Stopped for breakfast before a hike. I ordered an omelette with havarti, roasted tomato and kale. Got the GF toast and a side of white cheddar grits. My husband got the lemon ricotta blueberry pancakes and a side of bacon. The food was delicious and our waitress kept the coffee coming. Definitely one of the best breakfasts I've ever had! read more

My new breakfast place when I come down to the Ouray/Ridgway area! Excellent food with vegetarian choices and wonderful, friendly wait staff. The place was crowded, but they get people in and out and our wait was minimal even though there were tons of people outside when we arrived. Everything is wonderful and made from scratch. Will definitely be back. read more

Ugh. So we visited Kate's twice on a recent visit to the Ridgway area. The first visit was very nice. I give it a 3.5-4 on the scale. Food was good. Nothing out of the ordinary for breakfast but extremely expensive for what it was. There's where the stars get deducted. A meal for three cost us roughly $60 with tip. On the second visit, it was the WORST service I've ever had in my life. We were seated promptly and then sat and waited for about 10 minutes (maybe more) before anyone came to see us. Same waitress as the day before (brunette pregnant gal). Didn't greet us. Just asked what we wanted very abruptly and left. Came back with half-filled waters. We got our food quickly (stay away from the breakfast "sandwich." It's basically an omelet on sourdough and you can't eat it like a sandwich). We ate... No one ever came back to refill drinks or ask how the food was. We clearly pissed off this waitress somehow. I don't know, maybe she didn't like her tip the day before. That's all we could think of. When she did come back, she placed the check on our table and immediately walked away. I finally got her attention and asked if I could get more coffee. She walked away clearly annoyed and came back to refill. So I asked her if she was doing okay. She said "yeah, I remember you guys from yesterday." So I continued and told her how we hadn't been checked on or served very well and was wondering if there was anything wrong. She immediately turned her back and walked away. Okay lady. Kate - I would recommend firing this woman or talking to her about putting her own personal bullshit aside when waiting on people. I would never come back here and would never recommend this place to anyone else. Go across the street. read more

I had the eggs and hash with dry rye toast. The toast came long after I was done eating (it was cold) and when I asked for a coffee refill, I got a quarter cup of cold coffee. On a positive note, the hash was good. read more

just had the weirdest interaction ever here, left me feeling genuinely confused because they were so aggressively rude for absolutely no reason. we walked up at 10:30am on a saturday morning and the patio was full. the website says they're open until 2pm. the sign on their door says they're open until 2pm. they have what look like multiple guest entrances (not weird back entrances that are clearly only intended for employee use). we try the front door and when it's locked my parents walk the 5 feet to go around the open side just to check before we walk away. the second my mother even sticks her head in the door a server is immediately yelling at her that they're closed. i've worked in the service industry for seven years. i'll admit i've even gotten frustrated with customers for ignoring signs and pulling on locked doors. but there was absolutely no way we could have known they were closed almost 4 hours early on a weekend morning. i also don't usually write reviews, but it genuinely upset me how rude they were to my parents. it's just unnecessary. we didn't get to try their food so obviously i can't comment on that. maybe it's fantastic. but i can't see how it could be worth risking that kind of treatment. do better. or (if you really harbor that much resentment for any customer who dares to darken your doorstep without being able to read your mind) do something else. read more

Great place. If only the potatoes weren't cooked several hours before being served. Omelet was tremendous - fresh mushrooms and great bacon. They never asked how the meal was once food delivered, but I guess they could observe that? Wait for a seat was longer than they implied when I arrived. Interesting menu options. read more

On our drive from Ouray to Breckenridge we stopped for breakfast at Kate's. The food was excellent from omelettes to skillet breakfast with plenty of vegetables and sides to please all of us. The white cheddar cheese grits were delicious! read more

Please come to Denver! We love this place! Best food and an awesome staff. Been coming here for years, and Kate does not disappoint.

