TLDR: Come for the food and stay for the vibes.
After finishing a rough first-time trip up the Manitou Incline, my family and I were looking for a place to eat past 9pm. After looking on Reddit, I stumbled on a thread that praised Green Line Grill for its burgers.
From the outside of the building, it looks like any restaurant/diner with decent food that's seen a multitude of visitors. However, little did family and I know that we were in for Colorado Springs finest food and friendliest individuals.
As we entered, we were greeted by the sound of locals participating in karaoke. The bartender, Otis, proceeded to greet me and my family and gave us the most welcoming Colorado Springs hospitality. After ordering burgers named after Otis himself, we thought our night couldn't get any better. Then, we met Bobby. Bobby is such a kind soul and can brighten anyone's day by just talking about Colorado Springs or asking us where we're visiting from. He made sure we were taken care of in every way possible. By the end of our meal, he was talking to us like we were his family and giving us hugs and sending us so much love. I've never felt more at home in a place that I was visiting for the first time.
Now for the food:
If you've never tried an onion-fried burger, this is the place to try it. If you like fresh fries, this is the place to do it. The burgers had a nice char and were thin but packed with the most insane flavors. I had the Otis and I have never had a burger with so much flavor especially when it had a veggie AND beef patty. The fries were seasoned to perfection and the cheese sauce was a perfect complement to it. Every ingredient tasted fresh and prepared with the utmost care. If there was any souvenir that I could take back to Texas from Colorado Springs, Colorado, it would be my experience eating at the Green Line Grill.
