    The Establishment!

    Cute little coffee shop,1st place we visited while staying in Granby for a week. Great outside seating,nice employees and the breakfast was good too. The coffee didn't knock my socks off but it wasn't bad either,I would definitely go back.

    Very cute coffee place in Granby. Reasonable prices for big portion meals - we got a wrap and a burger. The fries are worth the extra $2 - perfectly crispy and warm, delicious. We also got a tea. Beautiful view of the mountain as you eat. Great place to stop for a quick coffee or lunch on the way to Steamboat Springs from Winter Park! The seating area in the back is really nice with games and a cozy couch- this place is huge!

    I went to Java Lava for breakfast and ordered biscuits and gravy, G Skillet and Huevos. The biscuits and gravy lacked flavor, lacked sausage and the biscuit didn't taste homemade. The G Skillet had a little kick and flavor was good. My favorite was the huevos, this had the best flavor and the refried beans tasted great on this breakfast plate. The service was friendly and the atmosphere was what I would expect for a breakfast diner.

    The food, especially the huevos, had incredibly small servings for how expensive it was. It was an order the counter. My chai was far too sweet, especially since it was a spicy chai, and my husband's latte tasted like there was no flavor in it. The food was just okay. It wasn't super bad, but I wouldn't recommend that anybody come here. Limited service since it was an at the counter ordering process, and the ambiance of the place was cute, but not even close to worth the sum of money we spent.

    My fiancé and I were looking for a good spot to have breakfast before heading to sulfur springs, and this place popped us, so we decided to give it a try. Welcoming spot, lots of people and a line, so it's obviously popular, they have a huge space up front as well as a huge space in back, so plenty of spots to sit. Their menu was pretty good, definitely something for everyone. My fiancé got unsweetened iced tea and it had floating gunk, looked like mold. We both got potato based dishes - definitely diner food like a high class Denny's. Personally, wouldn't be back, but it's did the job for quick, greasy breakfast.

    For a small town, we were so pleased to have stopped into Java Lava Cafe. It's easy to see why they are rated so highly. Super colorful interior, friendly down home staff and pretty speedy service. We stopped in on our way back from boarding and enjoyed our meal here. We had breakfast - served all day (until they close at 2 pm) but if you're a lunch person, they also have a lunch menu. He had Huevos and I ordered the G Skillet. Great flavor - no Cholula sauce needed. Love that mine included green chili sauce. Yum. Thanks again, Yelp and fellow Yelpers, to make our morning breakfast stop amazing.

    I have been to Granby 4 times and absolutely love this place. Their coffee selection is amazing. Their full serve breakfast is so satisfying. The grab and go burritos are a home run. Love the fact that locals gather and enjoy good breakfast, atmosphere and conversation. Pretty cool. People serving are amazing. Refreshing in this day and age. Can't wait to make my way back over the pass again.

    This was probably some of the best service i've ever had at a restaurant. We quickly got seated and…read morewe were quickly greeted with our server, Marie. I'm telling you, she was the SWEETEST server. This was our last day of vacation, and she definitely left us on a high note. Our food took about 25 ish minutes. And it was sooooooo good. And my family also said they really liked their food. And to add to that, their dessert was delicious. Also, the temperature in there was perfect. Not too cold, not too hot. Thank you so much!

    Where do I even begin??? First off it says reservations are suggested. Absolutely FALSE! It's not…read morethat good and there were plenty of seats. You could even sit at the bar......if you wanted to get sucked into a conversation with a middle aged man that was drunk, baseball hat bill flipped up like he's 18. Oh yeah and he's recently divorced. How do I know all this???? Because he was louder that SHIT, drunk and seated 40' away from me. None of the staff told him to quiet down, NOPE, just kept serving him mimosas. Know I know why he was divorced. Good for the ex-wife!!! Let's get to our waitress.....Marie. Holy hell! She came over and took our drink order, probably high! We ordered drinks and she forgot about us. It took 20 minutes for us to get our drinks and they were delivered by the busboy. She came back 10 minutes after we got our drinks and said....."where did we leave off?" Are you FU@KING KIDDING ME???? Once we reminded the stoner that all we have is drinks and we were ready to order she pulled out her digital ordering pad. First thing we ordered they were out of. Great, she even recommended it? I'm thinking to myself, how the hell did we land the female Spicoli as our waitress??? Shit! Whatever we order, she ain't getting it right. Meanwhile the two tables around us are verbally getting pissed about Stoner Marie's lack of memory. Let's just say the food was ok, service was HORRIBLE. Don't waste your time. Not work the money!!!!!!

