After a few cocktails, me Mountain Martini's my friend classic Margs we chose dinner. He had the Chicken Alfredo and wiped it out, he kept commenting how good it was and how much Chicken he was given. I had the Pig and Fig, unfortunately I was disappointed, not enough sauce or fig to my liking. The location has standing room only, we experienced on a Friday and Sunday night (We only fined in on Sunday). Modern interior, great bar, it all glows well and seems very open even when packed. Definitely with coming here to experience the great food and friendly atmosphere

We somehow always order the exact same thing too, gin and tonics, margarita pizzas, and Bee Stings. We can hear after our engagement pics this time around :) We had a small issue during our visit today, but the staff and managers were super attentive and quick to fix it. They were genuinely apologetic and made sure we were taken care of, which honestly means a lot. Definitely not something that would affect us coming back. If anything, it made us appreciate this place even more. We'll absolutely be back the next time we're in town!!

The people working there were great. Chai latte and London fog were lovely. There is a great kids area with coloring books and toys, so we enjoyed breakfast while the kids played woohoo 10/10. We're always on the hunt for breakfast places in and around Salida and this one surprised us. We will be back! Tab for feeding two adults three kids was about $55 which honestly is as good as it gets these days. Only potential negative was it's a little slow to get the food which makes sense because it's just one person back there, but we weren't in a rush and it wasn't crowded so no big deal.

The bread here alone is super impressive, we ate a whole pretzel loaf as an appetizer and i don't regret it. The Mojo Pork Benedict was absolutely delicious!

Overall this place is really impressive and is churning out delicious food in such a tiny space!

I didn't even get to take a photo of the pretzel because I completely annihilated it. It was phenomenal. I came to my senses enough go photograph the sandwich, it was also amazingly good. I passed the loaf around to everyone at my table and we all really liked it. I also got a cute little mason jar for my drink which is so cool. The eatery is inside a little shop so the vibe is very granola in the best way. It smells incredible inside. The staff is also so incredibly nice and gave me several recommendations and made it all seem like incredible options. The price point is high, but i'm learning that's just Colorado in general. I had no issue spending my money here.

Salida is a town that feels meticulously arranged by a diorama enthusiast with a penchant for the…read morefrontier. Nestled among the peaks of the Sawatch Range, where tumbleweeds might theoretically roll if they weren't caught in the spokes of a passing bicycle, sits an establishment of peculiar perfection: The Biker & The Baker. My compass has unerringly pointed to their door every single time I visit Salida over the past five years. It is a tradition forged in sugar and chain grease, where the rugged American West meets the precision of French pastry. Pairing high-desert riding with artisanal baking seems like a recipe for a pile-up, but the execution here is a sweet ride. You will find aerodynamic cyclists sitting elbow-to-elbow with flannel-draped modern prospectors, united by a singular quest for butter. The Biker handles the gears, the Baker handles the tiers. They aren't just coasting on charm; they are pedaling toward culinary triumph, baking up a storm that rivals the monsoons over the Arkansas River. The confections are miniature monuments to indulgence. I have routinely panned for gold in this valley, but the true motherlode is their lemon tart--a symmetrical marvel of citrus striking like a high-noon sun. Their charcuterie boards are arranged with the geometric exactitude of a surveyor mapping a railroad. Whether you are gearing up to summit Mount Shavano or recovering from a grueling promenade, this sanctuary provides the requisite fuel. It is the exceedingly charming destination itself.

I ordered the Royale with Cheese (7 oz beef burger, cheese, white onions, pickles and special sauce - that seemed to just be mayo) and fried okra as a side. The hubby ordered the Boone (7 oz beef burger with slab of cream cheese and a pile of jalapeños) plus a side of their tater tots. Everything was wonderful! While I was eating my burger I kept like looking at it and enjoying it and I could not put my finger on what made it special, it just worked and worked very well. Same with the other burger. Sides were plentiful and nice and crispy. We also ordered a couple draft beers (they had a pretty extensive cocktail menu too). Really loved it. Will definitely come here again when in Buena Vista. Great experience.

The service was as impressive as the food. Every staff member we interacted with was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely kind. Even with the morning rush, they kept things moving smoothly and made us feel appreciated as customers. It's easy to see why people were lined up before they opened.

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.
