Terrible food...can't belive owners built such a nice facility, yet, gave no thought to the terrible food and cheap wine. Many neighbors in surrounding Larkspur would love to support this establishment but say they can't stomach the menu!. Â Wish owners would clean up the menu, get a decent cook and add some, at the least, middle of the road wine selection!
Review Source:I was in Larkspur for a conference and tried The Spur. I think it is as good as it gets. The bison burger was so delicious that I went back for it three days in a row. The bison burger is huge and melts in your mouth. I had it with pepper jack and jalapenos and, let me tell you, it was orgasmic.
PROS:
The food is truly delicious.
The drinks are cheap.
The staff is friendly and very attentive.
The bathrooms are spotless.
The local crowd is eclectic and fun.
CONS:
Not a one. Can't wait to go back next April!
Service was friendly, but slow. Â My son asked for a lemonade when we ordered dinner and the waitress forgot to bring it. Â The fajita burrito didn't have much flavor and the french dip au jus was overly salty. Â We'd been here before and it was better, so maybe it was just the night, but I don't think we'll be headed back.
Review Source:For many years I would drive by the "old" Spur and wonder if it was worth trying. Â I always came down to the thought that it was just a bar with a couple of food items thrown in to keep you drinking longer. Â After a major renovation that made it look like it had to be more than a bar, and a conversation with a neighbor who thought it was pretty good, we finally (after 9 years!) gave The Spur a try. Â My wife had a good burger and I had a salad that was quite good.
I was torn between three and four stars, but a bar with a good salad deserves to be rounded up! Â If you live along the Monument to Castle Rock corridor it's a really good option to have. Â And if you are traveling between Colorado Springs and Denver then you should know there is a decent place to stop in what otherwise appears to be the middle of nowhere!
Although I'm fairly new to Colorado and never made it into the old Spur of the Moment, I did go have lunch today at the brand new location which is right next to the old one. It was very clean, friendly and reasonably priced. Â Had the buffalo burger. It was good for a $7 burger. The potato salad side was a little watery. Could use a bigger selection of draft beer at least for my tastes. Â I'll have to go back and see what it's like at night.
Review Source:This is our local watering hole. The service is great and the longer you stay the more free drinks you get it seems ;) Especially when the bartenders start taking shots with you. It is the most poppin right after the ren fest gets out on Saturday or Sunday nights or during their annual pig roast. I also attended the fundraiser there. They are good people. There is actually a backyard at this place and they have a nice lawn and horseshoes. I wish they would bring back the pool table that was there years ago. Everybody in there has kids of their own or has otherwise been ultra hospitable to my wife, myself and our daughter. Great burgers and real good chicken quesadillas!
Review Source:My husband and I have randomly discovered this diamond in the rough. Â When we first pulled up, we were not too sure of our choice due to the outer appearance of the place. Â However, today was our 5th or 6th time there, and they never disappoint on all fronts. Â We are always seated right away - the staff has that small town country courtesy and are smiling and eager to serve, but not smothering. Â As for the food - BEST dang buffalo burger I have ever had! Â Although the prices have increased about $1 in the last year, you get a generously sized burger & fries and is still very reasonably priced ($7.25 + $.50 per specialty topping. Â Automatically comes with tomato, onion & lettuce & a garlic dill pickle!). Â Will we be coming back? Â ABSOLUTELY!

Visited this place for a Fundraiser they donated 50% of all meals on Feb 20th to support a local Larkspur resident's battle with cancer. I think the food deserves 3 stars but the staff friendliness/responsiveness and the fact they were gracious to host an event like this bumps it up to 4 stars.
They serve sandwiches, tex mex and some fish sticks and what not.  I got  a fajita meat burrito with chicken and green chili while my husband got one with ground beef.  I really liked my meal, chicken had good flavor, ingredients were fresh, but he thought the meat was way too greasy... shocking for him to say that considering he likes greasy food but it must have been overly greasy...  Get chicken and everything is good!
Dear Bar,
Thank you so much for existing. Â See, I was driving down to Colorado Springs from DIA. Â Before I left the airport, I had stopped and grabbed a quick burger at McDonalds. Â It seemed like a good idea at the time.
Well, right as I passed Castle Rock, my stomach started to rumble. Â Badly. Â I was on the phone with my sister, and desperately asked how much further it was to Monument. Â She replied, oh, 20 minutes. Â
My stomach is now in full on revolt. Â I'm going to have to go out in the snow with the cows at this rate. Â Luckily, the sister remembered, that, yes, Larkspur was coming up. Â And, she's pretty sure there's a Conoco there.
I quickly take the Larkspur exit, and zoom down the road. Â Everything I pass looks closed. Â Finally, like a beacon of happiness, I see a bar. Â With lights on. Â I zoom into the parking lot, and race out of the car.
Now, I'm assuming this is a nice friendly place, given that the second I opened the door, all 10 people (It was a Friday night) turned around and looked at me. Â A few even smiled. Â I tried to smile back, but the second I saw the bathroom sign, I almost broke out into a run. Â
I slam the door closed, and see that there are two toilets, no stall. Â I don't care. Â I smack the door lock (who knows if it worked), and happily, well, you get the idea. Â Let's just say my innards felt much better. Â The bathroom was very clean.
I sheepishly leave, and the bar maid smiles nicely at me. Â I'm sorry I didn't stay for a shot, but I had to get to my mom's. Â I give you 5 stars because if not for you, bar in larkspur, I would have humiliated myself in the snow with cows. Â No one wants that.
Love,
Gail
