Restaurants in Cañon City

“The large Burger Bundle that we ordered was 3 huge cheeseburgers (made to order for each person) and a huge container of fries, which included regular fries, tater tots and curly fries! The food was hot, fresh off the grill & delicious. We didn't finish it...we brought about 1/2 of the food home! And the milk shakes we ordered (chocolate peanut butter, peanut butter, and grasshopper) were amazing; thick, creamy and delicious! All in all, a very satisfying experience”

“The service, the food and the prices are amazing!”

“Awesome place to stop in for a bite while exploring the attractions around canon city. Real old school vibe that’s relaxed with classic movies playing at the bar. The malts are decadent and delicious - a hit for all kids”

“Such a treat to have in our little town. Chef Charlie and his crew create such an inviting atmosphere that'd I'd travel far and wide for if I wasn't right down the street. Everything I've tried so far has been spectacular, great cocktail menu, and Tianna (hope I spelled that right) is such a sweet lady to have serving you. I'll be back again and again!”

“Thank you Marcus, Kelli and Kiddo Summerfords. 🌄✨ Off the Beaten Path in Colorado ✨🌄 While we’ve been here in Colorado — training on the trails, getting our minds right, and healing a little more each day — we decided to step off the beaten path and explore. Out of nowhere, we find this little Cajun spot tucked right into the mountains. I wasn’t expecting coonass food in the middle of Colorado, I’ll be honest. But my husband, being who he is, checks the reviews and says, “Love, it’s got amazing ratings. We gotta try it.” So we walked in… and y’all… and renowned Chief Marcus straight out of New Orleans. Wow what a treat and friendly as can be. Felt like I knew him forever. One bite in and it took me right back to the French Quarter — back to that first time I ever tasted real gumbo. That deep, rich, soulful flavor you can’t fake and you can’t forget. Good food really does heal the soul.”

“Lemongrass Chicken is my favorite. Amazing food. Fresh and clean cuisine.”

“The food was absolutely amazing and the service was outstanding. This was truly one of the best places we’ve ever been. Highly recommend!
We ordered the steak salad, chicken calzone, and soup. The portions were huge, but everything was so delicious!”

“It's funny how you can find some really great deals in Colorado if you're willing to drive a while. Jun's offers some highly generous portion sizes that are difficult to find in other places. I placed a carry out order of crab Rangoon, hot and sour soup, veg lo mein, and orange chicken and received enough food for four people. Everything was tasty and delicious. The little portion cup of spicy mustard was so spicy, unlike anything I've ever come across. We live in Salida where we get about half that amount of Chinese takeout for the same price. Will be looking forward to my next trip to Canon City so I can order more food from Jun's- this place is gem!”

“We had my son’s graduation party here on the patio- over 30 people. The owner and staff were more than hospitable and accommodating and they gracefully took orders off the menu from all our guests as they came and served quickly. I appreciate them helping my son to have a great graduation celebration!”

“great food friendly people”

“Wonderful, spicy food that is refreshingly and authentically Cajun!”

“The lattes were good, the staff was great with my kids request, the burrito was not spicy without the chili (which came on the side), they brought my 4yo crayons and coloring.

It was great to sit for a bit without any pressure to move on while my EV charged.”

“Great place to eat, very friendly to older people my grandma used to eat here often. I now bring my 2 children, and they are always patient with us and make us feel welcome. Good place to eat!!”

“Amazing all around. I had the Poke bowl. The best I ever had. Had the mango cheesecake for dessert. That was amazing as well. The staff was fantastic. The atmosphere was great. I can’t say enough great things. I will definitely be coming back. Great owners! Thank you Brandon and Brandy.”

“ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! the food here is to die for. you can tell the burgers are freshly home made with lots of love. definitely visit for some good and delicious burgers 😋😋🍔”

“My first time to Cafe Belay, and I’m blown away!!! I couldn’t decide between a lavender oat milk latte or a chai….so buy recommendation from the awesome barista I got a small in both!!! I’m in actual heaven these are amazing!!!! Lavender is made in house and so is the chai!!!! Do not drive by Cafe Belay without stopping!”

“Great spot to chill, get breakfast and coffee. Great baked goods. Fun and friendly staff. You'll usually find me there at least once on the weekends getting my weekly fill.”

“This Cold Stone is an absolute masterpiece in a cup! The staff here mix up way more than just ice cream—they mix in fun, laughter, and the kind of customer service that makes every visit a treat.

Even though it’s a chain, you can feel the local pride from the owners and workers. They’re the real magic behind the counter, turning a simple scoop into a full-on experience. Whether they’re singing, joking with customers, or piling on the toppings like pros, they make every visit unforgettable. We love our local Cold Stone!”

“10/10!!! My family and I just had the best meal at MUGS! The pancakes were to die for and they make the best onion rings i have ever had! Staff was friendly and will definitely visit again the next time we are in the area.”

“New location @ the St Cloud, serving hand crafted cocktails, local beers and same stellar hospitality. Happy Hour pricing (!) @ Fremont Public House ! Highly recommend.”

