North Fork Boardwalk - Crawford, Colorado

Had dinner here while staying in town. The restaurant itself is neat and pretty nice, and my server was great.

The food, however… Let’s get to the food, because oh man do I have a lot to say. I had the chicken wrap, which was labeled as the “specialty” here. I was also asked if I wanted it grilled or fried, and chose grilled.

Now what would come to mind when you think of a grilled chicken wrap? A piece of chicken breast, on a grill, with spices, cooked perfectly and sliced, with these slices wrapped with some lettuce and tomato, maybe some peppers and greens, all with a little bit of a nice sauce. Right?

Well, what I got was a wrap that had small (I mean TINY) bits of CUBED chicken that was white and not at all spicy or seasoned. How did you all grill those tiny cubes, guys? Is there a tiny grill you all have back there?

Besides the tiny cubes, the wrap was just stuffed full of various salad greens (they made up roughly 85% of the contents). I also made the mistake of choosing balsamic dressing when I was asked, but there was a LOT of that in there too.

Finally, the absolute pinnacle of this wrap was the GRAPES. Yes, they added grapes to it — and not like small tangy grapes, but full on huge super sweet candy grapes. Absolutely diabolical choice of ingredients.

So the final result was a “chicken” wrap that was:
- Cold
- Soggy
- Incredibly acidic
- Incredibly sweet because of the stupid grapes
- Had nearly no chicken

The only bright spot were the sweet fries, because they were amazing.

It’s a testament to how hungry I was that I still ate half of that wrap, struggling for my life. To whoever is making culinary decisions at this restaurant — I sincerely hope that you reconsider your vocation.

We had no expectations when came in and unexpectedly this place is amazing! Jam which was served with cheesecake was exactly so similar to one that my grandma was making for years. And french fries are delicious although I usually don’t eat it. Fair prices, super friendly stuff, our server was nice and attentive. Highly recommend if you’ll be in the area!

After having high hopes this restaurant needs some help!
Husband ordered the turkey submarine .. it came without tomato, and what appeared to be day old roll and had Italian dressing on it!
The slaw has sugar mixed in it so, the side salad was his second option.
I ordered half ham and Swiss on marble rye toast and a cup of black bean soup. My meal was tasty but very disappointed with my husband's lunch.
We waited for 20 minutes before the wait staff came to tell us that the burgers are thawing .. we didn't order burgers!

Good food, unfortunately my burger was overcooked. I ordered it medium and it was served well done. When I mentioned it to Ida Mae she didn't even offer to take it back and have it remade although she did agree that the cook was wrong on it. 😕

Chicago-style Italian beef sandwich was more of what I would consider a 'French dip." It was good, just not comparable to Portillo's like June said it was.

We went back for "linner" because breakfast was good.

The frosting on the pecan roll was to die for! Overall, good food, friendly folks, definitely worth a stop!

Whenever we come here we really enjoy the food and the service! The restaurant itself is very pretty and has a great atmosphere.

This morning we went in for breakfast. I don't really like breakfast food so the fact that I really enjoyed my meal says a lot! As someone who works in food service I could tell that they were having a hard morning with things that were out of their control, such as the soda fountain having issues. However, they went the extra mile to make our expierence great whileit was getting fixed!

Stopped in Crawford for the night and had dinner at the North Fork Boardwalk. The Jalapeno Poppers were the best we ever had. Nice place, very friendly service. Thoughtful, considerate owner. After this positive experience we returned for breakfast the next morning. Again, great service and a very pleasant, welcoming atmosphere.

Every six months I come home to the valley. And on the Wednesday that I'm home, I demand that we visit the Boardwalk for country fried steak night. June's country fried steak is out of this world. Truly the best I've ever had. Maybe the secret is the slightly sweet sausage gravy on top.... Or maybe it's just lots of love. <3 Somehow she even makes the broccoli on the side sing too. Seriously, come by on Wednesdays, but if you don't there's lots of other good options too. :)

The food was delicious! We came on a Sunday morning when they do the buffet instead of cook to order. There were plenty of options and toppings, everything I tried was great. Especially the crunchy potatoes and cinnamon rolls. I wish the woman who owned this spot would start selling her homemade jam - it tasted better than any I’ve ever had!
