This place is busy and a little loud but i think it's meant to be that way. When we walked in I think who was the owner was sitting at the first table when you walk in and he told us go order at the counter so that's what we did lol you can order on a screen by the register or the employee will take your order. It was so so busy and people kept coming up to the side of the counter where it says pick up food and bothering the employee taking orders so he would have to stop taking orders at the register and tend to the person at the counter asking for whatever they needed. Definitely seemed like they were short staffed but the ones who showed up were staying busy and moving fast! So props to them on keeping up with the volume of people they had that day! I got the Philly. the cook did awesome on my sandwich! He kept up with orders too which was impressive bc he was doing it alone back there. Definitely would be back & hopefully the same staff is there! Great job men! read more

Take a pass on this one trust me. Worst burger I've ever had and one of the most expensive and the guy behind the counter is an asshole. Very unfriendly and just a real smart ass. One double hamburger frozen crinkle, cut fries and two shitty milkshakes for $63. I would've expected better quality for that price. read more

Best burger I've had in Colorado! Service was excellent fast and very friendly! Will definitely be there again.

We ate here last year, the food was good, prices reasonable, and the service was good. This last trip in 2026 was much worse. The service was poor, the prices almost tripled, and the gif was not as good. We waited over an hour after ordering, and paid a very high price - 2 burgers and a beer was about $70. They had a good thing and ruined it. Don't bother going to Steamies. read more

45 minutes for 4 small chicken tenders, the sauces were fun and the wasabi pesto was surprisingly good, but definitely not returning

I went in with my friends to get ice cream and the service was so horrible. I ordered a swirl and the guy screamed at me for ordering it when there was no where that said they were out of chocolate ice cream. All the workers were very rude to us and other costumers and the ice cream was not good. Both me and my friend's orders weren't correct either. Do not recommend going! read more

Had a great experience at Steamies Burger Bar...I ordered the garden burger with beer-battered onion rings...and both were absolutely delicious...crispy...flavorful...and cooked just right...My wife enjoyed a grilled cheese sandwich...and a cookies and cream milkshake...and she couldn't stop raving about how good it was...The shake was thick...creamy...and packed with flavor...The only downside was the restroom area...it could've been a bit cleaner...But overall...the food and vibes more than made up for it...We'll definitely be back!!! read more

Order a chicken sandwich and fries, 50 minutes passes no chicken sando no fries. I ask about it and the chef tells me to wait longer! Terrible terrible terrible. Rude rude rude. read more

I'm shocked at the low ratings for this place because I thought it was amazing!! Starting off, yes the patties are on the thinner side but they held a lot of flavor and I was so happy with the portion and didn't feel like I had to roll myself out of the restaurant. The onion rings and sweet potato fries were phenomenal. Their drinks were great. Our server/the guy who took our order last night was AMAZING. I wish I had grabbed his name. I asked for extra pickles and I swear he would have hunted down every last pickle on earth for me. He was so freaking awesome. Finished the night with a chocolate/vanilla swirl custard and I'm already wondering if it's too soon to go back and repeat my exact meal for the second night in a row. Cute outdoor dining area with a dog friendly patio right in downtown, too!! Oh- and I'm sorry, but anywhere that has a sauce bar is immediately #1 on my list. Should have taken a picture of it but they have all kinds of toppings and condiments/sauces for fries and all your food!! read more

Very disappointed... I had high expectations for these burgers, a sign on the front of the restaurant claims "voted best burger in CO" so I order the Yeti "best rated burger" I was very disappointed. I could not finish my food and the rest of my party felt that the food was equally disgusting. The service was quick and the restaurant had a welcoming environment, those are the only factors keeping this from a 1 star. read more

This was one of the most disappointing $38 lunch. Food is awful. Took one bite of the burger and couldn't have another

Worst place to eat in Telluride overpriced burgers and hotdogs. Not a good burger whatsoever.

