Balanced Rock Cafe

1. After spending half a day in summer in trails of Garden of Gods, this place was just perfect for a refueling meal. I got the southwest burger with american. It was such a good burger. The bison paddy was such good quality. With all the toppings, cheese and sauce, it made an amazing combination. Got some mac and cheese from kid’s menu. It was good too. We enjoyed their cajun and regular fries as well.

   Since they make everything after the order, it takes some time for the order to be ready. But I am just happy to see they serve good food in a high volume tourist spot which is rare in my experience.

   Other side of the cafe has Starbucks drinks, ice creams and some bakery items. They don’t take Starbucks membership, but the drinks are legit, since I got the strawberry acai lemonade. We liked the chocolate ice cream too.

2. I wasn’t expecting much from a gift shop cafe, but I was blown away by the bison burgers. Those were some of the best bison burgers we ever had. The fries with Cajun seasoning were tasty, too.

3. We were in the area sightseeing and stopped in for lunch. This cafe is inside the Trading Post and I must say it was better then expected. I had the Mushroom & Swiss Bison Burger with the Cajun Fries. The burger was really good, the Cajun fries were good but a little on the spicy side. My husband had the Chicken Balsamic Wrap and he really enjoyed it as well. We sat in the outside area which was super nice and cozy.

4. I was here with a friend who bought my lunch so I ate it. but if I had spent the money I wouldn’t have. I don’t know what that was they called the bison burger, but it sure didn’t taste like any bison I’ve ever eaten. It was strangely flavored with a very odd texture.

   the fries were kind of old, but we got some cinnamon nuts and they were good.

   I considered getting some ice cream at the kissing camels coffee but one scoop was $4.29 😳 So…

5. This place is such a neat, hidden gem. The food was delicious and priced decently. We were in town for 2 nights and ate here both nights because it was so good! My husband had a bison burger and said it was very good. The teens and I had the crispy chicken sandwich and give it 10/10 (one of the teens said it was better than Chic-fil-A!).

   We also came back for ice cream at the Kissing Camels Coffee Shop. The ice cream was made in Colorado City and was very creamy and tasty. We ate outside in the patio/garden area, which was very pleasant.
