Highline Cafe & Saloon

Have come here twice over the years. The first time was to escape a crazy rain storm in 2006. Had the Buffalo Burger and coffee on the cafe side. I remember it as being quite good.

More recently, the bar side was a stop on a motorcycle run. I have a grilled ham and cheese on sourdough. Very, very good. And fast.

The decor is very old school western. Divey, but clean.

Definitely going to stop in again next time I am down this way.

I took the scenic drive from Pueblo to Denver airport.  I stopped in at this place for a late lunch.  A  buffalo burger on rye with onions and a malt set me back about $15.  Not quite cheap but I think things get pricier up in the mountains.

The waitresses were friendly and clad in stained tee-shirts.  Mountain people.

The burger was delicious and filling, I really liked the fries.  The plate was greasy all over.

Later in the evening as I waited for my pick-up from San Francisco airport, the buffalo got its revenge.  I can not recall any previous bathroom experience that was as violent.  I suspect my colon was unprepared for the Rocky Mountain onions, but this really just deepens my memory of the place.
