“We had dinner at Maggie's on Sunday August 31, 2025. We both had New York Steak with different sides. All the food was amazing. Cooked and seasoned perfectly. Our waitress Amanda R was amazing. She was attentive, friendly and very timely. We were told recently there was a new head chef and with his staff they are doing a great job on upping the game.“

“I only wanted a baked potato and this one did not disappoint! It was perfectly soft, wrapped in foil, and baked to absolute perfection. The butter and sour cream were served on the side, letting me add just the right amount.

The restaurant itself sits in the old mining town of Cripple Creek, and the atmosphere reflects just that simple, old-town casino vibes serving up basic food. As basic as a baked potato may seem, not every place gets it right… but this one definitely did.“

“I just enjoyed a really nice dinner at SaltGrass Rockwall. excellent service- his 2nd shift on the floor!!! Attentive, polite, knowledgeable! I ordered the 8 oz sirloin, house salad, green beans. Glass of cabernet. Salad came out quickly. Cold, crisp, nice blue cheese dressing. I ordered the top sirloin, medium rare+. It was perfectly cooked. Juicy, lots of flavor! Tender. Green beans, nice little crunch, not overcooked. After plates were cleared, wouldI like dessert, cheesecake maybe? No thank you, I'll finish my wine. Shall I bring the check? Yes please. Usually it's do you want dessert- (sometimes before we even finish eating) then drop the check immediately. So refreshing . Just a great dinner overall!“

“We stopped in Victor during a camping trip. The town was pretty sleepy on a Monday afternoon in mid September and we stopped in for lunch. The interior is “small town” basic and clean. Let me tell you, the burger (I had the green chili burger) was amazing, the fries were good, the service was friendly and prompt. I’d definitely swing by again.“
