The name does not lie! This hidden El Jebel gem has your simple American Breakfast food. This was my first going, but my friends' FAVORITE spot to get breakfast. There is something for everyone here, good selection of flavors at a good price. Great place to go with friends to chat over brunch. I would go here again. *cash / check read more

Stopped in for breakfast and grabbed seats at the bar to watch them make food. The cooks were great as they showed us what they were making and interacting with us for a while. The server seemed ready to go home and not as energetic to be there. She didn't bring our drinks and then forgot to mention the coffee was self serve. The food was as expected for a traditional diner and the portions were fair. The price point was extremely fair for this area of the valley. Parking was easy and seats were easy to get. This is definitely a local classic hangout. read more

Our fav diner in El Jabel! We always eat here when we visit the area. It's classic, open kitchen diner food and it's absolutely fantastic. They cook everything fresh and to order. The cooks are experts, man. They are master short order cooks. It is a bit of a dive, but you can't beat the consistency and the price. I'd pass on the biscuits and gravy, omletes, etc. I'd stick with the classic, two eggs, bacon, hashbrowns kinda thing. Never been disappointed. Oh, coffee and water is self serve. Which is great b/c you never have to wait on your server to warm up your coffee. lol Beware, in the mornings on the weekend it's paaaaacked! Another review giving it to you straight, no chaser! Enjoy! read more

Drive 24 minutes to eat at this restaurant because of its good location. but we had a bad time when we arrived The girl who sat us down gave us a very bad attitude and she didn't think that we spoke Spanish and she spoke very rudely to another employee in Spanish and told us, "Well, mother, she has a very ugly Mexican attitude. When we spoke to her in Spanish, she just gave up because she didn't think that I spoke Spanish too. Very bad treatment for some clients. I own a restaurant as well and I would never talk like that and treat clients that way. I shouldn't be working for the public. We left without eating. read more

While skiing/visiting Aspen, I couldn't find breakfast place that was suitable for a good price so I drove here and had the huevos rancheros. They were excellent. I actually added an extra egg for $1.50 because I was going to be skiing all day and this would be my only meal until dinner and it delivered! It was so good. I ordered an extra order to go of chorizo and eggs to have for breakfast the following day in my Airbnb, again, before skiing. It, too, was excellent reheated in the microwave. The service was excellent and friendly, and the place was clean and comfortable. I will remember this the next time I am here and will be back. read more

Friendly, fast, and delicious! We sat at the counter and were amazed by the speed and friendlyness of the chefs. The hash browns were actually crispy the toast was toasted, Denver omelet was perfect. read more

We both got migas and they were delicious. I had mine over easy. Better than every breakfast in Aspen. The ambiance is very basic but our service was excellent ! The price is Far, far better than Aspen and well worth the drive! read more

"When I was young it seemed that life was so wonderful, a miracle......" I know. I know. Could I get more cliche than quoting a Supertramp song from the album that this diner is named after? I mean, I could talk about how my flight from Dallas was canceled and I had to take the long way home but I don't think you would be interested. Forget the nonsense, this is a good place for breakfast. If you are a fan of slightly divey no-frills diners, this is the place for you. Those are my favorite places so I was quite happy. Breakfast is simple and the coffee is self serve and plentiful. I recommend sitting at the bar for the full diner effect. I had a western omelet and hashbrowns. They didn't blow me away but I did see the corn beef hash and it looked amazing. The omelet was the better part of the meal and the fact that they had El Yucateca hot sauce made it even better. Making matters even better was that the prices were reasonable. Reasonable prices in this area are hard to come by so make sure you eat here. read more

This was a recommendation by my Brother in Law. We stopped here on the way to Aspen & had a great breakfast. Friendly service & a wide variety to choose from. I had coffe & the Huevos Rancheros, Christmas style with red & green chili sauce. It was delicious- with melted cheddar cheese, chopped scallions, pulled pork & beans & corn tortilla & crispy, shredded hash browns. I ordered my eggs over easy & loved this dish. My husband got the combo with biscuits & gravy & eggs, over easy & he really enjoyed his as well. Good place to stop for a filling breakfast with good service. read more

