Big restaurant with a nice bright decor. Located a short distance from the freeway which makes it an easy stop on the way into the mountains to ski. Because it's big, no wait during this Covid debacle. Friendly staff who did a great job. They have a very large selection of food, even trout and eggs!! I had a traditional breakfast with eggs and crispy hash browns. And surprisingly they were really crispy. Most places don't do that even when you ask. Really good pancake as a side. My buddy had the previously mentioned trout which he loved. I was surprised a diner would serve fresh trout with the skin on, but this is Colorado. Coffee was great. Breakfast places can be hit or miss, even with good reviews. This place is a HIT. read more

Come here for breakfast on a regular basis. The food is consistently prepared well, and they are somewhat flexible in adjusting composition of menu items a bit. Staff is friendly & helpful, with some serving for many years. Space is fairly large, but they do get busy at peak times. They have some capacity for larger groups (pulling tables together). Highly recommend. read more

I'll start off by saying we are from Houston Texas. So when we saw a sign for breakfast burritos we almost impulsively went. Thankfully we looked at reviews first and decided to go looking for this cafe. They were so kind, offering everything they could even with the restrictions in place yet again. Their burritos are absolutely amazing. I'm picky about how my tofu is done because it has no taste of its own. But I trusted this place and boy am I glad i did.

WOW!!! Quite possibly the Best breakfast experience we've Ever had! The wait wasn't short, but WELL Worth it! Kevin our server really listened to every special request and made sure it was PERFECT!! Here's our rundown of the food and beverages. Mimosa Pitcher was the EXACT color you want Mimosas to be, mostly bubbles vs the OJ so they were Perfect! Biscuits and Gravy (we ordered to share as a center piece with the table, and Kevin thoughtfully sent them out ahead of the food, and brought us plates to share) Delicious! Eggs Benedict were solid, cooked perfect such that the yolk was the perfect amount of runny, but held intact on the outside. We ordered extra crispy hash browns and they were SOOOOO Good, perfectly golden crispy. Really a surprise, I feel sometimes they get burned by other places when asking for crispy. My son Loved the burrito, I think it was brisket but not sure. All in all, every part of the experience exceeded our expectation and over-delivered, even as busy as they were. Can't wait to go back! read more

Honestly, this is a very good place. The hot, fresh cinnamon rolls with plenty of frosting make it worth it on their own. Kelly in the comments below described it as gooey and delicious and it is spot on. Friendly service, great social distancing, plenty of breakfast options. The portions are ample and the prices are very reasonable for summit county. The only downside is that you will likely encounter a wait so get there early or just plan for that. read more

@sunshinecafe_co Quick service despite being filled to capacity with families and tourists and locals. The side of bacon was hearty with many pieces of crisp delicious bacony goodness to devour. Despite being in a strip mall, the Sunshine Cafe delivers the goods. As a biscuits and gravy authority, I had to try it. It is my duty. It was pretty good, better than the average B&G at most places. The coffee was average. The waitress was super nice and very attentive to my needs from beverage refills to more napkin requests to providing the check in a timely manner. She was informative in answering my questions about local to-dos. I enjoy patronizing local businesses. It is my main theme whilst traveling. I try to avoid chain restaurants at all costs. I support local business wherever I go. Sunshine Cafe is truly a small mountain cafe with altitude! I recommend giving it a try whilst in the Silverthorne area. You'll be glad you did. read more

Highly disappointed. My husband and I are visiting from IL and staying at a local resort. Not many places to choose from inside the resort so we decided to DoorDash. I don't know if the food would have been different in restaurant.. but I doubt it. I paid $20 for cinnamon roll French toast. It wasn't even French toast to begin with. Just two dry cinnamon rolls. The icing was different but actually decent.. but $20??? The size alone wasn't even worth that price. The cinnamon roll we ordered on the side... portion was good but honestly tasted like they used salt instead of sugar. The only good thing I can say about this place was the chocolate chip cookie was fantastic! Other than that, not worth the fees I paid for the convenience of ordering out. read more

Nestled off of the main road in Frisco lies this gem. Now, I will acknowledge that I was somewhat biased by the name walking in, however, in spite of the food quality, this experience was a miss for us. We were seated quickly, our server came over and took our order. We ordered iced coffee (canned from Dazbog) and then our food. The food took a bit, we ran out of creamer and Splenda. My husband decided he wanted a Dr. Pepper so we asked for one when the server came to take our order. We then sat and waited. The server didn't come and check on us again. I got her attention at one point and asked again for the Dr. Pepper as it had been several minutes. When I asked, she turned around, widened her eyes at me and said "it is coming." Our food came several minutes later. I ordered steak and eggs which were ok, the steak was a little underseasoned. The hash browns were delicious! A different server brought our meal out. We were eating and the original server brought out our cinnamon roll, she set it down hard on the table and my fork was knocked off my plate onto the table flinging hash browns off the plate. No apology or recognition. She didn't come back again until I got her attention and asked to pay. Delicious food for the most part but we wouldn't come back based on the service alone. read more

