    Eggs Benedict
    Jennifer Y.

    The Happy Cooker restaurant was a short walk from the Georgetown Mountain Inn which gave us time to stroller through this quaint town. I got eggs Benedict with home fries and I can truly say it felt 100% like your mom made it. Definitely would get again. We got there right when it opened at 8 am. So our service was quick. So just remember if your up early for breakfast like we are nothing in this town we have opens before 8 am or has dinner after 8 pm.

    I had a wonderful breakfast at the happy cooker. There is a beautiful outdoor yard with tables as well as a decent size indoor area. The staff, whether young adults or older waitstaff were accommodating and helpful. The food came out quickly and was quite tasty.

    Happy Cooker is a cute little spot and the service was friendly. The location in the mountains is idyllic. The menu leans more towards breakfast items, so perhaps thats the way to go. I popped in here for lunch and ordered the Vegetarian Chili. It was very average and bland. I was expecting a bit more of a punch. I had read reviews about their homemade bread being delicious, so I was happy to see the Chili came with a slice of that bread. Once again, I was left a bit underwhelmed. Perhaps, my expectations were set high due to to some of the positive reviews.

    Great local diner in Georgetown. They open at 8am when other restaurants open later. I came up headed to Breckenridge for the day and decided breakfast was needed. Homey atmosphere with 17 tables inside and 7 tables outside with crank up fabric umbrellas. The menu has standard breakfast & lunch items, each no more than $15. Some locals, others like me from Denver and I overheard 2 other conversations from other languages. I started with a champagne mimosa with equal amounts of champagne and OJ. Very nice for $6. I decidedly to spurge and got their cinnamon roll for $10. Lots of cinnamon and drizzled with frosting. There was more frosting on the plate than on top, so a better appearance. I also got a full order of house-made French bread French toast with a side of crunchy bacon. Decadent yes! I was served by Richelle. She was stressed covering the inside tables (13 of 17) were occupied by herself. Their 2nd server was coming in at 9am. She was a trooper, still smiling. I tipped her 25%.

    During the week, this is one of the only spots open in town so we decided to give it a shot. The cleanliness of the restaurant made me feel some type of the way. Don't look up at the fans whatever you do. There was only one person working and he was incredibly kind and doing his best for sure. The bagel sandwich was dry but nothing a little bit of Mayo couldn't fix. The potato's were pretty good. The coffee was self service and it's just your typical folgers style cup.

    Pork green chili and homemade jalapeño bread

    Have eaten here a number of times but never written a review. We drove over Guanella Pass today and stopped here for lunch before doing some shopping in Georgetown. Darek warned us that he was the only server and he seemed a little frazzled. Nevertheless he gave us great service and the food was up to the usual standard. I had the pork green chili with homemade jalapeño bread. It was delicious. We gave Darek a good tip. They've been here since '74 (50 years). They must be doing something right!

    Cute little lunch spot to stop by during a long scenic Colorado drive or after a nice hike. The best part about Happy Cooker was their homemade bread-- thick, crusty, buttery slices of hearty goodness. 5/5 bread. You can't go wrong with any of the flavors-- I personally loved the roasted tomato basil bread the best, and thoroughly enjoyed it with vegetarian chili. Simple yet satisfying! My friend's tomato basil soup was lukewarm and tasted more like pink vodka pasta sauce rather than a nice tomato soup. However her jalapeño bread was delicious and saved the "soup". I cannot speak in detail on the burrito my friend ordered, but he rated it a 5/10. I think their loaves are only $8. If I were able, I would return to buy some loaves! Not much else though.

    Berry salad was amazing
    Cynthia M.

    Quaint, charming place with lovingly prepared food. My salad included strawberries, pecans, and blue cheese with a delicious balsamic vinaigrette and a huge thick slice of country-style homemade white bread with tangy red peppers baked in! They are famous for this bread, deservedly! From what I understand, it's different each day. My friend had a basic breakast,, and hubby had a French Dip. Staff is amazing, atmosphere is antique, and they let you know your table is ready by text. This is a unique, homey place. Outdoor seating in warm weather.

    Stopped in for breakfast before walking around the lake in Georgetown. The only place open early on a Wednesday..food was decent, staff was friendly. Coffee left more to be desired though. Restaurant could definitely be cleaned better, don't look up at the dust collecting on the ceiling fans.

    As plain and bland as it looks.

    Unfortunately for me, (I was yearning for a simple good breakfast) I ordered the eggs, sausage, "biscuits" & gravy. The breakfast plate looked just like the picture posted by another reviewer, and it tasted even plain as it looked. (I copied and posted that pic. It's very accurate) The eggs, maybe medium sized, could have been cooked in a non-stick skillet with spray oil. The sausages were seriously lacking in flavor and seemingly had been cooked for quite some time. The "gravy" had little flavor. The "biscuits" were NOT BISCUITS. It was just one plain WHITE BREAD, square dinner roll (think Wonder Bread. Like those that come in the 12 pack plastic bags in the grocery store. The breakfast could have passed for "bland diet" in a hospital. The restaurant seems to be an old house that was converted years ago. Little effort was put into it. CAUTION should be used when going to the restrooms. There's a warning sign about the step down into the narrow hallway. There's no actual step. The floor just slopes down and you figure that out when you expect your foot to be landing on the floor and it doesn't. I gave two stars only because my three guests were satisfied with their meals.
