Boss Hogg's Saloon & Restaurant

Good meats! Good eats🥩🤤 Great Service! TY Lexi🤘🏼🎉👍🏼 Pro Tip: Just try and leave room for dessert🍰🥧 I had the combo plate and the wife had the bacon wrapped filet mignon. Both were good. Combo had big portions, and a large baked potato with all the trimmings. Want able to finish it Our waitress (Lexi) was an attentive, enthusiastic, pretty lil lady who checked on us repeatedly. Quick with refills and checking in. Would recommend Would visit again if I'm the area

We were traveling through LA Junta and asked our Hotel owner for recommendations of locally owned restaurants for supper and this was one of 2 they recommended. The atmosphere was saloon like. Service was prompt and friendly. Food was OUTSTANDING! I like my rib eye steak medium rare and it's usually served medium. This came exactly as ordered with outstanding flavor! My spouse ordered chicken fried steak and loved it!

Great small town country food, Western atmosphere, good friendly small town, some of the best cut ur own fries in Colorado. Good soup and salad bar. People from the city would call it a throwback from a bygone era. People from here just call it good local country food large portions great sandwiches, burgers, and steaks! Fries are made from cut in house Colorado potatoes n they're very good. Some old fashioned good waitresses too. Especially during day. The younger ones in the evening aren't bad either. Pretty fast except when super packed n busy.

The wife and I stopped here leaving town from a business trip. We really wanted to enjoy this place and got a good recommendation, but unfortunately just couldn’t meet our standards. The wife had issues with her steak and they admitted that they burnt our appetizer so we didn’t get our appetizer until midway through our dinner. They were very nice about things and gave us a five dollar discount on a $85 dinner check and my wife didn’t get to eat her steak but they did let us take it home so we can feed into our pig George thanks for giving us a $70 dinner for our pig. I wish I could say the customer service was good but the gentleman we had was more of what do you want to drink and eat so I can go back to doing whatever the hell it is. I was doing before you got here. The lady we had at the end. I wish we had through the entire experience because she was awesome

Decided to drop in for dinner. Staff was great, not terribly busy on a Saturday at 4pm. Food was good! My wife had the Filet mignon and it was super tasty. My French Dip had a good portion of meet on it. Full bar if you need it.

There was only one server on Sunday afternoon, and it was a little busy, but he did a good job. I had the surf and turf. I added the shrimp but probably should have just got that as the surf part instead of the crab cake. It was okay but not phenomenal. Fillet was good. Salad bar was nice and fresh. I didn't care for the mashed potatoes. I will go back when I'm traveling through town. I want to try their chicken fried steak. The absolute worst part of this family style restaurant is that there is no lock on the men's bathroom door. I also noticed that there is not a stall door for the bathroom stall. So, no privacy whatsoever.

Rocky Mountain Oysters were cooked perfectly, but the breaded mushrooms were literally burnt. Nice quiet atmosphere, especially since there was only one other patron in the restaurant. The waitress NEVER ONCE refilled my iced tea because she ONLY came to our table to take our order and to drop off our order. She stayed behind the bar and NEVER ONCE even looked our direction. The customer service provider industry has gone down the tubes in the Arkansas Valley. This use to be my favorite restaurant. Still love their "Snake Eggs."

Our waitress Myra, she was awesome and super sweet. Only reason I even gave the 2 stars was because of her. The food was not great. We have had several good recommendations since we moved here, and with family in town we decided to go give it a try. Our sampler appetizer everything was slightly overcooked and had a slight burnt taste, the mozzarella sticks were all empty, they brought us another 4 mozzarella sticks and these had cheese but the unfortunately the cheese was cold. Everyones fries where all soggy, one of the burgers had a soggy bottom bun, granted it was ordered medium well so it’s expected for it to seep, but the patty one half was overly pink the other half tasted burnt even had burnt crisp on the edging, the lettuce was soggy on everyone’s food, one even had a black spot bigger then a quarter on it where the lettuce had gone bad, the tomato’s where super thin and also soggy. The margaritas tasted like they were made with gin not tequila. The potato soup tasted like cream of celery. Over all the food was definitely not worth the price spent.

