    Walked in for dinner had a few minute wait. Several TV's playing sports, tables, high tops and counter seating to choose from. I ordered the California chicken club. The chicken breast was a little stringy, the bacon was not freshly made. The bun was soft and fresh, the guacamole was tasty. It also came with tater tots, which were perfectly cooked and served hot. My husband ordered the dirty South burger which consists of burnt ends, Mac bites, coleslaw, cheese, and bacon, bits. He said it was one of the best burger he has ever had. To complete the meal, we ordered a caramel cheesecake to share. It was very light and fluffy and very tasty. It could have used a little more caramel sauce. We were told that the owner makes them fresh daily.

    With a menu selection the size of a bible, I chose the dirty south burger while my partner went with the california chicken club. Our waitress, kendri was extremely hospitable even providing constructive feedback when quizzed. Results: 1. The burger was a lifetime top 10 of all time! Prepared a perfect medium well while the onion rings, bacon, coleslaw, and finally american cheese blended deliciously. Additionally, the burnt ends was juicy, thick and firm which complemented the chuck blend. 2. The chicken was just average: salty and stringy indicating it may not have been fresh? However, for both selections the tater tots side selection were excellent : hot and cripy. For dessert, we shared a $12 slice of caramel cheesecake. - a signature item. Although it did not disappoint, beware its not considered NY Style (ultra thick and super creamy / sweet). I would apply the name "western style" as it was fluffy, light and airy.

    We were passing through town and needed a good meal We were blessed to find it here!! Welcoming, incredible staff and excellent food. If we are ever in Alamosa again, we will make a point to stop here.

    Top notch! Food service and ambience! And hand made chocolate slippers! We loved it! We were in town for business and loved that we found this place

    Roast beef sandwich

    Read reviews of this establishment. It is a bit loud only because chef calling out orders and we were right across from him. Restaurant is very clean especially grills. We had mushrooms as an appetizer. WHOA- huge and beer battered- delicious. Definitely big enough for 3-4 people to share. I had the steak and shrimp tacos which was tasty. Had a side a mashed potatoes which was fine. My friend had the roast beef sandwich with green beans. Delicious- just like my mom use to make. The waitress, manager, and young lady clearing tables were super friendly. We were stuffed and didn't have any of the cheesecakes.

    Excellent service, great food, and has a hometown diner feel. As far as the desserts we tried the cheesecake and the chocolate slipper and they were delicious. The steak and shrimp were also good. Conveniently located in downtown Alamosa.

    So many reasons to make The Rubi Slipper a must-do meal in Alamosa. The service alone is so kind and welcoming that it would be alright if the meal was subpar. However, this is not the case. The burger menu is a full page - we ordered the incredible burger, which includes two burger patties, a mozarella stick, pickle and comes with fries. The house salad is made table side, and customizable however you like. We also ordered the shrimp tacos, topped with the tastiest of sauces. And do not leave without trying their cheese cake flight sampler!! Chocolate banana cheesecake was our favorite despite our initial skepticism.

    This is not medium rare steak. It's super chewy too.

    The sweet potato fries are undercooked. The sirloin steak are not chewable. Some pieces are like rubber. I threw away half of the portion. Slipper burger is good though. The cheesecakes look good, but the main dishes threw me off so much I wasn't in the mood to try their dessert anymore.

    The Liza Jane was awesome. Very spicy. Skip the Mac bits if you're a kid. Also had the French dip. The queso on it was a little spicy.

    Do they have reservations?

There was 3 other tables - it was not busy. Took a minute for menus, ok, waiter was maybe busy? but not with other tables, she was not to be seen. I just really wanted a good burger... it was my 'birthday' lunch with family. We were finally able to ask about the special that FLASHES when you go online. $5 BURGERS, Friday and SATURDAY. Was informed that's only on Friday, she was told last night. Opened APP on phone while sitting right in the restaurant, there it was, $5 burgers, Friday and Saturday. She was going to check. She didn't come back, so we left. I was so curious about their extensive menu, and really wanted a burger that I've read about being fabulous in other reviews. I doubt we'll be back, VIP or not. So disappointed. (btw - there is no ambiance.)

We started off with their Bavarian pretzel with queso and it was one of the best pretzels we've had. Soft and fresh out of the oven! My boyfriend had their beer flight and said that each beer tasted good. He ended up getting the patty melt with onion rings and was very impressed! The sizes of our meals were huge! I got the crispy chicken Caesar salad and the chicken was the star of the show! I sometimes am nervous about getting crispy chicken on a salad because I feel like it can be hard to get right but I found myself wanting more of the chicken on the salad!!

We got the pretzel as an appetizer.... The pretzel was greasy and so was the cheese they gave with it. The cheese seemed frozen, then microwaved. It had a really dull/greasy taste and odd texture. The French dip was like rubber. And the au jus sauce was bland. For her the best part was the side salad. She even said her beer had an odd taste to it. My chicken sandwich had no flavor. The red potatoes where severly over cooked on the outside and under cooked on the inside. My drink (the house black cherry cream soda), was really good the first glass! Second glass was flat and very syrupy. The server briefly came by a couple times. He would quickly ask "everything ok?", as he rushed by. He wasn't horrible, but he wasn't great either. Overall we where very unimpressed. Not somewhere we'll be returning to. For the price, I had better expectations.

I've been in this building before when it was the pizza place and original hideaway mind you. Walked in and it just didn't appear clean. It was a bit dark and some bulbs needed replaced. No biggie. Heater registers looked banged up. Ok but maybe the food is good right? Because you can't screw up breakfast...or so I thought. Hubby ordered the 2+2+2 with eggs over medium. I had western omelette with potatoes. The toast didn't even make my $16 plate as noted on the menu. Husband's pancakes were a very light color and didn't appear cooked. We asked for butter and were told they were already buttered. His eggs were also watery and not close to a medium cooked egg. I opened up my omelette to find it oozing...why is it watery? I swear the coffee cups were not clean as I could see DUST floating on top. Creamer looked grey and was not refrigerated. How long did it set out? Overall our meal did not taste good and it just didn't look appetizing either. I was grossed out nevertheless and ate some of the potatoes which were probably the only decent thing on our plates. Sausage patty looked dry and sad to be there with the undercooked egg with oil sauce. I'm so sorry to leave a bad review but I didn't think it was possible to mess up breakfast. We won't be back. I expected better for Mother's Day
