MENU

Burger Stabbed on Sword

Our menu has grown, but purposefully not strayed from where it all began. All of our burgers are 7 oz of Colorado born, fed, and raised beef. We have toasted Brioche buns and gluten free buns.  Heck, you can even get a burger on a bowl of tater tots or a salad if you're really feeling gluten-free dreamy! We built a menu that appeals to everybody, but we also like to push the boundaries on what can be put on a burger. At The Buena Viking, we believe that comfort food can elevate and fix a day, and that being hangry is going out of style. Whether you're a vegetarian, vegan, meat eater, or just need “a little snack", we've got something for you!

BURGERS

River Eddy

​

THE VIKING BURGER*

7 oz Colorado-grown patty, cheddar, lettuce, tomatoes, onion, pickles and mayo. 
 

Our signature burger, just because your burger is basic does not mean you are! Keeeeep it simple.

​​​

$14.50
​​​​

​​​​

THE NAKED VIKING*

7oz Colorado-grown patty, cheddar.

$15.00

​​​​​​

​​​

THE OKLAHOMA SMASH BURGER*

Colorado Smash burger SMASHED with thinly sliced white onions, American cheese, Viking sauce and pickles.
 

Even though we built our reputation by refusing to smash the glory out of our beef, we’ve grown to accept that it has a place in our burger empire. Because everyone belongs in our restaurant! Enjoy a little taste of that Oklahoma smash without the wind and slightly questionable politics. 


Single $13, Double $15.00

​​​​​​

​​

THE ROYALE WITH CHEESE*

7 oz Colorado-grown patty, Viking sauce, American cheese, pickles and diced white onions.

​

“They don’t call it a Quarter Pounder with Cheese?” No, they got the metric system there, they wouldn’t know what the “f” a Quarter Pounder is. Then what do they call it? They Call it Royale with Cheese! “Trying to forget anything as intriguing as this would be an exercise in futility!” That’s enough Pulp Fiction for this menu, so here’s our version!


$14.00​​​​​
 

​​​

THE POWDER DAY*

7 oz Colorado-grown patty, goat cheese, and drizzled with honey.

​

Do you find magic in the soft, fluffy, deep snow days? The Powder Day burger will take you to that peaceful state of awe, and you can get there without five layers of clothes and boots on your feet! We’d like you to not add ketchup, but you be you.


$14.00

​

​

THE BERSERKER*

Two 7 oz Colorado-grown patties, both covered in cheddar, lettuce, tomatoes, onion, apple cider bacon, a runny egg, whiskey caramelized onions, pickles, and mayo.

​

Maybe you feel the need to prove something today, perhaps you are just really hungry from conquering your adventure, or maybe you want to make sure your stomach is cushioned to help with the amount of cold beer you’re about to consume. Whatever your pathway is to this gem, put your big girl/boy pants on and Viking up! There’s a chance you’ve consumed something this awesome in your life, but a slim one.


$27.00

​

​

THE BOONE*

7 oz Colorado-grown patty, a slab of cream cheese, and pile of pickled jalapeños.

​

This burger is named after our big, beautiful, and rambunctious dog who was our constant companion for over 14 years. That’s as far as the comparison to a canine goes.


$14.50

​

​

DREAMY BRIEMY BURGER*

7 oz Colorado-grown patty, Brie cheese, fig jam.

​

Here lies your burger for when you’re feeling classy! The “I want a 5-star experience at a burger joint with drinking horns on the wall” feeling. Cheers to being fabulous.


$16.00

​

​

HYGGE HYPE BURGER*

7 oz Colorado-grown patty, Swiss, Gruyère, whiskey caramelized onions and fried onions.

​

Hygge (pronounced hewwga) is a “quality of coziness, comfort, and conviviality that embraces a feeling of contentment and well-being.” It’s our rally cry. It’s a cultural phenomenon that we could all use a little bit more of! This burger wraps you in a soft blanket, lights a candle in your mind, and sings you a lullaby.


$16.00

​

​

THE CAPRESE*

7 oz. Colorado-grown patty, a thick slab of fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, basil pesto, with a balsamic drizzle.

​

Summer calls for Caprese days, but your mouth calls for burger nights. We’re here to give you everything you need in life.


$16.00

​

​

THE BARBARIAN*

7 oz Colorado-grown patty, cheddar, Thundersnout BBQ sauce, a mountain of coleslaw, and crunchy fried onions.

​

According to Wikipedia and whatever AI format you’re listening to these days, a barbarian is a human who is perceived to be either uncivilized or primitive. We don’t necessarily think this burger is primitive, but sometimes civilizations are overrated. Offering the battle cry for conquering the taste buds.


$15.00

​

​

THE BLUE SKY*

7 oz Colorado-grown patty, melty-gooey blue cheese crumbles, and apple cider bacon.

​

We’re not trying to reinvent the wheel here. Blue cheese and bacon go back to the Viking days. It’s been whispered that more than pillaging, they wooed villages with this witchcraft combo.


$15.00

HALF | $6.50

​
 

SUMMER SHIFFRIN SALAD

Wild arugula, red chard, baby kale, romaine, toasted sunflower seeds, candied pecans, fresh strawberries, goat cheese, Granny Smith apples, raspberry walnut vinaigrette.


We’re obsessed with ski racing, legends have boasted of the Vikings ski racing in-between all of the raiding and pillaging. Fast forward to Mikaela Shiffrin being the absolute G.O.A.T. of ski racing, and we think she’s awesome, so we named a salad after her.
