Bacon Goodness at Bubba’s 33


Bacon Goodness at Bubba’s 33

Colorado Springs Food Guy recently visited Bubba’s 33 located at 5807 Constitution Ave. Colorado Springs, CO 80915. Although this is part of national franchise, we only have one in the area and it is definitely worth the trip. This is a sports bar themed restaurant with dining options for the whole family. The pizza is tossed fresh and the burgers are monstrous. They have more flat screen TVs than tables, so you won’t miss any game. I had to try Bubba's Bacon Burger. It is their signature dish with bacon and Bubba sauce mixed in the beef patty and topped off with American cheese, Bubba's smoked bacon, lettuce, tomato and onion. What a delight! As you know, burgers are my favorite dish and when you add bacon you know it will be a hit. They claim the beer is always served at 33 degrees. In addition to the food being amazing, our server was very friendly and attentive making this visit a great dining experience. It did not seem to matter how busy the place was, she did not miss a beat.  Refills steady and food hot and fast. So if you are in search of a family-friendly restaurant with something for everyone, stop in at Bubba’s 33 and tell the staff that the Colorado Springs Food Guy sent you.

Tex-Mex to the Max


ColoradoSprings Food Guy recently visited the Sonterra Grill located at 28 S Tejon St, Colorado Springs, CO 80903 which is an upscale Mexican restaurant with American Southwestern flair. The atmosphere is relaxed and the staff is so friendly and knowledgeable. This menu is delightful and their recipes are outside the box with culinary style. All menu items are freshly prepared. The chips and salsa are served up warm and delicious. However, my favorite dish is the Carne Asada. The beef is tender, well-seasoned and delectable. What sets this restaurant apart is the presentation of each dish – absolutely top notch. At Sonterra Grill, make sure you leave room for dessert and order their Banana Foster. It is flambéed tableside and is so decadent. What a wonderful ending to a night out. So if it is date night or happy hour, make the Sonterra Grill is at top of the list.

Los Frajoles Mexican Restaurant

The Colorado Springs Food Guy visited Los Frajoles Mexican Restaurant located at 665 S Cir Dr. Colorado Springs, CO 80910. Although this is a franchised restaurant, they are all independently owned and operated. The wait staff is very friendly and attentive. I sampled their fish tacos and the Burrito Grande. The portions are huge and the flavor is outstanding. I enjoyed the burrito as the steak was tender and well-seasoned. The fish tacos were lightly breaded and cooked to perfection. The chips and salsa were divine. They were warm, light, and tasty. The atmosphere is warm and inviting and best of all, very authentic making you feel like you are in Mexico. So if you are in the mood for delicious Mexican food, come on down to Los Frajoles and let them know the Colorado Springs Food Guy sent you.

Stop Short for Fast Food



Stop Short for Fast Food
The Colorado Springs Food Guy visited Short Stop located at 485 N Circle Drive, Colorado Springs CO 80909. I went there recently for lunch and the burgers are good especially if you are on the go. Burgers are flame broiled in the same fashion as Burger King and the fries are crispy comparable to McDonald's in terms of thickness and texture. The milk shakes are thick and absolutely delicious. And the sweet tea is actually sweet! The staff is always friendly and helpful. So if you are in the mood for fast food but tired of the same old chains, stop in at Short Stop and get a Bag of Burgers for the family.

Eat like a king at George's Gyros And Burgers

Colorado Springs Food Guy on my quest for good food leads me to George's Gyros And Burgers located at 3008 S Academy Blvd, Colorado Springs, CO. I ordered a Yorgo’s Gyro with fries. The Gyro was tender and flavorful and bursting with goodness. They hand cut their meat off the vertical broiler when you order. All gyros are served on a 7” fluffy pita bread with their signature homemade tzatziki sauce, onions, and tomatoes. The fries were hot and crispy despite them being frozen from a bag. The fries would even be better if they were fresh cut. The staff was all smiles and super friendly. Elda Esparza and Joanna Montoya told me more about the food and help me with my order. I think this is a great place for lunch or a quick dinner.

Wade’s made The Grade

Colorado Springs Food Guy visited Wade’s Café located at 3504 N. Academy Blvd. Colorado Springs, CO 80917 today for brunch. As you may already know, Wade’s Café has been around since 1953 and it is still a great place for breakfast and lunch. Their pancakes and omelets are what bring you in, but it is the friendly service that makes you come back again and again. I sampled the green chili smothered Breakfast Burrito and it was mouthwatering. The Everything and the Farmer’s omelets were spectacular, so no wonder they are considered to be some of the more popular dishes on the menu. For lunch, you should try the Rueben or the Chicken Fried Steak—simply delicious. So if you are in the mood for some legendary pancakes in a home-style family atmosphere, then come out to Wade’s Café and tell them the Colorado Springs Food Guy sent you.