Great place! The food is authentic and the perfect comfort meal. They have all your traditional breakfast staples. We've been coming here for years now and it's a town favorite. Cute interior that is very much old school bar style where they cook in front of you. In the summer you can sit outside! Great time and great people. read more

Breakfast in America is a no-frills mom-and-pop breakfast spot that gives you your bang for your buck. The prices are super affordable with plenty of entrees under $10, and the portion sizes are huge. The food is nothing fancy, but it is yummy comfort food that hits the spot. My boyfriend and I came for breakfast, and we had the huevos rancheros and the corned beef hash. The staff and service are both efficient, and we got our food relatively quickly. We came in hungry but left very stuffed and with some leftovers. Breakfast in America is the spot to go to for simple homemade food. Breakfast is the specialty, but there is a lunch menu as well. However, this is not the place for a late lunch - the restaurant closes at 1:50 P.M. everyday except Sunday in which they close an hour earlier. If you want a cheap and tasty meal, go to Breakfast in America. If you want a fancy meal, there are plenty of other options in the area. read more

The food was good and had their local flair. Service was ok. Our waitress seemed very unhappy to be here. Had to serve yourself with beverages. Pricing was not that much cheaper than our hotel. read more

Disappointed in the Creamed Chipped Beef as it was not chipped dried beef you get in the diners back east. This was served with a steak sandwich style type of beef:( also no Scrapple on the menu. read more

Incredibly uncomfortable experience. I was excited to eat here after hearing about his place from my boyfriend who came here 8 years ago. Coming from New York City to a smaller town. We would at least hope for a welcoming smile. When we arrived, it was not busy. We figured a perfect time to eat 12:30pm. A young lady, and a young man were attending. Not a hello or welcoming face. Actually complete opposite. We smiles and asked if where we could sit. They did not even answer! Not even give us a menu. So we asked if we could sit outside (was empty as well. To my shock, the man seemed upset by this request. Didn't even answer us, went outside , cleaned the table and still didn't t seem to want us there. So we left. Hungry, shocked, and disappointed. I refuse to spend my money where I'm not welcome. It's unfortunate. We had high hopes for this place. read more

Good old fashioned breakfasts with a few twists. Reasonably priced for the region of the state. And the staff is friendly.

The food is very good. Harkens back to the best greasy spoons of years ago. The coffee is self serve, and there are no frills in the environment, but it's worth a stop. read more

BIA was a welcomed change from everything else ($$$) in the valley. We got the fried rice and the migas. Both were fantastic and extremely tasty. Will be back! read more

This is our absolute FAVORITE place to go for breakfast. The staff is super friendly and welcoming, and the owner Dan is VERY kind and cares about his people and customers. The food is fresh, cooked right in front of you if you sit at the bar! They make everything in house and it's really evident in their flavor and quality. This place is EXCELLENT every time! Honestly this place needs more hype. We love ordering the Migas and drinking the chai from the drink station. read more

Food is always great!!!! Service is perfect and I can't imagine why anyone would have a problem with self serve coffee. It's a great idea..... no waiting for the waitress to get around to bringing you coffee. You simply get up and walk a few feet to the coffee potIt's always fun to sit at the counter. This place has a good, hometown feel. Can't wait to go again. read more

I wanted to like it, but found the famous huevos rancheros very ordinary and mediocre. The restaurant is kind of a dive. Nice people running it, but I found it highly overrated. read more

Came here after visiting Aspen for a few days. Local with some decent ratings so we went with 2 kids and a baby. Kind of loud inside, you get your own coffee and drinks mostly. Anything basic like biscuits and gravy, pancakes or French toast was decent but the huevos ranchers and the Denver omelet weren't very good. Service was ok, the two waitresses seemed a little distant and like they didn't care. When my order came out wrong they rolled their eyes and don't even say anything. Not a warm and great atmosphere to eat in, more just somewhere to get a bite fast. read more