If you are passing through or visiting Ridgway, Kate's Place is the local beloved breakfast spot. They have a delicious menu of omelettes, pancakes and other delectable morning noms. We enjoyed the food so much we visited twice during our stay. Friendly service, good food- what more can you ask for?! read more

I had a great breakfast at Kate's Place. I had the homemade corn beef hash, the herbs they use gave it a great flavor. Good coffee and friendly service as well. read more

Great place for brunch. Left nothing on my plate when I was done. Had the corned beef hash. It was tasty without being salty.

Kate's Place is a wonderful little spot serving breakfast all day as well as sandwiches during lunch. The resturant is very clean and lively. We ordered tomato parmesean soup with a veggie panini and the roast beef au jus. I got a turkey panini on accident but it was fine! I thoroughly enjoyed my meal, but my friend said the sandwich bread could have been softer. All in all, Kate's Place is a great stop for a healthy breakfast or lunch. read more

Ever since I moved away from Durango, I've been yearning for Kate's. I miss their delicious and HUGE breakfasts, their cozy vibe, their mismatched coffee mugs, and their amazing service. I can't even count how many times E and I came to Kate's while living in Durango. Our first visit happened after a day spent counting pika on Owl Creek Pass as citizen scientists, and by the time we got back into town we were famished. Kate's welcomed us with open arms and we chowed down on lemon-ricotta pancakes and a Monte Cristo sandwich. Over the following years, Kate's became our go-to, and one of those places we would go out of our way to hit in time for breakfast or brunch, and so far the void has not been filled by any Denver restaurants we've been to recently. If you are looking for a fantastic local breakfast, with huge plates and delicious specials, this is the place to go in Ridgeway...heck, make the drive from Montrose or Ouray if you want the best breakfast around. These plates will leave you stuffed and satisfied. Our favorites include the lemon ricotta pancakes, their biscuits and gravy, and the corned beef hash. Everything is so fresh and delicious.Best breakfast place on the Western Slope, hands down! read more

Excellent breakfast stop! Ole' omelette was a very tasty choice, served with small bowls of salsa and sour cream which go well with the chorizo, green chilies and Monterey Jack cheese inside. I desired to cheat on my diet and chose the home fries along with sourdough toast, no regrets. My wife enjoyed the Sneffles skillet with roasted tomatoes along with spinach,crispy home fried potatoes cheese and topped with scrambled eggs and sourdough toast. The coffee had a hint of chicory it was just right not overwhelming. Enjoyed the decor with beautiful photos offered for sale, and I would love to.buy some if not most of them. read more

It's been almost three years now but I still tell everyone about the best Eggs Benedict I've ever had. We were on a small vacation in Ouray and we discovered Kate's one morning. We came back every morning for the rest of our stay. The last morning they had eggs Benedict on special. I swear that was one of the most memorable meals I've ever had. I have traveled all over the world and I keep a top five meals list in my head. That eggs Benedict is on that list. One day I'll come back... read more

Stopped here for breakfast after Ouray didn't have much to offer. It turned out to be a good choice for the most part. My wife and son got the pancakes which were delicious. I was a bit disappointed in the biscuits and gravy as the biscuits were hard and the gravy cold. Overall good service and prices fair for what I expect. I'd come back for sure and try something else. read more

This place has the best breakfast and a great atmosphere. We sat outside and it was so inviting and relaxing. There was a sign that they were short staffed but every place is. The staff they had was very nice and efficient. They took our order in a timely manner and the food didn't take that long to come out. The outside seating area was so relaxing that I didn't mind waiting for my food. I can't wait to go back! read more

Yummy! Stopped for breakfast on a snowy day... service was great and food was delicious. Decor was warm and inviting. Highly recommend!

