Balanced Rock Cafe

Fantastic service. I have 2 little kids and they split the order in the most thoughtful way. Quick & friendly service, and the kids reported the bison burger with cheddar was "amazing!" The natural cut fries weren't overly salty which was a nice surprise as most places use more salt than we'd like. Great experience. Great place to fuel up before or after a hike.

Jaden took our order. Was so Amazing friendly, so helpful my husband has to eat gluten free. The food was great. Their service was over the top. We highly recommend eating there anytime. Jaden is Great, and the rest of the staff was also Amazing. 👌

Had the bison burger. Tinder, juicy with excellent flavor. Service was great, atmosphere was rustic, place was clean

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.

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.
