I can’t believe the quality of food and service we received here. Our meals were delicious, gluten friendly and affordable. We can’t wait to make our way back.

Be sure not to drive past this hometown joint grilling fresh burgers to order. We stopped by on our way to Salida. The burgers were amazing and the toasted bun was perfect. The fries were a bit soft for our preference but flavor was still good.
Highly recommend the bacon cheeseburger.

The meat is fresh farm fed grass only. Exceeded my expectation of the cheeseburger! It was juicy, the taste was amazing! I usually don't like buns too much. But I loved their's. The ketchup is homemade. I will drive up there from littleton. Just to go eat there again! This says it all!!

Was I really hungry after coming out of the Forrest or was it that good. Does it matter? I was happy after I scarfed down a bacon egg and cheese biscuit sandwich!

The story begins on a crisp September morning in Alabama. The date was Friday the 13th. Not the kind of day one assumes to be wrought with luck. I took a plane north west from Birmingham, a place I had once held dear, in hopes to escape my gloomy mood. Denver was my destination. But upon arrival, the gloom of city still hung heavy on my soul. I prayed to the heavens, “please God! Lift my weary plight.” I drove south, my desperation mounting. As I drove I saw a light in the distance. A narrow beam that shown on a small shack. I rubbed my eyes thinking it to be a mirage. But the light still shown on the quaint shack. As I drew closer small bead a sweat breached the corner of my brow. Could it be? Could it actually be the salvation I yearned for? “The Hungry Moose’s Caboose” was emblazoned on a small wooden sign and the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen sat astride a small bench outside. But I paid her no attention. My senses were going wild. The smell of grass fed beef wafted toward my yearning nostrils. My pace quickened toward the counter, my mouth starting to salivate. I waited at the small window for a minute. Nay, a few seconds prior to being greeted by a polite man in a conductor’s cap. “What’ll ya have?” He said, the corners of his mouth turning upward. “Please sir, heal my woeful lot,” I begged. “The Trainwreck” he called out sharply to the cook, in a knowing tone. Then Something welled up within me, “This is what I’ve been waiting for,” I cried, tears pooling in the corners of my eyes. He retuned my gaze earnestly, then turned on a dime and hurried away from the counter. He emerged a few minutes later from the side door. “Your wait is over, my son.” In his right hand he wielded a bag who’s contents I cannot fully describe in written word. I could go on to tell the story of the meal. To describe the ecstasy of my dining experience.
But the story will end here, to leave you, the reader, in wonder, excitement and a desire to taste the rich abundance of “The Hungry Moose’s Caboose.”

I’ve driven 45minutes out of my way to stop here. The burgers are some of the best in Colorado. They’re right off of Georgia pass so after a nice hike you can devour a world famous “train wreck”.

This place is as good as advertised. Probably the best and most consistent burgers anywhere. Their fries are super fresh and I like the little bit of onion salt they put on them. I get the cheeseburger and ask them to add grilled jalapeños and it’s amazing. Love this place and wish it was open year-round as we travel through Jefferson a fair amount.

Great little place! The food was tasty and prices reasonable. We enjoyed breakfast and coffee this trip but look forward to trying their ice cream in the future.