I was passing through and had a delicious burger with mashed potatoes and gravy. Next time I want to try a Delmonico steak.

First, they were open at 7:30 pm unlike most restaurants in La Junta. Quick, attentive service. Very reasonable prices. $5 Cadillac Margaritas on the rocks were a great deal. Filet wrapped in bacon, bbq ribs, ribeye all very enjoyable. Nice, fresh salad bar. A go-to in La Junta.

Came in for lunch food and service were excellent but they could use a new AC unit. Couldn't tell if the steam was from my food or the air.

Read reviews that the chicken fried steak was "jumbo" and delish. It was subpar. Gravy was a mix. The food was barely warm. The salad bar was decent. The staff was friendly but we had to ask server several times for the salad plate and spoon for the green chile.

The food here was good. Hard to find healthy selections. There was a salad bar. I ended up with the bbq chicken, which was very tasty. Didn't care for the "biscuit" or dinner roll?? The onion rings were the best as were the fries. Service was great. Our server was very helpful.

We are traveling on a motorcycle from Richmond Virginia to the Grand Canyon and back, learning all sorts of cool stuff about this country. Welp, I learned all about Rocky Mountain Oysters at Boss Hogs Saloon I saw fried oysters on the menu and I thought about how long it had been since I'd had any. Long time. So I ordered them. Then, i started thinking... I'm in Colorado, where do they get oysters from, so I ask. Waitress says, "Right here, in the Rockies!" I'm so confused. I know there's a lot of streams, rivers, lakes around here, but where I'm from, near the Chesapeake Bay in Virginia, THAT'S where we get our oysters from. I guess she senses my thought process and whispers, "They're bull's balls!" Whoa!! Ok, hahaha never mind. Now I know. Instead of bull's balls, i decided on the BBQ Ribs which I think tasted way better than bull's balls would have Meanwhile, husband, who orders steak and shrimp, is getting a kick out of the ordeal and has texted his buddies about the oysters. It'll be a while before I live this one down. Great restaurant, and I think one of the very few in this small town, that is open past 2pm.

The service was good and the food is alright. I ordered a full rack of ribs and got mashed potatoes and baked beans for the sides. The mashed potatoes were real and the beans although tasting ok, we're cold (not even luke warm). The atmosphere is kind of cool and the prices are fair. Be warned, the parking lot is a little small/congested.

I was in LaJunta for work on Friday and I have eaten here before with good service. I had a nice steak and meal. The dinner roll was hard and smelled old. My waiter did not offer dessert and I knew they had good desserts. I asked about the pie and he had to go check what they had. They were out of Lemon Meringue and he didn't offer ice cream or other desserts, their loss. I will find somewhere else next time.

If you can fight your way past the flies upon entering then step up to the salad bar for rusty lettuce and watered down bleu cheese dressing. Every meal looked disgusting. And there was little to no flavor. Baked potatoes are okay. Overall, zero stars were earned but one star is mandatory minimum.

We were dropping our kid off at Otero College and had a hard time finding a local place to eat. We finally chose this one at random. The place has a nice atmosphere with a cowboy theme. The food and service were amazing, and the young waitress was very nice (I regret not asking her name). Besides the great food, the prices for both food and drinks were incredibly low.

I ate dinner here a year ago and the restaurant is still a nice easy and reasonable place to have decent food. It wasn't very busy and Service was good with attentive waitresses. And you can enjoy the reasonable prices on beer wine and mixed drinks.

Nice western steakhouse/saloon. Reasonable steaks, good pours. Friendly service makes for an enjoyable meal.

Wanted to try this place while in town for work. I wish I would have read the reviews prior to going. When I got there I ordered the steak and lobster. The food came and the sides were absolutely horrible, the vegetable medley tasted horrible like they just threw it out of the can and onto my plate, had no seasoning whatsoever and the potatoes were lukewarm the steak was rubbery and the lobster was not cleaned properly before it was cooked. The best part of the meal was the bread and butter. Salad bar was okay.