Stopped here on our way out if telluride. Solid good had both a big breakfast and lemon ricotta pancakes. Patio very large, shaded,spacious with pretty Mountain View's on one side. Coffee not great but the food was delicious. read more

We love swinging by here on our way through Ridgway. Delicious, hearty meals. If the weather is nice sit in the little courtyard on the side for a wonderful way to start the day. read more

Adorable brunch location we hit up on our way out of Telluride. Ample outside seating complements the cozy indoor space. We got in just before the Sunday brunch line formed. Service was a bit back-logged, but we enjoyed some fresh squeezed lemonade and fist fully of hot coffee while we waited. The dishes? A massive breakfast sandwich for my friend on perfectly buttered and grilled toast, eggs, bacon, yummy. I had the Chorizo burrito. It came with crispy country potatoes and had the nice balance of salty chorizo with eggs and sauce (and a wedge of avocado, my favorite). Bathrooms are out back, which makes me glad I came during the summer months. Cute place in a cute town tucked into some of the most beautiful mountains in the world. Come for the breakfast, stay for the views!! read more

Just a wonderful breakfast. Cheerful friendly service and good quality food made with quality local and organic ingredients. Always makes me feel good. As a matter of fact I'm headed over to Kate's right now read more

If Kate's Place were in Denver, I'd be in heaven. This place is almost worth the drive to Ridgway just to eat there - and that's a little over 5 hours. First of all, the decor is so charming. All the tables have mismatched painted chairs in bright colors like red, green and blue. Then there are all kinds of old signs and brick-a-brack decorating the airy room with lots of open windows. And a great outside eating area. Of course the staff are super friendly and extremely efficient. We're talking small town, successful restaurant friendly and efficient. You know, where you feel like a regular even when it's your first time there? But, the thing that won my heart over completely was the food. We had breakfast and although it's a hard meal to mess up, it's an equally hard meal to impress with. Kate's Place did nothing but impress me. And all of their food comes from local farmers which is a big plus. If you're ever driving through I suggest stopping for breakfast or lunch. Or if you even looking for a short getaway Ridgway could be a nice place to consider. read more

It seemed like every table in here were locals and all of them were gushing about how great the food was.. Our waitress said "if you don't like the food, he will pay for it" and pointed at the table next to us ...which drew some laughter and more positive reviews. This place was packed and the service was excellent. Most of the food is from local farmers...excellent place to eat The locals told us come in July on Thursday nights to ridgeway for free concerts in the park read more

Excellent omelette. I got the ole (green chile and chorizo). White cheddar grits were delicious. Excellent coffee. I went with a friend. I don't think my friend tipped enough. Maybe 10-15%. I think 20-25% was appropriate but I didn't pay the bill. After my friend paid/tipped, the waitress ignored our table and never gave me refills on coffee. When I politely tried to ask her for coffee when she was near, she ignored and moved on. She was a totally different person. Would have been 5 star review but the "post-payment" service was blatantly rude and makes me uncomfortable. read more

This place is a rockstar!! Why oh why can't we have this in Denver???? Let me say the place itself is comfortable, cute, charming even though it was bustling with lots of people eating. The service was a breath of fresh air. Our waitress was awesome with our daughter and was there when you needed something and gone when you didn't. The food was fresh and cooked beautifully. I had a fluffy veggie omelet with avocado. They brought out Lola's juice and water in a sippy cup. Why no other restaurants are doing this is beyond me. It's eco friendly and adds such a super touch of special care. So sad this is a six hour drive for breakfast. Road trip anyone? read more

If Jesus made breakfast in the scenic mountains, it would taste (and look, and smell) like this! The prices were so cheap that I felt like I was robbing the place...it hardly seemed fair! Thank you for a memorable experience in a tiny little cheerful place! read more

