Welcome to Ridgway's Eating Landmark This ain't your ordinary cowboy cafe! True Comfort, True Taste, True Grit. Established in 1985, the "Grit" as it is known has been serving hungry tourists and locals for 30 years.  We offer excellent and tasty 'Cowboy Cuisine' in a comfortable western environment with a friendly staff that will make you feel like you're part of the Grit Family.  We take a lot of pride in our homemade fare including the best dang chicken fried steak this side of the Rocky Mountains.  Other menu specialties include hand-pattied burgers, mouth watering Tex-Mex Specialties, juicy steaks, house made meatloaf, fresh tempura battered mahi mahi fish and chips, sandwiches and gourmet salads.  For the vegetarians we offer lots of tasty choices.  We are also gluten-free friendly. Our wide selection of liquors, beer and wine give you a great place to gather round with the locals and visitors alike.  We have two full bars, one on the main floor and one upstairs, around which locals and visitors gather to chat or share experiences in the beautiful San Juan Mountains.  Our remodeled upstairs with its large private booths will accommodate from two to fourteen people, and don't forget the deck overlooking our beautiful park. The True Grit Café was built to honor the filming of the academy award winning movie "True Grit" starring John Wayne.  Come sit on the deck and look out at the beautiful background you'll see throughout the movie.  Oh, and you'll see a lot of pictures of the great star's film legacy all around.

Really great menu. We've taken large groups there several times. With bigger groups the service seems to be a bit slow and the service staff confused, but generally pretty kind and the food is good. Read more