This is an unexpected pleasure for dinner. Stopped in on a Saturday night before heading to our destination and were served a great big meal that hit the spot. The surf and turf special was a big New York strip and shrimp. Came with choice of sides which I went with mashed potatoes and gravy. The steak was cooked perfectly and tasted great! My wife had the chicken breast, again big and tasted great. Waiters wore masks and the tables spaced. Will look forward to coming back again. P

There are two Steak houses in La Junta. We'll two supposed steak houses. I do love a good steak, medium rare is when properly done pink, and tender. Cuts with a fork and the juices are filled with flavor. A good cold beer and baked potato make for a great night. I eat here often, as the other so-called steak house is not my idea if a steak house. Boss Hogs has it all, a good bar, great salad bar. The Snake Eggs, and Chicken Butts are fantastic. Service is very good and friendly. Boss Hogs has been around and will continue to. The angry reviews of a disgruntled ex-empoyee are just that, anger trying to get even for loosing his job. The ribs are tender meaty and plain great.

Locals eat here, because lack of choice in town. Ribs were meaty with good taste. Shrimp were just soso. Hand cut fries were good. Service was freindly. Location looking a bit dated. Full bar, Pepsi products.

Service and western ambiance is the best thing about this restaurant (hence the three stars). If you want good food however, go somewhere else (one star). My buffalo burger was very well done and cold when I asked for it medium. My friend ordered the bbq ribs and he said it was cold also. I could understand if the restaurant was busy, but it was NOT busy on a Thursday night at 7:00 PM.

Great food, excellent service and a nice atmosphere. The staff are always smiling and on top of things.

Wanted to treat my Mom to a nice steak for Mother's Day and this was not the place to go. Honestly, the food was mediocre... not fantastic, not terrible. My bacon wrapped prime rib was tough and I almost asked for some steak sauce. If I could've gotten our waitress's attention, I would've. I probably would go to 2 stars if our waitress had been even semi attentive. Never checked on us, didn't refill my water, didn't even come back and ask if we'd like dessert. I truly felt unwelcomed in this restaurant. After a so-so meal and the bum's rush by our waitress... the best thing about Boss Hogg's was leaving.

This place when they are on is great however, there have been a few times that the service was terrible and the food was lacking. If you catch them on a good day you will be very satisfied.

Wasn't impressed with the prices -- store front advertised $1.99 house margaritas and when asked to blend them was not told the blend would be an additional $4 each!! We were just told it would be extra? Who would've guessed! The 6oz bacon wrapped filet looked land tasted like it had sat in Kroger's meat cases few days too long. The baked potato with "everything on it" was $1.50 extra!! No where near the $ for the quality. The daily vegetable was canned green beans with a little frill.

Sub par food and sub par service. There's have one old lady covering half the restaurant. It took way to long to be greeted and place an order. The food took forever. If you don't have all night to wait... Go somewhere else. I ordered the BBQ combo plate. The two sides I ordered was the salad bar and green beans. The salad bar is all sorts of outta order. You have the lettuce in the middle, so people move one way, then have to go back over each other to get the dressing. The topping like bacon, croutons, and sunflower seeds are back on the opposite end of the dressings. The lettuce had a lot of brown spots. Tomatoes were squishy and tasted weird. The ranch seemed very watered down. My dad got a half rack of ribs .. he said his potato seems to have been the I've for 8 hours. He said the ribs were good though. My sausage was cold and rubbery. Skip it if possible. The ribbs we're really good. Not sure what the rubbery meat is.. they called it Beef... It probably is, but should add a note that it tough like jerky... Covering it in BBQ sauce doesn't soften it The people who say before us bairly got their food when we were ready to go. They were pissed. I didn't even finish my food before I had to run to the bathroom. I had given them 2 starts... But as I sat there... Pondering without a door on the stall.... It is going back down to one. Didn't really enjoy being walked in on... In all my glory. Finally got the check and tried to pay.. of course they don't accept American Express. What year is this? 1998?

