and have been certified in food safety. Cool ground beef isn't considered safe. The guy would not relent. We were just stopping for a quick burger to share on the way to Aspen. We'd had good food here before, but today we did not. And who wants to argue over a burger? So we also skipped ice cream here. Doubtful we'll return or bring friends after rafting as we have many times in the past. It was a bit busy, and anyone can undercook a burger, and it should have been easily corrected. I don't like being told something is good when it clearly isn't, and apparently they do not care. read more

I've been coming to K's for over 40 years each summer. Ever since new management took over years ago, it is very inconsistent. Today, a Sunday, we show up at 5:30pm and they are closed. Supposedly open 11am to 7pm, 7 days a week. When asked when we could expect some normal hours, the young blond dripped of attitude and said "I don't know".. They ran out of food - at least burgers. Hard to imagine they'd run out of everything - including soft serve. Girl with attitude said to call before coming. Well easier said than done when on a jeep trail all Sunday afternoon. What a disappointment. read more

Lots of negative reviews here and I just don't get it. Seems like a great old-timey burger and shake joint. Burger was really good. Chocolate shake was solid, too. The atmosphere is chill and it's great to take your food down to the creek and eat. I never encountered this "rude" manager that everyone keeps mentioning, but I would certainly recommend this place. read more

Unique and one of a kind experience right along the Arkansas river. Relax and enjoy a perfect hamburger and thick shake.

I had been meaning to stop at K's for years. It was closed or the line was too long. Yesterday, I was allowed to be a tester for the new digital register. I ordered a double deluxe with rings and a Coke. Loved every bite and sip. This is a must stop in BV! read more

If you want to pay 7$ for a small ice cream and barely any toppings this place is for you! They have 3 flavors of soft serve ice cream straight off a Sysco truck. Go to the ice cream place across the street ! read more

Fun stop after a long hike in the area. We only got various forms of soft serve Ice cream, but it all hit the spot on a warm afternoon.

Worse service. Ta-ah S was server. When I ordered she did not mention combo price. when the other server mentioned combo price Ta-ah said she was tried of telling people and we should read the menu. She completely ignored me to the point of just being rude even shut the front windows. Not a good example for someone who is new to town. I will be working with a lot of visitors to BV this summer and I will not recommend this establishment read more

When we walked up no one greeted us. The gal working just glanced up and kept sweeping until she finished. I don't mind waiting a few minutes but they really should acknowledge that you're there and they're coming. Food was up before I even finished filling my soda. Not a great sign, I think everything had been sitting awhile. Fries were cold. Burger was undercooked and the bun was stale. My sister got chicken strips and onion rings. Both were cold. We didn't finish either meal. I would not recommend. I gave it two stars only because it was clean. The indoor dining and restrooms were closed with a note saying to go use the bathrooms in the park. read more

Just had a nasty interaction with a young lady who works the counter here. The first 3 things we tried to order on the menu they didn't have. Well why is it on the menu then? I didn't appreciate her nasty attitude. "I DON'T Make THAT any more!" read more

Not worth it. My Girlfriend and I stopped for a quick lunch and could not have been more disappointed. My girlfriend ordered fries and a sunday, the fries were 4$ and contained less than 10 soggy fries. I ordered the mushroom Swiss and a shake. The shake was literally a cup of soft serve ice cream, my mushroom Swiss was pretty flavorless and disappointing. I'd rather eat at a McDonald's than go here again. Definitely targeted towards the tourist crowd, skip it and give some of the other restaurants in Buena Vista a go. read more
