Rusty Spurr Ranch

Where to Eat in Kremmling After a Day of Horseback Riding at Rusty Spurr Ranch

There’s a special kind of hunger that only shows up after a few hours in the saddle. You’ve spent the day riding off-trail across 10,000 acres of open Colorado mountain country, gathered a little dust, maybe pushed some cattle, and now your stomach is doing the talking.

Good news: the town of Kremmling is just down the road, and for a small mountain town it punches way above its weight when it comes to food. Whether you’re craving a big plate of ribs, a burger with a canyon view, or a cold drink to toast a great ride, here’s where to point your boots after you dismount at the ranch.

For a Hearty Sit-Down Dinner

Grand Old West

If you want the classic Kremmling experience, this is it. Grand Old West is a family-run American restaurant with generous portions, welcoming small-town Western charm, and a menu built for folks with a real appetite. The French dip with Western fries is a favorite, and if you happen to roll into town on a Saturday, do yourself a favor and order the prime rib. It’s the kind of place where road-trippers, ranch guests, and hunters all end up happy.

Los Amigos Mexican Restaurant

Craving something with a little more spice after your ride? Los Amigos serves up big portions of authentic Mexican food at reasonable prices, with fresh chopped salsa that regulars rave about and a wide selection of Jarritos to wash it all down. It’s a local favorite and an easy call for a filling dinner.

For Burgers (and a View)

BurgerBarn

Here’s a Kremmling gem worth planning around. BurgerBarn slings exceptional burgers made with high-quality beef and phenomenal beef tallow fries — plus they’ve got options for gluten-free, dairy-free, and even a falafel smash burger for the vegetarians in your group. Best of all? You can eat at their picnic tables overlooking Gore Canyon. After a day of taking in mountain views from horseback, this is the perfect way to keep the scenery going. Just check their hours before you head over, since they keep a smaller weekly schedule.

 

For Drinks and Unwinding with the Group

If you rode with us for a bachelor party, bachelorette party, or a corporate team outing, the day doesn’t have to end when the ride does.

Blacksmith Tavern and Grill

Blacksmith Tavern is the spot for a fun, lively evening. Great food (the ribs and green chili get top marks), a solid drink menu, and plenty to do — shoot a game of pool, throw some darts, and keep an eye on their event calendar for live music and karaoke. It’s a welcoming, energetic hangout that’s perfect for a group still riding the high of a great day.

1881 Tavern

For something a little more laid-back, 1881 Tavern pours craft cocktails (with a great selection of non-alcoholic options too) in a cozy space with a patio made for sipping. Pool table, local dogs, easygoing vibe — a great place to wind down and swap stories from the trail.

For Families

Kremmling House of Pizza

Riding with kids? Kremmling House of Pizza is a family-run joint with hand-stretched crust, unique pizza and sandwich options, and — the real kid-pleaser — a room full of arcade games and pinball machines. Grab a table, order a pie, and let everyone burn off whatever energy they’ve got left. It’s a fun, low-key way to cap off a family adventure at the ranch.

Fueling Up Before Your Ride

Not every great meal happens after you dismount. If you’ve got an early start with us, these two are worth knowing about:

Moose Cafe

Open at 6 AM, Moose Cafe is the go-to for breakfast before you head out to the ranch. Think excellent French toast, huevos rancheros with just-right chorizo, and their crunchy Sidewinder fries. A hearty breakfast is exactly what you want in your tank before a morning in the saddle.

Big Shooter Coffee

Need caffeine for the drive out to the ranch? Big Shooter Coffee is a cozy, surprisingly upscale little coffee shop with a huge selection of coffee drinks, homemade snacks, and even ice cream for the ride home. Grab a porch swing if you’ve got a minute to spare.

Ready to Work Up an Appetite?

Every one of these meals tastes better after a day of adventure. At Rusty Spurr Ranch, we offer authentic, off-trail horseback trail rides and true-to-the-West cattle drives on 10,000 acres just north of Breckenridge — with no hidden fees, all-in pricing, and every minute of ride time you paid for.

So come Get Outta Line with us, then go eat like you earned it. Because you did.
