Yelp thought I was at a different pizza parlor on the Riverwalk.
Came in here 2pm on a Saturday as The Pantry closes early. I was just in time for 2-4pm Happy Hour: 22oz Shock Top on draft. I asked the waitress for her advice between the Hawaiian pizza which featured mandarin oranges(!?) or the spicy, alfredo Godfather. She said the Godfather was her absolute favorite. My small bambino was a tad dry but the mildly spicy toppings gave a decent rush that perfectly balanced the beer, which was quickly refilled, sending me home with a full belly and a buzzing head.

Never heard of them, but Priceline got me a $5/day deal. Sweet!
Counter lady was friendly at first but when it became clear I didn't want insurance, upgrades, or to run the tank to empty in order to theoretically save a few bucks on their discounted tank o' gas dealio she started getting huffy like how dare I come in the place with my thrifty attitude, politely refusing all the awesome gifts she has for me!?
I needed to stay longer. A quick call day off and they extended my rental at the same $5 rate. A $5 rate is more like $10 after taxes but its still a deal.
What was it? A Nissan Vespa or something? Decent little four-door that whir-whir-whirred gamely over the mountains.
Shuttle drivers were friendly.

Tasty breakfast burrito. Good coffee. Friendly service. Weird Kid vibe. Counter stools are too low for the counter, but there are plentiful alternate seating options.
Vegan. That's cool. Unless you're in the mood for pastry.

I'm down with a little price gouging at the crowded airport car rental return, but when the pump starts blaring television commercials at me, I get the message: this station has too many customers and has resorted to desperate means to drive them away!
Conveniently located just off I-25 southbound. Friendly staff. Edible food. Men's restroom is bleak but functional.

A lot of the clientele were teenagers waiting to see The Hunger Games. We were a large group of "adults" heading off to watch that movie which itself was otherwise fine but seriously, if your protagonist is supposed to be a hot shot with the bow, teach the actress the basics of archery?! (I know, artistic license . . .)
All I remember about this place is that it seemed unreasonably pricey and that the men's room was oddly posh. Our waiter did a good job handling our largish party but it got busy near the end and none of the rest of the staff were keen to help him close out our bill.
Next time I'd say just grab some grub on Castro St before hitting up a movie. More options, better prices.

Been here exactly once for lunch and I look forward to a return visit. Friendly little "hole in the wall" where the staff put you at ease and keep an eye on you to make sure your experience is sweet. Had some yummy stuff in a sizzling pot with a fried egg on top . . . and the ice cream is a nice little unwinder at the end.
We had a good time here on Valentine's Day. This has become the spot where the wife and I head to for Italian. Prices are fine, including the wine, the food is yummy, and the service can be very good. (I'm talkin' about you, Daniel!) Abide by the server's opinions regarding dessert.

The waitresses were friendly and clad in stained tee-shirts. Mountain people.
The burger was delicious and filling, I really liked the fries. The plate was greasy all over.
Later in the evening as I waited for my pick-up from San Francisco airport, the buffalo got its revenge. I can not recall any previous bathroom experience that was as violent. I suspect my colon was unprepared for the Rocky Mountain onions, but this really just deepens my memory of the place.
