Almack's was one of the highlights of our road trip between Texas and Denver. We stopped there on…read morethe way up and again on the way home, and both experiences were excellent. The food was fantastic, the staff was friendly, and the atmosphere has a really cool, welcoming vibe. On our first visit, we ate inside and it was the perfect place to relax, recharge, and enjoy a great meal before getting back on the road. On our return trip, we ordered online for pickup, and the process was incredibly easy and convenient. The food was ready when promised and was just as good as our first visit. My daughter isn't usually a big burger fan, but she absolutely loved their smash burger. I tried two different egg sandwiches on our visits, and both were outstanding. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Almack's has officially become a regular stop for our family whenever we're traveling through Colorado. If you're passing through Trinidad, do yourself a favor and stop in--you won't regret it!

We were seated right away, and our server was friendly and efficient. I ordered the jalapeño margarita and the Wok sesame chicken. The chicken was definitely spicier than the margarita. There's lots of seating and a great view of the sunset from one of the dining areas. It does get quite warm when you're waiting for the sun to go down; you can ask for the shades to be lowered though.

We stopped at this cute little Food Court in Trinidad, CO while en route to Denver. It was the…read moreperfect little stop with many shops there. There had a Noodle Place, Mexican Restaurant, a Bar, and an Italian Restaurant. We decided on Grill 14 which was modern American Food. We ordered at the counter and they brought it out to us at one of the many seating areas. We got an Italian Salad, Sweet Potato Fries, and a Philly Cheesesteak. It was a cute little place that I would recommend stopping at if you are on the road.

Went in today to try the pie, and wasn't disappointed at all!…read more Took a swing in the dark on the topping selection, and was extremely impressed. Elk sausage, mushrooms, green chile, ooey gooey cheese, and oh my, my tastebuds came alive! The crust had just the right amount of crisp on the bottom, while the sauce had a delicious complimentary exchange with the ingredients. I ate way more than what I'd normally eat for lunch! Then to top that off, I was offered hot honey to finish off the crust that was absolutely fantabulous on it's own. This was the perfect way to complete an amazing pie! It was so good, that we ate the leftovers for dinner, and we were just as pleased, minus the great company that the restaurant offers with their local vibe and interest in your experience. Super cool folks! I also, out of curiosity, ordered a single slice with my go-to favorite... hamburger, pineapple, jalapeno, and extra cheese. It was tantalizing! On a hot Spring day, you can't go wrong with a cool drink and an amazing pie at the new Las Animas Pizza!

Secondly, when you go here, you need to ask for Rob to be your server. We came in with a party of 14 and not one of us lacked a drink, a napkin, or anything during the entire time. Rob was our server and he was also making the drinks and still had time to not only take our picture but make sure everyone was in it and there wasn't a glare! He did this all with the best smile and attitude. We were all just amazed at how awesome he was! We rarely encounter servers as wonderful as Rob! I would give him 10 stars if I could!

Wasn't packed midday on a Sunday but service was quick and our food came out quick as well. Food was warm and tasty, very flavorful. We got a chicken quesadilla, the burrito Colorado, and the tamale + taco platter. The environment was nice and pretty clean. I think the bad reviews here were dramatic because we had a good experience. Little tweaks here and there like more cheese on some dishes and itty bitty details but overall we had a great experience!

From the street it's very humble and walking in we knew this was a great diner/cafe with humble roots. The pictures on the wall were fascinating dating back many years of the Raton history. Service was awesome and friendly. Plus, they always kept our drinks filled! I ordered the Deluxe Frito pie. It came with beans, Fritos, cheese (that was perfectly melted) ground beef and green chile sauce. I'm not a big spicy person and our waitress said it wasn't too hot. Well, she was right on. It was awesome. Just the right sized portion too. Great place for a good meal and phenomenal prices!

The portions were quite generous and the food itself was Ok. The service was friendly, the food came-up a bit on the slow side, but that's Ok. They're been in business over 100 years, so that's quite a claim. Picked it because the parking lot was full. [Really] :) Give PSS a try rather than the various fast-food places in town that you've likely tried elsewhere.
