I love this place. Been eating here off and on since maybe 1985 or something. Just good and simple American diner food in a nice place that didn't change. Always satisfying. Original owner (now retired) remembered me even if I was away for months. My fave order has been scrambled eggs and diced ham under cheddar cheese, sided with hash browns and toast or pancakes, juice or coffee. Great way to start any day! Hope it survives the end of the World! read more

Went here for brekkie. Staff was super kind. Food was meh. Omelette was way over cooked. Hash Browns tasted like some funky griddle cleaner was used on griddle before cooking. Very strange offputting gross taste. Farmer Bros coffee is...well.... Farmer Bros. Extensive menu. The family who owns and runs it works hard. Just up the food game a bit, lose the nasty hash browns and do them better and change the coffee. Will go a long way in improving. read more

This is so good! I think I'm gonna quit working so I can just come and hang out here and eat every day. The pancakes were unbelievable. The Denver omelette was the best I've ever tasted and the service is impeccably nice. read more

Wonderful Service, very quick. Great back patio with shade for dogs. Would come here again.

The Johnson's Corner cinnamon roll was OUTSTANDING. I'd come back just for that, but the rest of the breakfast was just ok.

Greatest breakfast ever! Sandy was an amazing server! Food was not only delicious, but came out quickly. Definitely coming back. read more

Mountain Cafe - Family from California out for breakfast. - American Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

This is a great little diner! We came in on Sunday for a bite to eat after an early church service right across the street. The restaurant is a bit small, but very comfortable and they also have some patio seating as well. They weren't busy for a Sunday morning which made for quick service. The waitress was kind and attentive in taking care of us as well as her other guests. You can tell she's very personable and cares about the guests/regulars. Their prices were great for a simple breakfast. Our food came out fast and hot and was very tasty. Will certainly be back! read more

Small simple diner with solid food. Smaller menu than a Jersey diner, but similar quality. I got the fantastic omelet ($12.50) with ham, bacon, cheese, mushrooms, onions, and peppers. Good portion and very satisfying meal read more

Mountain Cafe - Fantastic omelet - American Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

The salt and pepper shakers were GREASY. The French toast was nothing more than pan-fried bread, no cinnamon, no nutmeg. The syrup had obviously been stretched by adding corn syrup and had no flavor. The service was fine but we won't be back. The prices are too high for the quality of the food. read more

With a rumbling belly after visiting the Larimer county farmers market, this place was perfect. Upon entering, this place looks like it has a lot of history to it. I loved the old school diner feel to it. They had the countertop with stools and the specials written on the white board. Our waitress let us choose where we wanted to sit and handed us menus. I opted for the breakfast burrito with green chili. My counterpart chose the biscuits and gravy. Our food was brought out within 15minutes and smelled amazing. We immediately dug in and had big smiles on our face after our first few bites. My burrito was perfectly layered with the potatoes, eggs, bacon, and the green chili on top to complement it. The biscuits and gravy were full of flavor and had the right amount of sausage in the gravy. Overall, this place was amazing! The staff were extremely friendly and you feel right at home here. I look forward to coming back and making numerous return visits! read more

Cute little place, felt very old school which is my kind of scene. We were greeted right away and sat down in a booth. We didn't have much time otherwise we'd have ordered more but we both ordered some juice and coffee, and got the cinnamon rolls. I didn't realize they'd be so big! We definitely could have shared. The staff were all nice and friendly. We both said that if I'm the area again we would surely come back and try a more heart breakfast! read more

The food and service are absolutely amazing! definitely my new favorite hotspot for a good breakfas!

Love this little hole in the wall café. Have come back several times. Food is good. Portion sizes are fair. One suggestion do not use aspirin sweetener. Please provide Stevia a healthy sub substitute for sugar. read more

Good service and good basic breakfast dishes. Nice mom and pop atmosphere. Easy seating on a Sunday morn.

I would eat here again. I liked the food waitstaff was attentive. Clean restrooms and restaurant

Great food!!! I got a Monte Cristo, served with FRESH fries! Very inexpensive. Great waitress, very kind and attentive. We'll be back as soon as we can! read more

Great service and great breakfast place. Have been there 3-4 times, basically whenever I'm in Ft Collins around breakfast time.

After just walking in the waitress was plain rude. She was not in the mood to accommodate for a larger crowd. When we cut the group size in half she was still blunt with us and would roll her eyes while walking away. She scolded one of our friends for stating his order before she was "ready" which is understandable but she could have politely asked for it to be repeated or for us to slow down. Coffee was watered down. And food was fair and had great portion sizes. She overall was average but she's also the reason my rating is so low. Not the type of person I want to interact with first thing in the morning. Carmen was very sweet though :) read more

Some of the worst employee attitudes I've experienced in a long time. Bad enough to never consider returning again.

