Awesome bar and burger spot in Winter Park. Gets very crowded but they do a great job of not letting it get too packed together. Good spot to watch sports games too, they have a lot of TVs around. Ordered the double ditch burger with onion rings, and a house marg. The burger was awesome. Definitely messy and was falling apart by the last few bites, but well worth it. The green chiles were a nice touch for some flavor and heat but not overpowering. Definitely filling and the move after a long ski day. The onion rings were good too - nice and crisp. The marg was strong and a fair price. Overall had a great experience here and would recommend and return. read more

The Ditch on 40 - Double ditch burger with onion rings - Bars Near Me - Winter Park, Colorado

We have been to this place twice and had the same server both times. The first time he was absolutely rude. He acted like he hated tourist, which I am sorry but probably your money maker. The second time we arrived and saw it was him, I was like oh great. he started off snarky but as we ordered more food and drinks and relaxed and actually because really nice to us by the time we left. If the weather is nice enough I suggest sitting on the patio. They have a gorgeous view and plenty of seating. We tried the Juantons and they are served with their spicy green chile. It was too spicy for me so we got a side of queso and it was perfect for dipping in. I would get these again. The margs are good here too. Pretty strong. read more

The Ditch in Winter Park is one of the best burger joints we've been to in a long time. It's the quintessential mountain town spot that serves comfort food, good beer and solid margaritas. How can a joint with autographed dollar bills stapled to the walls and ceiling not be a hot spot during a ski vacation. The green chile cheeseburgers were delicious and the Margaritas were big and tasty. We loved the Tajin rim. If you're ever in Winter Park you have to check them out. They're right on 40 so you can't miss it. Salute @thejohnnycocktail read more

You come to The Ditch for freshly made maragaritas! They are the best margs in town! It was a busy Spring Break when we arrive and a perfect day to sit on the patio and order a marg. The staff was slammed but they were friendly and welcoming. We took a seat at the bar and we always order burgers. For the first time ever we tried the New Mexico side of the menu and ordered their huge burrito with the chile relleno inside with steak. It is like a Cali Burrito New Mexico style adding french fries on top and green chili. It was very creative and delicious. They don't skimp on the steak and it was high quality meat. I think it was called the Ultimate. Yes it pairs nicely with a margarita too. It's hard decision to order the Ditch Burger or something on the Mexican side. I guess we need to keep coming back to try new things. I recommend The Ditch when you are hungry in Winter Park. read more

This restaurant/bar is located on the second floor. There's inside or outside dining with a large " STOP" sign at the front so they can seat you. The interior ceiling is COVERED in money signed by various patrons! I loved the Zia symbols and UNM decorations! There's even a NM State flag hung outside on the deck along with a Colorado state flag! Nice touch! We were told, when we entered, that they are known for their margaritas. Unfortunately, neither Jon or I drink much so we didn't order one. There was, however, a couple who came in JUST for margaritas, so THERES THAT endorsement! LOL Jon ordered Maria's chili relleno plate while I ordered their Taste of New Mexico! (Cheese stuffed chili relleno , beef burrito and chicken taco). You can order your meal with hatch green chili, hatch red chili or BOTH (which they term CHRISTMAS!). Wow! We were not disappointed! I was, however, surprised that I preferred their hatch red chili! (I'm normally more a green chili gal ) Lovely meal and a nice memory jogger of my 20 years living in Albuquerque NM! read more

After a day at Hot Sulphur Springs, heading back to Denver, and decided to stop in for a first visit in the 12 years I've been doing this trip - to check it out. Love the simple, laid back vibe here - as you walk up a flight of stairs to the bar/restaurant and are greeted by a waist high gate advising not to come through until directed to. Didn't stand for long before we were greeted and take to our table. Our server was great - friendly and helpful with beer selections as well as patient as I took time to land on my dinner choice. The Ditch is very clearly a popular place as locals came in and came through the gate as they were chatting with the crew - no need to wait when everybody knows your name, right? The menu had a few options for me as a vegetarian, and I did have to take a few minutes to decide between this burger and the veggie burrito - it's always nice when that decision is hard to make when options are limited. Orders came out quickly and, just look at that burger prep and wrap job! Chefs kiss perfection! And, the onion rings? Also perfection. Really, really, well made burger and the green chiles finished it off so well. I appreciate that it was big but not overly huge or sloppy at all. Thoroughly enjoyed everything and am only sorry I didn't stop in years ago! I'll be back to try that veg burrito soon ~ read more

