KATES PLACE Mom and I were staying a night in Ridgeway and before going over to Ouray, decided to fuel up before heading over there and picked this breakfast place! Menu was not too big nor too small and we were able to quickly order with the staff who were quick with service! Mom and I both got the Corned Beef Hash and I got a cup of their soup of the day : Loaded Potato. FOOD The Corned beef hash were not like what I had before and looked pretty different (This is basically my go to breakfast dish at any place hehe) It was very hearty and had nice actual chunks of beef and potatos. The dish were not greasy at all. Not to mention the eggs were cooked perfectly to my liking "over easy" and the toasts were so delicious. Nicely buttered and were also to my liking in terms of how toasty/buttery it was!! Mom had a hard scrambled egg which were seasoned to perfection as well with white toast which were golden brown!! But the real star of the show was the their soup of the day! My looorrrr where do I even begin. Lets just say this soup better become their soup of the century. Chefs did an amazing job and this soup was really delicious and totally my type hehe. If you ever stop by and this is their soup of the day, def order it!!! Small place with the two nice ladies who served/hosted us, but were fast and friendly as the place started picking up more customers. And good cooks who serve you hearty and delicious meals. Almost felt like I was eating breakfast at a nice aunties place. Atmosphere felt very homey with colorful, but not overwhelming decorations and everything you would need at your table for functionality. FIVE STARS + WILL BE COMING BACK IF EVER BACK IN TOWN read more

I came into Kate's Place looking for breakfast. As I was about to spend the entire day skiing, I was hoping for a very hearty meal, and the chorizo burrito seemed to fit the bill. Unfortunately, the burrito fell short of my expectations. Despite paying an egg surcharge, there was hardly any eggs in my burrito. Not only did this subtract from the nutritional value of my meal, but it also meant there was nothing to counter-balance the flavors of the burrito. Beyond the disappointing burrito, though, the grits were actually quite good. read more

Cozy atmosphere, attentive, fast, friendly service. They do offer to-go. I'm gluten free and loved that host, server and kitchen staff all were celiac aware. Delicious sides like home fries are GF. GF toast available. No GF waffles or pancakes but the breakfast skillet was hearty and so good. Others I was with had non-gluten free items and enjoyed them too. read more

This is a place I'll go back to over and over again. Just FEELS good to be in the space, for one. Great ambiance. Bright, cheerful, wonderful art on the walls. Super friendly staff. And then the food.... Delicious!! I had the Egg in a Nest and my husband had the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes. So, so, so good! Everything just tasted so fresh and flavorful. YUMMY! read more

Really excellent breakfast. My husband had the biscuits and gravy and I had the avocado toast with cheesy grits. Everything was delicious and well made--we'll be back! read more

We stopped for breakfast one morning here while visiting Ouray. They have plenty indoor and outdoor seating. Our server was prompt and we were seated immediately. We got the waffle with berries as they were out of blue berry pancakes and the red mountain skillet both of them were delicious! Highly recommended. read more

Great spot right downtown. Lots of options on the menu if you want a hearty breakfast before a day of exploring or skiing. Friendly, welcoming staff and a clean inside. read more

The staff here was very lovely. It's got that small town cafe vibe. God bless small towns, the backbone of our grand country. However I was charged $6 for the 'thick' cut bacon. There's nothing thick about this bacon. Trust me, I know thicc. And my nesquik chocolate milk was $4. That's my only complaint. Blessings. read more

We didn't feel like cooking as we were getting ready to head home. Headed to KATE'S place for an early breakfast. Pretty much only thing open this early. Wife had the omelet & I had biscuits and gravy with scrambled eggs on top. We were not really impressed with the quality of the food. Very plain , but eatable. Staff were friendly enough, but we will pass on eating here again. Maybe this was just an off day for cook, read more

Food great. You can have great food and poor service kills the experience. These ladies were wonderful. I will definitely be back.

We've been to Kate's Place a number of times and were really looking forward to having breakfast there again. Unfortunately, it just wasn't the same and we were so disappointed. I filled two napkins full of grease from the eggs and bacon. I've honestly never seen that much butter/grease on a breakfast. Even the biscuit was absolutely soaked in butter. I'm not sure what kind of grits they use but they definitely weren't traditional southern grits. The texture was more like oatmeal. And the potatoes and carrots in the corned beef hash were dry and undercooked - there was very little hash. $50 with tip for a very mediocre experience - though our waitress was good. Unfortunately, we will be trying some place else next time read more

25% tip added for parties of 7 or more! That is ridiculous for sub par service. I am not even sure it mentions it on the menu. I almost asked for it to be removed. Especially when the server was short and not very welcoming. Half of our food was not very good either. read more

We stopped in on a trip through and the food is incredible. We will stop in anytime we are here! I forgot to get pictures before we ate half! So the pictures are mostly half the portion. read more

