True Grit Cafe

Made the mistake of not taking a picture of our steak; just dove right in with our forks and knives. The cowboy butter added a wonderful flavor to the steak. Mashed potatoes and brown gravy, delicious. I did remember to take pictures of our desserts! GET THE BREAD PUDDING!! Their signature rum sauce was to die for. We got to meet the owner and as a southern gal, she knows her rum sauces! The apple crisp was very yummy too! Love this restaurant and our server was wonderful!

True Grit Cafe is a great place to eat in Ridgway! We had fried pickles, chili, chicken fried chicken, and The Famous Grit Sandwich, which absolutely lived up to the hype. Great western vibe, friendly service, and amazing food. Definitely worthy of a stop if you are in the area.

This was one of the better places near Ouray that had food. Actual flavor 🤌 We ate on the deck, the festival played music near by, the mountains played their part, and the drinks were yummy. Our waitress was quick with the food and very nice.

The location has film-historic value, makes you think that you're sitting at the table with John Wayne himself. If you grew up in and the era of Westerns like Bonanza, Gunsmoke and True Grit, then this is the place for you. And even if you're not from that era, if you appreciate a really good meal featuring local cuisine in a most delightful atmosphere, this is the place for you.

Hands down the best gluten-free burger I’ve had. Everything was amazing, and we actually came back a second time during our trip because the food was so good. The owner was awesome and super knowledgeable about gluten-free.