Came here after a day of xcountry skiing with friends. We arrived at 3:30pm on a Sunday and took one of the two open tables. Got served right away and the price seemed reasonable for the food and the area. All I can say is tater tots. Hot. Crisp. Fresh. Salty. We had some drinks. We had burgers. Sodas. $90 for 4 people. The Bitch and the Ditch were both yummy. Upgrade fries for tots or rings or sweet potato fries. All seem tasty. Food came so fast and tasted so good. The ambience is definitely sports bar with thousands of $1 bills taped all over the walls. Seems to be a thing. read more

We always love this place. They were short staffed this time but still killed it. The atmosphere is fun, even short staffed the service was still excellent, margarita was fantastic and the burgers were to die for. I don't eat a lot and I could have eaten another green-chili hamburger. I was in heaven. Thank you again for a great experience!! read more

I walk into a restaurant and I hear "Blister in the Sun" by Violent Femmes. Is this a punk concert? Is this heaven? I want to sprint up the stairs and run around the restaurant screaming the lyrics like a freak. But I won't and I didn't!! The Sausage family dines at the beautiful The Ditch on 40. Tonight we celebrate the marital union of Sporty and Spicy Sausage! 11 of us saunter into the upstairs diner like a Mormon family traveling in Tokyo. Immediately, the euphoria of one dollars bills and license plates surround us like the innumerable stars in the sky. Every George Washington has a message - a gamma ray blast from a distant solar body. Humanity engulfs me here in remembrance of all the Sausage family that preceeds me but I will never meet. I am home. While we peruse our menus like a wizard and their orb, our server dances over to greet us. Slippery Sausage notes, "She brings the vibration, she brings the party. If she was my roommate, I'd ask her to turn the volume down while I'm sleeping." All too true - I kept "raising the roof" because her energy was too infectious. Someone add a dance floor asap! We order drinks and the Trio to share. For the Trio, Krispy remarks, "Warm chips is a move. I never dream about warm chips, but if I did they'd be like this." Among our drink orders are rim-variations on the house margarita and beers. Susie and Beaky slurp their spicy margs with delight and the promise of knowing that their "insides will be totally fine." Pumpy sighs after her first sip, "The drink is well described. You ever had a skunky hose? It's in my nightmare." Beaky has ordered the Murphy. "The burrito is the size of a small baby. At first the chili relleno was hiding, but I found it. Finally - there it is! Like a Murphy bed." Grumpy's perspective on The Philly is also thoughtfully bed-oriented. "You can't go wrong with hatch chili on a Philly. I eat a lot of Philly's - nothing better. The texture is like a sturdy bedframe with a soft mattress interior." Krispy is overwhelmed by the size of her Ultimo. "it is... Too much for me. The green chili smother is my favorite part - it's sloppy, let's be real. It's a sloppy throw about like that dance floor make out." Slippery adds for his Ultimo, "the burrito is suffocating. It's become anaerobic." Thumana chomps and tears at his Myers Special. "It was one color like a green/yellow/grey. I remember it as yellow, it appears to me that way. I associate it that way. I feel yellow." Babs sings the yule-tide praises for her Chili Relleno. "I had a holly jolly time. Very Christmas - but not like Santa. It was crispy, he was not. It would be crispy like Santa in the sun. It touched my beans." The power couple of Spicy and Sporty feed each other bites of Veggie Burrito like Lady and the Tramp, kissing with each bite. "Massive... Couldn't do the green chili because of pork. A bite with everything in it was nourishing." Pumpy has a five-alarm fire spouting out her mouth like a dragon! "Spicy! Needed accompaniment of sour cream for white girls that don't handle spice. Pinto beans cooked to perfection. Sloppier than expected, but sloppy I could handle." Before we leave, we must staple our own dollar bill onto the wall. It... Takes us a while to figure out the stapler. Sporty is pleased to report, "They had a whole technology support team that was incredible." We PROMISE we are not 11 big dummies that couldn't figure out a stapler! When was the last time you gazed into the starlit night sky? Was it familiar or foreign? Did it excite you? Sexually? It doesn't matter. You were stardust before and will someday be stardust again. Just like George Washington turned into all the one dollar bills that wink at you with delight during your delicious dining. Thank you Flying Ditchman on 40! We'll be back. read more