So delicious!! Highly recommended breakfast joint! Don't let the interior fool you, it's definitely your typical small town diner look, but that's not what matters! I got the scrambler breakfast that consisted of biscuits topped with scrambled eggs with cheese, smothered in gravy with a side of hash browns. I could not resist ordering a side of bacon. This place already had fantastic reviews and I can see why! My fiancé ordered the breakfast burrito with everything in it, smothered in green chili and cheese. Service was kind and attentive as well. I will definitely be returning here for breakfast in the near future! 15/10 read more

I loved the coziness of this restaurant. Breakfast was great and I had the French toast and eggs. My friend got the burger and she loved it! Very friendly place with the small town feel. Thumbs up!! read more

Super yummy. Our server was super nice and she had extensive knowledge of the menu. The overall environment was very nice with a tree in the back as well as the nice rumble of a train passing by. read more

What a hidden gem! I have to admit, when I first walked in, I wasn't expecting much-- based off the decor and layout. But, my fiance wouldn't steer me in the wrong direction and the food ended up being phenomenal. I got the chicken fried steak with hash and eggs; it was perfectly done-- crispy and juicy. I also got to try some of the biscuit and gravy and thought that was delicious as well. Will absolutely be back to try more things. read more

The sausage biscuits and gravy are always delicious. The biscuits were also very good with green chili. Sandy's service was friendly and efficient. The coffee just kept coming. So glad to have this available again. The take out order of homemade fries won't make it home! Michael and Peggy. Thank you Moe and Sandy!! read more

Excellent service and yummy yummy food. The biscuits and gravy were the best I've had in any place in Fort Collins and the crispy. Hashbrowns were wonderful. read more

My husband took use for breakfast which included myself our 9 yrs old son and him and when we got there you could already tell by the look we got that we were not welcome. But my husband insisted we give them another chance.As we walked in the waitress said to sit ourselves so we did as told and sat down....we waited for at least 5 minutes before a waitress even acknowledged us to even give us a menu then she disappears around the corner and again we were waiting then an elderly white farming couple walked in and as soon as they reached a table the were greeted given a menu and two glasses of water even though my son 9yrs old,myself and my husband were still waiting to even see a menu !!!!!!! So we got up didn't make a fuss at all because why add to the disgusting behavior that was shown to my son by these racist Asshats!!! And the couple that walked in was a white elderly man & woman and us we are a Hispanic family of families that have lived in Ft. Collins for generations and it's sad to still see this especially when children are around. read more

I had so much fun with my classmates. We came in (12 of us) and the staff was so amazing and accommodating to us. The food was lovely the atmosphere was everything. Thank you Mountain Cafe!! read more

The omelette tastes like airline food. Coffee is very week and watered down Hash browns tasted like it's made with fake butter. read more

The three of us stopped in on Friday morning before starting our Ft. Collins brewery tours. This is a classic dinner with a great selection of breakfast items. I got a breakfast sandwich, with eggs, cheese and sausage between rye bread for $9. It was a hearty, delicious sandwich. My friend got the breakfast burrito that had eggs, cheese and mushrooms. He really enjoyed it as well. It looked like breakfast burritos were popular among the patrons. The food was delicious and the service was fast and friendly. This is a great place to enjoy breakfast for a reasonable price. read more

Great hometown feel. The perfect Sunday morning breakfast. The service is quick, food is well-priced, and they have a good selection. The place is older, but it's cozy and comfortable. read more

Food was good but the service was just plain terrible. The waitress was almost bothered by us being there. She came off as demanding and dropped the check on the table before even offering a refill or asking how our food was. We are from out of town but I can definitely see why the place was empty. read more

So, tell me how the Mountain Cafe does it? Everything is cooked to order, so it's not a fast food place! If you want real bacon on a real hamburger, then stop here! I recommend the BLT Sandwich and, of course,the bacon cheeseburger! I forgot to mention that they feature hand-cut French Fries! read more

My favorite little cafe in town. Services is always wonderful. They are always polite and attentive. The food is always satisfying. My favorite is the fresh salsa with my basic egg, toast and hash browns. They have great homemade pies if your lucky enough to be in time to get one. read more

Keeping the review simple, good food, fair prices, we will be back to try some of the breakfast specials!

The food was great and the service was great! They let us bring our dogs onto the patio and gave them bacon bits! Koba folded under the pressure and couldn't sit... read more

Another Diner review. Someday I may get around to a listing of diners in different areas. Right across the street from the courthouse in downtown Ft. Collins. Pretty good diner eats, very basic atmosphere and food, diner prices. Good enough to bring me back a half dozen times when I was in the area. I always have breakfast at diners, regardless of the time of day or night, so consider my diner reviews for the breakfast food. read more
