There are many Summit County restaurants that close their doors in May, but not Empire Burger. And that's a good thing, because it's closure would make this in between season just a notch worse. Many people would miss the great burgers and sandwiches, and the open, easy-to-like atmosphere. Empire Burger has a full bar, and offers nice wine and beer. I don't seek out burgers. but this place is worth it. The beef is ground daily on the premises from USDA certified Harris Ranch, Black Angus Choice Beef. And the fries are hand cut daily. Onions rings are likewise fresh and both come with one of a long list of great fresh sauces, like Sriracha Mayo, Red Wine Vinagrette, Blue Cheese, Creamy Horseradish, Parmesan Peppercorn, Honey Mustard, Sweet Mango Chutney Mayo, Roasted Garlic Mayo, BBQ Sauce, Curry Ketchup, Blue Cheese Vinagrette, Sweet Chili Sauce.
Nice buns, too.
So, you're not into burgers, my favorite sandwich is the Portabello Mushroom with Blue Cheese. And the Cobb Salad is to die for.
Empire Burger is run by the guys from Giampietro's Pizza & Pasta, and is located in the LaCima Mall at the south end of Breckenridge.