Food is frozen, Reheated and served with a bad attitude.... Cute café style setup but I would definitely not ever eat here AGAIN nor do I reccomend anyone else do... we paid over 100 bucks for nasty food and the lady at the counter was very unwelcoming and not friendly at all... Hope she has a better day... read more

(This review is from March 5th, 2023 when we visited) I definitely would give three stars. Three stars because you can go try but wouldn't come back. This was recommended by one of our buddies but I would not put this on a list of must try. I ordered a crispy chicken salad to eat *dainty* and it came with one piece of chicken tender cut into slices with big pieces of lettuce. The crispy chicken was good. I loved that they had many sauces to chose from with jalapeños and peppers to the side that you could self serve. They have off brand soda. My friends parents loved the unsweetened iced tea. I got a dirty Shirley and wished I didn't. It tasted nothing like a Shirley temple and I had one sip then chose water. We spent 104.00 on 3 people. That includes a $10 tip. Their vibe was fun and mountain-like. We're from NY too so maybe that's why the boys didn't like the burgers. They thought, "most voted Burger" was not true. The sweet potato fries are a must. You can't knock it till you try it but we were like damn. read more

service was absolutely terrible. they posted that they are open at eight am "that is just a summer thing" said the probably overwhelmed server. their hours are not posted anywhere with the proper hours, how dare me call and ask. ambience is at best a mess, good local sodas. They have a pretty vegan selection if you order it without cheese, can't do vegan cheese? the vegan burger came out on brioche which has eggs from a dead chicken and dairy from a dead baby cow, i know, i know what do I expect at a burger place. well, midway review they gave me refund of nineteen dollars the fries were banging. the lack the care is the owners fault. period. read more

We came in at 11 am and were served cold burgers. The bison patties are definitely cooked from frozen. Any typical burger is at least a quarter pound, yet the patties looked like they came from McDonald's; We would've preferred to have eaten a fast food burger.. the price point (high) and quality of food (so low) aren't even close to the same level. Not to mention, the garbage in the dining room was already full when we came in... read more

We stopped here for a snack while walking around and we had Garrett and he was 10000000% amazing. He needs a pay raise for sure

We came in because we needed something fast. Counter service sounded fast! There was a line, but presumably the line would move fast? Nothing was fast. The line was slow. The food was slow. But most importantly, the food was BAD. I should have known I had done something wrong in ordering the elk chili when the employee at the register didn't know how to enter it. It was a giant rancid bowl, soupy with an over spiced tomato broth, rife with beans and the verrrry occasional cube of elk. I almost returned it because I was sure they had accidentally served me the vegetarian three bean chili until I found one on the seventh or eighth spoonful. I ordered it with cheese. The cheese was three slices on top, fully unmelted. I couldn't tell if it was bad American cheese, or vegan. Usually the one thing American does well is melt! The chicken tenders and fries were mediocre, but by far the best thing we ordered. The burgers tasted boiled, and were topped with the same, unmelted, unmeltable, unpalatable cheese. On the way out my son told me, "we need to bomb this place in the reviews. The world needs to know. We have to warn them." I am doing my part. read more

Great burgers, relaxed environment, friendly staff. Came after a ski day and had no wait. Lots of options too (ramen, bowls, salads) in addition to burgers. read more

VERY overpriced for the low quality . Girl behind the register was on her phone while I was ordering... answered my question with "I don't know" read more

I was nervous because i read bad reviews but maybe we got lucky or maybe other people are picky. Everything we got was delicious. I got the chili sunday and my friends got burgers. Everything was fire. Don't be scared to try it out! read more

3/5: Food was okay. I ordered the Steamies burger and did not have high expectations. It hit the spot only because our group was very hungry. 1/5: Service quality was a pitfall. Our cashier at the register was not interested in answering questions. It's completely understandable if the restaurant was busy. In this case, it was only our group of 6 in the restaurant at opening. Aside from the cashier's lack of interest in answering easy questions, I was confused how my single patty Steamie burger, side of onion rings, and soft drink came out to $30 PRE TIP. I was never shown a tip screen during the transaction and later realized the cashier entered her own tip without my input. For anyone who thinks their order total might sound too high for what they ordered, make sure to ask for the total cost breakdown because there is a chance the cashier added their own tip to your check. read more

I know it's Telluride, but $90 for lunch. The quantity was not satisfying nor the taste up to the seemingly good ingredients. The menu looked very interesting and we were hungry. We should have looked at the reviews. If there was chicken in my Greek Chicken Handheld it was very skimpy and had zero flavor. The rest of the ingredients should have enhanced the sandwich, but didn't. The Kahuna Burger was good sized and again, despite the ingredients no enhanced flavor and the sweet potato were just ok. The last member of our party had Raman bowl and they wondered if any spices were used. So, prices too high for the quantity and flavor of the food. Staff seemed to hustle, but no real emotion. I expect tourist prices being higher, but our feeling is Telluride is too pricey for the value we receive. The best part was the Girl Scout Cookie Shake. read more