We got seated in a nice quiet area around 7pm on a Sat; I just wanted to try the world famous Green Chile and Rocky Mountain Oysters which did not disappoint!! Ask for extra sour cream if the green chile is spicy but I thought it was amazing as it is! Rocky Mountain Oysters were deliciously creamy and crispy. Loved that Mavericks has rotating local draft beers so definitely ask for what they have on tap. Athena was really attentive and gave us great suggestions for us to explore Rocky Mountain National Park, Granby and other sight seeing highlights. We topped off the night with her favorite dessert recomemdation; bourbon pecan pie with ice cream!! Absolutely delicious!! Thank you Athena, Mavericks and Granby for making our first day in CO such a wonderful and memorable time! Love the cozy environment, decor and very easy parking.

From sit down to orders being brought out was over an hour. And in that time our order of chicken wings came out but they were ice cold. Imagine waiting an hour for food to be served cold.

Fantastic service (Josh is the greatest), fantastic food, and fantastic drinks, you're going to struggle to have a bad time here. BONUS: They have a walk up window outside for drinks and food during the day! Everything on the menu is fantastic and little vacation within itself. It gets crazy busy, but they move the menu quickly and it won't be long before you are sitting down. For the win: Grab a Colorado Bulldog or Craft Beer to start. Hot Choccy for the kids. First bites are the Elk Chili or the Buffalo Wings, the biggest and meatiest wings you will ever see. For dinner, try the Short Rib Ragout or the Prime Dip. For dessert, the Crème Broulee is a can't miss'

    Woo, okay this is going to be a long one…read more... Bluebird bistro was a rollercoaster ride, starting with a frustrating welcome. We called ahead to see if they could accommodate our group of (14). The "helpful" person on the phone offered two options: 1. We could be seated separately at different tables right away OR 2. Wait about an hour for one large table. We decided to go with option 1. Arrived at the restaurant just 5 mins later (we were literally already down the road), only for that exact person to tell us when arriving a completely different story. She claimed that we didn't call her back to let her know we were on our way... ? .... Therefore she had no wait time for us and didn't know how long it'll be.. uh? Ok? We were all confused, and frustrated. As we talked amongst ourselves in the waiting area, we decided we were going to take our business elsewhere..... well what do you know suddenly a table was ready for us. At this point, it was getting late, chilly and hangry. We decided to stay and give it a try. And honestly I'm happy we did because we were blessed with a waitress named Kendra, who was phenomenal! Kendra transformed our experience, her service was top-notch. When a few people in our group were not happy with their drinks/orders, she quickly took the items off the check and brought out replacements. I had ordered the elote nachos, and they arrived without queso, instead of just bringing a side of cheese, Kendra took the entire plate back and returned with a fresh, hot order made correctly. Let's talk FOOD: Honestly it was mostly a hit. My margarita pizza was delicious. the ingredients tasted incredibly fresh, and the balsamic drizzle was a perfect touch. The others in our group were happy with their pizzas, wings, burgers, and steaks. Even the kids seemed pretty happy with their basic chicken fingers and fries( lol ) .... I was told the only miss were the fish tacos, which were on the dry side, and my elote nachos. While the nachos were good, they didn't have much of the classic "elote" I was hoping for like the crumbles of cheese, sauce etc... Overall, it was a decent spot, and thanks to Kendra, our meal/experience was really SAVED. I took off stars because again while the food was generally good, the confusing and unwelcoming check-in process was a major let down.
