    I'm having a GF blueberry pancake with sausage & hubby is enjoying French toast and bacon. Excellent service and food.

    Excellent food and service! This is our favorite breakfast spot in CB. Arrive early to avoid a wait.

    Breakfast #4

    Worth the wait! We came on a Sunday for brunch and had an hour wait for 4 people. The food was flavor-packed and delicious. The patio is so comfortable with ample umbrellas and wildflowers. Many had their dogs leashed around the fence sitting by them.

    Me and a few friends went here on a Saturday morning. The place was super busy (35 min wait) and the food was pretty good. It was a little expensive though. I got the #7 basic breakfast (which was biscuits and gravy with hash browns). Everything was pretty delicious! The biscuit was absolutely the star of the show - light and fluffy with a nice taste of butter. I'd go back just to get more biscuits and gravy. The food here was a little expensive, but it is a tourist town. The pancakes are ~$10 and pretty big! The service was decent, our waitress was attentive and nice. The vibe was pretty cool too - all the windows in the front made for great Mountain View's Overall, i might go back here. Would definitely recommend the biscuits

    Went here while visiting from out of town and it was perfect. Great views, great staff, amazing food and drinks. Their drink menu was incredible.

    Very nice brunch option in town. They have a beautiful patio area that's shaded with trees, and the inside seating has a great view of the mountains. The food was good but unfortunately their pancakes were dry and rough, we couldn't eat more than one bite of it. Their menu is extensive and they have real maple syrup!

    Bacon eggs and hash browns

    I'm a green chili aficionado so whenever I see Juevos Rancheros on the breakfast menu I have to try it. Paradise Cafe did not disappoint! It's not very spicy but had GREAT flavor! An interesting touch to the meal was fried Chorizo sausage. Not in the green chili but sprinkled over the eggs. Very good. Wife had the basic two eggs, bacon and hash browns. She really enjoyed it. The place is small but a great atmosphere for breakfast. Rachel at the bar was great! Always a smile and very friendly. I had a Salty dog and the wife had a bloody. Both were above average. Strong pour and a good BM recipe. The view is outstanding looking at at Mt. Crested Butte. We did not have a wait but I'm sure it's worth it if you do. Visit Rachel and tip her well!

    Truly enjoyed our time at Paradise Cafe while in CB! A great local spot with wonderful and friendly staff that truly care about their community and educating others about why CB is so wonderful. There is a lot on the menu but we settled for pancakes and huevos rancheros per the waitresses recommendation- she was not wrong!! I also truly enjoyed my Bloody Mary with wonderful snacks. We went around 9am and it was busy but they made room for us so we had no wait :)

    Eggs Benedict

    We had an amazing breakfast here on Sunday. We arrived a little before 8, and it was fairly quiet/we had options of where to sit. We sat at a table by the windows for two, where there was ample sunshine. We were provided with menus (one entire side is all of their fun beverage creations), and the other side is food. Our server was great, took our drink orders, and then came back for our food order after we had our beverages (I just went coffee, Bob ordered a chai). I ordered the eggs Benedict, which comes with your choice of protein, I went with corned beef hash, and it comes with a very generous portion of hash browns. I love Benedict's for breakfast, because I love love love hollandaise - and this came with a very generous portion of hollandaise that was really good. The hash browns were also really good. We had such a wonderful experience here, with both food and service, we will definitely be back!

    Such delicious hash browns!

    Fearful of what I might find here, as small, resort locales often possess oligopolistic control…read moreover pricing and quality, I ventured through the door at McGill's, a local staple, and ordered the Great American breakfast. The quality of ingredients and preparation were all spot on. Bacon was triple crispy as I requested. Hash browns were made with butter, as I insisted. Eggs were cooked perfectly, neither rubbery nor slimy. Magnificent was the French toast. Served as something resembling a German log roll, it was crispy on the outside, tasty throughout, and yet remained free from being bread-y. I savored every bite of this, a real highlight. You can substitute this for the muffin for a $2 fee or thereabouts. Do that, and you won't be disappointed. Two areas that could be improved: the pancake syrup, and while it tasted fine, was definitely corn syrup based and low quality. I humbly think that the owner could easily charge $1.75 more and offer the real thing. Further, the orange juice wasn't great, acceptable, but far from a real fresh squeezed caliber. The hostess forced me to sit at the bar when tables were open. Fortunately for me, a spectacularly responsive and friendly other server rescued me, provided me a table and provided the utmost in service for a breakfast styled establishment of this ilk. She was also food knowledgeable as her husband and her own one of the truly great restaurants in town, further down the street on Elk Avenue. Pricing was just right. Location is fantastic as well. I plan to return, but may bring my own syrup and orange juice. Thumbs up for McGill's.

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!

    Great find! Stopped by here while camping in the area. I'm with my pups so an outdoor seating area…read moreat a food truck sounded perfect. They have a nice sized patio area with about 7 spaced out tables and a couple of chairs for the to go orders. There is a huge pine tree for shade as well. Simple menu written on a chalk board because it varies daily. The prices seem appropriate for a quality food truck and for the area as well. I was already debating the Philly or the shrimp poboy depending on what they had and it turned out to be the poboy. Order didn't take long and then my huge sandwich arrived. It came with a small bag of chips, but the sandwich itself is huge and loaded. The sandwich is on a soft hogie rather than the traditional french type of bread, but it's delicious and fresh . The shrimp (plump, perfectly cooked and plenty) is in a kind of dark cajun remoulade mixed with bacon and sauteed onions with multi colored bell peppers. Oh, and it has lettuce so you don't feel bad about eating it all in one sitting! :) Overall, I loved it! Bursting with flavor in every bite! Felt more like a Cajun shrimp Philly minus the cheese. Only if I was to be the one to name it of course! There is no such thing as a shrimp Philly though...yet! Oh, and ask for a fork or to have them cut it in half or you will be using way more napkins than necessary! ;-) Met Kevin, ones of the owners and he was very nice and easy to talk to. Nice place to stop if you are passing through or if you are a local, what are you waiting for!? Try them out before they go on their winter vacation! :) Or just make sure you try them out when you get a chance. They'll be back. I hope!

    A bit disappointing... This restaurant came highly…read morerecommended to us as our trip to Crested Butte was extra special this year. We had an important family event and chose this restaurant as our family dinner to celebrate. I mentioned in our reservation that this event was a special occasion and we were sat at a beautiful, intimate table with complementary shots at the end of dinner as a congratulations - We were very grateful for this hospitality. We were disappointed due to the quality of service and food. We felt we hardly saw our server and did not get refills/ service as we had hoped and spent a lot of time waiting. It was a Friday night, however we had a later reservation and the restaurant was not as busy by that time... When our meal came out, it was delivered to our table by another employee and when we said "thank you!" feeling excited to try our food, the person did not make eye contact or even acknowledge anyone at the table...? For dinner we were recommended the ribs and were extremely disappointed. They were so dry and tough and did not end up getting eaten. The chicken was phenomenal but felt that the rest of the sides were subpar. At a minimum of $50 a person, we expected excellent service and food...

    Great food. Tasty cocktails. Historic location. Friendly professional service. My wife and I…read more enjoyed our dinner there last night. We'll be back when we return to Crested Butte!
