What NicoleP doesn't like about Rio Grande - Ft. Collins:
Despite having made a reservation and requested a booth, we were seated at a table in a high-traffic area. To add insult to injury, a booth nearby remained unoccupied for most of our meal, which was extra disappointing considering we were celebrating a special anniversary with out-of-town guests.

I enjoyed my experience at your restaurant. We came on Tuesday and took advantage of early specials. The food was good and served quickly. Our waitress was friendly and good and we will be coming back. View all feedback.

This place was packed, so I'm glad I had a reservation. There was a long wait, so service was not overly speedy. Servers were friendly, upbeat, and handled my b...

This restaurant in Fort Collins has a mixed reputation based on customer reviews. While some guests have been disappointed with various aspects such as seating arrangements, underwhelming entrees, and substandard food quality, others have praised the friendly service and decent food options. The outdoor patio with a view of the river is a highlight for many, despite some shortcomings in the food presentation. The atmosphere is generally lively and busy, making it a favorite spot for many locals. The margaritas and queso dip are particularly popular, with loyal customers returning for over 30 years. Overall, the Rio offers a reliable dining experience with room for improvement in certain areas.