Prompt service and food like my grandma used to make. Homey atmosphere that made me super comfortable to enjoy my meal. Thanks Boss Hogg's.

The servers did a good job on drinks but the food was so bad that I will never return again. Most of the food came out cold. We ordered three combination platters and half the food in the platter was missing for all three meals. The only good thing was the burger. Everything else was horrific. The guacamole was avocados and nothing else...

Pleasant surroundings but several flies present buzzing around. I had the chicken fried steak special not very appetizing. Frozen steak more breading than meat. Tasted bland. Rocky Mountain oysters were somewhat over fried some were very chewy and very crisp. Waitress was nice I left most of my food on my plate and she asked if it was ok. Don't rush here. Not very tasty.

My collègue and I are here the food was tasty and the salad bar was nice but we both had GI issues after. Not sure from what since we both had chicken. The food is tasty though and you get a lot of it so great gif left overs

Horrible experience. Absolutely horrible. Let me start by saying this was my 2nd time here. The first time was for lunch. I had the rib plate, and I was disappointed. It was like they just threw ribs in a crockpot, and smothered it in bbq. Gross. And super lazy of the cooks to serve this up. But hell, I figured I'd give them another try some other time. I mean, there's not a lot of eateries around when one is passing through La Junta. Well, had dinner with 3 coworkers here last night. Every one of us agreed this place will never get our business again. We would have had better luck at McD's or Taco Bell--at least we would have gotten hot food and fast service. Our waitress was SO SLOW. Took forever to do anything from bringing our drinks, clearing salad plates, and bringing our food. And our damn food came out COLD! The best part of my entree was the dinner roll, which we all know is store bought and isn't good to begin with. It's a sad day when a store bought dinner roll outshines your own food. I WILL NEVER COME HERE AGAIN.

Quick stop in for lunch, while passing through town. A local police officer recommended this establishment. Everyone (8 of us) enjoyed their meal. I thought mine was good, but really just typical bar food. I will say the server was good, and she kept up on all requests.

Boss Hogg's was a great choice. The food was delicious and the staff was very nice and attentive. Our server was awesome. We would recommend this place and would come back.

Service was great, but the food was not so good. The salad bar was okay, but limited.

The service was amazing considering there were three large groups. I had full rack of ribs not to good tuff.

I worked there for a few Months and I got fired for certain reasons so I'm gonna expose this place they have roaches everywhere in the kitchen where the food is all over the dishwasher at the bar and the boss comes in sometimes and if he drops food on the floor he just picks it up and puts it on the plate to serve he doesn't care it's gross food is still good though but would not recommend

I've been here a few times. Had an excellent cheeseburger the first time but was in the mood for shrimp the 2nd. The shrimp was ok, but I was hoping for something a bit more fresh so will opt for the burger next time. The wait staff was relatively prompt and friendly enough. Though it has a hometown feel, the facility seems a little on the dingy side (maybe they need a better vent for when they fry stuff?). That burger was good enough to bring me back though!

We love this place, every time we come to La Junta this is our must stop place. The best cheeseburgers, chicken fried steak sandwiches, and fries I've ever had.

Ok, crazy but I don't eat meat, this was still a great place to stop for great eats. Staff was awesome, she was the only waitress on, she was quick fast and efficient which is rare now a days. We enjoyed everything and had more to take home for later. Awesome stop!

Good hamburger and excellent french fries. Chicken fried steaks are very popular locally.

I ordered a half rack of baby back ribs. The meat had an unpleasant aftertaste. My guess is that it was due to freezer burn. The wait staff was quick and friendly. The coleslaw was okay but the salad just so-so. I would neither go back nor recommend to a friend.