My favorite breakfast place in the valley. I've had several items on their menu. The biscuits and gravy are amazing as well as their omelets. Everything is cooked fresh and you can watch them make it if you sit at the bar. Can't recommend them enough. Better get there early because it's always busy. read more

This place was great. If you sit at the counter, it's breakfast and a show. We had the Denver omelet and a build your own with spinach, mushrooms, onions and avocado. All the veggies were fresh and plentiful. Service was quick and efficient. The decor is basic, but who cares when the food is this good. Can't wait until tomorrow to try something new ! read more

The most amazing breakfast this worldwide traveler has had in a long time. Machacha w/ chorizo - OMG w / crispy hash browns the only way to go ! read more

Easy in and out. Enjoy sitting outside, but they only seat outside after 10am. Odd. I only get the huevos rancheros because they are so frickin good. Christmas style. read more

Incredible. Best breakfast in the valley. Simple yet elegant. Reasonably priced with a nice patio read more

Entered a small mom and pop place. Nothing fancy at all. But food was amazing. We waited 5-10 min to get a table due to Covid restrictions. We ordered with the suggestions the waiter gave us. It was amazing. The food came sooo fast I was surprised and caught of guard. We used their house hot sauce which was good! Portion were bigger than the upscale Aspen restaurants for sure. read more

Love this hole in the wall breakfast joint! The Fried Rice and Chicken (I add Mushrooms on a friends suggestion) is absolutely YUMMY!! The Migos is another family favorite of ours. Service is great and the prices are great based on the amount of food they give you. read more

Just a wonderful joint to stop for a world class omelet!! super nice people and really yummy food :-)

This is a local joint, NOTHING fancy, very straight forward greasy spoon - kinda the last one in the area, and fun to visit for that reason. I sit at the bar and chat w my neighbor, sometimes the cooks. It's all good. read more

Great food and great people. Go to place for brunch. Definitely recommend this place, the migas are the best especially with the home made chipotle salsa. read more

The cook was very friendly. He greeted all regulars while at the stove and paid attention to those sat at the bar. Waitress was smiley and observant. It's your regular diner food, tbh. Price was not bad and service was fast. It looked a little empty inside but I guess it was because we are still in Covid restriction. read more

My gf showed me this place many years ago. My favorite breakfast was their Belgian waffle which looks like it's off the menu now. Too bad because they were very good, made on cast iron waffle irons too if I remember correctly. I haven't been in the area in awhile, but whenever I am this is the place to go read more

The food here is amazing! I've been bringing my family here for a while now and I've never been disappointed. The service is fast and friendly. Indoor/outdoor seating and pick up orders as well. Prices are reasonable for the area. read more

Best breakfast I've had in a long time. Excellent, friendly service. Highly recommend.

The options were intriguing. Many vegetarian options... Mexican breakfast options too. But... cross contamination is pretty gross here. They used the same spatula and tongs for many dishes. Pans were not cleaned between dishes. They handed a can of whip cream to a kid to use for her hot chocolate- no gloves or washing of hands. And then proceed to put it back in the cooler for resturant use. I ended up in the bathroom more than 6 times the next few hours. And I only ate/drank at this place prior to that. Not eating here again. Bummed because the options were cool but the quality was not. read more

What a great find in this little town. It's a small place (maybe 500 SF) with seating around the kitchen - so U shaped bar - with seating for 20 or so. Huge portions and the best Hash Browns I've had in a very long time. Lots of choices for hot sauces and home made chipotle sauce. I had the Denver Omlette and it was awesome - so huge I couldn't finish it and my friends had the huervos rancheros breakfast which they were raving about. Awesome service and definitely recommend stopping in if you are hungry and want a super breakfast. read more
