Baked walleye.
Dyron H.

Our first time to spend any time in La Veta and a reservation at Alys' is a must. The food was terrific, and the wine list was top-notch, with very reasonable pricing.

Teriyaki pork
Riley B.

This was truly one of the best restaurants I have ever been to. Shortly after we walked in we were welcomed and offered the choice of sitting indoors or on the patio, we chose the patio. Our server (unfortunately I don't remember his name) asked if we wanted a wine list but we decided against it (my grandmother ended up getting the cab later, one of the smoothest wines she has ever had and it was only 6 dollars). He brought out our antipasto which was a tomato pesto (forgot the name unfortunately), sheep cheese, and Chinese 5 seasoned pork with fresh bread, truly delicious. Our appetizer choices were house salad or New England clam chowder, my grandmother got the salad I got the clam chowder, I have to admit I was a little skeptical when it came out, I prefer a thicker clam chowder, but this was truly one of the best clam chowders I have ever had, and I am from a costal state. My grandmother loved her salad. It is an entirely verbal menu, he gave us 7ish (maybe 8 lol) different options, I went with the Duck confit with a blackberry currant glaze, jasmine rice, and brown beech mushroom and green bean. My grandmother had the teriyaki pork loin chop on jasmine rice paired with the beech mushroom and green beans. I have been to France, Italy, Germany, the UK, Gordon Ramseys Hell's Kitchen, and other Michelin restaurants. When I say this is truly the best piece of poultry I have ever consumed, I mean it. It was tender but not mushy, the rice was cooked perfectly and the glaze brought just enough sweetness and tartness to balance the fat from the duck. It was one of the only meals I have ever consumed and absolutely loved every aspect of. I don't even like mushrooms and I ate every single one. My grandmother loved her food, she has been having some slight stomach issues and she said it felt very good to her body. The loin was evidently pulled just before 145, allowing it to rest and remain extra, extraordinarily juicy and tender, the teriyaki sauce was sweet but not too sweet, it had just the perfect amount of tang as well as notes of ginger I believe. For desert we had the crème brûlée which was extraordinary, one of the best I have ever had. I talked with the head chef (he went to a culinary school in Scottsdale Arizona), and he was a very kind man who brought out our crème brûlée personally to us. If you are hearing all of this and thinking "man this is out of my price range" it is priced at $40 dollars for the antipasto, the soup/salad, and the entree, which is absolutely ludicrous for this quality of food, they could easily charge 60-80 a plate. I highly recommend you give this place a try.

The beautiful purple bathroom
Jackson L.

My family has been coming to La Veta every summer for almost 30 years now. We're from Dallas & Houston and love having a getaway out in the country, but it's always so wonderful to a nice out with a truly fine meal! The service is always immaculate; everyone is kind and Aly herself is always wonderful to chat with when she has the time. It has gorgeous patio and indoor seating, a fabulous wine selection, and I believe is wheelchair accessible as well. I have nothing but positive things to say about this place! Thank you Aly for so many summers of wonderful memories! P.S. the bathroom is SO CUTE

Steak, mashed potatoes and corn.
Jennifer M.

We've heard about Alys' Restaurant from friends raving about her food. They were spot on, maybe even undersold it. I started with the soup which was delicious and light. For my entree I ordered the ravioli with mushrooms and side of corn and it was amazing. Homemade ravioli with a mushroom ragu that was rich and flavorful. My friends had the T-bone steaks and said they were tender & cooked to perfection. I had the homemade apple cake for dessert and wish I had Alys' recipe, it was delicious. Definitely make a reservation as it's a small restaurant with wonderful staff, great art and of course, the infamous Alys.

Prices?? I don't see them anywhere!

no prices and no menu. prices are reasonable for what you get. Around upper $20s to mid 40s. Depends on what you order. It will be worth it. Desserts were $5 and a steal.

I'm updating my review because I've been back several times since my first visit, and a few things…read morehave changed. When I first came here, the food was excellent but the service was... not. The place was busy -- maybe a dozen tables plus bar seating, and about 80% full -- but even with a busboy helping, the waiter/operator barely paid me any attention. Maybe it was the beard and the autumn work attire, maybe it was just bad timing, but I felt pretty ignored overall. I was so irritated that I only tipped fifty cents -- and that's saying something, because I always tip well. Fast forward to now: he's much better. It seems like he may have seen my original review (the 4-star one) and wasn't thrilled about it. Still, to his credit, the service has definitely improved, and the food remains phenomenal. On my return visits, I've tried the Western Omelette (pro tip: ask for it with their jalapeño cream cheese for a delicious kick!) and, for the first time ever, chicken and waffles. Both were fantastic -- and honestly, I'll probably never order chicken and waffles anywhere else again. Still, I always find myself coming back for the huevos rancheros. Funny story: I asked the owner/waiter about their huevos rancheros recipe. He told me it's been in the family for 45 years. The ingredients are surprisingly simple -- nothing fancy, not even cumin -- so either he's guarding a well-kept family secret, or his father, the cook, has simply perfected the art of turning ordinary ingredients into something extraordinary. As far as ambience, this place is just an ordinary, mountain diner. I love their floor though, and I would like to replicate it in the next cabin I build.

Homer's Gumbo Pot is a Cajun culinary gem, right on the 115 Hwy. It's a little place, with big "Bon…read moreTon" ambiance, and delicious, fresh made, Cajun food. The best Boudin Balls I've ever had, fried right on the outside, with savory tender sausage and rice on the inside. Shrimp Po'boy to die for, (and that "Oh-lawd" sauce is no joke), delicious, fresh, and huge! I haven't dug into my Muffuletta yet, but I have no doubt that it will be as delicious as the rest of their food. Between the food, the ambiance, and the friendly folks, Homer's Gumbo Pot is a must, for authentic, delicious Cajun food. Stop in! You won't be disappointed!

I love finding new places. Even better when it exceeds expectations. Wife and I after visiting the…read moreroyal gorge found ourselves at the doorstep of this wonderful gem. It's just a step outside of the main business areas of downtown Canon City, but it is worth the 4-5 min extra drive. As any travel expert would say, you always find the right food places away from the town center. Okay to the food, mind blown. Wife hailing from the gulf coast has exceeding high expectations of Cajun/creole foods so I was preparing for the worst. However to both of our surprise, the food passed judgement with flying colors. The shrimp Po'boy was massive with the perfect amount of shrimp and toppings that kept it a traditional "make your tongue slap the back of your throat" Po'boy! My wife ordered the gumbo which brought the heat and flavors that satisfied her desire to eat something that reminded her of home. All in all, it made her pass out on the way back home. You know that's a good meal! If you are in these parts, I highly recommend you come and visit and give Marcus (owner) and family a hello. They would welcome your business