I have come here for years, and I enjoy the food and atmosphere. I have always been treated with respect & Love from the staff, over the years. I always order the Specialty Burger or Steak. Recently, I treated a large local group & was happy and proud to do so. However, the waitress that hosted us was extremely rude & unapologetic about anything that went wrong with our order. I was told by another Guest, that it was pointless to turn her in to the Management team, as they were all good friends. I have interacted with the owners in the past & know how to get a hold of them. I am happy to reach out to them, as I regularly visit their other location. The waitress Melissa is "Extremely Rude" & unprofessional. I am pleading with Tim, to get a grip, and protect our reputation in the La Junta area, as we enjoy this establishment! Talk to you soon!

I loved this place sooooooo much. food = A+++ service = A+++ enjoyment = A+++ WILL DEFF COME AGAIN!!!

Nice service, suuuuper cheap drinks, okay food. I ordered the fish and chips on a Friday and asked for tartar sauce- but she said they didn't have it since they only serve fish one day a week. Fish and chips need tartar sauce, in my opinion, so would it be so hard or cost prohibitive to keep it on hand? Definitely worth a return visit!

Came as a group. Some of our food was cold. Some of it undercooked (frozen fish) was still raw. Their side of mixed vegetables were veggies from a can. Staff was friendly. But food wasn't good.

We have enjoyed Boss Hog in the past but had a very disappointing Sunday dinner. We got the steak special and our steaks were ordered medium but came out dry and we could barely cut them or chew them. Baked potato was brown in the center because it had been over cooked or maybe cooked the day before. Also, steak sauce containers and salt and pepper shakers could use some extra cleaning.

This review is just from hanging at the bar for an hour one afternoon, so take it or leave it. I'd been coming to this structure since it was the Hog's Breath Saloon; used to get beers here and shoot pool with fam when I was in town. They've since changed the name, expanded the restaurant dining area, and squeezed the bar down. It's still homey, and I want to check out the food some day. The patrons at the bar are fun as well; we got in a pig-counting contest among all the decor and lost count somewhere in the twenties I think. It seems alright as far as a potential restaurant destination goes, I miss the rough-and-tumble old days though.

This is a classic local business, with a tremendous varied menu. We've been here several times and always leave full and happy. We try to hit Boss Hogg any time we're in town.

THIS IS A ZERO STAR REVIEW I remember eating at this restaurant when I use to play softball. I remember great service and spectacular food.... This time, it wasn't the case. I came with some friends to the restaurant. From the get go, I had high expectations for this restaurant. When we sat down at our table, my friends and I were socializing and laughing. Our hostess, of all people, had the audacity to comment on our conversation. For one, she had no place to listen to our conversation in the first place, secondly she believed we were talking about her. Rude, inconsiderate, and plain disrespectful in my opinion. I hope this hostess or bus girl from what I saw, gets a lesson on how to treat paying customers. This use to be a great restaurant when I was growing up but this place has obviously not hired the right staff to make it feel like home. Server description: young, probably college, more than likely from the area. No way an out of state employee would treat us like that since we are from neighboring towns. Long hair, probably should get some jeans that actually fit and fix her attitude.

What a great staff! Food is good if you pick the right things; steaks, burgers, etc. the filet is wicked awesome. Always busy and worth the wait, this is one of the best joints in the Arkansas river valley. Consistent - Kathy and Kaitlin at the bar, Queen Melissa and Tim along with the other servers are always making the experience fantastic!

This place is fantastic the food is out of sight. The service is fast and friendly you will not find a better cook steak or burger cooked to perfection actually anywhere.

Excellent and prompt service, decent prices and good food.....my Daughter and I both had the Slopper; could have used a little more green chili but otherwise everything was great!

I start with the fact that you are in la junta, so options without a drive thru are pretty slim. This is a mediocre restaurant and "saloon", and by the looks of the robust crowd, most must agree that this is one of the better options in town. I have passed it up in the past just because of the name but this time I decided to try. Service was swift, attentive and friendly. The steak wasn't bad, it just wasn't good. The salad bar is a throwback to 30 years ago. Not bad, not great. The vegetable of the day was canned green beans. Adding bacon doesn't make them not canned. Wine did not list a brand - just a house choice. Almost every app is something breaded or fried. If I'm back in town I would still probably go just to get a served meal, but would not recommend you go out of your way.
