The menu is not huge but has good variety. The interior is not big but is quiet and relaxing with a laid back atmosphere with rustic but clean decor. You're not sitting in a huge noisy open box like a lot of restaurants. The waitstaff was very accommodating answering any questions and taking care of special requests. The prices were very fair for the portion size. Definitely worth a return trip to try other menu items. read more

We have visited Summa around 2 pm on a Saturday, and they happen to have brunch hours. So, the New Mex Stew and Blintze had a twist. I added an egg in the stew upon request, and the Blintze had fried chicken alongside. They were both very delicious, highly recommend. read more

This place is a gem!!!! Can in on a Friday afternoon for lunch. With plenty of parking it was definitely nice. Anyways we sat down and were immediately greeted with menus and cold water. Our waiter/bartender was very friendly and knowledgeable on the ingredients that were being used in every single entrée that we had questions about. We decided to split the burger flight tasting and get muscles as well. I would say this is the best place to get them in Colorado Springs. They also had plenty of cocktails and other batteries we used to pick from and definitely a cozy environment. Can't wait to go back and bring all of the friends with. read more

The food was horrible. The service was atrocious- the bar tender was so high it took him 10min to make 1 drink. I will never come back here. We had the fried chicken- very dry. Chips and queso- GRRROOSSS worse than store bought. Hummus plate- lame and hummus didn't have good consistency I forgot what I had in a bowl that was on the menu however they didn't have all the ingredients so they offered me something similar. It tasted terrible. I don't know how this place is open. With all the good restaurants in springs, they won't last long. I don't recommend this restaurant . read more

The outside of the restaurant was interesting enough. Then from the moment we stepped inside it felt we had been there before just from the hospitality we received from Tasha. We shared we were in Colorado Springs for the Earl Klugh Weekend of Jazz. She gave honest opinions and suggestions about the menu. We decided on the Spanish Oxtail and Chicken and Wine Pot Pie. They both were delicious! We shared with Scottie the chef how much we enjoyed the meal. See videos and pics below. read more

My stars are always about the food. Friendly neighborhood pub with KILLER bites. Second visit over two visits to Colorado Springs. The fried chicken? Welp, as a lifelong midwesterner, I know my fried chicken. This plate is as good as they get. Loaded summa pots- a must. I had every intention of eating 1/2 both. Yeah, didn't happen. Summa is on my permanent recommendation list and I WILL be back. read more

We were looking for comfort food on a Friday night. Summa did not disappoint. The fried chicken was lightly battered and perfectly prepared. The chicken and wine pot pie was a well developed stew. The crust top was a little doughy and would be better if it were puffed pastry. The hummus starter was very nice. Our waiter was nice, knowledgable and attentive. The dark space was warm and comfortable. Noise level was just right for good conversation. The playlist was also to our liking. We didn't have room for dessert, but we will be back. read more

The food is great. The service is crap. This is the second time I've been here and just like last time they only have one person working again. We've been sitting here for over an hour and still no food. read more

My new happy hour place! Loved the daily drink which was a pineapple jalapeño margarita. My husband had the Monster Brewing Stunt Double Lager, yum! The food was fantastic. We had the hummus, mini burgers and the New Mex Stew. Everything was excellent. Service was great! ( if you don't like crowds go during the middle of the week early) read more

Perfect location in Old Colorado, this rustic bar has a large variety of craft beers on tap. We came for the food and were not disappointed. While discussing options with our waiter, we learned we were talking with the cook. I truly believe he created the menu with love. My husband has the chicken pot pie. It was a cute crock filled to the top with a very coq au vin style stew. At first he thought he mistakenly received beef, it had a rich hearty flavor. I enjoyed a wonderful "Blintzini"; a mushroom filled crepe in a fantastic bleu cheese sauce, and the crepe was really full. We also had a side of the loaded pots. Small potatoes crispy on the outside and so fluffy on the inside. I want to come back for the creole chicken. read more

Absolutely loved Summa. I swear everything that goes into this building has been a fave for me. We came in just before Christmas with some family. Early enough that we didn't have a reservation and were sat right away, but it got busy fast and I would recommend a reservation on weekend nights if dining after 6pm. The atmosphere was chill, laid back, and homey. The food was a 10/10 and the prices weren't bad at all. Two of us got the mussels and absolutely destroyed them. I got spaghetti and meatballs (literally have never ordered this dining out but was craving it) and man it was good! My fiancé got a burger and thought it was 8/10. Grandma was very happy with her pot pie and she's a southern soul food lady! Service was a touch slow buttt the server (wish I remembered his name) was really cool. I think I heard that they had a call out so I am totally understanding of that. read more

Everything I had was delicious and you definitely get that comfort food feel. I ordered the bison stew and the chips and queso.

What a quirky and special place! In an Old Colorado City building, Summa is both a great restaurant and a cool tap house. We were greeted by friendly staff/manager (?) and had our choice of of seating since we arrived soon after opening. We were there for lunch and both had the New Mex Stew and the Shotgun Pots. The stew was a savory blend of beans, potatoes, red and green chiles, onions, garlic, and tomatoes which was topped with tortilla chip strips and, on request, shredded cheese, making it vegetarian rather than vegan. The Shotgun Pots were red and gold potatoes broken open then fried with a delicious house seasoning. Everything was delicious and we can't wait to visit again and try more dishes! read more

