I don't know what these people are talking about with poor service and bad food. It's one of my favorite places in Colorado. Everyone who works there has been friendly and although the wait's been a little long at certain times, I've never had a bad experience. The food is delicious and it has that at-home mountain atmosphere. I recommend it if you're ever in Fairplay - as a local or a tourist.

Not only was the food appalling, but it was completely overpriced. I ordered the chicken fajitas for $17, and when it came my wife observed in horror that what I had assumed to be chicken breast was, in fact, reconstituted chicken. I am certain that the tomato bisque we ordered came from a can, and this was from their 'specials' board. It seems as though the guiding principle was to use the lowest quality ingredients known to man. But the thing that was most depressing, the thing that really left a bad taste in my mouth was the full tables and the people waiting to be seated. This restaurant is an insult to the good people of fair play and those who pass through it.

We've enjoyed breakfast and lunch many times at the Burro. Have passed it by when they are slammed - always check for full parking spaces and lines waiting to sit. (hate lines, hate traffic). Never have had a bad experience, always delicious food, most efficient and always friendly service. Recognized as a friend every time even though I have no idea who they are. Bill for meal always what I expected, noticed some people say they are overcharged? Prob same idiots who sit in rush hour traffic on weekdays going to work then sit in ski resorts morning and afternoon slammed traffic on weekends going to play. Read the menu! You pay for what you order. Then leave a big tip - try to understand what it's like to have to deal with rude, impatient, 'better than everyone else who know they are the only ones who know what is right' people...you know - Democrats. Gawd, That felt good! Dave Novak

The best part is being greeted by the wait staff. More than friendly. Start a conversation and you will have a new friend in Fairplay. I usually have to breeze through Fairplay on my way elsewhere. But if I can land there in the morning, I land at the Brown Burro. Basic good food and good cheer.

I've eaten at the Brown Burro for lunch and dinner, and it's not that great. It's fine, and it's probably one of the best places in Fairplay, but it's not very good. The food is plain and simple, and they tend to "nickel and dime" you with the extras. Its location is what keeps it in business, I suspect, and that's probably why I'll be back again someday.
