At Skirted Heifer, every patty is smashed on a hot grill, flames kissing the edges until that signature cheese skirt crisps into golden perfection. The vibe is funky, local, and friendly, with comfort classics upgraded by smart sourcing and playful flavor. Come hungry, leave grinning, and plan your next visit before the last bite is gone.
The Signature Skirted Heifer Burger
The Signature Skirted Heifer Burger arrives with a dramatic halo of crispy melted cheese that spills past the bun like a golden lace curtain. You bite through the skirt first, hearing a crackle, then hit juicy smashed beef kissed by open flame. Tangy pickles and a soft toasted bun balance the savory richness perfectly.
What makes it addictive is texture. The caramelized edges meet oozy center cheese, creating a contrast you keep chasing. You can add green chiles, onions, or their house sauces, but the core stays honest and bold. It tastes like Colorado comfort without any pretense.
Pair it with fries and a custard swirl. You will plan your next order immediately.