Bar is cute and clean. The food as mediocre for our whole group. We got the elk sliders and found them to be a bit underwhelming in flavor and quality. Similar opinions were expressed by the rest of the table. The prices are quite expensive for the quality and quantity of the food. read more

We didn't read reviews before stopping in for lunch. Wish we had. Frozen patties. Cold cheese sauce. Warm beer. Zero service. I'd honestly give it a 2 star but as a small business owner that pains me. read more

Great burgers! A local recommended this place and with a bunch of hungry boys, burgers sounded great. The service was great, Garrett went above and beyond after hearing we were in town celebrating our friend's life & even brought us a round of shots so we could have a group cheers. Highly recommend for great service & a good diverse menu in a casual spot with great sunset views! read more

Saw all the poor reviews on these burgers so just got a mint chocolate shake instead. Not good not bad. I just know that there were way too many chocolate chips in the milkshake and they blended it a little too long. read more

Update: got food poisoning Outside seating view was great & that was about it. Honestly would say I had one of the grossest over priced burgers in my life. I asked for no kale but they gave me kale. The onions were soggy in oil which made me wanna gag. Plus the bison burger patty was clearly frozen & also hard to choke down. Fries were crispy but also frozen. Their burger menu lacks any substance or toppings. Which makes sense because they want to charge you $3 per extra topping. Forcing you to either spend $30 or more on a decent burger. Legit when I took the kale I asked to be taken off the burger it was the saddest looking thing in the world... just meat, cheese, weird aioli, & super soggy onions. The burger patty was also tiny so 80% of my bun & all the kale I didn't want was left over... Sadly I only ate here because every other resturant was packed. Makes sense now. read more

It's Telluride people - everything is expensive in this town. We were just passing through having never been here. We checked out the town, the great old buildings and were having a kick spotting the Hollywood industry types in town for the film fest. We needed some lunch and saw the menu of this place and decided to give it a try. When standing in line I looked at the Yelp reviews and despite them still ordered lunch. I had noticed that most of the Yelp Elites gave this place a three and almost all of the one star reviews were from those who almost never review. I got their version of a chili dog which was pretty tasty and yes overpriced. The grilled cheese was just OK and overpriced. I did like the huge range of sauces, spices and condiments you got add to your meal. The service was friendly and the food came out relatively fast despite the crowds. They have some nice outside seating. read more

Definitely a bit pricey.. but Garrett made up for it with his humor + service. We had a blast.

Was really looking forward to my burger of the month while in Telluride. Feel like there's nothing better than a classic burger in the mountains, but this would be anything but that. Ya, Steamies was just not it. Should have known by the name that this place was going to literally steam the burgers. Guess it's kind of unique, but it wasn't for me. The servers are weird - for someone out of town, I feel like they expected me to know what I wanted to order. Sorry!The double cheeseburger tasted pretty basic, something similar to The Habit. Incredibly lackluster and underwhelming, even the fries were mid. Would have liked to enjoyed my one burger a month on something worthwhile. A friend recommended this, but I don't know why. For those that are heading up to Telluride and looking for a good burger, you're best trying something else. read more

I would give this place 10 out of 5. Best sweet potato fries ever had, and really interesting and authentic sauces to try. A whole sauce bar. You can tell they are passionate. Vegetarians: i got the beyond burger and was dumbfounded. He cooks it better than anyone else i've ever tried to where i thought it was real beef. If you don't like the taste of beef then fair warning. read more

Steamies Burger Bar - Broccoli Slathered in "Molten Cheese" - Burgers Near Me - Telluride, Colorado

The menu says the Yeti burger is voted "#1 Best Burger in Colorado". Either it was voted by some rando or Colorado has a depressing burger scene. The patties were oh so basic with little no seasoning. Almost seemed premade and frozen. And only a quarter pound. It was such a let down. The lady at the register wasn't friendly at all. And the ice tea was "out of service". All of it...sweet, unsweetened. The sweet potato fries were basic as well. Nothing special at all. Definitely would not come back. read more
