One of the oddest restaurant experiences. Great restaurant, and I think one of the very few in this small town, that is open past 2pm. It'll be a while before I live this one down. Meanwhile, husband, who orders steak and shrimp, is getting a kick out of the ordeal and has texted his buddies about the oysters. Instead of bull's balls, i decided on the BBQ Ribs which I think tasted way better than bull's balls would have I guess she senses my thought process and whispers, "They're bull's balls!" Whoa!! Ok, hahaha never mind. I know there's a lot of streams, rivers, lakes around here, but where I'm from, near the Chesapeake Bay in Virginia, THAT'S where we get our oysters from. Waitress says, "Right here, in the Rockies!" I'm so confused. I'm in Colorado, where do they get oysters from, so I ask. I saw fried oysters on the menu and I thought about how long it had been since I'd had any. Welp, I learned all about Rocky Mountain Oysters at Boss Hogs Saloon We are traveling on a motorcycle from Richmond Virginia to the Grand Canyon and back, learning all sorts of cool stuff about this country. We would probably try this place again even though a little on the pricey side. Overall impression, the steak was not worth the price, but the appetizers, burgers, and chicken was definitely worth it. As for the fries, they were homemade, but had zero flavor like the chef for the day forgot to add any seasonings including salt.į) Another purchase was the blue cheese burger which was very tasty and a generous size. If we returned, we would get the chicken before we got the steak again. This may not always be the case but it was with us. They were bland at best and obviously not a good cut of meat. The fat was grisly and not one of the three were cooked correctly (two mediums and one medium-well). It was not overpowering and was an entire half of a chicken.Į) This is where things were a bit of a letdown - the steak and the fries. Only one type of lettuce and the rest of the options were for toppings like cheese, croutons, bacon bits, cherry tomatoes, etc.Ī) Probably best baked potato I have had in a very long time.ī) Homemade bread was very tasty, although the end piece was a little on the crusty side like it had sat for awhile.Ĭ) Being a saloon as well, all types of drinks were on offer.ĭ) The smoked chicken is possibly the best we have ever had. Three of us got a salad from the salad bar and it was just an ok option. Both are built around a jalapeño popper and were incredible. We tried a couple of appetizers including the chicken butts and the snake bites. Even though not overly busy, she was attentive to filling our drinks when empty.Ĥ. The rest of the restaurant seemed clean and the tables were not sticky.ģ. Cleanliness - the parking lot was clean of trash, the bathrooms were acceptable, but with two toilets in the ladies' room and no separating wall or doors, it left some to be desired. Having read some of the previous and recent reviews, I was not sure what to expect but we decided to take a chance.Ģ. When you are in the mood for steak, you just have to try a place called Boss Hogg's - even if it is just one visit.ġ.
