After a delectable beer tasting/tour at Elevation Brewery we stopped here for a quick snack. I had…read morepassed it during my previous trip to Salida and was really excited to stop, not to mention I adore the business name. I had the hot fudge sundae while Mom an Dad enjoyed cones of soft serve. The hot fudge was really delicious and I was happy for the snack. Also, soft serve ice cream isn't always easy to find so I was super happy. The menu featured a wide variety of items (from ice-cream to dim sum - seriously). It's a crowd pleaser for sure! I'll definitely be stopping back in when I am back in Salida.

This has to be the first roadside ice cream stand I've seen that serves Pad Thai! The burgers were…read morenot good at all (obviously just frozen patties), though they were served on surprisingly good wheat buns. The portion of fries that comes with the burger is rather small. I loved the Thai Iced Tea, it was perfect for a hot day. The lady who runs it was very friendly, so I'd recommend stopping here if you're in the mood for Asian food on your travels.

I got a regular (2 scoops) of chocolate chip cookie dough in a waffle bowl. They gave me an extra scoop! It was incredibly good.

Points for the fun atmosphere! I ordered a cherry ice cream float and they made everything in house. 1. The ice cream was to dieeee for! So creamy and just what you'd want out of a vanilla soft ice cream. 2. The cherry soda lacked flavor. It felt like I was sipping bubbly water. Maybe next time I'll order with extra syrup? Or forgo the soda part & stick to ice cream only. Overall, this was a pleasant experience & something to check out on your visit to Salida!

The variety of flavors available was impressive, and everyone found something they enjoyed! The adorable 50's car and vintage outfits added a charming touch that made our special day even more memorable. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the ice cream and the friendly service; they loved snapping photos with the truck, which became a delightful backdrop for many of our wedding pictures. A particularly touching moment was when Cindy graciously set up a picture of my husband's late grandparents next to the truck. His grandparents adored ice cream, and knowing that they left him money for dessert at his wedding made having Blue Truck Ice Cream there even more special. Overall, the kindness and dedication of the Blue Truck Ice Cream team truly made our dessert a sweet ending to an unforgettable day. We wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking to add a unique and heartfelt touch to their event!

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.
