Maverick's Grille

I ordered the lunch special: Bison sausage with cheese and bell pepers with sauted veggies (summer squash) as the side.  It was good and the hot veggie option is rare for these type of places.

Yes there were a lot of cars parked out front, but I think some of them belong to the people who work there.  The restaurant was not very busy when we were there.  We started with fried pickles as an app.  They were thickly breaded, crispy and very salty.  They were also super greasy; there was a pool of grease under them on top of the wilted lettuce leaf they were served on.  Our friends both got burgers which neither finished and explained that they were very greasy.  I ordered a "mountain man" burger which was a mix of different game meats including buffalo, elk and several others which I cant recall.  I thought it was good.  It came with onion rings on the side which were also good.  My bf ordered their special, elk and pheasant sausage quesadila.  I tried a bite of the sausage and thought it was terrible.  It was like eating a jar of seasoning spice.  I guess it was ok with the quesadila because he took the leftovers home.  They have a big screen tv and a bar.  The service was good, but the food was too greasy and salty to eat there again.

This place would get 4 stars if it were in Denver, but in Granby I'm giving it 5!  There's something about getting a very good burger with friendly service up in the mountains that just can't be matched anywhere else.  We were looking for a place to eat in Granby after driving and hiking through Rocky Mountain National Park and the first couple of places we looked at didn't pass the "car" test.  In case you aren't familiar with it, the "car" test is, "Are there a lot of cars parked out front?"  There were a lot of cars and a lot of motorcycles.  We received a friendly greeting and friendly service throughout the meal.  The waiter said I chose his favorite burger, I forget exactly what it was, it seems like it had bacon, jalapenos and BBQ sauce.  He even hung around for me to take my first bite to make sure I enjoyed it!

Yumm!  

They had a very diverse menu, but it looked like everyone was ordering the burgers and sandwiches and staying away from the Rocky Mountain Oysters.

There burgers are big at 8oz!  They have a variety of meats: bison, elk, wild boar and it seems like something else.  I was able to finish my plate although my love could not finish hers.  Great value for the money.
