HISTORY

THE TRUE GRIT CAFE

SINCE NEW YEAR’S 1985

The True Grit Café opened on New Year’s Eve in 1985 and was built to honor the filming of the Academy Award winning movie “True Grit” starring John Wayne. The movie was filmed in 1968 in and around Ridgway and Ouray. The internal south wall of the True Grit Cafe was the original external wall of “Chambers Grocery” from one of the first scenes in the movie. The enduring popularity of the movie brings visitors from all over the world to eat at the True Grit Cafe. Our walls are covered with pictures of the iconic star’s film legacy.


We specialize in "Quality Comfort Food” serving more than 9,500 Burgers a year and over 5,000 hand-breaded Chicken Fried Steaks – a locals’ favorite.
