Back Door Grill Fort Collins — Restaurant in Fort Collins

We have biked by this location a ton and ogled the rooftop bar. Yesterday we decided to stop in on a beautiful fall day. The rooftop is amazing. The fall colors, the sun, and the view of the hubbub after a surprising win for CSU makes this bar a great location. However, after trying to order one of the five beers they were suppose to have up there and it being unavailable our feelings went down a hair. Then we ordered a margarita but were told they were unable to do frozen ones at this time. Well, okay.... Next we ordered two painkillers (drinks) which again aren't frozen (which they offer on the menu) and she comes back with one (filled to the brim with ice, see below photo, you couldn't even move your straw around!!) and says they don't have the materials to make another. Well, okay...Someone in our group ordered the wings and two people said they were fantastic. They did look good! Then we tried to order another beer which didn't ever make it to our table, but unfortunately and maybe predictably, did make it onto our bill. The margarita and painkillers were $10 each but filled with that much ice it was ridiculous....and a Pacifico for $8??? With so many restaurants and bars in Fort Collins we probably won't be back which is unfortunate since the rooftop has...

Got here for happy hour to watch the early Nuggets game. The beers were great with a decent selection. The John Wayne burger was very respectable. Delicious burger patty. Curly fries were cooked perfectly. I also had a Tater Totchos appetizer. This was nice pile of crispy tater tots covered with cheese sauce, sour cream and fresh Pico. There were even fresh jalapeno slices. You'll want a fork for these cheesy treats! If I had one complaint it was that no one seemed to know anything about the Nuggets game or Altitude sports. I asked about the game a couple of times and when it did not show up on any the many tvs that wrap the place I almost left. A nice bartender Lindsey found the game and the night was saved. And yes, the Nuggets won! Pro-tip: some regulars came in for Wednesday Night trivia (that was fun too!), but they just went and found some of the TV remotes and got the game on a couple of the other TV's. This seemed to be pretty copacetic since the patrons understood what was on and the busy staff was well, busy. Pro-tip 2: Make sure to say hi to the sweet little mini aussie Stella....

Food was disgusting. I ordered for delivery on Grubhub. I used to order from here all the time and I will never get food from here again! I asked for no lettuce, tomato, onion or mayo on the burger. I also asked for a fried egg. They put lettuce, tomato, onions and mayo on the burger. So much so that the whole bottom bun was soggy and dripping. I couldn’t even pick up the damn thing! It looked disgusting. Then the fried egg was so overcooked that it looked like rubber. I couldn’t eat it. Then I ordered jalapeño poppers as well. The cream cheese inside was literally congealed! It was chunky and congealed like it went rancid. It tasted nasty as well when I bit into it. Then there was this random burnt piece of something in the container where the jalapeño poppers were. 100% not sanitary! And to top it all off, my driver wasn’t careful enough and the whole container of ranch that was for the poppers, spilled over everything in the bag. The workers probably didn’t make sure the container was actually closed too. Never ordering from here again and I suggest you...
