Romeo's Café in Salida has quickly become our go-to breakfast spot. We come up every other weekend to visit family, and it's kind of a tradition for my fiancé and I to try a breakfast place--whether it's something simple like Waffle House or somewhere new. This one really stood out. It has that great local, small-town feel without being overly expensive like some spots can be. The menu has plenty of solid options, everything we've tried has been really good, and the pricing is very reasonable for the quality you get. One of my favorite touches is the coffee setup--they bring out an insulated carafe, so you can refill your cup whenever you want without waiting on a server. It's such a small thing, but it makes the whole experience feel more relaxed and enjoyable. Between the quality, the pricing, and the service, this place really checks all the boxes for us. It's officially part of our weekend routine now whenever we're in town. If you're in Salida and looking for a great breakfast with good value and a welcoming atmosphere, I'd definitely recommend stopping by. read more

The fluffiest pancakes I've ever had in my life! The omelette was delicious and service was on point!

This place cooks home style breakfasts. I had the kamikaze burrito and my wife had the cheesecake pancakes with bacon. Both were amazing and served hot with a nice pot of coffee. I would eat here again anytime! read more

Romeo - Kamikaze burrito - Pancakes Near Me - Salida, Colorado

Travelling around the area on a mini road trip, we decided to stop in at Romeo's for brunch. Being from another country (but now an American), I love American diners, we just didn't have them where I'm from, and comfort food is the order of the day when you eat in one. The menu is a manageable size, not one of those that you have to sit there for hours pondering only to find something else just after you've made up your mind. Hubby went for the cheeseburger, I went for one of my all time fave brekky foods, Eggs Benedict. Okay, okay, getting Eggs Benedict in a small diner in a country town is probably risky because, let's face it, most people can't poach an egg. My eggs came out atop two halves of an English muffin with Canadian bacon slices and a generous dollop of Hollandaise. I'm sure the Hollandaise was not freshly made but it was okay. The eggs? Perfection. The knife slid into the first egg to let all the runny yolky goodness ooze on to the muffin and plate. Such a long time since I had Eggs Benedict and they were delicious. With the eggs came a serving of hash browns. I made the mistake of ordering them extra crispy because, in my experience, even when ordered this way, they are usually a soggy mess. Anyway, the hash browns were extra crispy but I used those to soak up the rest of the yolky deluge. There was also an extra half of a muffin with jelly on the side. Hubby had the cheeseburger with a side of onion rings. The burger looked a little sad on the bun and it was over-cooked but he said it was passable. With the burger came tomatoes (actually ripe), lots of pickles, lettuce and onion. He was able to build his burger to his liking. He said the onion rings were delicious. Now this is a diner that looks like it's been here for a long time. Nothing special to look at but the servers were hustling. Lots of locals, which is always a great sign. One thing I really liked was you ordered a cup of coffee and received a full cup plus a full pot as well so you can help yourself to refills. Overall, we left happy and satiated. Final bill for two brunches and a coffee was under $40, plus tip. In this day and age, that's not too bad. read more

We stopped in here for breakfast on our way out, and it was delicious. Hubs got the ham and cheese omelette with hashbrowns. The omelette was god and had a lot of cheese and ham in it; they definitely did not skimp on the ingredients. His order came with pancakes, so I asked if they could substitute the plain for the banana pancakes. When they came out, I had two pancakes with one slice of banana on top. At first, I thought this was not going to be good because there were no bananas. When I cut into them, I found out where those bananas were and those pancakes were delicious! They also serve them with a banana syrup, which was very tasty. And in the area, we will return! read more

We stopped by on our way home for breakfast. Classic breakfast diner feel. My husband got the huevos rancheros. I got French toast. Both were great. Service was a little slow, but it sounds like they're generally short staffed so that's to be expected. read more

