Varied selection of burgers and beers! Hit the spot after a full day of hiking. Centrally located in manitou springs, a great area to shop and experience.

A group of 8 of us went to Border Burgers last Friday. It was delicious! Our server was really good! She managed our table, which was kind of challenging, we arrived at different times, we shared food, split checks, and she managed our table perfectly. The kitchen was on it too! Our food was made just right and really good. I will def reccimmend and return.

We enjoyed our Restaurant Week special kimchi burgers for the most part. Burger with Bulgogi and kimchi were the highlights. Mine was lukewarm (yet overcooked) and I saw and tasted the good kimchi because I didn't get a bun. But it was sparse - maybe 8 - 1/4" strips. They were easy to eat but just not enough. The guys with the buns didn't taste it at all. The other bacon burger was reportedly hot and delicious. I question if it was the only one made fresh?? The onion rings looked fabulous and sweet potato fries good enough even my husband ate them. We'll give this place another try. Service was friendly and somewhat fast for having a full house. Normal sized dining area.

I had their bacon cheeseburger and was pleasantly surprised at how good it was.The bacon was crispy but not burnt, the bun was great and the beef was excellent.My only complaint is that the huge portion of fries was a little too salty. A great lunch value that I would get again with no hesitation.

Average burger which was surprising given their award status. All come medium-medium well which isn't ideal for someone like me who prefers medium well-well done. However, we got the appetizer platter and it was delicious! Pickles were average but the fried mozzarella and potato balls were incredible!

Three stars overall due to a mix of things, but my burger was 4 stars in terms of taste alone. I ordered a Goat Patch wheat and a border burger and my wife had a margarita and American bacon cheeseburger. It was a heavy lunch rush when we got there, but we were seated quickly. Brandi was our server, who was friendly and gave us a heads-up on some upcoming local events. The best parts of the meal were the border burger, which I recommend, and the margarita. The burger toppings and sauce paired well with the burger and the fries and onion rings were good. I would pass on the wheat beer next time (there was a secondary taste to it that I didn't care for) and my wife felt the bacon cheeseburger was average. She left half of her bun since it was too much bread, though I thought it was a good meat:bread ratio on my burger, and her burger wasn't cooked as well as she had asked (so some of it wasn't eaten). The price was roughly what I expected. I would come back and try a few more burgers, but I don't think my wife would.

Went here with a friend for the first time for dinner. I got the Mac n cheese burger and she got the Nawlins burger. As others have said the buns are big. They're good but would be so much better if they were grilled or toasted. They should at least be warmed in some way. My burger was good and cooked perfectly medium. I could tell the beef is fresh. But I just could not get enough salt or pepper on it! It needs some more seasoning. So while it was good, not the best I've ever had. The fries are fresh cut fries which I like. They and the burger could have been hotter. They were just warm which is weird because as busy as they were you'd think they'd get the food out as fast as they can. But I think the cool bun didn't help. ‍ Service was good. Our server was really the only one working the dining area but she was running. All in all a decent meal. $25 for burger, fries, and a beer and tip. BTW, the "local" beer is Goat Patch Brewery and it's $6.50. I had the wheat. It seemed weak and flat. They have very light beers, dark beers, and fruity beers. Yuck. No ambers. So that was disappointing. It's fun to try new places but I don't know that I'll be in a big hurry to come back.

Took very long to receive meal. Fries cold. Burger bun was too much bread. Burger nothing special. Had t flag dow waitress for check and place was nearly empty. She was sitting at a table having a conversation when we left. Would rather have a $6 Wendy's This was academy branch

I got the Pittsburg black and blue burger. It was good. The truffle fries are really good. Good beer selection with plenty of local craft beers. Server was kind and did a good job taking care of us.

I think our burgers would have been pretty delicious if they had remembered to put the sauce on them. They were dry and the bread kind of took over the burgers. You need sauce to moisten the bread! Plus I assume their aoilis tie everything together. The salmon burger was Best sweet potato fries I've ever had!

Delicious burgers. My husband and I stoped by based on what we read on the reviews, glad we did. There was barely any wait time and the environment was definitely chill. Excellent taste and presentation. They’re huge! I had to eat mine by parts to finish it (Ate the shrimp first) Lol, Also, The SOTB drink I got was also very taste and sweet, which is exactly how I like then. We got sweet potato fries and regular fries that we had to take home because with the burgers it was enough, Lol but they’re were also delicious. I snacked on them through out the day.
