    Breakfast Burrito
    Amber D.

    What a hidden gem!! I honestly can not say enough positive things about Joy's kitchen. The food was absolutely delicious and the beef was so flavorful and tender. Everything here is made from scratch including the bread (highly recommend the sourdough). [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is plenty of seating indoor and outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The patio is dog friendly too![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe is nice is nice and relaxed with a foosball table.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our server was so sweet and you can tell she's been there for a while. We will definitely be back.

    Clean and warm wood panel interior.

    We stopped for lunch on the way back to Denver and loved this place. Both our meals were excellent and made from scratch. Service was great and welcoming. We will stop here again!

    Omelet, eggs and home made sour dough!

    Food is anything but good, and service is spotty at best. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The only good thing is the ambiance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    We came here for brunch before heading to the hot springs and it was a great stop…read more I got the Main Street Benedict, super yummy! The only thing I didn't like as much was the hashbrowns, they were just okay. I also ordered the jalapeño bread French toast (recommended by our server). I love jalapeño flavor, but I remember thinking it sounded kind of weird for French toast... but I'm glad I tried it because it was so good. They make their breads in-house and I would definitely get that again. I also tried some of my friend's banana bread and that was really delicious too. Didn't get a chance to try these since we had to get to the hot springs soon so thought it's too much food to finish in time, but they had a French toast flight and a Benedict flight, which I've never seen before. Pretty cool, I love anything where you can try multiple flavors. Overall, would reccomend this brunch spot in Idaho Springs. Would come back!

    We finally made our third stop at Main Street Restaurant in Idaho Springs on our drive to Vail, and…read moreit keeps getting better! This visit, we were lucky to have Uchi as our server. She was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. I ordered the Reuben (currently $18.50) with a cup of their green chili soup ($6.00). The Reuben was outstanding--perfectly grilled with a crispy rye, flavorful corned beef, and just the right balance of Swiss, sauerkraut, and dressing. The green chili soup was rich, comforting, and packed with great Colorado flavor. My wife built her own burger and upgraded to the house salad instead of fries. Everything was fresh, cooked exactly as ordered, and delicious. This has become one of our must-stop restaurants whenever we're headed to Vail. Great food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere every time. Highly recommended--we'll definitely be back!

    I had very high expectations for this restaurant coming into it because all of the places I've had…read morein Silverthorne have been amazing; both with food and hospitality. This place missed every single mark. Our food took almost an hour to come out and parts of it was cold. Hubbys pancake was hard (not crispy hard, like heat lamp hard) and one of the items on my plate was a completely cold, unbuttered English muffin. The eggs were cooked wrong (I ordered over medium and they were barely over easy with tons of runny white still and hubby ordered hard scrambled and they were scrambled and runny still), and our waiter stopped in to fill water cups once but did not check in or ask how we were while we were waiting. I'm typically pretty easy going -- I understand mistakes are made sometimes. That is easily redeemable if the service is good; but the service was not. Our server made it seem like we were an inconvenience. 1026 - we got the text our table was ready. We requested a booth (and mentioned we would wait longer got a booth) but got a table. Okay fine, it happens 1038 - we finally had a server ask if we want something to drink. We ordered drinks and it was at least 10 more minutes before they came to take our order. Our order was submitted and it was nearly 45 minutes for the (cold) food to come out. During the wait we were not checked on at all. No one asked us if we were good or needed anything-- or let us know the food was delayed. When the food finally came (again, cold) it was dropped at the table and it was another 15 mins before our server even acknowledged us again. The lady who helped him drop the food was nicer than he was, and asked if we needed anything else; while he couldn't be bothered. We are walking out now at 1140. Our server checked on us a total of 3 times and got rude when his tip was reduced for that. Important to note -- the table behind us had walked in as our food was being served and they got their entire order (6 people) before we left. Different server, so it may not be the entire place, however your servers are a reflection of your company. Unacceptable and we will not be back

    I understand in mountain towns breakfast locations can be busy but this was disappointing on all…read morelevels. We arrive and check in at the host stand with a phone number. We will be notified with a text when our table is ready. We were told 20 minutes. Tell me why it was an hour...still waiting, other groups with the same number of people as our group were seated before us and arrived after us. I went to the host stand to ask if we were up soon? Magically we're next and they pointed to a table that wasn't even clean that was ours. Waited a bit more. Table is clean but no one sat us? Waited about 10 more minutes waiting to be seated and finally we just sat down ourselves. A gentleman did come and apologize for the wait and brought a dessert for us to share. Thank you for the kindness and apology. Thinking this was the only hiccup. Nope. The family orders drinks and food at the same time. We're hungry and ready to go! Our group didn't get one drink until our food came 30 minutes later? Would have been nice to sip on our coffees and beverages while we waited for our food. Then the food came...what a disappointment. It may look lovely to the eyes but nothing was seasoned. It was sub par at best. We had planned to come the next morning while we waited the hour with all the selections we wanted to try. Not happening. I wished so much that the food and drinks were delish. Feels like if you're there since 1977 you can serve bland food and not care because you have legacy.

I guess they changed their business model for a while and weren't full service, but they are back as I remember it. Full service, hot coffee, friendly staff. It's a little out of the way if the resorts, and that's a bonus. A great local feel. I had a simple breakfast, eggs, bacon and one slice of French toast. It was just the right amount to hit the slopes on, and I didn't break the bank. My son had a southwestern style omelet. He said it was good and he didn't leave hungry. It's comfortable and decorated in local flare. There is plenty of parking and apparently live music occasionally. Stop by if you want to avoid the crowds and have a quiet breakfast.

    You earned 1 star over your refusal to correct a menu error. I ordered a Bronco under Cakes section…read morelisted as 15.95. I was charged 16.95 and the shift manager refused to correct it. If the menu is wrong, correct it. When you know something is incorrect and not doing anything, then it is intentional and very likely in violation of CO's Deceptive Pricing Practices Law. Was going from 5 star to 1 and risking legal penalty worth squeezing an extra $1 from me? Solutions: 1) Make little stickers with the correct price and add them to menu. 2) scratch out that menu item that is incorrectly priced 3) instruct servers to inform customers of the menu error when ordering 4) correct the pricing in the system. This prob takes 2 min. You did none of these things and when the error was politely brought to your attention, your manager refused to correct the check. This refusal is the problem. Not so much the error. Dined Fri 7/31 at approx 12:30 pm
