Avuncular Bob's T-Bar Inn - Wellington, Colorado

It's been years since I've been here and it's still pretty much the same place... Except the food is better than I remember. I had the Bronco Burger with green chili and sweet potato fries and not only was it a big meal, the green chili was surprisingly good! I'm going to stop driving by this place and start enjoying the awesome food. See you there!

This is a very unique restaurant, the design is definitely connected to the local farmers, who it seems donated multiple tools.

The food, service & servers were excellent, very helpful and even though we arrived less then an hour before closing, everyone was very pleasant, NOT trying to move us out faster.

I hope you get a chance to check out Avuncular and enjoy it as much as we did!

If you are looking for nostalgic charm in a cute little town, go to the T-Bar. The food is good. There is always something scheduled to enjoy throughout the week. And it’s a fun place to go to eat or to just listen to the older gentlemen talk about life.

Not bad for breakfast; not recommended for dinner

This is one of the few restaurants in downtown Wellington. Acknowledging the slim offerings, this has become a go-to spot for breakfast Breakfast dishes are consistent and flavorful, at reasonable prices. You can’t miss with their omelettes, and hubby likes their steak & eggs and biscuits & gravy. Seats are usually available for breakfast service but you might have a short wait on the weekends.

It’s definitely an old diner style establishment, inside and out. Efficient waitresses hurrying by. Local flyers on the walls, tables with slightly different heights that can be easily moved to accommodate parties of different sizes, prepackaged napkin & utensil sets, condiments on the table.

If this was a review of only breakfast, this would be a solid 4 star. However we decided to try it for dinner to get out of our rut (Sol de Jalisco and Wellington Grill are our go-to dinner picks nearby). Dinner here was not a great experience.

It’s dead in the evening. So empty, we thought it was closed. Our party of five were the only diners, although there were a few patrons at the bar. The dinner menu had lots of kid favorites (hamburger, grilled cheese, etc) but was limited for adults. The nachos were fine (not great). The mashed potatoes in my turkey dish tasted sour… especially disappointing because I ordered a salad, not potatoes. They could not complete my husbands order straight from the menu as they did not have the listed gravy, so they asked him to make substitutions. Dinner service was surprisingly terrible for a restaurant with no other customers. We had to ask repeatedly for: water, salad dressing, side salad, kid cups, tea bags (hot tea ordered, but hot water served). At one point hubby flagged down a server to ask “does this come with a salad” to which the employee replied “you’ll have to ask you waitress. I’m the hostess.” Then she left, without asking our waitress to come by or checking back with us. Then we tracked down our waitress who seemed annoyed, but she brought my husband’s dinner salad as a dessert course. Rating for dinner service: a generous 2 star.

Our dinner experience was with our son’s family of 5, so it was enjoyable to visit with family, and the kids ate reasonably well. Sharing a bad dinner experience with them wasn’t awful — we absolutely loved the conversation, the family bonding, and the collective decision that we should never come here for dinner again.

Great atmosphere, food, and service! A nice down home feel. I go for breakfast and live music food and service are great both times of the day.

Have been here many times over the years. Unfortunately this last time was a bad experience. First we got scolded for walking through the wrong door. Then the waitress took a very long time getting to us or coming back to our table through out the whole time. The hostess was helping us more than our waitress. We ordered green chili but was served chili so got that switched out. The chicken fried steak was good though. Then finally asked for a to go order and was told no because they are out of to go boxes. A few minutes later the table next to us got handed a to go order with boxes. Yeah won't come back again. Very disappointed.

I have never officially eaten here. But, there are usually a lot of diners eating. I come up for Karaoke on Saturdays. Loads of fun! The bartenders are very kind! Somehow these busy ladies make it effortless to keep everyone happy while they are so busy!
I will have to come up for a meal!

Great stop here and the food was delicious. We arrived just before the dinner hour of 4 and was allowed for one of us to order the chicken fried steak. The onion rings were delicious. Seasoned fries too. Tonya was a wonderful server! Great personality. The one star is taking away because on arrival when opening the door someone was rudely yelling at another employee. After figuring out this person is Carla owner/manager her choices of discipling employees loudly while customers are waiting could use some manners.
