Recently remolded. Looks sharp. Unpretentious, but not grimy. Did have to deal with a lot of flies in late October, which was unfortunate. Excellent food. Big menu with lots of great pub food like burgers and sandwiches. Really enjoyed the Philly cheesesteak sandwich and the fries had good flavor. The bartender was friendly and helped get the football game I wanted to watch on one of the handful of TVs. Would recommend if you’re driving along 85 in Weld County or live in Northern Colorado and want a relaxed, old school watering hole.

We have been here several times as I am GF not by choice and it’s difficult and usually crazy pricey to get a good gf meal. We were here just last week and it was remodeled with new flooring, bar, and tables.
I had the Blucifer gf burger and fries and tator tots. The fried food is always gf!
Be prepared for a long wait time because each ticket is cooked separately in the order it was received, ensuring fresh (really fresh ingredients!), hot temperature, and gf for those needing it.
The Glucifer burger had amazing flavor and was filling. Fries were a bit too salty to me (next time I’ll ask for less salt) but the tator tots were so good. They are even good the next day reheated. Wasn’t a tator tot fan until now! And did I mention how good the burger was and gf???
If you are in a hurry, this not the place for you. But if you are looking for a relaxed, small town family friendly atmosphere with pool table and good food, it’s absolutely worth the wait!

Before passing through town we googled restaurants in Ault and and Ugly Pony came up so we looked at their menu and saw gluten free options. Being celiac, it’s difficult to find restaurants in small towns that offer gf food so we were really excited.
First impressions when walking in
was it was a cute, clean, welcoming atmosphere with a beautiful bar, pool tables and football games on tv.
Now to the menu…wow! The options were amazing! I have never had chicken and waffles and was so excited so I ordered them (I got a half portion which was more like a 1/4 portion…so I’ll order the full next time). All the food is made to order so it takes a little longer to get your meal but it is definitely worth it! The waffle was crisp but soft, the chicken was beautifully breaded and was so moist when the bacon jam was a perfect addition! The maple syrup was warm and sticky and perfect. My friend ordered a grilled cheese sandwich and commented that the tomato tasted like it came out of her grandmas garden.
The fries were perfectly crispy and not soggy at all.
The owners husband was amazing and shared awesome things about how they source the food, how they bring their heritage into the restaurant and recipes. He and his family are all gluten free and he cooks like he wants to eat!
The only thing I’d recommend (and if you’re celiac, you should already know) is to simply reiterate that you are celiac as some menu items aren’t gf.
We will purposely be driving through Ault again, just to go to Ugly Pony!

1st time being in or ordering from here and it did not disappoint!! I felt bad putting an order in at 7:25pm (kitchen closes at 8pm), but this food was made with all happiness and no grump! The chicken and waffles are fire per my child! 2 waffles with this meal ( she devoured the 1st before I could get a picture). The garlic parm fries are SOO good; the BLT she’s thick and delish! I’d keep going but I’d rather keep eating!! We’ve lived in town for 20yrs and waited for the day for food like this to be local ! We shall be back…might even be Besties!!

My husband and I are both gluten free, and this is by far the best bar food & gluten free food options in northern Colorado! We eat here about once a week and love it. They also have a gluten free beer option which most small dive bars don’t!
