"Wonderful neighborhood place with a fun menu and Wonderful staff. When patio is open it's a 5 star but a little noisy in the dining area. Stephen was wonderful as our server. Had wonderful recommendations."

"Sports bar that is vaguely kid-friendly too, odd as that is. Strong and good priced drinks. Menu has all the usual suspects. Rattlesnake burger was good. Good for a quick bite. Reaper sauce was also a standout."

"The best jalapeño poppers I’ve found in the greater Denver area, if you’re into the simple fried ones not wrapped in bacon. The burgers are good but about 6” thick due to the huge bun so I’m not sure how anyone eats them like a burger. Surprisingly the pasta is very good, and the drink prices are relatively inexpensive. Overall a nice family friendly place with a large bar and friendly service. Taco Tuesday is a great deal too!"

"Visiting my brother in Lafayette and my Dad wanted a "good burger". Quick Google search found The Rusty Melon. Mission accomplished. Burgers were delicious. Fries crisp and hot. Cole slaw was fresh and not too sweet. I ordered the open faced green Chile cheeseburger. My brother wanted to send his back to get one too. LOL That said, he had no complaints about his BBQ Bacon Burger. And Dad was very happy with his choice too. Clean and quiet on a Monday at lunch. Food came quickly and our server was attentive and friendly. Worth a stop! Only complaint has nothing to do with the restaurant. The parking lot was designed for diminutive vehicles. Parking a full-sized pickup was a little challenging."
