Burned and undercooked "hashbrowns" .

Poached canned salmon and undercooked burnt hashbrowns. Reba was the inattentive server who didn't seem to care about a single top. Never asked how the food was, no drink refill offers, instead the table beside me got 7 mins of local gossip that I really didn't want to know about. I get Chad cheated on his wife, but there's a reason he's a chad and I'm eating at McGill something. First and last time at this establishment. Maybe if you are local and a foreigner they will provide stellar service. This was just horrible. Oh yeah. Make sure you ask for your check. Waited another 20 mins on that. Just walk up to the register and it will make them pay attention if they forgot you. The students behind the bar should help Reba out more if she can't handle a one top.

This place is so cute and definitely seems like the best traditional style breakfast in the area. We came on a Saturday around brunch time, we were told it would be a 20 minute wait for the four of us, but we ended up being sat within 10. We got a great seat right by the window, at the front, which was nice because the restaurant is pretty hot. The service was fast and great, I tried the English muffin breakfast sandwich, which was so tiny for $11, even smaller than my fist. I also tried the French toast because it sounded so unique and interesting, so I got a side of it, it was Really good. - more like a fried roll with crunchy crust then your traditional slice of French toast but it was really good and the syrup was so yummy. My friend got an order of french fries and they were unexpectedly delicious and good quality, we also really liked the bloody Mary we got (although we wish it had come with bacon) My other friend really liked his margarita salad, we loved that it came with a salt rim on the bowl too! Totally would come back my next time in crested Butte !

Breakfast burrito

The food here is just what you want on a hungover morning. it is delicious and there are lots of options. bloody mary is a 7/10 we wanted just a bit more spice - olives were great though

Wonderful late breakfast! Friendly staff! Amazing biscuit! $4.50 for a cup of drip a little outrageous even with free refills...

CABS sandwich, green chili soup, fries

Food was delicious! They are known for breakfast but don't sleep on the lunch. CABS sandwich (Chipotle mayo, avocado, bacon & spinach on sourdough) was legit. Had a cup of the spicy green chili and had great flavor. Cowboy chocolate chip cookie was amazing as well. Don't think you can go wrong here. Service was friendly.

Makes sense why this place was packed, besides it being a breakfast joint during a major holiday, the food was exceptional, both mine and my partner's meals were delicious and cooked almost perfectly. Friday stay as well. We could use more cute places like this in Boulder!

The ambiance gets a 5 star, because of the interior Diner like decor & friendly/professional staff. I was satisfied with the welcome I received, considering we are a minority family & "received many stares by many tourists." Perhaps, brown people are not the usual tourists able to afford establishments in Crestted Butte? Anyway, I got that off my chest & getting back to the review. The quality of ingredients can be improved, lees grease & fat. More flavor, lacking simple salt & pepper. Portions were well balanced & quantity served was perfect. Would I return, well the food I found too bland in my opinion so perhaps not. But again, I'm used to quality while living here in Las Vegas, where the hospitality industry excells on many levels.

Crispy French Toast
Brad H.

Came in for breakfast before the 24th annual Mt. Created Butte Chili and Beerfest, we needed a good base of some great food and found the spot! The French toast was unique and amazing, super crispy and the standard Benedict was perfect. Thank you for an awesome meal and quick service!

Breakfast burrito

About a 5 min wait on a Saturday morning during Spring Break. Not bad. You can tell they get busy though. Breakfast burritos with green chilli was awesome.

We always like to stop by Paradise Cafe when in town. There's often a wait, but never too long of…read moreone (also, worth it). Staff is super kind and attentive. Great with kiddos. Inside can get pretty packed, but they always find a good table for us and our toddler where we are out of the way. We haven't eaten outside yet, but the patio looks lovely. Drinks are standard - good coffee and chai with lots of syrups. Food is hearty and a great selection. We always go with the specials and while a bit pricey, worth it. Their standard fare doesn't seem mind-blowing and I don't love that they charge extra for true maple syrup, but that's the only deduction I've run up against.

CELIAC NIGHTMARE…read more Nellie was our server. I told her from the get go that I had celiac and she responded that the owner has celiac and eats everything on the menu. I asked more questions about shared fryer, shared toaster, etc. and she quickly started getting annoyed. I ordered a patty melt. When it came out the sandwich was on rye bread. I told her that rye is gluten and she said "it's your fault. You didn't tell me you wanted gluten free bread". I told her we just had a whole conversation about celiac. So she took the plate away. 5 min later offered more coffee and when I said no she scoffed, rolled her eyes, and walked away. I asked to cancel the order because she obviously doesn't take precautions and said that the kitchen would bring a fresh plate, which they did. She also said "I'm not gluten free. How was I supposed to know?" I took two bites and immediately realized the food was off. She took my coffee off the bill and said "good luck to you". Absolutely horrendous service and woman.

The stand outs were the: Small plates - Burrata and Broccolini Plates - The Pork chop was the best I've ever had! Desserts - Flourless Chocolate Torte and Butterscotch Pots de Crème (I will be thinking about the Pots de Creme for the rest of my life, even if you aren't a dessert at restaurants person this is something you can't miss!!)

Super friendly service and very accommodating for my no dairy requirements. I had the veggie burger, which was probably the best veggie burger I've ever had. This thing was so fresh tasting, there's no way it was prepared from being frozen. Full of quinoa, corn, etc. super duper delicious remoulade on a really good gourmet bun. Of course, I forgot to take a pic, but, I did manage to document my eating mates selections. See those pics - albeit, half eaten. Upgrade your order to the sweet potato tots, don't even hesitate, they're healthy and come with a mustard seed aioli sauce that makes the whole meal 360 degrees of scrumptiousness. I wish I had room in my pie hole for the donut ice cream sandwich - my only regret. Go off your intended route to try this place. McDonald's and Taco Bell don't need you. There's lovely tables and chairs under the trees that are clean and stocked with napkins and hand sanitizer. A really nice break in our trip!

What a tag team these to make. She took us outside after dinner and took pictures with us and let us look at and explain to us about her extensive tattoos. What a wonderful woman. And what a great experience. Very unique menu set up. Of course you don't wanna miss the fried chicken. It was excellent, but it's a lot of food. I never had coleslaw and Caesar salad with cottage cheese on the side to start when we sit down at the table. But whatever it was great and like I said unique. We are in a beautiful part of the dining room on the side and it was very mellow. Some great unique cocktails and a wonderful vibe.

Didn't care for the dessert, I've had better ice cream sandwiches from a gas station. I wish they would look at the old menu and recipes a little more. The service was interesting they were there checking on us quite a bit but not our waitress, she disappeared for most of the meal. If things have to change I think it should be better food, not making it cheaper for profits. I definitely still love going to the old restaurant, brings back the old style family dining and heritage of the area. We will be back and do recommend it, just hope they keep things as authentic as they can!!
