The Pine Cone - Bayfield, Colorado

Today my daughter and I stopped by to celebrate the start of her spring break with a snack and some ice cream. This was our first time here since moving here in December. These were, hands down the best chicken strips I've ever had. I opted to try the parmesan ones. WOW, so delicious. The waffle fries were perfectly cooked and seasoned. The ranch definitely tastes homemade and is so good. We also tried their loaded tater tots that are a special this month. They were fantastic. The ice cream is so nostalgic and yummy. And the service was absolutely amazing. The women who ran out to take our order and the man working the drive thru window were so helpful kind and cheerful. This place is a blessing to have in our small town. I have a sneaking suspicion that we will be regulars 😄

I have put off writing a review here for years since it's local. After receiving more pink burgers last week I couldn't hold my tongue. I don't know if you intend to sell pink burgers from a fast food joint, but I find that rather gross. Even back when my daughter was eating kids burgers they were pink. I couldn't eat mine last Thursday and I had to air fry it the next day. My daughter stopped eating hers when there was a section of meat that was more raw then cooked. Also what's up with the drinks having way too much ice. We have drank our sodas and then go to the bathroom to dump half the ice before getting a refill. At these new prices I want a drink worth drinking on and food that's edible. Great tasting food, but the burgers need to be cooked through at fast food places! Also the only thing I don't recommend is the Cajun seasoned chicken tenders, it's awful. Throw in the trash awful. The plain and garlic Parmesan chicken tenders is spot on.

We didn't get shredders this time. But many times in the past the ice cream is about an inch below the cup.

Went to get onion rings. It cost me over 5 bucks with tip, I received 12 onion rings, half of those were tiny.

*I don't know why I keep coming back, oh yeah it's the lack of options. Now the burgers are an inch away from the edge of the bun. The fries were cold and barely edible. They ask way to many questions at the drive up, it's frustrating. Then y'all want a 15 percent minimum tip 😂 How about a round to the nearest dollar option, this is a fast food joint not a sit down restaurant. Then I didn't receive any napkins or heaven forbid ketchup with the 18 dollars I spent. You know because it's so fun to spend your hard earned cash on a crap meal when they can't even provide a few condiments. They definitely try to upcharge you on anything but ketchup though.

Our family loves getting food here! We hit the drive through when on the go and sit inside when we have a little more time. The food quality is much better than the traditional fast food / diner and the customer service is excellent! Our favorite are the burgers, cheese curds, and ice cream!

Better than a fast food chain restaurant. The burger was good, and so were the fries and popcorn chicken. It was also priced well.

When the line starts to get long they actually have someone come out to take orders as well. Everything seemed fresh and it was still fast, I doubt I was waiting for my food for any longer than 3-5 minutes or so.

It's nice to see places like this still around.

The service was fine, better than most places... we only ordered 3 medium shakes and a medium sunday. $30. I'm in favor of supporting small businesses, but the inflated prices here will keep me away.

Food was good. Hamburgers, chicken sandwiches, kid's meals and ice cream. Waffle fries, seasoned fries and fried mushrooms too. The fried mushrooms were especially good. The fried items were fried right. The staff cares and works to provide a wonderful dining environment. The ice cream was much better than the typical Dairy Queen fair. Their Blizzard, Flurry product is called a Shredder. The best of the Reese's Pieces, M&M, Oreo, and others is the banana split Shredder. Bananas, pine apple, chocolate and vanilla ice creams, whipped cream - excellent! The iced tea was good. Drinks are prepared by the staff and they handle refills. The atmosphere is support for Bayfield school athletics, cheer, and drama. The restaurant is attached to a gas station. Don't let that put you off. This place is excellent for kids.
