Brakeman's Burgers

Formerly one of our favorites, but last time we went in (Oct 23) we sat at the bar but left without even ordering. Problem is that they have drastically reduced their menu. No more pizzas, no more buffalo chicken sandwich, no more boozy milkshakes. It's just another burger joint.

The venue has a ton of character and the food was ok. But like others have said, not everything on the menu was available. I was disappointed they didnt have the bison burger. We also heard the restaurant is closing down temporarily, and it was pretty quiet the evening we ate there. I wouldnt be surprised if the closure is permanent.

One of the best burgers in Colorado Springs.

Tasty burgers & sides. A bit too salty for my kidney condition despite my asking them to hold the salt. Had to swap with my wife for her salad. But hey, you go to a burger place you want burgers. From now on, I'll just say hold the fries period. The salad was good. Dietary restrictions: Not really oriented to dietary restrictions. My sister in law ordered the same as I. Same result. I think cooks are just not oriented to folks with high blood pressure, sister in law, or ckd, me.

They totally butchered this place with the renovations. We miss the old Giuseppe's!! They used to have great pizza, French dips, bread, salad bar... They had a very warm atmosphere with a beautiful fireplace...all gone!! It was and old school Colorado Springs icon! Totally sad. You guys ruined this place in every possible way!! You took every bit of character, soul, and history out of this place. It had a beautiful bar too, which is completely destroyed now. Anyway we came back to try the burgers, and it had to be the worst burger I've ever had. Seems like the cook is lazy cooking frozen patties because all of our burgers were burnt on the outside and raw on the inside. Service wasn't great either. Just depressing to come here. Up your game though! Would be a perfect place for Gordon Ramsay to help even at this point. Will never return here.
