    Green chili and burnt ends sandwich
    Jim L.

    Looking over Ridgway's park, we stopped by the True Grit Cafe. Our party of four was greeted and seated by Kelly. She was very helpful with menu recommendations, and her service was kind and professional. The restaurant is nicely decorated and contains a lot of great photos of John Wayne and other cast from the movie, True Grit. The food was absolutely delicious! I had the burnt ends sandwich with a side cup of green chili.

    I came in on a fall weekend and it was packed! I was lucky to get a spot at the bar. The bartender was friendly and helpful. I ordered the elk burger and thought it was good. It has quaint True Grit decor.

    This is not all the food. More was waiting & we had turkey sandwiches driving back to Vegas

    I ordered Thanksgiving dinner for my folks and us. Dinner was AMAZING! Turkey, stuffing, mashed potato's, full berry cranberry sauce, green beans, gravy, rolls, punk pie, & bread pudding. All of it was so good. I had 2 plates, but so did my Dad! Thanks to Tammy & crew! Everyone! Love this place! Love Tammy & crew!

    Hiked blue lakes then came here for an elk burger and drinks. Great service, amazing food and perfect view! Perfect ending to a great day camping.

    I just ordered a couple of draft IPAs and french fries. The customer service was lacking greatly; I had asked if there was a wild wing sauce for dipping the fries but there wasn't so I just asked for ketchup....when the waiter put down the fries he gave me no plates or ketchup and did not ask me if I wanted anything when he did give me the fries. I had to get up and get the ketchup bottle from another table and squeeze the ketchup on the fries since I had no plates or even napkins. The view was hard to beat so that was what helped me stay remotely content. I would recommend but would ask for a different server than the one I had.

    "The Grit"! My husband finished the whole thing and it was impressive to watch!

    Really great menu. We've taken large groups there several times. With bigger groups the service seems to be a bit slow and the service staff confused, but generally pretty kind and the food is good.

    Had a great chicken fried steak. Very cool place just to hang and have some great food and a few beers.

    The bar atop Four Corners Restaurant (aka the Sky Bar) in the small and quaint town of Ridgway is…read moresuch a breath of fresh air (literally). This rooftop restaurant and bar is super cool...the vibe and views are spectacular!!! Service was top notch and the flame grilled cheeseburgers with seasoned potato wedges we ordered...well, let's just say they satisfied our hunger and the burgs were all cooked to perfection! And not kidding, but a chef (maybe, probably the Sous?) was delivering the orders...how cool is that? The musical entertainer, David Nunn, was awesome! Even our waiter jumped in on a song and killed it! That was definitely an unexpected treat! Overall I really dig this hidden gem! That's all...peace out!

    I've had the lamb ossobuco, achiote duck breast, the elote Caesar salad. I love the Southwest twist…read moreon the Caesar salad, the duck was cooked perfectly, and I thought the pairing of the lamb ossobuco and chipotle polenta was amazing. I've never had polenta so good. I like this restaurant because they are doing something different than all the other restaurants in the area, it's blend of flavors is unique, menu rotates with the season so there's always something new to look forward to. It's really refreshing to see a menu that stands out and delivers excellent flavors. Even the cocktail I ordered was spectacular. The views in summer from the patio are fantastic. I will definitely keep coming here.
