During Trinidaddio Blues Festival ONLY, Tees Me Treat Me is happy to feature our popular Cheesesteak for just $13.50!

We've also got freshly toasted and candied pecans, Hank's Soda Floats (choose from Root B**r, Birch B**r, Black Cherry, Grape, Orange Cream, and Vanilla Cream), and homemade Ice Cream Sandwiches made from our famous Chocolate Chip Cookies.

While our normal menu remains available, these items are only available during the festival.

Don't miss out on these limited time specials. Come on down now, because when they're gone... you guessed it, they're gone. We will be here until the music stops.

Moving our gift shop out has taken a little longer than expected. Therefore, Tees Me Treat Me will reopen Wednesday, August 12, 2026. Thank you for your patience and continued support.

ATTENTION TO THIS VERY IMPORTANT AND SERIOUS MATTER!

Haha, now that I have your attention. I need to let our valued community know about a TEMPORARY CLOSING of Tees Me Treat Me.

Let's face it. There is nothing more irritating than going to a restaurant to find it completely packed with no tables available for new diners, like yourself. After all, chewing through a clock is not what you had planned for your lunch break. That has been our problem for most of this summer and we're taking steps to fix it!

As such, we will be closed starting tomorrow, Monday, August 3rd through Sunday, August 9th, so that we can create more dining room space by moving our Gift & Souvenir Shop out of our location at 105 W. Main St. This step will help us seat 50% more hungry people.

The week-long closure is merely a loose estimate. If we can finish the work faster, we will reopen the following day and let everyone know right here on our wall. We feel that a week is enough to get everything out and everything set up with time to spare, especially on our old and aching bodies.

As always, thank you for your patience, and for supporting the small businesses of Trinidad, Colorado.

Introducing this Weekend's Special!

🥪The Cattle Man's BBQ Cheddar Ranch BLT🥪

This thing is pilled high with six thick-cut slices of 🥓Applewood Smoked Bacon and drenched in our Classic BBQ Sauce layered with Mild Yellow 🧀Cheddar Cheese, Crunchy 🥬Bibb Lettuce (not that recalled stuff), smothered in our Homemade Ranch Dressing with 🍅Juicy Tomato Slices riding atop our toasted Brioche-Style 🍞Sourdough Bread like a proud rancher.

Maybe it hits our regular menu, but I wouldn't count on it. Get yours this weekend before we stop makin' 'em!

As always, there's never a charge for the napkins, bags, chips, lids, straws ~ whatever you need ~ to get this wherever you're goin' and down the ole hatch!

Heck, we don't even charge you fer usin' yer credit and debit cards. Nope! The only thing you've gotta swallow is the Special 🥪Cattle Man's BBQ Cheddar Ranch BLT🥪

It's a brand new day! This is just a quick check-in to let everyone know that our various scrapes, bumps and brushes are on the mend and that we've recovered from the illnesses that necessitated our unplanned closure yesterday and have returned to full-strength to serve you again! Come on down!

07/29/2026

Despite our large staff, an illness and an accident means we cannot "field a team" today and regrettably must close for the day.

We sorry for the inconvenience and last minute notice. Thank you for understanding and for your support.

A quick note from our kitchen:

Trinidad, we like keeping things simple. We never charge for take‑out packaging - cups, lids, napkins, bags, all of it. If you’re taking your food to go, those basics are on us. And whether you pay cash, debit, or credit, your price is exactly the same.

At Tees Me Treat Me there are no extra fees. No gimmicks. No surprises. Just honest food at honest prices.

Thanks for supporting a small, scratch‑made, Southwestern deli that keeps things simple, fair, and transparent.

We are learning that there are some other businesses who share in this commitment. If your business is one of them, share it in the comments and we will update the list below.

This is just a quick notice to our valued guests that we will be closed July 3rd and 4th. Not because it’s “good for business,” but because it’s good for our people. Because our staff deserves a couple days where the only thing they have to prep is potato salad. Because sometimes the most patriotic thing you can do… is not run a restaurant for 48 hours.

I believe in giving my staff the chance to be with their families - to grill, laugh, watch fireworks (when permissible), drone shows (when the weather allows), and make memories - whatever they choose in their individual pursuits of happiness. Restaurants don’t run on money alone; they run on humans, and humans need and deserve time with the people they love.

We promise we’re not abandoning you… we’re just letting our team enjoy the holiday without having to slice, grill, sauté, or explain what aioli is.

If you can't wait that long, come on by today or tomorrow. If you can't make it, don't worry. We’ll reopen Sunday at our normal hours, fully recharged and slightly sunburned.

Thank you for understanding and for supporting a place that puts family first.

A message from the City.

STAGE III WATER RESTRICTIONS BEGIN JULY 1, 2026

Due to extreme drought conditions and critically low water levels, the City of Trinidad is implementing Stage III Water Restrictions, the highest level of water conservation measures.

💧 Watering Schedule
❌ No watering on Mondays
🏠 Even-numbered addresses (0, 2, 4, 6, 8):
Water Wednesday, Friday & Sunday
⏰ 6:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. only
🏠 Odd-numbered addresses (1, 3, 5, 7, 9):
Water Tuesday, Thursday & Saturday
⏰ 6:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. only

Additional restrictions include:
• No new rural extra-territorial water taps
• Vehicle washing only with a shutoff nozzle or bucket
• Prevent runoff onto streets, sidewalks, and driveways
• Limit filling of fountains and ponds unless necessary for aquatic life

To further conserve water, the City will turn off the Splash Pad at Cimino Park effective immediately. Because the splash pad requires a continuous flow of water, it is considered a significant water use during severe drought conditions.

The Community Center Pool will remain open. The pool is already filled and requires relatively little water to maintain, allowing residents and visitors to continue enjoying this important community amenity while minimizing additional water consumption.

⚠️ Violations may result in fines ranging from $300 to $2,650.