I can't speak highly of this place's breakfast enough. On our way back to Grand Junction from Telluride after almost a week of skiing, we didn't expect good breakfast options to be plentiful passing through so many "one horse towns" (no offense intended!). Of course I booted up Yelp and immediately was shocked with the reviews for Kate's Place. I've never said no to a 5-star establishment and this was no exception. The place is on a dirt road and looks very unassuming from the outside, however the inside is brightly decorated with vibrant colors and is very welcoming. The menu has some amazing options... I got the huevos rancheros and the people I was with got the skillet and the chorizo burrito respectively. I got to try a bit of everything and it was honestly some of the best breakfast food I've ever eaten. Service was super friendly and made us feel right at home. Would give 6 stars if I could. Don't miss this place! read more

I was staying in Ouray and I stopped here for breakfast on my way to doing some Fly Fishing. The breakfast sandwich was awesome, and the home fries were delicious as well. Nice people and good service. read more

We stopped here this morning due to all of the 5 star reviews. I couldn't see how a restaurant in such a small town could garner such high praise. Now I Know. Tammy had the waffle she deemed the best ever. I couldn't decide between the biscuits and gravy or the house special lemon ricotta blueberry pancakes. So I got both. The pancakes are like nothing I have ever had before (in a good way). Not too sweet but with the perfect hint of lemon combined with the ricotta and blueberries none of the individual ingredients overpowered the others. Perfect harmony. Lastly the biscuits and gravy. I have been in search of the perfect order of this breakfast item since childhood. These came really close to being my all time favorite. The biscuit was baked to perfection and had a great consistency. The gravy actually seemed to have been created to order. Huge amounts of homemade sausage and a touch of spice to give it a great kick left me feeling grateful for my decision to order both. I am typically not one who likes to follow the crowd but I must admit that if there us ever a group of people who would like to carpool from Denver to Ridgway for breakfast I'm in. After all if we leave by 1 a.m. we can be there by 7:30. read more

Small quaint little place where the locals go for breakfast. Service was good. Food was good but definitely not 5 stars. They screwed up a few things. But still was a great experience. read more

Besides my grandma ratings I also give a "hungover weirdo friend friendly" rating and this place totally is. Ridgeway is so cool and this place is so good. Staff is super nice and accomadating (try getting there before church gets out on Sunday mornings) and the food was spot on. read more

We came here for breakfast. I ordered eggs scrambled soft as well as my bacon, with a side of sausage gravy. My wife ordered over easy eggs. Apart from the fact the neither of our eggs came out the way they were ordered. Hers were over very hard and the same goes for my scrambled. The bacon on the other hand is precooked to the crispy side and the cook refused to make a fresh order. Hmm I detect prima Donna syndrome here. The sausage gravy would have been great if it wasn't overly seasoned with garlic. At least they use ground breakfast sausage in the gravy. Hence the 1 star review. Obviously their customers are of the take it the way we make it; not the way you order it. Don't think we'll be back here again. I suggest finding a different place for breakfast. read more

As many know I try blueberry pancakes everywhere I go. The blueberry pancakes here rival the best I have ever had. Also, the Sneffle Skillet and Lemon Ricotta pancakes were excellent. Service was also very good and friendly. I would drive out of my way to go here. Don't miss it! read more

I really don't understand the great reviews for this place. Ate here two days in a row this weekend. We went there the first day because they were the highest rated breakfast restaurant in the Ridgway area on yelp. Didn't like that meal and went a second day just to see if maybe I was mistaken. Sadly, I wasn't. While the service is generally good they don't operate too well as a team to ensure that the meals are brought out to tables hot. The ingredients in my omelette were not mixed in with the eggs but maybe that's how some restaurants do it. The home fries were terrible as I couldn't eat half of them because they were overcooked and hard as a rock. On the second visit I ordered the Corned beef hash on the recommendation of our waitress. What a disappointment. A very tiny serving (a flat portion covering about 1/3 of the plate that we're mostly vegetables with very little corned beef and Again, I couldn't eat half of the home fries because they were overcooked and hard as a rock. I will say that my wife enjoyed her French toast. However we will not go back to this place I hope we can find somewhere else in Ridgway next time we drive through. Cue little restaurant but most in Ridgway are. read more
