First visit: Apr 2025
I've had The Green Line Grill circled for a few years now as a place to try. I even thought when I served on jury duty last year, I'd give them a shot then. But it became apparent it was too far a walk from the courthouse. Wednesday is usually my day to "work" Colorado Springs, and if I stay on schedule, I should be near downtown for lunch. And that was the case on this day. I didn't realize how close The Green Line was from my usual thrift stop, so let's finally give it a try.
Location: Off of Wahsatch just east of downtown. Looks and feels like your classic dive bar. Checkered floors, booths, pool tables, etc... I believe you can park at the restaurant for free, though I saw meters on adjacent parking lots. It's pretty far off the beaten path and paying for parking seems silly. Order at the counter.
Food: The Green Line Grill is known for their "Onion Fried Cheese Burger". I'd never heard of such a thing, but I'm trying it! Apparently it's a regional delicacy from Oklahoma. I love regional foods! Essentially it's a hamburger with thin sliced onions heavily crisped and laid atop the burger. Doesn't that look good? It is too. I heard them cooking my burger, way beyond your usual fast food joint. Though I stated I didn't want fries, I received them anyway! No charge. That was good of them. They were excellent too. Mrs. RJG would like this place.
Drinks: They have a full bar with three taps. All of them from our local Goat Patch. I stuck with water as I still had a full day ahead.
Overall: Definitely coming back and The Green Line Grill is now part of the RJG Rotation.
