I really want to like this place, I really do. Â I like the feel of the place, it's seems like a place I would really like...I enjoy the decor, I like the old liquor bottles the use for water pitchers and the staff is friendly. Â ANNND they have Cheese Curds, nobody has cheese curds in Colorado!
But here's the rub, in a town with several hidden gems with fantastic food, the Motherloaded sucks in tourists like it's that giant vacuum from Spaceballs. Â So throw a couple quirky menu items together and exhausted skiers from Texas eat it up. Â I feel like because of this they don't even have to try.
The food is average at best...it's quirky yet uninspired. Â I've had the Western Burger, the Shrimp Po Boy, the Grilled Monte Christo, Fried Chicken Platter and the Chicken & Waffles...all just OK.
If it's just OK, why have I been there so many times? Â It's a good question, I think that after a long day of Skiing/Hiking sometimes you are just too weak to fight off that giant vacuum....
