Baba’s Burgers & Gyros

Delicious!!! You won’t regret it. Everything we ordered was to die for. We had chicken sandwiches, fried pickles and fries. A++++ homemade and fresh. Best in Estes Park. Friendly service and clean environment.

We ate here on a recent trip to Estes Park. If you’re craving a greasy burger (and I mean greasy in the best sense of the word) after a long day at Rocky Mountain National Park, this is the place. It doesn’t look like much from the road, but service was quick and the food was amazing. I highly recommend it.

So it looks like a hole in the wall– total dive. But the reviews don’t lie: it’s a darn good burger place.
They have inside seating but most is outside over a covered patio. It’s semi fast food. Took about 10 minutes. Excellent burgers (buns were amazing too) fries and onion rings. Loved the fried pickles too.
It’s located outside of downtown on your way to RMNP. $ 50 for 5 meals all including burger, fries, onion rings, fried pickles as sides and drinks.

Seriously solid post-​hike meal. I may be a little biased because I was starving after hiking in RMNP, but the cheese burger and Greek garlic fries hit the spot. The service was pretty average for such a touristy spot (though this place wasn’t as busy as I expected, even in peak hours). The wait time was less than average, as I got my food in less than 5 minutes. I’d love to come back here for a meal when I’m not absolutely starving and evaluate it, but until then, I’d definitely recommend this place if you’re looking for a quick, cheap fix.

Well stopped in and found out there was limited seating inside. Hot day, but we will deal with it. Ordered for five and food took almost 25 minutes. Ridiculous-​since we ordered it to go. Watched many others come and go while waiting on our order.
Others had a long wait too. Be prepared. Food was ok though. Not worth the wait.

Yummy gyros with very generous portions of meat! We also liked the fried zucchini and onion rings. Great food.

A great selection of burgers ! Good place to eat if you want something familiar and American.

Delicious! Best gyro I have had in a long time! Elk burger was good as well as spicy chicken sandwich.

Outstanding gyros! Great first time experience. Staff was friendly and the food was tasty, very tasty. Will be coming back to try more from the menu. My daughter had an Elk Cheeseburger and it was awesome

Elk burgers are a real treat for me, so I ordered one here on our way to Rocky Mountain National Park. I was not disappointed.
The elk was juicy and flavorful and cooked just right. Dressed the way I like it, with mustard, lettuce, pickle, tomato and onion, the burger was delicious. The bun was a good compliment too, as it held up without getting soggy, although it was soft.
The fries were pretty good, too, so overall, a very enjoyable lunch.

Very good buffalo cheese burger and garlic fries. Staff was very friendly and the place has that small town roadside feel. Definitely will eat here again when we come back to Estes!

I can say with all confidence, their spicy chicken sandwich is the worst I’ve had in many years. It was way over cooked and dried out. The Elk burger was just ok– the party was very small for an $ 8 sandwich.
Would definitely NOT recommend them

This place is simple, classic and delicious. I love it. Very unassuming from the outside, but you won’t regret trying it.
Great gyros, fries and fried pickles. Plus they have cream soda in the fountain machine. Really hits the spot for a good price after hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park.

They take care of you here! Large portions, lots feta for 75 cents. Dripping with sauce. Its not a first date meal but awesome!
Super casual, very nice employees, they really take pride in every meal served.

After a nice long hike in RMNP my friend and I stopped here for lunch. And we were not disappointed! We both had buffalo burgers. Done medium well. Served a bit cold though. Any times pickles come on a burger I’m also sold! Onion rings were fresh and home made and crisped to perfection. Fried mushrooms… Couldn’t pass up that unique offering so ordered those too! Yum! Thick-​battered fried whole mushrooms. We devoured every bit — perfect spot after the hike! Just wish the burger was served warmer. But not disappointed with anything else! Would stop here again!

Cashier was on the phone when she took our order. Didn’t realize until we sat down that all the other tables received numbers. Went back and asked for a number. We waited at least a half hour after the people in front of us in line received their food, ate, and left.
The gyro was average and there was oil on the paper when we finished eating it. There was not enough tsaziki and the tomato was unripe. The meat was its only saving grace.
We were excited to try the elk cheeseburger but were nonplussed. You’re paying for the rarity, not flavor. The catsup and other toppings overpowered the elk flavor.
I would give the food 3 stars and the service one star, hence the average of 2 stars.

This is a small burger (and gyro apparently) spot just out of Estes Park. It seems things are a little disorganized here (the menu wasn’t on when we went in), but the staff was friendly and seemed to be busy working on things (even before the lunch rush).
I wasn’t terribly hungry when we were here so I just had a side of onion rings — they were good: crispy, not overly sweet, not greasy. Others in my group seemed to like the fries as well. Most everyone had a burger here and my MIL raved about hers. The toddlers in our group were happy with their burgers too. It seemed that everyone ordered correctly, because most all the food was gobbled up and I didn’t hear any complaints.
It did start getting a lot busier there by the time we left. There are a few tables inside and several outside as well. The outdoor seating was more popular, and the wind doesn’t make it impossible to eat out there because the food is served on weighted containers (smart!).
Overall, it seems like a decent burger spot — much better than fast food places in the area. It’s nice to have a quick meal option that tastes good too!

This is a real home town find. If you were just driving by you might think that you can do better elsewhere in town at some fancy restaurant, but in that case you would be missing out on one of the burgers or Gyro in the town.
We found it because of the high reviews on Unilocal,and appreciate everyone who Unilocaled about it to spread the word.
We ordered both the Cheeseburger and a Lamb Gyro. I ate the Gyro and the first thing I would share is that it was gigantic. I felt bad because I needed to use so many napkins just to keep my face clean. Every bite was full of flavor, but also deposited sauce all over my face. The lamb was perfectly cooked and the other ingredients were fresh and made it a huge hit.
We also order a large order of Garlic Fries to split, which was just the right number of fries for the two of us. Their garlic fries are great because they are not overly greasy. They use seasonings to flavor the fries, instead of dumping ladlefuls of garlic butter on them. They really were quite enjoyable.
This is really a great place to visit and if you are looking for a delicious honest meal then there simple, do it right menu is great. They also have Elk and Bison burgers is you are looking for something special on you vacation out west.

UMMMMMMM.
Baba’s Burgers should be renamed «Oh so you went on a 10 mile hike in RMNP and you might be dying, come on in and eat a Burgers,» but that’s a long name.
Maybe one of the best cheeseburgers that has ever graced the Earth. The fried pickles were also top-​notch too.

Love, love, love this little hole in the wall local fast food place. The gyros are amazing with soft pita bread, an over abundance of meat, onions, and tatziki sauce. So big you almost can’t fit a bite in your mouth.
The Greek fries are garlicky and so delicious. Hubs had the buffalo burger and he liked it. Cheeseburgers are great as well. Always a favorite spot teat at in Estes Park.