Brilliant food! Grand beverages! Spectacular service and camaraderie! And that doesn't even begin to describe the ambience! We stopped at Summa for lunch one afternoon and were utterly delighted. The environment is rustic and welcoming as is the host. It was relatively quiet with only a few tables occupied and I can only imagine how lively and exciting it would be at the dinner hour. After speaking with the owner, we selected a variety of very unique, creative menu offerings to create our own tasting menu, if you will. We added a couple of signature beverages to the complement the meal. Brilliant! Everything was prepared to utter perfection and delightfully delicious. Portions were generous and completely tantalizing. The menu is wonderfully creative - things you will recognize have a whole new spin at Summa. As an aside, we had our pup with us who enjoyed a couple of delightful pup burgers as well. He is a rather big pup. I can't say enough about this lovely eatery - a place we would return to again the next time we are in the area. Music, arts and food for the soul! read more

Wow!! An amazing place!! The food is simply delicious. I have been wanting to try this place. The service was good though the wait for our food was a little long but it was certainly worth it. On a hot summer day it was a bit warm inside as well. The standout dishes for me were the summa pots which are fried, somewhat smashed potatoes that are seasoned. They are perfectly crisp and creamy at the same time and taste great. I got something off the brunch menu (just during weekends at a specific time): buttermilk crepes with fried chicken. The crepes had a mushroom sauce and boy was it good. Loved the mix of flavors and textures. The Creole fried chicken is one of the best I've had in the Springs. I wish the chicken pieces were bigger but other than that it's perfect. The hummus we got was interesting with the turmeric but it tasted fine, just a little different than your typical hummus. Overall good food and great service. Will definitely go back! read more

When we arrived we got outside seating because I brought my dog. It's very pretty outside with shaded areas. We ordered a table mimosa, fried chicken, and the sausage peppers with rice. We got outside seating drinks within 5 minutes. We however didn't recurve our food until an hour later. It wasn't super busy. We were pretty muffed about it at first. But the manager comped all of our items without us asking. ( I have social anxiety. ) We still tipped $20 for our food. It was really good and spiced absolutely delicious. I would go again. read more

Had an early lunch here after visiting black bear nature center. The shotgun pots are amazing. We had the chicken in wine sauce which was excellent. It was filled with chicken, mushrooms, and carrots in a delicious sauce topped with greens. They are served in mini Dutch ovens and the presentation was wonderful. My husband had the sausage and pepper shot gun which was also very good. The ambience is taproom and owner is very friendly We finished off our meal with the seasonal berry cobbler which was served ala mode. It was absolutely delicious!

Burger picnic has the best burgers I ever ate! The choices of toppings are great, but I love the cheddar and bacon, and the blue cheese. The cobbler is just delicious, too. My husband and I split both and it's plenty because we are not big eaters and the food is so satisfying! read more

We wanted to try a new local business and I guess we came on an off day, but boy I do not get the 5 star reviews. Service was very inattentive, which is odd as we were the only customers there. We came in 15 minutes after they opened and weren't sure if they were ready for business. Chairs were still on the tables and the floor was completely wet. The person who took our order was in the middle of a FaceTime videochat as he handed us our menus. And we sat for a bit waiting for his attention to provide us our check. Again would be understandable if they were busy but we were the only customers there. We sat at a booth and I got up to grab my daughter from my husband and got caught on a loose staple or nail or something that caused a hole in my pants. My husband asked for plain black coffee along with our brunch and we suspect it was just instant coffee sold for $6! No refills offered. I hope for better experience for others. But we will not be returning. read more

Casual neighborhood pub with friendly staff and happy patrons. The food was such a wonderful surprise. The richness of flavors in the Bison and Beer d'Oven was incredible and the Rocket salad was large enough to share. My daughter enjoyed her meatball handheld and was glad she got the half portion! Lots of draught choices and my red blend was notable. We booked and they had a little welcome reserved sign on our booth when we arrived. Charming. read more

We went to Summa for lunch and we were happy we did so. Summa is Latin for whole-sum according to their display on the wall, and we tend to agree with them. The dining room is open, airy and bright. The staff was pleasant and engaging. The menu is relatively small, but I'm sure that is how they keep their quality high. We had 3 meals and an appetizer/side. All were very good, but the table favorite had to be the Creole Fried Chicken. It was perfectly cooked: crispy and juicy. It was served with a creamy dipping sauce that was amazing. We ordered a side of Loaded Shotgun Pots, which were smashed potatoes covered in cheese with bacon and green onion garnishing. They were good, but when dipped in the sauce that came with the fried chicken, they were awesome! We also had a Blintzini. Not my normal go-to because it was the vegetarian option, but it really was excellent. It was like a crepe wrapped around a stuffing primarily made up of a medley of mushrooms and then covered in a blue cheese cream sauce. You get two of them, and they were perfectly seasoned with great flavor! Last, we had the Western Cheesesteak. It looked really good but our cranky teenager said "It's okay". I think, I'd be willing to try it on my own next time we go. They also had a burger sampler that sounded really good: 4 mini burgers and you can mix and match what's on them. Please go give them a try, you won't be disappointed. read more

What a pleasant journey without leaving the Springs. A rustic up and coming place with a great beer and cocktail list and food that takes you international.

Fantastic! We are so lucky that we decided to come here for a late lunch and a local brew! The atmosphere is comfortable, cozy and purposefully decorated. We were originally going to go into Old Colo City but decided to come here for several reasons: Great reviews, good selection of local brews, and easy parking easy access. We had the fried chicken and crepes, loaded potatoes, bison and beer stew and apple cobbler. It was all delicious! The crepes were savory with the perfect amount of spice and the stew was packed with meat. We shared the loaded potatoes and they were crispy and hot. The cobbler was a perfect finish. Staff was friendly and helpful. Highly recommend. read more
