    • Naked Viking Burger

      You're not a simpleton, but life is complicated enough without adding existential crisis to your burger choice. The Naked Viking is the cheeseburger you've been searching for, with our 7 oz Colorado-Grown Patty, Melted Cheddar, and a Toasted Brioche Bun.

    • Barbarian Burger

      According to Wikipedia and whatever AI format you're listening to these days, a Barbarian is a human who is perceived to be either uncivilized or primitive. We don't necessarily think this burger is primitive, but sometimes civilizations are overrated. A 7 oz Colorado Grown Patty, Aged Cheddar, Thundersnout BBQ Sauce, a Mountain of Coleslaw, and Crunchy Fried Onions offer the battle cry for conquering the taste buds.
      $15.00
    • Blue Sky Burger

      We're not trying to reinvent the wheel here. Blue Cheese and Bacon go back to the Viking days. It's been whispered that more than pillaging, they wooed villages with this witchcraft combo. We're not messing around with that history. A 7 oz Colorado Grown Patty, Toasted Brioche Bun, Melty-Gooey Blue Cheese Crumbles, and Apple Cider Bacon will let you revel in VICTORY!
      $15.00
    • Boone Burger

      This burger is named after our big, beautiful, and rambunctious dog who was our constant companion for over 14 years. That's as far as the comparison to a canine goes. The Boone Burger boasts a slab of Cream Cheese, a pile of pickled jalapeños, our 7 oz Colorado Grown Patty, a Toasted Brioche Bun, which all makes for a remarkable collision of all that is good in this world. Sit, Stay, Rollover, and Skòl to the best dog that ever was!

No, they got the metric system there, they wouldn't know what the "F" a quarter pounder is. Then what doe they call it? They call it the Royale with Cheese!" Trying to forget anything as intriguing as this would be an exercise in futility! Thats enough Pulp Fiction for the menu so here's out version.
