The Motherloaded Tavern

We always enjoy coming here, when we visit Breck.  Usually hit them at Happy Hour time (3-6pm) for some great specials.  Love sitting on their back patio and enjoy their trailer-trash wall.  Just FUN!   Always good service.

I really want to like this place, I really do.  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.  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.  So throw a couple quirky menu items together and exhausted skiers from Texas eat it up.  I feel like because of this they don't even have to try.

The food is average at best...it's quirky yet uninspired.  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?  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....

Quirky fun menu. Excellent bar food with a twist. We had the cot crunch panini, burger, cowgirl sandwich and the chicken tenders and all were very tasty. The homemade dipping sauces were wonderful accompaniment to the straw fries. Would and will definitely go again.
