This is just a quick notice to our valued guests that we will be closed July 3rd and 4th. Not because it’s “good for business,” but because it’s good for our people. Because our staff deserves a couple days where the only thing they have to prep is potato salad. Because sometimes the most patriotic thing you can do… is not run a restaurant for 48 hours.

I believe in giving my staff the chance to be with their families - to grill, laugh, watch fireworks (when permissible), drone shows (when the weather allows), and make memories - whatever they choose in their individual pursuits of happiness. Restaurants don’t run on money alone; they run on humans, and humans need and deserve time with the people they love.

We promise we’re not abandoning you… we’re just letting our team enjoy the holiday without having to slice, grill, sauté, or explain what aioli is.

If you can't wait that long, come on by today or tomorrow. If you can't make it, don't worry. We’ll reopen Sunday at our normal hours, fully recharged and slightly sunburned.

Thank you for understanding and for supporting a place that puts family first.

A message from the City.

STAGE III WATER RESTRICTIONS BEGIN JULY 1, 2026

Due to extreme drought conditions and critically low water levels, the City of Trinidad is implementing Stage III Water Restrictions, the highest level of water conservation measures.

💧 Watering Schedule
❌ No watering on Mondays
🏠 Even-numbered addresses (0, 2, 4, 6, 8):
Water Wednesday, Friday & Sunday
⏰ 6:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. only
🏠 Odd-numbered addresses (1, 3, 5, 7, 9):
Water Tuesday, Thursday & Saturday
⏰ 6:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. only

Additional restrictions include:
• No new rural extra-territorial water taps
• Vehicle washing only with a shutoff nozzle or bucket
• Prevent runoff onto streets, sidewalks, and driveways
• Limit filling of fountains and ponds unless necessary for aquatic life

To further conserve water, the City will turn off the Splash Pad at Cimino Park effective immediately. Because the splash pad requires a continuous flow of water, it is considered a significant water use during severe drought conditions.

The Community Center Pool will remain open. The pool is already filled and requires relatively little water to maintain, allowing residents and visitors to continue enjoying this important community amenity while minimizing additional water consumption.

⚠️ Violations may result in fines ranging from $300 to $2,650.

We’ll be closed tomorrow, June 19th.
Not for the holiday, but because I haven’t had a day off since my mama passed on May 22nd, and even a stubborn mule knows when it’s time to sit down.

Now, I know some folks think we just stroll in at opening time and flip a sign. Bless your hearts. My day starts 3–4 hours before we unlock the door, and it keeps on rolling 2–3 hours after we close - chopping, stirring, scrubbing, resetting, and occasionally questioning my life choices like any respectable small‑town business owner.

So tomorrow, I’m takin’ one single, solitary day to breathe. We’ll be back Saturday, rested up and ready to feed y’all again.

Thanks for understanding - or at least pretending to.

Hey folks, this is just a reminder that we are open for business as usual!

Unfortunately, parking is a bit of a nightmare right now on Main Street due to some much needed painting maintenance, but the work should be done soon, so if you just gotta have it now, let us bring it to you!

Head to our website to start your order now and it'll arrive as quickly as we can get it to you!

My mother, Jacqueline, passed away peacefully this morning after a long battle with Pancreatic cancer.

We will remain closed today as we take time to reflect on her amazing life with family and friends and to process this tremendous loss.

True to her spirit to pick yourself up and get back to the fight, we will reopen tomorrow at 10:30 AM.

Thank you for your continued compassion and steadfast support.

To our community,

My mother, Jacqueline Marie MacMillan, came to live with us in Colorado two years ago after battling Pancreatic cancer on her own for the preceding year. She fought valiantly, but cancer is a formidable foe. The years of fighting are over and "Jackie" is nearing the end of her life at the age of 76. I will be closing the restaurant for a short time so I can be with her and honor her passing.

Jacqueline was one of those rare people who carried joy with her everywhere she went. If you ever met her - even briefly - you probably remember her smile. I know you left the encounter with one. She had a gift for lifting spirits, softening hard days, and making people feel welcome.

She taught me how to work hard, how to treat people, and how to find joy even in struggle. Everything good in this restaurant - the warmth, the hospitality, the sense of care - traces back to her.

Many of you supported her during her cancer battle, whether through donations, kind words, or simply asking how she was doing. My family and I will never forget that. Your generosity gave her comfort, dignity, and hope during the hardest chapter of her life.

Thank you for loving her alongside us.

Thank you for standing with our family.

Thank you for being the kind of community she always believed in.

We’ll reopen soon, and when we do, we’ll carry her spirit with us — cheerful, warm, and full of heart.

— William

Good morning!

We regret to inform you that the work on our new floor did not go as expected this weekend and we must remain closed today and tomorrow to allow for the work to be completed and to reset our spaces. We hope this is enough time to accomplish both and to see everyone when we reopen on Wednesday.

Please stay tuned for updates. We will notify you right here of any changes. We sincerely thank you for your patience while we finish this upgrade.
