Magpies

Just had lunch there. Food and service were great! I had the rueben it was really good!

I agree with Leif. Everything is good — but uninspired. The ambiance is nice, but kinda makes you feel 20 years older. This is the perfect place to take your grandma, and is super accommodating. But, «best» aren’t the words I’d use. Good — not great.

One of my favorite places to eat in pueblo. Such great food and it really has that home cooked taste. If you haven’t been here you must try it.

So I’m not giving Magpies a 4^th 5-​star rating, or even a 4-​star rating… sorry. It was good and, frankly, it is a little ‘gem’ in Pueblo. The staff was fast and friendly. Nice folks. And like anywhere, some were simply ‘there’. But the food was good, OK, average… it’s a sandwich and burger place. As for it being the best burgers in Colorado, well, people need to travel a little more in this great state. There are some real ‘gems’ elsewhere too. And I’m not talking about chains like Smashburger or 5-​Guys or Larkburger or Ted’s…and so on… There are some really good mom & pop places out there that really know how to mix the cuts well, grind their own meat, form a good burger and cook it just right. And as for desert… it’s good, but keep swinging for the fences… Magpies is good, but good isn’t great. Of course I’d eat there again and maybe I’ll change my mind (review), but for now… did I mention that it’s good.

Magpies is a Pueblo jewel!
First off, I’ve been eating here since I was a little boy and NOTHING has changed (I mean that in a good way)
The highlights —
1. HAMBURGERS — Other than Larkburger (located in Denver and Vail), Magpies boasts Colorado’s best hamburger — an excellent chuck of beef, served on a toasted english muffin — it’s absolutely delicious and a completely unique recipe, only to be found at Magpies
2. DESSERT — Of course, harkening the name, Magpies hosts Colorado’s best desserts, which is a magpie — homemade vanilla ice cream, wedged into profiteroles and topped with homemade chocolate sauce — it’s straight out of Heaven, itself!!!
Historically, Magpies has been around since the late 1980s and for a brief period in the 1990s, was open for dinner, but quickly shut that down, instead reverting to its mostly lunch hours… why?
Well… because that’s how Magpies rolls…
ENJOY ALL!!!

Magpies is a Pueblo secret. They’ve got some odd hours, so it can be hard to catch them when they’re open. Once you’re inside and seated, get ready for some good food.
My personal favorite is the Scream Burger. It’s a hamburger with cream cheese and roasted green chilies. Their meat is very well seasoned and tastes much better than an ordinary hamburger. I think they use english muffin buns also, which add a little something special to the burger.
My wife and her mother have been going here for years and have tried many more dishes than I have, but they say everything is always good, especially the desserts!
