We came here for the food but were absolutely blown away at the interior dining area. It is a greenhouse filled with trees, bar, pool, and hot tub. The food was perfect, we ordered the lamb and Steak Diane. The steak was the beefiest tasting beef and the lamb was perfectly cooked and seasoned. Service was super fast and courteous. Decent beer selection. Did not get a photo of the food because it disappeared too quickly, so took pictures inside. The motel rooms open out into the pool/dining area

Stopped by on our way home from Denver. Remembering the ole' Cow Palace. Tammy our waitress shared her favorites when we asked - delightful and so helpful in sharing about the entrees. We shared an appetizer and meal because she said the portions were large. We had the pork nachos (loaded with goodness and handmade chips). Then topped it off with the chicken fried steak (Chicken Fry Mountain). Best chicken fry I've had in years! Ample cream gravy and perfect amount of really good French fries. Steak was so tender you didn't need a knife. Then Tammy recommended dessert which we had the triple cheesecake and cream brule (which rivaled Ritz Carlton). Best dining experience in the quaint atrium. Wonderful ending to our road trip! Highly recommend!

Great place to eat, food is always consistently good. My wife and kids all have things on the menu they enjoy. Rissa is the best server hands down, we request to be in her section every time we go. Excellent service. She knows what we want to drink as soon as we walk in the door. We like the poppers as an appetizer.

What a hidden gem! I came to Lamar for a family event and Tavern 1301 was simply amazing. The indoor courtyard and lighting is beautiful and I got to also watch all the sports in their bar area. The staff? Let me tell you- they were so friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The food was amazing. I would come back to Lamar just to have a couple meals in this restaurant. Well done team 1301!

Amazing food with such beautiful original flavor that I know is the best meal my wife I've had this year and we live in Houston TX (the land of restaurants). The residents of Lamar CO have a 5 Star meal at their beckon call, I'm a little jelly I must admit. We were lucky enough to have Carlos J (restaurant General Manager) , serve us today and he is such a polite and gracious professional. We will no doubt return when we next past through on our way to the Rocky Mountains. Eddie

Absolutely amazing experience! The steak was incredibly delicious – perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The cheesy potatoes served in a small skillet were outstanding, definitely a must-try! The staff was very friendly and welcoming, and the person who recommended the wine was extremely professional — their choice was spot on and complemented the meal perfectly. The atmosphere of the restaurant was really cool and made the whole evening even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this place!

We’re traveling through, and staying at a nearby hotel. We chose 1301 Tavern out of convenience. So glad we did. I had the porkchop with blackberry sauce. My wife had the squash enchilada. Both dishes were fantastic. At prices easily half of what you’d expect for food of this quality. Tammy was our server, and did a great job. Highly recommend this restaurant!

I stopped earlier in the day after lunch time. I had the 12 oz filet and doubled up on tots. (They do have more side choices) The food was delicious. I would recommend.
