Up for a hike in Red Feather and went for a late lunch. GREAT fish sandwich- fries were good too. My husband loved the wings and beer on tap options were good. Smallish restaurant with lots of charm - we loved the fireplace and service was great. This place was suggested to me by a friend and when back in the area we would definitely eat there again :)

This local restaurant is busy but worth the wait. Nothing fancy but so good and freshly made. Even got to see some beautiful hummingbirds while we ate

The bartender was very pleasant, and almost interested in taking care of us! That could have been it. Fun atmosphere and pretty good food! Cold beer, and that's what it's all about!!!

We have been going to the Pot Belly for years. Mostly when we are camping but recently we took a drive just to eat at the Pot Belly. What a fun joint! I believe this was the best food we’ve had there. Our meals bested some of the better restaurants in Fort College!

Popped in here for some lunch after camping out at the lake. Was really pleasantly surprised with the fish sandwich which was two big fillets perfectly golden fried on brioche. Also really enjoyed the sweet potato waffle fries dipped in their green chili, which is also top notch. Had a delicious cold beer with one of Colorado's great views on their patio after eating. Super nice staff and great vibes

The whole experience was wonderful. Place was very busy and the service was still very quick and excellent. A comfy atmosphere with nice views. Highly recommend getting the pork burrito!

I really enjoyed the pork burrito with sour cream. It is quite large, no sides needed! The waitress was very nice and considerate. She mentioned that the burrito and burgers are what they are known for. I will be back to try the burger next. Enjoy!

We spent a beautiful Sunday driving to Red Feather Lakes. What a stunning part of Colorado. While you are here, don't miss the Potbelly Restaurant! We started with the green chile fries. They were very good, and enormous! The chile was nicely flavored and plentiful. The fries were just right. We shared the special which for the day was a green chile burger. It is served open face answer chose onion rings to go with it. I have to tell you that amongst our party we all agree that this is one of the best burgers ever! The patty was smash grilled on a flat iron and it had all the crusty beefy flavor that you almost never get from a burger. I don't know what or if they season the meat, but WOW is all I can say! The chile added to the burger without overpowering it. We had a super meal, and seriously, don't miss the burgers! Another member of the group had a patty melt and it was equally impressive. We loved it!!!
