I am normally a red sauce eater but the green (probably the weak Sendy) was really good. Not spicy but full of flavor. Service was excellent again. 1st visit: I've been in Colorado for nearly two weeks and this has probably been the best meal I've had so far, even after dining in Aspen (Clark's, Aspen Public House) and Boulder (Flagstaff, the Kitchen American Bistro). I love chorizo tacos and the ones here served with potatoes and fried egg with a side of chips and salsa was one of the best I've ever had and I think that's says a lot after living a lifetime in Texas. The hot dog was flavorful and probably a foot long. It was served with lightly salted french fries that reminded me if the ones my mom used to make me. The Bloody Mary was also very good and slightly spicy although it was only garnished with a lime and no olives. The place is very small, seats maybe a couple of dozen indoors but there is also outdoor seating. Service was very friendly.

You order at the counter, get a table sign and they deliver your order. Very large menu in screens behind the counter. There were counter signs with food choices in Spanish. No separate paper menus or QR codes. They offer fish, chicken sandwiches, burgers and salads + plenty of dessert choices. I got a ButterBurger with cheese. What got delivered was literally a single patty with American cheese and nothing else. No toppings, like lettuce or tomatoes!! I checked the menu. If you order a single with cheese, it's $5.24: But the next screen offered you to build your own burger at $4.59 + $0.45 for 1 slice of cheese = $5.05; You can add ketchup, mustard, mayo and pickles for free. You can add tomatoes for $0.30; Fortunately, I also got their Cranberry Bacon Bleu salad. A real salad with crunchy lettuce leaves, cranberries, bacon bits and blue cheese crumbles. I opted for the fat- free Raspberry Vinaigrette from Ken's. Excellent! I opted for mashed potatoes and gravy instead of french fries. I wanted a chocolate milk, but the order came out as a chocolate malt. Contrary to expectations, no tip screen. Another odd item. Separate men's & women's restrooms, but only 1 person per restroom. There were handicap accessible.

Braums is on a whole nother level. I ordered the Value basket, Culver's Bacon Deluxe, Cheese Curds, and a Peanut Butter Banana Shake. I then ordered a crispy chicken sandwich to try. The pricing is comparable to Sonic's but I would rather have Sonic's at that point. Culver's Bacon Deluxe: 3/5 comparable to Sonic's. Nothing great about it, I did enjoy the cold cheese though. I guess they're famous for their burgers being butter burgers, I didn't really taste a difference Cheese curds 5/5 I don't order cheese curds often, and the only other place I order cheese curds is at Buffalo Wild Wings. These are better than BWW cheese curds Peanut butter banana shake 2/5 They took FOREVER to have my shake ready, to the point that I had to get up and go get it myself, meanwhile it was just sitting on the counter.

I prefer my burger on the well side, so I liked how it was cooked. But if you prefer more medium, you might have to ask, because I don't think you would have liked it. We got the fried mushrooms, which were good. Potato wedges and French fries (lol) -- I don't remember which one I liked better, I just remember that they needed salt. And my favorite side were the onion rings! The staff was nice-- we upped the size on our fries from small to large, and they had no problem with it (we did this at the window). We took it to go, so I can't comment on the dining experience if you eat on site. But there is an outdoor covered patio. My only other comment was that they stuffed too much food into one bag. There were three of us, and they fit all three burgers and sides into one bag, so by the time we got back to the hotel, the burger all the way on the bottom was completely squished. We obviously still ate it, and it tasted fine, but was just a little sad looking. Next time I'm in Glenwood, I'll definitely be back!

We've also happily recommended this restaurant to all our friends and acquaintances over the years. But August 15th night's experience was absolutely shocking. We arrived around 8:30 PM as a party of 6. The hostess didn't turn us away immediately--she said she needed to check on availability and walked away. While she was gone, another group came in behind us, and a different host seated them right away, even though they had no reservation. When our hostess returned, she simply told us there was "no room for us tonight." We found that hard to believe. Through the windows, we could clearly see at least three open 6-top tables inside. Outside on the patio, there were also at least three empty 4-top tables. We even offered to split up and sit separately, but both the hostess and the manager who came out later flatly refused--in a rude and dismissive tone. There was no apology, no explanation, and no effort to accommodate us. It felt personal and humiliating. We've never been treated like this anywhere, let alone at a place we've supported and recommended so many times. After yesterday's incident, we deeply regret every recommendation we've made. Such a letdown.
