Story

Established in 1985, the "Grit" as it is known has been serving hungry tourists and locals for over 25 years. We offer excellent and tasty 'Cowboy Cuisine' in a comfortable western environment with a friendly staff that will make you feel like you're part of the Grit Family. We take a lot of pride in our homemade fare including the best dang chicken fried steak this side of the Rocky Mountains. Other menu specialties include hand-pattied burgers, mouth watering Tex-Mex Specialties, juicy steaks, house made meatloaf, fresh tempura battered mahi mahi fish and chips, sandwiches and gourmet salads. For the vegetarians, we offer lots of tasty choices. Our wide selection of liquors, beer and wine give you a great place to gather round with the locals and visitors alike. We have two full bars, one on the main floor and one upstairs, around which locals and visitors gather to chat or share experiences in the beautiful San Juan Mountains. Our newly remodeled upstairs with its large private booths will accommodate from two to fourteen people, and don't forget the deck overlooking our beautiful park.

The True Grit Cafe was built to honor the filming of the academy award winning movie "True Grit" starring John Wayne. Come sit on the deck and look out at the beautiful background you'll see throughout the movie. Oh, and you'll see a lot of pictures of the great star's film legacy all around.

Fantastic hamburgers made to perfection. The guacamole bacon burger was awesome! John Wayne was a regular back in the day. Comfortable seating and very attentive staff. I would eat here again

This place is NOT your typical tourist trap restaurant where they don't care about food quality because they aren't worried about repeat customers. This place is the real thing! Great food, decent prices, wide selection, and friendly staff. At 2pm on a Tuesday when most places are finished with the noon rush, they were packed and people just kept coming as fast as tables were cleared. There were quite a few locals there as well. Even though the place was packed, food quality and service standards remained high. It's worth a visit any time you are in the area. The movie history and John Wayne connection is just a bonus!

We had a wonderful time there. The waitress was was great, even though we had 13 people in our group. She was very patient with us. Even though it took a while to get our food, (which was good) It was understandable with the large group.

True Grit is like an old friend you get to see when you come to Ridgway. The menu contains nothing but standard cafe fare, but the food is always noticeably good—better than might be expected, in fact, considering the palpably casual, no-nonsense atmosphere. In that respect True Grit mirrors the temperament of John Wayne, whose posters cover the restaurant's walls and who starred in the movie for whom the restaurant is named and which was filmed, in part, near Ridgway. True Grit's prices are nice. Drinks are generously poured, and the bartender never seems bothered if you submit extra specifications as to just how you want your martini made. Highly recommended.

We sat outside on their patio and had drinks and fries. The drinks were wonderful and fries were awesome. We checked out the menu and will be back to nosh on some of their menu items. Great service and very friendly.
