South Side Restaurant & Bar has been a staple in Limon, CO for over 50 years. Under new ownership, and completely renovated, in 2025, we’ve preserved the eclectic, nostalgic decor while reworking the menu to focus on classic American food made from scratch—handcrafted burgers, fresh-made pizza, and more. Our full bar features 8 rotating taps, the largest draft selection in town. Guests enjoy pool, shuffleboard, corn hole, a backyard horseshoe pit, and a spacious, dog-friendly patio. Whether you’re a local or a traveler passing through on I-70 or Hwy 24, stop in for fresh food, cold drinks, and great time in a laid-back, welcoming atmosphere.

On our way to Nebraska and we decided to stop for lunch. South Side restaurant was on our way. We got there early for lunch so there was plenty of parking. Staff were friendly and said we could take any available seat. Abigail, our server, was friendly and expedient. We ordered hot drinks, as well as, a mushroom / Swiss cheeseburger and Chicken tenders with fries . They came out hot and fresh in a short time. The food was delicious. Price for a meal is competitive. We enjoyed our experience at South Side.
I asked about the fire place and she replied it was outside near the open dining area. Plus, it was under new management and restored the indoor dining area complete with old western portraits and memorabilia. The bar was nicely renovated, too. I think we’ll return again to experience Happy Hour.

1st time here since new ownership and complete makeover inside and out! Simple menu with tried and true menu choices. Very clean and well decorated interior with nice historical touches. Cheeseburgers were excellent, cooked perfectly, moist, toppings were a very welcome addition over the typical franchise places ! Fries were fabulous with the right amount of salt. Beverages were ample plus in choices! Very highly recommended for travelers as well as local inhabitants! Will return! Well done to the entire staff!

Great atmosphere, the place is quite large, it gave a sports bar feel on one side with a pool table, and more of a relaxed feel on the other side. Service was excellent, they were having a soft opening because of the new menu so it was mostly burgers, pizza, and wings when we were there for their first week. The onion rings were phenomenal. I would definitely eat there again.

Amazing atmosphere and a perfect place for our toddlers to play and eat after a long drive!
It’s so refreshing to see someone invest in the community like this. I would highly recommend this spot to other travelers—it’s family-friendly and welcoming. We’ll definitely be back!
A special shoutout to Amy, who did a great job accommodating us. The pizza took a bit longer to cook than expected, but she kindly brought out complimentary cheese sticks, which our kids absolutely loved. We really appreciated her thoughtful gesture!

A nice, new casual eatery. We stopped for lunch on our way up CO-72 to avoid Denver.
We had a regular Cheeseburger with Bleu and a Bacon Cheeseburger. Both delicious but only cooked one way.
We ordered Onion Rings in place of fries and they were excellent.
Glad we found this local eatery.

The food for the most part is good, you’re not waiting forever for it at least during the day when I went. The selection of the food and drinks is pretty large without having to go to a hipster style joint. Definitely a nice break after a long drive or day.
The whole place is clean which is nice to see in a business that obviously gets a lot of volume and cleanliness falls by the wayside fast. Parking isn’t bad. Such a great place to hang out with your friends and not feel rushed to leave.
Love the indoor and outdoor seating areas and the staff’s attitude. Definitely a place to hang with your friends or relax and won’t break your bank.

Stopped in here a couple of years ago. So we were looking for some good Mexican food. Things changed! Inside has been remodeled looking good. Food was pretty good.

From out of town, visiting son who lives in Limon. Great food & great service!! And honest people!! Left my purse hanging on the chair, came back 10 minutes later and the server had put it in the back. Nice to know there are still good people in this world.

While there are few servers so it takes them a little bit to make their rounds, this is our regular place to eat at when we choose to eat out unless we go to Colorado Springs. We are in town for work but originally from Texas. The food is great, servers are friendly, and they try their absolute best! We have tried their pizza, burgers, chicken sandwich with buffalo sauce to make a buffalo chicken sandwich. While their pizza is okay, the burgers and chicken sandwich are the absolute best! We also love their fries! They are fresh cut and not battered and frozen which we love!
