I would highly recommend this spot if you're in Salida. Sit outside on the deck and take in the sight of many people enjoying the river, filled with rafters, swimmers, and wakeboarders--it was amazing. Despite the busyness of this popular venue, the service was quite good, and the food was excellent too. They offered a wide range of menu items and easily accommodated modifications. The pub house burger, fries, and duck tacos were fantastic and paired nicely with a margarita. Service might be a bit sluggish due to the crowd, but it's definitely worth the trip.

This was my first time in Salida and this restaurant came highly recommended. It is great for a group of people purely because of the options available. You can get tacos to cheeseburgers - all at an affordable Colorado price. The portions are large and the food was great. We loved the variety of craft cocktail options and that you can get the brewery beer fresh. We had a great seat outside and the service was great. Very accommodating for groups - my husband returned with a group of 15 a few weeks later and had a similar sentiment that they were welcoming and service was just as great as our group of 4.

2nd or 3rd time at this location and always pleased with staff, service and drinks and food. During FibArk I was feeling a bit dehydrated so popped in and asked for a water and without question the bartender gave me one with ice. In our final night in Salida my wife and I with son, wife and grand baby stopped to eat. They were busy and at least 30 wait. We started to look for another place and within 10 minutes they called and said a place opened up and yes near the river. Service was excellent as they accommodated our grandson with high chair and commendable service. I highly recommend their Parmesan fries. We all had great tasty food. If you're ever in Salida stop in and enjoy great customer service and great food!

10/10. Had to make a pitstop in Salida to experience their epic patio. Watching rafters float down the Arkansas river right under you with a great view of the mountains, all I've ever wanted. Food was banging. All burgers come with two smash pattys and they use quality ingredients with all the fixings. This thing held its integrity down to the last bite and was throughly enjoyable. Paired it with the Penelope Cruiser IPA and it went down smooth, hoppy and not very bitter. Perfect afternoon outing if you can make it.

Came here on a Friday night and because it seemed empty and we could eat quickly. Turns out the place is just massive and there are many different areas to sit in. Looks like a great place for big groups. Our waiter, I believe Taylor was awesome. Kept the food and drinks coming. The food was so plentiful and we had a big box to take home a portion of the nachos. I wish we would have come during the day because it seems like they have a great view of the river. I look forward to coming back and giving the patio seating a try in summer. Overall 4/5 stars!
