My parents grew up playing with mercury and they turned out ok. But don't take this joke as to infer that I am saying this food is poison because it is not - i am just hilarious, that's all) I love krautburgers and I miss 'em. This german cabbage pocket is amazing. Hamburger, cabbage, cheese and mustard (and one of them from Schwartz i got had jalapeños). Obviously the dough is important too but I couldn't tell you anything about dough except that if it tastes good - good job. Good Job Schwartz. I really was pleasantly surprised with their recipe. I will say that my grandma's are better but she is no longer with us. My Grandpa was born in Evans and my Grandma lived on a farm that was right were the Greeley mall ended up. They lost the farm in the great depression and then she later worked at that mall until she retired with pennies. That seems like an even greater depression. Anyway, I wonder if everone in that area ate krautburgers. I think the fast food chain Runza confused a lot of people because they also made krautburgers - and most people just saw the burger word and were upset for what looks like an inside out burger without sourkraut in it. Anyways, give Schwartz a try and tell them My Grandma probably wanted you to try them. And if you are in the business of doing what I say, subscribe to me on everything (roboticwilly) and go back and "like" everything I have ever done because what the heck else are you going to do? Thank You.

Schwartz's was a homecoming for me on a recent trip to Greeley, and I was delighted to see that…read morethey had some old-school Volga German favorites for even a vegetarian like me. Krautburgers (also known as runza or cabbage pockets, as my family calls them), is a yeast bun filled with peppery cabbage, beef, and onions. They are a specialty of the Volga German people (ethnic Germans from Southern Russia that immigrated en masse to the Great Plains in the early 1900's), and are particularly popular in eastern Colorado. I grew up eating them made by my Volga German grandmother, but have not had one in years due to my vegetarianism and moving away from the area. To my knowledge, Schwartz's is one of the few places left in the region that still makes them, so my family and I had to stop in while in Greeley. Located in a simple strip mall, Schwartz's humble location belies the rich and, personally nostalgic, experience that it offers. The menu features classic cabbage pockets, along with more modern, Americanized options like jalapeño and broccoli-cheddar (they even serve Colorado green chile on the side). Shockingly, Schwartz's does offer a vegetarian option, but to my chagrin, they must be ordered in advance, so I wasn't able to sample it. I will certainly prepare better next time. Instead, I tried the cheese pockets, which were essentially the classic dough filled with American cheese and deep-fried. It was fun- not nearly as good as a classic cabbage pocket, but it sufficed, especially after I paired it with a side of their hot sauerkraut to mimic that old-world flavor. In addition, I was pleased to see that Schwartz's offers more Volga German classics even beyond cabbage pockets. On the side, we ordered classic spaetzle (not something I grew up with, but a nice German touch) and the classic Russian cucumber and onion salad in sour cream dressing with dill, just like grandma made. The desserts were out of this world, as well. They had my favorite grebble- a fried cinnamon and sugar donut, and the classic cherry kugan, or coffee cake, an integral part of every Volga German funeral or wedding I have ever been to. My companions who were able to sample the classic cabbage pockets were very pleased, and particularly noted how perfect the dough was, just like we all remembered. Schwartz's is a must for anyone looking to learn more about an obscure regional Colorado culture, and I commend them for keeping these classic recipes alive on the Eastern plains.

I suggested chili cheese fries and hope they take that into consideration The atmosphere was calm and pleasant when I arrived (about 30 minutes after opening). It wasn't busy yet, but I noticed a few people enjoying their meals outside. The staff provided phenomenal service quick, courteous, and genuinely friendly, which made the visit even better.

Paragon Family Restaurant has a variety of breakfast offerings. I was here for the Eggs Benedict…read more My review is only of the Benedicts, nothing else. The staff was polite and helpful. They took good care of me. With that in mind, I will let you know that have a "top ten" list for Benedicts. My rating is based on 3 weights : 70% = taste 20% = presentation 10% = price #1 - taste: They do use a thick piece of ham. The eggs were an almost perfect easy. The Hollandaise sauce was made from scratch and had a very distinctive flavor and taste but not just a plain yellow sauce. The reason I review Eggs Benedict is because of the difference in the flavor of the Hollandaise sauce. They do not have hash browns but have call "boiled, sliced and fried potatoes." They were browned like hash browns. #2 -presentation : It was great. #3-price: $13.59 is right in line with Bennys with hash browns. Coffee for $2.79 a cup which is lower then a lotta places. I also tried the biscuit and gravy. One of the best ever. Although it did not make my top 10 Eggs benedict list they are very good and worth the try.

Easy street parking, surrounded by fun shops in Old Town, it offers both indoor and outdoor seating. We arrived early and had no trouble walking in, but make a reservation if you plan to be there after 6:00pm, even on a weeknight. Ambience is quite pleasing, it was not loud and Kelly came over soon after being seated to see about drinks and apps. If you want a thoughtful, friendly server Kelly is the one! We ordered the cornbread skillet first. Mmmmm mmm. Warm in a skillet and served with whipped honey butter, could it get any better? Well....maybe. Because the beef tips were so incredible. Melt in your mouth! One of our party likes cuts of meat on the pink side, the other prefers more well done cuts. Off Kelly went with our plates, returning having divided them into two and having the beef done perfectly for both of us. Get some extra BBQ sauce/gravy with it. Perfection. Mashed potatoes were also quite good. We were stuffed. I would go back in a heartbeat. Yum. Kudos to the chef, to Kelly and to the manager, who stopped by twice.....once to serve and once to check in.
