Still the BEST burger in Colorado. I’ve had a lot of burgers in Colorado - 133 is still my favorite. No frills, no brewpub, just amazing burgers - without the crowds and wait. And always friendly local service.
They were amazing when they only had burgers, fries, and ice cream. Now? Now that they have many choices? Now that the best burgers in the North Fork isn't their only claim to fame? Now that I had the pleasure of eating the best calzone ever? They're now the best restaurant in the North Fork! Just my humble opinion.... Enjoy (yes, you will!)
BEST BURGER in 100 miles! Fresh ingredients ALWAYS, great flavor ALWAYS! Been here multiple times and every time it’s perfect. The best damn fry’s too! And garlic cheese curds that you won’t find anywhere else! Just amazing all around. Now I can’t speak for everything on menu but if you get a burger and fries you won’t be disappointed! The pictures I’m posting should speak for themselves too!
We’ve been back since original review many times; but I figured it was time to freshen it up. Added a couple new pics. Prices have followed inflation and like every where else, gone up. So the complaints about food for price, I got a DAMN GOOD bacon cheeseburger, fried and large drink and still say they’re competitively priced and CB’s (as one reviewer said) isn’t serving a burger close to this! 133BRGR still doing it right! What used to be called the “Hightower Cafe” is now “133 BRGR.” Completely different owner and staff. Today was their grand opening. A remodel job turned the fairly rundown cafe into a nice clean, presentable eatery that is simple but effective in the presentation of the meal. Complete with a exterior sign “133 BRGR” that looks like a highway road sign. Handmade 1/4lb or 1/2lb burgers with all the fixings and choices of sides, hot dogs, chili dogs, grilled or crispy chicken sandwiches, salads, chicken strips and more. Soda pop, Shakes, ice cream, cones and many flavors to choose from. I had the 1/2lb bacon cheeseburger with fries that was both hearty and tasty. The bacon was thick sliced, not some half cooked by microwave flimsy piece of maybe pork. My wife had the 1/3lb cheeseburger and fries. The buns were fresh and held up to the weight of the beef. Priced fairly; our meal was 24.50 which included 2 large drinks. “133 BRGR” is the best burger in the North Fork Valley!!!!
133 BRGR is worth the drive from wherever you live - I drive from Junction to eat here. The hickory burger is my new go-to, bit everything is top quality. I love the crispy waffle fries and ranch. You have to eat here to understand.
This place is amazing! Easily one of the greatest burgers, because of the insanely fresh buns and ingredients being crisp. The food is only as good as the team working there, that was so pleasant as well. Clean and open environment. Nice crispy balance on the waffle fries too. Random find as we stayed in Paonia.
Delicious food at a good price. We came from Montrose because they have good reviews. The garlic cheese curds were crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside. The fries had a nice crispy texture. The burgers were all delicious. My 11 year old finished everything including dessert. We all had "baby cones" which was plenty for each of us. Great place to eat if you live in the area or if you're just passing through. Highly recommend
133 Burger is always a go to when passing through Hotchkiss. We’ve stopped here multiple times and the quality never changes. The staff is always friendly, kind and helpful. This last trip two of us got the bacon cheeseburger and two of us got the meal deal for the day which was the hickory burger. The meal deal came with fries and a drink For 13.95. The burgers are always quality beef and thick and juicy. The hamburgers are always huge and make it hard to get your mouth wide enough to take a bite. They have fry sauce which was exceptional and not everyone knows about it. They do also have ice cream shakes and malts but have never had any from being so full after eating my burger. The restaurant was clean and very neat and good environment for all. There is plenty of parking up front or around the building.
