Zoka's Restaurant & Bar

When we arrived on a Sunday early afternoon, they were super busy. Sign up on the door asked for forgiveness up front for being short staffed and that wait times would be a little longer. Despite the craziness of the crowd, all of the staff working was super polite and helpful and in constant apology mode for the delays. We ended up finding some spots at the bar before our table was ready. Food was really good. He got a burger cooked as requested, a little pink. I got the grilled chicken sandwich, the bread was amazing, not such a hard crust that it was hard to bite into. We both got the sweet potato fries, not over cooked. They have a chef and they take the time to take pride in what they serve. I also had the house mixed Sangria. If you like Sangria, give it a try. Overall, a small, small town restaurant that is working hard to meet the crazy busy of summer and tourist expectations. I think they pass with flying colors, especially if you can be human and have a little patience. Good food, drinks, and service. We needed to find a place to add some air to our back tire and the staff was able to point us in the direction of somewhere close. Thank you for the great experience.

On vacation from Texas, the Airbnb we stayed at recommended this place and it did not disappoint. Get the onion rings and the chicken fried chicken. it was delicious and the chicken was really juicy. Beautiful views out the front windows. Will definitely come back if ever in the area. This place is worth the drive.

I got there before the lunch rush on a Saturday, not very many people, and was seated outside immediately. I got the Zoka burger, and it was fantastic, perfectly cooked. I got the green chili as a side, so worth it, it was real green chili. I usually don't get dessert, but the peanut butter and chocolate cheese cake was too good to pass up. The staff there are extremely friendly and knowledgeable.

Our bartender/server was awesome! My husband was very pleased with his chicken sandwich on a ciabatta bun. I ordered the house vegan burger which I have to say typically "veggie" burgers don't impress me, and this was the norm that I experienced here as well. Crispy on the outside, squishy on the inside, lacking flavor, and the brioche bun seemed kind of stale. It didn't accompany lettuce, tomato, or onion, so I had to ask. The potato salad was good, but seemed on the older side, rather than fresh. I was told it was vinegar based, which was not, but good, none-the-less. The establishment looks like an old house, wood floors, and cute, dog style decor. A cute local restaurant in the mountains, with an outside, and dog friendly patio. I would definitely return, to try something new, and to give them another chance.

The blackened salmon burger was amazing! It had a wonderful, smoky taste that I was not expecting, and it worked! Also had the reuben sandwich and onion rings. The onion rings were super crunchy - the best I've ever had. I'll definitely be back!

Beautiful location and high quality food! My wife and I visit every month or so with our golden to enjoy a burger, fries, and prosecco. It’s the perfect stop on the way back to Denver after a morning hike!
