Great locally produced food. Burger and hand cut fries were awesome ?. Hands down best burger in Salida and the Upper Arkansas Valley. Eric is extremely friendly and proud of his local eatery, and a Mega Widespread Panic fan. He was extremely busy on the Saturday we experienced his food, but he took the time to chat with us on his pet friendly patio dining area. Simple but quality tasting food. We'll be back... Recommend!

Delicious fish burger and Smokey burger which was grown nearby and freshly made. Felt healthy and the owner Eric was super welcoming and keen to reduce plastic packaging waste.

Favorite spot in Salida! My only complaints are that they aren't open 24/7 and it's hard to choose just one thing off the menu. Great burgers, chicken, chicken salad, ribs, chili, fries, you name it. Gluten free bread and cookies that don't make you feel like you're left out due to dietary restrictions. Friendly staff that represents the small town Salida vibes perfectly. Highly recommend!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free bread and cookies

Delicious burgers, insane fries and killer ribs. Eric sure knows his stuff. Matt (the cook) has never disappointed even after literally hundreds of visits. Eric and Emily are very friendly and will have a chat with you during your visit. I’ll never stop going to crossroads ❤️❤️❤️WSMFP!!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free buns and cookies available, not your crusty regular GF crap.

I only ever get a plain ole burger with veggies and mustard because that’s what I like. But it’s a great burger and the fries are great too. I haven’t been back to 50 burger in years but that place usually served me a dry hockey puck. Crossroads is my go to for a good burger in Salida. And the owner is always there and talking about this and that keeping the vibe friendly.

A funky little gem! How have I gone so long in Salida not trying Crossroads? The food is extremely top notch, with excellent quality of ingredients and great care in preparation. The cafe has a fun and funky vibe. Best of all, the owner and staff are always ready with a quick smile and pleasant conversation. He always gives me a chuckle. I’m working my way through the entire menu. Haven’t found one thing I dislike, yet!

This must have been our fourth time coming to this restaurant, found it to be a great spot after hitting the slopes & getting a quick bite before heading home. Food has always been great and always been treated with amazing service from the owner, himself & his staff.However, this last time we went in and most likely will be the last time we will ever go was when I brought a friend, & ordered two chicken sandwiches. The owner will know exactly who we are once he sees this review.My friend forgot to mention about changing her bread to the gluten free option when she initially ordered. Remembered about 5 minutes after the order had been placed, told the server & the message was sent to the kitchen.The owner comes out annoyed of the inconvenience and proceeds to tell my friend that because of her mistake she now cost him a bun of sandwich. Proceeded to give her a lecture over insisting that he isn’t afraid to tell her that she just made him waste food.Keep in mind, it’s an extra dollar to change to that type of bread, which she paid the difference and even included a cookie in the order to make the credit card charge worth it.Let me also add that it was “busy” when we walked in & there were multiple orders that went in after us.I have worked in the service industry before and know that customers forget to mention things or make mistakes & then it’s up to the restaurant to take that L, it’s apart of being in the restaurant industry. But that’s not even the case here that bun could’ve been used for a separate order that came in after ours, like I said there was only a couple of minutes of delay & as long it takes for food to come out, I don’t think anyone would have missed out on the quality of food and no waste would’ve been made. But the emphasis to lecture a customer about how a business works is not good service. It was a mistake, no evil intention was made. If anything like I have mentioned, we were very intentional in our apology when we were paying the difference.I also overheard the sever talking to a local customer about how many local restaurants are closing down and it’s hard to keep businesses a float since it’s a small town.I completely understand about not wanting to waste food and how businesses might be struggling.However, then the owner went on to talk to that local customer & asked how his day was going, & he said “oh just having a crabby day, it needs to be the end of the day already”.I will assure you that the owner was in a great mood before our little mistake, even greeted us, participated in small talk but as soon as that little mistake was done his whole demeanor changed toward US.Wouldn’t acknowledge us and making smart remarks while we were still present.So we felt that comment was targeted at us. Making us feel unwelcome.The food is amazing, but will never return with that type of treatment.So if you have all your ducks in a row, & never make a mistake, this place is for you.& if you do make mistakes & don’t mind being talked down to when you do, go for it!Oooor just make sure the owner is having a good day, so that way you’re not the punching bag.& before the owner wants to say, why didn’t we bring this up to him in person, well from the review you can already tell he wasn’t in the mood to take any feedback. Maybe by giving feedback through this avenue he can understand that this is how things are NOW, & people will come in to your business, pretend you can treat them anyway you want, leave & place reviews like this. No one will be silenced because of bully treatment. No matter how good your food is, it needs to be accompanied with good service to make the restaurant reputable.Thank you and wish you nothing but the best in your business.Dietary restrictions: Make sure you tell them about any modifications before you place the order. If not, “A tip from the service industry, he HAS to waste that food, for YOUR mistake.”
