8 Best Burger Restaurants in Estes Park

“After eating at soooo many high-priced restaurants around Estes Park, and pretty much loving every place we visited, but trying to eat at as many as possible before returning home, we hit this place the NIGHT before we left. Mostly because it was the only place still open and very close to where we were staying at Valhalla Resort. WHAT A HUGE MISTAKE!!! WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN EATING HERE ALL ALONG!!! The Elk Burgers melted in our mouths, the onion rings and mushrooms were spot on and plentiful, and the late-night service was polite and speedy!! Don't waste too much money eating at all the other places. Our only regret was not trying these guys first, as I doubt I would have eaten ANYWHERE else after dining here!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!“

“Amazing‼️🤩 GRILLED CHICKEN SALAD👀🙌 We had a long day hiking and wanted to pick up supper to carry back to our cabin. This was hands down the best grilled chicken salad I’ve ever had in my #56 years!💯 It was so fresh-avocado, corn, beans, tomatoes, cilantro, cheese, onions and crunchy tortilla strips with ranch dressing 😋“

“Not sure why this doesn’t have higher reviews! I was hesitant at first but their burgers are super good. Even their kids meal burgers are high quality. And my wife and I are foodies! It was in our hotel is really the only reason we went and we were very pleasantly surprised!“

“We visit whenever we make it to Estes. The staff are AMAZING! The burgers are good. The day we went it was busy but an amazing staff member was working through the busy line with a tablet to reduce wait time. My 7 year old got a shake and spilled it 5 minutes in. They remade the shake free of charge which was entirely unexpected and beyond appreciated. We will always go back.“

“We had our wedding reception here for 37 guests and it was absolutely perfect. The space was a great size for eating and dancing. The food was great all around from apps to dinner to dessert. They even stepped up and made some things for us that they don’t normally do after our cake and dessert table got cancelled 3 days before our wedding. The staff is beyond nice and helpful. There’s even a patio out back with cornhole and seats for people who don’t like to dance. Would recommend for any small event or reception!“

“Great food and fantastic service’“

“My brother and I stopped in last weekend to see if they allowed dogs on the patio (they do), but the patio had just closed for the season for service. Laura, the hostess, suggested that we could get takeout and eat outside if we wanted, and as it was a gorgeous, not-too-cold day, we took her up on it. She brought out our food and drinks just as we were getting up to pick them up ourselves, and she checked back on us a couple of times. WAYYYYYY beyond the call of her duty, and she was as nice as can be. AND she brought treats for the doggo! Oh, and my brother's chicken pot pie lunch special and my veggie pizza were both absolutely delicious! Highly recommend Poppy's -- ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“We visited this McDonald’s several times while on vacation in Estes Park, both for breakfast and lunch. Each time, the food was fresh and served quickly, which made it a reliable stop during our trip.

The staff was very friendly and did a great job even while handling large crowds, it was always busy, but they stayed professional and welcoming. The restaurant itself was also clean and well-maintained, which made for a pleasant experience overall.

If you’re visiting Estes Park and want a quick, consistent meal, this McDonald’s is a solid choice.“
