    My favorite meal is breakfast. And Mountain Lyon cafe is my all time favorite breakfast place ever. The best breakfast burrito of all time!

    Another wonderful meal, and as promised to myself a month ago, The Ruben Sandwich was terrific, service was on point, and the ambiance was, well, basic, But with music

    Plenty of parking as you drive up to the Café. As you enter the establishment, you order before you are seated. It took me a while to decide and ended up ordering the Hot French Dip Sandwich with a bowl of Black Bean Chile. After ordering you take your number and sit anywhere you want. The food came out pretty fast. It was pretty cold that day so I started with the Black Bean Chile. I can't take much heat, and the chile was super spicy for my taste. But it was pretty good I think? My taste buds were numb. The French Dip was a bit dry and the dipping sauce was too salty as were the french fries. It did satisfy my appetite though. Overall, it was average. Staff were friendly and service was good. The food was a bit salty for my liking.

    You'll need to know there is usually a line to get in. It wasn't that long when we arrived. You order and pay for your food at the counter, they give you a number to take with you while you find a table. Plenty of seating when we went. I probably would have given them 5 stars but the server was not very nice. I felt that she got offended when I asked for hot sauce and a side of sour cream. She seamed annoyed. I ordered the ultimate skillet with cheese sauce. Very yummy. Could have used a little more meat but it was good. I ordered the pancakes with my meal which where small but very yummy. My wife order the veggie omelette. She really enjoyed it. Prices were average, food was yummy, server was annoyed. I'd probably still go back.

    It's a pretty typical diner. Fast service, good food, and solid coffee. They were efficient and friendly even on a busy day.

    Crowded but worth the wait. Food is delicious. Multigrain pancakes are outstanding. We stop here every year we come to Frisco.

    Great breakfast spot. Green chili was very good. Just wish the coffee wasn't so watered down and flavorless.

    We stop by this small town cafe on the way to steamboat spring…read more Small town with lots of character. This establishment is super crowded, the host is super efficient with checking in and report via text once table is ready. Food: salmon with brown rice plate is excellent, steak and egg plate - eggs cooked well, however the steak sirloin is dry and well done for medium rare and dry. I would not recommend steak here. Sandwich is decent. Drinks are yummy. Cappuccino and frapp are delicious. Overall, this place just needs faster service, more waiter/waitress to accommodate the volume of customers on peak time

    Food: The breakfast enchiladas with chorizo, smothered with…read moreColorado Green Chile and sitting on a bed of hash browns in an overly filling meal. Between the eggs, enchiladas, and hash browns, I was more than full and needed a take-home box as well. The flavors are good and the chorizo is spicy enough to stand out even among the smothering. Steer clear of the red Chile which is tomato and beans- would absolutely change the meal. Service: 2nd rush ~ we came in at 9 and were seated by 9:15. Our server said the first rush starts at 7AM and there is a line out the door. So come at 9 for a non-rushed sit-down ;-) The server was friendly and attentive. Payment expectation for restaurants is shifting though. When I was handed the credit card machine to check out, my suggested tip was between 22-30%, with a custom tip button as well. Ambience: The customers here are the general Dillon population and working class. It's not as bare bones as a diner, and not hoyty toyty like restaurants in neighboring Breck. The combination of all 3 will have me coming back for breakfast next time I'm up there.

The sandwich was alright-- it was tasty, but a little bit dry even with the cream cheese. I wish it had. A little more cream cheese, and maybe some syrup on the side to dip into. The cinnamon roll was really good! I brought it home and reheated it, and the icing was really tasty, the roll itself was soft, and the cinnamon filling was really good. The pancake was amazing!! It was so delicious and sweet with the salty bacon on top and a deeper flavor from the brown butter, and the texture was cake-like but bouncy. It was delicious. Service was great, super fast and thoughtful and the restaurant itself was very nice! They had a bar in the middle of the room and TV's to watch, and a selection of booths and tables.

I ordered the BLT with grilled chicken and swapped the chips for a Caesar salad. The chicken was a little on the dry side, but the seasoning was actually really good so it still had plenty of flavor. My husband got the chicken and grits--everything on his plate was delicious and packed with flavor. Overall, it's a solid spot with a great atmosphere. We'd definitely go back sometime!

    I honestly don't like leaving bad reviews, but this experience was terrible…read more I ordered mac and cheese with chili and pork, and what came out looked like plain microwaveable Kraft mac and cheese. There was no chili, no pork, nothing -- just basic mac and cheese that tasted like it came straight out of a box. My friend ordered a burger that was supposed to come with lettuce, blue cheese, and the works. Instead, it arrived with just chicken and bread. That was it. No toppings at all. The water we were given was also incredibly dirty -- it literally looked grey. Service somehow managed to be both overwhelming and nonexistent. While we were eating, the waiter came back to the table every couple of seconds so we couldn't even have a conversation. But when we were actually ready for the check, suddenly there was no waiter anywhere and we fwaited about 15 minutes. On top of that, every request got mixed up. I asked for blue cheese and after about 10 minutes the waiter came back with ranch. Then I asked for lemon vinaigrette (which the meal was supposed to come with) and instead got honey mustard. After explaining again, she came back with... even more honey mustard. We also paid $10 for fries with green chili and received about 15 fries. And one more thing when paying they did NOT bring my card back for about 20 minutes. It was also extremely dark where we were sitting all of the surrounding lights were off but everywhere else in the resteraunt was perfectly fine Overall the food quality, service, and attention to orders were extremely disappointing. Definitely not an experience I'd repeat don't waste your money here.