We stopped here on our way north to Fort Collins. We sat outside and although it was a busy Sunday morning, the staff was efficient without making you feel rushed. My companion had the Sneffles skillet- I don't know who Sneffles is or what they did to get a skillet names after them, but it looked, smelled and tasted delicious. I have been on a biscuits and gravy kick lately - I have learned from past errors though so if at all possible (which it was) I get a half order. That was what I did here at Kate's and it was very tasty indeed. Not sure when I will be rolling through Ridgeway again, but would definitely stop here again! read more

Amazing food! Had to come back a second time! Do yourself a favor and get the ricotta pancakes! Small staff working their butts off, be patient it's worth it! read more

well the minute we sat down there seemed to be something different. The jam was generic little packets. The skillet breakfast tasted very different made with obvious frozen veggie. The ricotta lemon pancakes had no powdered sugar. I guess there comes a time when all good things come to an end. so long Kate's Place you were great while it lasted. read more

Beautiful quiet little outdoor patio. Perfect for taking our dog with us to breakfast. Close to shops and park.

Ordered biscuits and gravy. We've eaten biscuits and gravy all over the USA. My husband's words after eating Katy's. "Those are the best biscuits and gravy I've had in my whole life." He's 69. No more needs to be said! read more

Ordered corned beef hash and what I got was a plate of potatoes with miniscule pieces of corn beef. TERRIBLE! Wife's salad was bad also.

Went back and it was perfect. The staff was great and we will be back ! The ambiance was quite bustling and the food was delicious!

Such a cute little cafe. My husband and I stopped here on our way to the airport and had a great breakfast. The chorizo burrito was so good but I couldn't eat it all because it was so much food. The home fries are pretty good too! read more

Overpriced lousy breakfast!! Won't ever eat there again.Cioffee was hot water with a hint of coffee taste!!

Everything I've tried has been fantastic! Huge portions and the staff is always friendly.

Great local spot for breakfast. Fresh food delivered quickly. Service was fast and friendly, but not rushed. It's a small place so be prepared to wait for a table. It's worth the wait! read more

A nice place for breakfast. The place has a slow approach so getting my order taken took a while. The server was friendly and helpful. I ordered a custom omelet and it was perfectly cooked. The fruit was good except the cantaloupe was not ripe. I have had better English muffins but not bad. read more

A hidden gem when driving through this small town. Everything was amazing from the omelettes, to home fries, to biscuits and gravy. Pancakes were light and fluffy with a great edge and great service. Cute vibe with local photography and clean wooden decor. Highly recommend. read more

Stopped in for lunch during the fall color road trip. My wife and I were very pleased with our food and the staff was very nice. I had the special omelet with peppers and cheese. It was fabulous. My wife had the salad and sandwich. She said it was the best she had ever had and she couldn't finish it all. Large portions. This is a great place to enjoy time and a meal. The ambiance was like a like diner almost home like. You won't be disappointed. read more

This is the second time we've stopped at Kates for breakfast as we were coming through town and I love this place. The breakfast is so good. I get the Sneffels Skillet. The toast they serve tastes like it's homemade and they have jellies on the table that also taste like they are made local. They have a nice outdoor patio area with some shade and the area is nice with little shops etc. read more

Stopped here on a Sunday morning around 9:30 and got a table right away. Server was super nice. We had the corned beef hash and huevos rancheros. Both were really tasty, the corn beef was not too salty (like most places) and had good texture to it (crispy on the outside) and the coffee was strongggg and good!! Cute inside - very eclectic and homey feel. Prices were very normal for this area, actually even cheaper than some breakfast places in Montrose. Would recommend. read more

Sunday in October, 11am-ish. Let's start with the food - it was mediocre and disappointing given the cafe's reputation. Typical breakfast fare: eggs over medium (too jiggly and undercooked); hash browns, crispy throughout - what happens when you fry them more than once; link sausage, same problem - over heated or kept in a warming tray; toast, warm and crispy-dry but not toasted. I'm thinking that the cook was either in over his/her head or just not watching the ingredients. Prompt and attentive service, decent coffee, and cute little interior with good photo artwork. Worth $15? Nope. Go to Ouray or the other cafe down the street. read more

The server with the facial piercings not only swore at me but also thought she had the right to tell me what do with my dog. I will not go to that restaurant anymore as long as she works there, extremely rude and unprofessional. read more

We left out of Ouray with the intent of finding a good breakfast place in Ridgeway. We found Kate's on Yelp and decided to give it a try. We both had pretty standard breakfast fare (eggs, bacon, toast, hashbrowns...). They were SLAMMED but the waitstaff did a reasonable job of keeping up and getting food out while keeping our coffee refilled. The food was very good and prepared the way we asked (eggs as ordered and hashbrowns crispy!). I recommend but you may catch a wait on weekends as they seem popular with the locals and Yelp brings in the travelers.... read more
