    Closed at 5:45 on a Friday when they advertise 11-7.

    Sure wish they were open even half the hours they say they are open. Came many days in a row and was disappointed every time because they are NEVER open? I am starting to wonder if they closed permanently?

    always super kind and great food every time !! love the atmosphere. lots of cool decorations and lots of options

    Smoked turkey sandwich.

    Holy moly was the food giant and delicious. Going home from ice climbing, hubby and I were starving. The hunger shack is a take out window, but they have a cozy heated room to sit and eat in. The giant pile of food that arrived was overwhelming, but I managed to eat nearly the whole sandwich (and barely made a dent in the fries). Sandwiches come with fries and a drink and average about $15. 100% would recommend.

    Ewww They had their dog back there licking the ice cream machine. I hope they get checked out or inspected for food quality. Ew first I asked if this sandwich was good, maybe I got a piece of effort to say yes. The fish was frozen and tasted funky had two bites and threw the rest away. 17$ wasted and very dirty I don't recommend

    Ice cream

    I can only speak to the fries and ice cream, but I can speak very highly of both. The fries are perfectly crispy and seasoned, and the ice cream really hits the spot (even on a cold and windy day). COVID things: the outdoor windows and seating make this place feel very safe and easy.

    Oh my!!! Great decision to stop and grab lunch ( passed it and turned around to go back) . The line was a bit long and you have to have a bit of patience but the food is definitely worth it. They serve all sorts of BBQ choice.... Ribs, pulled pork, brisket and all the bbq sides..... mac and cheese, cowboy beans, fries , onion rings. There are also several sandwiches to choose from.... Rueben, steak, poor boy,Philly and more. We ordered a cheddar cheeseburger and added grilled onions and Hatch green Chili's. The burger was juicy, and very flavorful..... grab a lot of extra napkins! Lol... no, really! : p We also ordered the smoked walleye sandwich.WOW was it good! Fresh fish with the perfect smoked flavor and smeared with a great house made sauce. Both the cheeseburger and fish sandwich were served with fries and a drink. The fries are yummy.... Crispy and seasoned. There are also choices of hard ice cream and floats. The perfect stop on your way through town if you don't live up this way! Stop here and eat some great food! Can't wait to come back !!

    Chicken strips and fries

    This place is either really good or excellent when we come back from Vail, they're relatively quick but their quality is amazing. Super hot, tasty, seasoned food, the fries are incredible, chicken strips, Reubens, and burgers are so good and they have soft serve and ice cream too with bathrooms nearby in a separate building. Patio tables outside too if it's not a cold and windy day!

    Watch for this as you head onto85 in Salida. That will get you to the hunger shack and a great meal

We ordered a large pizza (Chicago deep dish) and their salad. It's very chill and relaxed! Again pizza! Stop in and check it out!!

We wanted to take a break on a long drive, so we sat down inside. We got lucky--no line. Our server was quick to greet us and brought cokes in big glasses with crushed ice. Yes. While we waited on food, I looked around and soaked in the vibe. This is a local's place in the purest sense, but has always felt welcoming, no matter where I'm living. Pizza--and buttered spaghetti w meatball for the younger diner--arrived quickly enough and we dug in. Mario's pizza stands out as "normal" pizza with every ingredient and flavor on point. You'll have to drive a long way to find any on par with Mario's pies. They're in my top three Colorado mountain town pizza joints and I've been to my fair share. The meatball from the kids' spaghetti was moist and tasty--good, not great. Five stars for simple excellence, good service, and the 60-70s pizza joint decor.

    We have eaten here a couple of times in the past. The town of Salida is a couple hours from where…read morewe live and we don't go there a lot. Every time we do go to the 50 Burger though it's good. Very consistent in all aspects of a restaurant; food taste, presentation and speed. The service is good. Although you order at the counter like a fast food place they bring the food out to your table. There is plenty of seating. The restaurant is always clean and inviting. Salida is a small town compared to many places in Colorado. So the competition may not be as much as say if they were in Denver but if they were there they would still shine because they're just that good. The burgers are very tasty, the fries are great, a large fry will feed two people easily. The shakes are really good. Just like in the past they come out with a full glass plus the remainder of shake in the stainless mixing cup. It's well worth the stop if you're in town and hungry.

Our hotel concierge recommended this restaurant which was close to our hotel. The only catch was that it closes at 8 pm & we only had 30 minutes to get there. Luckily we made it before 8 pm and ordered. The restaurant allowed us to finish our dinner. The food and drinks were delicious. There's a 4% off if paying cash.
