My friend was hungry for a burger, so he suggested we eat here.This is how it works. You walk up to the counter. The worker does not greet you. She is young and looks tired and over all this. The menu is on the wall, and you try to decide what you want while the worker stares at you with dead eyes. You and your friend order and the worker barks that she needs a name for the order. You tell her your name.You pay, then go to sit in the dining room. You wait for quite some time. Occassionally one of the workers walks into the dining room holding a stapled shut paper bag and bellows a name. You get hungrier and hungrier. You wait for quite some time. Finally the so-tired worker bellows your name...I ordered the Vegan. I didn't realize it comes with vegan mayonnaise on it. I hate all mayonnaise, either vegan or conventional. It wasn't the restaurant's fault that I didn't specify what I didn't want on the burger, so I don't hold the mayonnaise against them. However, both sides of the bun was slathered in the stuff. There was so much of the vegan mayonnaise. I did manage to wipe off most of it with a napkin, but I lost all of my (shredded) lettuce because every piece of it was coated in the condiment. I got rid of the raw onions while I was at it, because there were too many of them.The vegan patty was very good. It was very thick and did not fall apart the minute I sunk my teeth into it. It was more like a meaty burger than most veggie burgers I've had at restaurants. The flavor was very good too.The French fries were absolutely 100% fantastic. They were hot and crisp and not overly greasy. They were some of the best fries I've ever had. I recommend them 100%.Overall I did enjoy eating at Sage, and would do so again now that I know how to customize my order.My friend got the party melt (one patty) and gobbled it down. He really seemed to enjoy his meal.Vegetarian options: There is a vegan burger on the menu. It comes slathered in vegan mayonnaise. Mine had cheese on it. I'm not sure if it was vegan cheese or a mistake. If it was vegan cheese, it was really good vegan cheese. I didn't ask for clarification because I was just trying to be vegetarian, not vegan.Dietary restrictions: Depends on what your restrictions are. There's a lot of beef on the menu. And I did NOT see an option for gluten free buns.Parking: The parking lot is not big, and there were lots of cars (and several big trucks) parked there at lunchtime on a Thursday. I did manage to find a slot to slide into.Kid-friendliness: It's a casual place. There were a couple of kids there. One (a toddler) was screaming (but happy screams). It was all good.

SAGE in Pagosa Springs is a gem! Their burgers are hands down some of the best I've ever tasted, cooked to perfection every time. What truly sets SAGE apart, though, is their incredibly friendly staff. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with warm smiles and genuine hospitality, making you feel right at home. Whether you're a local or just passing through, SAGE is a must-visit for delicious food and a welcoming atmosphere. Can't wait to go back for another burger soon!

Stopped in for lunch while we were passing through. Am super glad we did.I ordered the "O.G." chicken sandwich, which was a large, hand-breaded chicken fillet that was perfectly fried.Spouse ordered the green chili fries with bacon... Crispy basic cheese fries, elevated by a smothering layer of delicious (even if mild) green chili, and sprinkled with a generous amount of homemade thick, chunky bacon.The place itself is a little bit echo-y and loud, but not too bad. In warmer weather, I'd bet the outside seating is great.Yet another one of Colorado's amazing little mountain-town surprises.

This is a must try. I had the local with half and half fries and a beer, all suggested by the guy at the counter. Everything was perfect, fry portion was well worth the money, and I left sad that I couldn't come back during my visit due to my work schedule. They had just lunch hours when I was there, so be sure to go out of your way for it.

Definitely one of the better restaurants in Pagosa. The OG and Sweet Heat were filling. On both the chicken was tasty, crust on the stale side and the buns were cold - as you can see in the photo, not warm enough to melt the cheese. The Sweet Heat chicken did have mucho flavor. They were out of sweet potato fries, it's spring break and lots of sweet potato lovin' Texans head to Pagosa! The fries were also a little on the stale side. Usually will do a lemonade/Sprite mix but the lemonade had an off-putting metallic taste so Root beer it was. Will try Sage again, fingers crossed it was an off day and the next visit will have warm, crispy chicken sandwiches and crisp fresh fries!

Welcome to your new addiction. The cashier said ;) The staff is sweet. This stop is cool & kept clean. The service a 100%. The atmosphere is a vibe especially with the music.I ordered a patty melt. It is the best patty melt I have ever had my daughter ordered a bacon cheese burger which was delicious. Both delicious, filling & worth the money. The regular crispy & sweet potato fires were yum.I will definitely recommend Sage to anyone & will be back for more.

The staff was super friendly and informative and gave great recommendations and you could tell they were passionate about the product they put out which is very rare now! The food was phenomenal and they literally have the best fries I’ve ever tasted and now I find myself craving them but I live almost 5 hours away! Will definitely be my go to spot in Pagosa though!! We’d love if one opened in Colorado Springs ?