Great atmosphere, great staff and service, great music, fair prices, and good bar food (almost everything comes with hatch green chilies, which is a win in my book). My ditch burger was good, and my son's blackened shrimp tacos were fire. Will be back my next time in Winter Park. read more

I come to Winter Park often and decided to come here after a couple drinks in a nearby area. The environment was fun and lively. Our server was very nice, prompt, and consistently checking in on us. the only complaint I had was that it was a little smoky but the server was nice enough to open some doors to air out the room. We ended up getting the fish tacos and the ditch burger, all the way style. I didn't get to try the fish tacos but my boyfriend enjoyed it and said it was very good and had a good kick to it. I have to give props to the ditch burger for being unique having hatch green chili in the burger which is the main reason why I wanted to try it. I thought it would be spicy but it was not spicy at all which I was okay with. The burger was pretty average and would say its quality was almost comparable to a fast food burger. For a burger like that it's pretty pricey. If you're looking for more of a restaurant burger, this is not the place. Like any ski town, you are paying for the location and the lively environment. read more

We stopped here for dinner and fell in love immediately. The atmosphere is super awesome, loved the decor and friendly staff. We sat on the patio and there was live music in the corner which was a nice surprise. Ordered The Ditch Burger, a chicken burrito and some chicken fingers for the kids. Everyone was happy with the food and the spicy Margarita was also delicious! What made the experience even better was the server Brad. He was such a nice guy and wasn't annoyed or bothered when we had questions with the menu. Great sense of humor and super attentive. Would definitely come back! read more

Just what we needed after our hike. I ordered the ditch burger, "all the way" add bacon and it was amazing. My husband did the same but added a fried egg. 10/10! Burgers came with a side of fries, which was perfect. You have to try their margaritas, really good! Our waitress was amazing and brought different beers for us to sample. They've got multiple TVs and we were able to catch the soccer game. Definitely recommend! read more

Great giant smothered burrito! A bit noisy and wild inside, but didn't mind. Staff was very personable and fun.

If you're into exceptional margaritas and greasy comfort food, this is your spot. The margs are honestly some of the best and they fresh squeeze the limes for each drink individually for each one. Highly recommend. This is definitely a divey spot and the food items reflect that. They put a New Mexican/Mexican twist on all of their menu items and green chiles are in almost everything. If you're a green Chile lover like me, then it's awesome. Definitely not a spot to come if you're looking for light or healthy menu items. The quesadilla was delicious, though very heavy and greasy. I was starving after skiing so I really enjoyed it though. The juantons were OK, not super flavorful and don't think we'd order those again. The staff here is always awesome. Definitely worth stopping in! read more

Great find on our trip to Grand Lake! A local told us about it at the gas station. Margs are fresh and Ditch Burger as well as Chama chicken hit the spot.

I feel like going to the Ditch is like going to eat at a friend's place. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted as if we were regulars. We were seated and we immediately ordered a couple brews. They have a great selection by the way. I then ordered the Ditch Burger. Being pandemically new to Colorado (don't hate), I hadn't really had a green chili burger outside of Denver. I'm not sure how it compares on the grand scale of all the green chili burgers of Colorado, but I'd put it near the top. That was a GREAT burger. I'm a fan. If I'm back in the area, I'd definitely stop here again. The service was great, the deck is awesome for people watching and enjoying the great outdoors, and who can't love an amazing burger? read more
