I got the French dip, and maybe it's because I'm working and moving a lot, but it was delicious in a way that a sandwich from a gift shop cafe has no right to be. I will say though, the fries are a little lacking and need more salt, but that sandwich was way too tasty.

The chicken sandwich was one of the best ive had.
Really neat spot to take a rest after visiting the Garden of the Gods.

Don't waste your money. The chicken ceaser wrap was all wrap and barely any chicken or ceaser. We got cold fries and when I asked for fresh they dropped them back in the fryer and refused to offer fresh fries.

We enjoyed a quick lunch here today. We had the Artisan Bison burger which was seasoned to perfection and the Caesars wrap.

I would not expect that a cafe in the middle of a store would be that good, but fortunately I was wrong. The food was made from scratch and absolutely delicious. The staff were super friendly and I wish this place was nearby so I could go every day.

Cute little food stop with a decent variety of food - wraps, salads, sandwiches, bison burgers, and kids meals. The staff was extremely friendly, someone said a tip was automatically added to their meal, but that didn’t happen to me. Josh at the counter was so kind and friendly that I tipped anyway. I got the chicken Caesar wrap, which had warm chicken that I loved. I wanted something hot like a bison burger but given the history with bisons I would’ve felt bad ordering one, so the wrap having warm chicken instead of cold like a lot of chicken wraps I’ve had was very nice. The Ceasar dressing in the wrap was very delicious. The chili cheese fries were alright, I wish the cheese was melted and that they didn’t use shredded. Would eat here again.

Not a bad lunch counter, but they request that you tip in advance with 15% the lowest choice and no customizable option. But the attendant was polite and I figured that they would bring my tray out to my table. Nice outside area, although some little green worms dropped into my hair. They called my number and I picked up my bison burger with cheese and mushrooms.... the bun was bigger than the burger and my request to hold the garlic sauce had been ignored, although was printed on two pieces of paper that I ended up with. Although the burger was well done, it tasted okay.... love those mushrooms... A pretty setting to happily chow, but then I realized that they wanted me to bus my own tray...
The bathroom was clean, but was out of tp

Everyone in my group was pleasantly surprised at the taste, servings and presentation of this place. In my experience, food isn’t always the greatest at touristy places, couple that with how much it usually cost and the experience turns into mediocre at best. This restaurant served a darn good wrap. The Cajun fries are yummy. Perfect amount of zest. We enjoyed the whole experience.

I was here with a friend who bought my lunch so I ate it. but if I had spent the money I wouldn't have. I don't know what that was they called the bison burger, but it sure didn't taste like any bison I've ever eaten. It was strangely flavored with a very odd texture.
the fries were kind of old, but we got some cinnamon nuts and they were good.
I considered getting some ice cream at the kissing camels coffee but one scoop was $4.29 😳 So...

Tranquil outdoor dining. So enjoyed the ambulance we made a return visit. Super casual menu well priced. Unfortunately, everything is saturated in salt! Stop, oversalting PLEASE. Staff pleasant, but have difficulty with accuracy.

We were in the area sightseeing and stopped in for lunch. This cafe is inside the Trading Post and I must say it was better then expected. I had the Mushroom & Swiss Bison Burger with the Cajun Fries. The burger was really good, the Cajun fries were good but a little on the spicy side. My husband had the Chicken Balsamic Wrap and he really enjoyed it as well. We sat in the outside area which was super nice and cozy.