“My mom and I went here a few years ago and stumbled across Nirvana Culinary Paradise, a lovely restaurant serving Indian cuisine located in the heart of Cañon City, Colorado. The food here is absolutely amazing and even that’s an understatement. After taking my first spoonful of savory curry consisting of a variety of exquisite flavors, I instantly felt a wave of relief wash over me. For the first time in my life, I felt alive. I wasn’t simply existing at this point, but I was experiencing happiness in its truest form. Imagine being abandoned by your tour group in the wilderness all because you left a trail of snacks behind the group to almost get mauled by a very hungry grizzly bear. Now you’re lost, afraid, and the coldest you’ve ever been. The next few days, you see the first car since the tour group left you in the boonies to die. A sweet, elderly woman with grandma vibes rolls down her window and offers you a lift. You are alone and have no other options or place to go, so you accept her offer. She brings you to her quaint, peaceful home and wraps you up in a cozy plush blanket. You feel warmth not only on your skin, but in your heart. You feel safe. You feel comfort. You feel unconditional love. That’s the same feeling you will get from Nirvana Culinary Paradise.”

“Very nice big area laundromat and ice machine. Can walk to love's and nice store.Has an Arby's. Park is big has water electric and sewer hookups. Dog friendly and area for dogs. Children play ground. Super quiet and nice.”

“Amazing! We went with a group of right and they handled it no problem, everyone got a recommendation, and everyone was happy and satisfied before the good even came! Every dish was so good, and even those who prefer no dairy had easy (full) stomachs after. Highly recommend! We wish we could give more than five stars!”

“We ordered burgers on a Monday night and they were fantastic. Good price, delicious, made quickly and she said with love. I believe her. An awesome little bar in a small town.”

“We just stopped in for a quick bite and ended up staying for two hours. Bartender Sammy and server Lyz were friendly and helpful, and the Philly cheese steak was delicious. I’m so glad we chose it!”

“My wife and I enjoyed the VIP Wine Tasting this weekend to celebrate Father's Day. Quaint location next to Holy Cross Abbey and tucked away in Canon City. We were treated to a wonderful charcuterie board and 17 different wines. Our host was knowledgeable and yet allowed us space to enjoy the wine and quiet.”

“We stopped in Saturday evening and had a fantastic meal and the service was great. The highlight was the loaded baked potato soup, it's the best we have ever had. We live in Pueblo West and we will definitely be there again. Thank you”

“Ortega’s is our favorite place! Earl and Randy are awesome. We always get great service and food. The green chili and salsa are the absolute best.”

“Absolutely wonderful bread!!!!”

“Very good food and great atmosphere!! Great place to visit for out of tonwners!”

“I really appreciate the staff here. They go above and beyond. I stopped in for an extended work session while traveling - and during my time Chase offered to refill my drink, and Elizabeth brought me my egg bites on a plate when they were ready. Well done to the whole crew- and to the management for creating a warm staff culture.”

“It is a very nice place. I enjoy it there.”

“Did not eat there but the atmosphere was great and people were welcoming. The bartender does this dice game with everyone. Drinks were inexpensive. Cash only which I did not realize but my tab was only a few bucks so someone got me this time. Also doggy friendly”

Vegetarian options: The veggies are always fresh. A few choices of sauces and cheese.”

“Cute place! It was busy and service was good for such a busy night. Tables are squished together though - hard to get out of your seat when the table is full behind you. Food was good. Good stop after a day at climbing at ”

“Not bad needs better sports options but I’m a peon nobody.”

“ordered a 32 piece and were not disappointed! got Nashville hot and santa fe. Nashville wasn't very hot but still tasty. wings were great size and cooked perfectly. so juicy. fries also good. just needed a tad more seasoning. 8 out of 10 will order again!”

“food was fresh and amazing and price was fair. definitely will go back”

“Today as "newish" residents of Cañon, was our 2nd time at Happy Endings, and our good impressions were equal to our first. Beginning with Rae's greeting and attention to detail both for our order and comfort. She checked on us at perfect intervals and brought Cynthia, the chef, to meet us when we complimented our meals, from presentation to flavor. Cynthia told us a little about how she and the small crew which included Joe, turn out "miracles" on their small grill housed in the kitchen. In addition, we each took half of our breakfast sandwich and southwest wrap home for later! We'll be back for thirds and more!”

“This place is always on point. So delicious. If they had merch I would totally buy a couple t/shirts. Represent . Cheese enchiladas are sooo good.”

“had the adult grilled cheese. it was really good.”

“Waited about 20 minutes in line in the drive thru which wasn’t bad at all considering there was a lot of cars in front of me. Food came out fast and fresh. Friendly person working the drive thru.”

“I'm from Texas, and I know the DQ experience is different from living in both Colorado and Kansas. This one was clean, staff were friendly, and the location is ready to get to. Zero issues or complaints, and when it comes to a fast food place, that is great news.”
