Burnell's - Gunnison

I discovered this gem while camping in the area and was delighted to find an outdoor seating area at the food truck for me and my dogs. The patio has 7 tables spaced out nicely, and there are chairs available for to-go orders. A large pine tree provides shade overhead. The menu is simple and changes daily, written on a chalkboard. The prices are fair for a quality food truck. I had a hard time choosing between the Philly or shrimp poboy, but ended up with the poboy. The order was quickly ready, and the sandwich was huge and delicious. It came with chips and was loaded with plump, perfectly cooked shrimp in a flavorful cajun remoulade with bacon, sautéed onions, and bell peppers. Overall, I loved it! The sandwich was bursting with flavor. I even joked that it was like a Cajun shrimp Philly without the cheese. The owner Kevin was friendly and easy to talk to. Whether you're passing through or a local, don't miss the chance to try this place out before their winter break. Keep an eye out for their return – you won't be disappointed!

We had Burnell's cater our wedding and they were amazing! The food was delicious, our guests all raved about it, and the price was just right. They were very accommodating, even when we had to postpone due to Covid. We are thrilled that we chose Burnell's for our special day!

We had a lovely lunch at Burnells today! The chicken salad was exactly what I was hoping for. The elk brat was delicious and not too 'game-y '! And The sweet potato tots were out of this world! A must stop in my opinion!

We had the great pleasure of working with Denise and Kevin, owners of Burnell's, when they catered our daughter's wedding. Planning an event like this from out of state (the wedding was in Crested Butte and we live in Ohio) had plenty of challenges. In times like that, people like Denise and Kevin are invaluable. They exceeded our highest expectations in every way. They were not only helpful, flexible and professional but also wise, generous and excellent in their craft. They worked hard to honor our daughter's wishes while providing guidance and direction that come only from years of experience. The end result was stunning. The appetizers (elk chorizo mushrooms, chicken and waffles with raspberry sauce, shrimp and grits and charcuterie boards) were not only delicious but created a buzz of excitement and anticipation among the guests. The main course took it to whole other level. The chicken breast with peach sauce and sous vide beef tenderloin were nothing short of amazing. The sides (fresh salad, warm rolls with homemade parsley honey butter, crispy smashed potatoes and broccolini) complimented the main dishes perfectly. After planning this event for almost two years and having people travel from great distances to celebrate with us, it was wonderful to have so many guests make a special effort to comment on how excellent dinner was! The whole culinary experience from Burnell's was truly one of the highlights of the reception and we are grateful to have had the opportunity to have worked with Denise and Kevin and experience first hand their exceptional ability to create a gourmet meal.

I decided to try this restaurant based on the photos of their food, but I was disappointed with the experience overall. I prefer my meals to be served hot and ready to eat, rather than needing to be reheated at home.
