The Burgers And Shakes From This Middle-Of-Nowhere Colorado Drive-In Are Worth The Trip

Hungry? Unlike the candy bar commercial claims, nothing satisfies quite like a burger, fries, and a shake, the best of which comes from older and lower-key establishments. Today's article features all of the above and can only be found at this old and iconic middle-of-nowhere Colorado drive-in:

Welcome to Glenwood Springs, home of the legendary Vicco's Charcoalburger!

Opened in 1953, Vicco's is just as popular now (if not more so) as the day it opened, thanks to its retro vibe and a made-to-order menu full of delicious and greasy comfort food.

What is a Vicco's Charcoalburger? It begins with 1/3 pound of Angus beef, turkey, elk, buffalo, or veggie alternative cooked the way you like it and topped with fresh and tantalizing ingredients.

Once you have your burger, it is time to choose the perfect side, which can be fries (regular or smothered in chili), onion rings, or chips, or something premium a la a salad, deep-fried mushrooms, or cheese curds.

Don't forget to save room for dessert, as Vicco's ice cream menu is as impressive as its burgers, thanks to such options as a peanut butter malt, black raspberry shake, or a classic soft-serve cone.

In addition to all of the above, Vicco's also offers a small yet tasty breakfast menu and specialty sandwiches.

Vicco's Charcoalburger is open every day from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.