Hash browns have what tasted like season all on them, when asked the waitress she said no there is no seasoning, just salt. Salt is not red and orange in color. You could see that there was seasoning. the menu says nothing about seasoning on them. Then she just kept saying they are fine, they are fine and walked away. The toast was not toasted, it ws grilled on one side on the grill and soggy. She the went to the area were they pick up orders and I then have several different employees looking at me and saying derogatory comments about me. Waitress did not come back to table until husband was done with his food. She then asked if I wanted something different. Well no not now and why didn't you ask when I made comment about food in the first place. After waiting for her to take payment I asked another if she would please take and cash us out so we could go. She did and as she left the receipt for me to sign I heard the original waitress tell her well I comped $2.00 for the hash browns and offered to get her something else. Well you don't do that when the others at the table are finished eating and wanting to go, beside you never came back to check on the meal or refill drinks. read more

Romeo - The kamikaze burrito - Pancakes Near Me - Salida, Colorado

Great food and great service! One of the best places for breakfast in the area. You can't visit this place and NOT have their pancakes!

Exactly what I needed. Food was great. Service from a sweet nice spoken and attentive waitress who came to my table frequently. The comfort and surroundings were classic and clean. Pleasant Marianna and the never resting support from her team was a nice return to better times in dining. NO POS demanding ridiculous tips before resting and dining. Thank you read more

Great little country diner with a great breakfast menu and great staff! We stopped in on our way to Telluride

Great place for breakfast! Short wait, fast service!! Got a three egg omelette with all the sides for $14. Will definately recommend!!

Good service. Busy for breakfast and many locals so you know it has repeat customers. Fair prices. A bit noisy but still OK. Nothing fancy, just a good place to eat when you don't want to go downtown. read more

I like Romeo's. Nothing fancy but good basic breakfast. Pancakes are always good and always have a pleasant experience overall.

First, it's "Romeo's" not "Romeo". I confess, we were disappointed to find Romeo's instead of Patio Pancake Place. And to be fair, the new establishment doesn't compare. But then, not many could. Patio was a rare gem. Most of the food is okay--sort of like a more expensive Denny's--and it's served quickly by friendly staff. But we had a couple of complaints. One, the cheap silverware cuts into your fingers when you try to chop food on your plate. Painful and annoying. Two, our 'extra crispy' hash browns simply were not edible. Just my guess, but they were deep fried in oil that had long passed its expiration. Gross. I wondered how often the waitresses pick up plates of unfinished hash browns. That's about it. read more

Quite popular, our first time here, since our other favorite was closed. Service was good, and attentive and very polite, I had the breakfast bowl which was quite good and filling with sausage gravy, my wife had the patty melt, which we assured was really good. BUT, when the patty melt came it was overcooked asked for medium rare, it was on regular wheat toast American cheese and some chopped onions, a smattering, not worth $10 which I could have done at home. The coleslaw was made with straight mayonnaise not good. Not come the bill, $48 before any tip. $3 for coffee, $5 for a Diet Coke, $3 for a cup of gravy for the leftovers, I mean come on! NOT WORTH IT, WILL GO TO THE GAS STATION AND GET A BURRITO read more

Affordable breakfast and lunch. We eat here at least once a week. Even when crowded, in and out in 30 minutes. Pros;; omelets that are light and fluffy; pancakes that you would walk 5 miles to eat; loaded hash browns-literally you can add any item-scrumptious; biscuits and gravy; coffee; excellent t service! Cons; none Highly recommend! read more

It was busy but I was seated right away. The menu was simple and had exactly what I wanted. The coffee was good and they gave me a carafe so I would not have to ask or turn them down if they offered more before I was ready. I had eggs with toast and hash browns covered in sausage gravy. The food came very fast and was perfect. I eat at many little dinners like this and can't remember any better breakfast. It was perfect. They took my plate the moment I was done. read more

Pancakes have the most wonderful vanilla flavor. Biscuits and gravy were spot on good, and great before a hike. Friendly staff!