Lots of vegan and vegetarian options, especially for a mountain town. Staff seemed fully aware of what was vegan and what wasn't. Makes for a great lunch stop when driving to Breckinridge or Steamboat. Vegetarian options are clearly marked. Many can be made vegan with small changes that the staff has no issues making. Some of the vegan options: - Veggie breakfast burrito with added tofu - Veggie Galore scramble added tofu - Bean burger pattie (swap in on any of their burgers for $1.50) - Vegetarian cooker sandwich without cheese - Vegetarian green chile (also vegan) - Soy milk for coffee drinks Was so happy to see that they have these options and will plan to return next time we come through to try more dishes, but this time around I had the breakfast burrito with tofu added and it was underwhelming. The green chile had a decent flavor but seemed to fade away after the first few bites. The burrito itself had a ton of pepper/onions that were cut in large pieces making them somewhat flavorless. I wouldn't completely discount this option, but I wish it had a little more pop. read more

Best brunch I had in Frisco…read more Butterhorn Bakery and Cafe is the highest-rated brunch spot in Frisco, and based on my experience, I'd agree with the hype. Of the couple of brunch spots I tried in town, this was my favorite. I ordered the Cornucopia with eggs over medium and substituted the home fries for fruit. The fruit was surprisingly good, strawberries, blueberries, and bananas with a light sprinkle of powdered sugar. A side of fruit can be pretty hit or miss when you substitute it at brunch, so I was pleasantly surprised. The eggs were cooked right, and the toast was fine. I opted for turkey bacon, though, and I'd recommend skipping it. It was pretty crispy and lacked much flavor. The standout was the cinnamon roll French toast. We ordered it to share with the table, and I highly recommend doing the same. It comes with two large cinnamon rolls that are soaked in egg batter and grilled French-toast style. It was top tier. I noticed several tables around us sharing the regular cinnamon roll as well, and those looked fantastic too. They also have a bakery counter inside with plenty of grab-and-go options. The pastries all looked great, along with fresh bread, cookies, and other sweet treats. If you're visiting Frisco and looking for brunch, Butterhorn is definitely worth a stop. And whatever you order, I'd make sure the cinnamon roll French toast makes it onto your table.

And thankfully they do. I actually think it could've used a little more salt...but with butter it was very nice. I ordered the chorizo scramble, which was overall a good dish. Normally chorizo provides a more robust flavor than what was received, though with lots of Cholula and hashbrowns it all ate together well. Bonus points, my kid ate a good amount of his giant pancake!!! Bathrooms are outside the restaurant, way down the hall that shares with other businesses. If the weather is cooperating, sitting outside on Main Street is the move. Now that I'm writing this review, I see they actually have a location in Lakewood...news to me!

Hands down THE WORST customer service ever gotten . I walked in with my husband to get done breakfast in on a busy Saturday morning . Was told by a greeter taking reservations that there's immediate seating at the counter . As we were moving towards the counter, the owner Tinley condescendingly told us that the middle seat on the counter is occupied, with the only 2 remaining starts at the counter not being adjacent to each other. We left, given Tinley's attitude which, both verbally and non- verbally communicated her unwillingness to accommodate us by moving the customer in the middle who - was not started eating, his good was not ready, and he was in the bathroom at the moment of our arrival . When we left, without apology from anyone - I called Tinley asking for some explanation for her behavior . She simply said, once more without apologizing- " I was not gonna move my customer ." Tinley clearly did not care, everything about the lady was saying "I have a place full of people and I can afford to not care about 2 customers." I'm a local property owner who brings a lot of people to Summit County year round. As a successful business owner , I'm not begrudging this honest logistical mistake on Tinley's part- rather her totally dismissive attitude about trying to attempt to accommodate a brand new customer. I definitely WOULD NOT recommend. read more

Don't even consider anywhere else for breakfast. I'm not joking. We are the best breakfast we have had in Colorado.

The Westside Cafe is one of the friendliest establishments in Vail. The service is impeccable and…read morethe extensive menu is perfect.

I cannot recommend Westside to visitors and locals alike. this is a fabulous neighborhood bar and restaurant.

Fun twist on breakfast with a standout chicken and waffles Benedict…read more I stopped at Westside Cafe on a weekend trip to Vail for our final meal, and it was great. It was fairly busy for a Sunday in the off season. There was a 15-minute wait for a table for three inside, so we opted to sit outside and were seated right away. The patio is cute, with flowers and perfect for a good weather day. We shared an order of the classic French toast for the table, and it was solid, exactly what you'd expect. I was torn between a few items on the menu, and our waiter recommended the eggs Benedict. They were able to split my order in half, so I got to try two. The chicken and waffles Benedict was the standout for me. It's served over a sweet potato waffle with a chicken tender on top and an egg on top of that, and it was so good. The other was the bison tenderloin Benedict, which was solid but not as good as the chicken and waffles in my opinion. I subbed the hash browns for a side of fruit. Overall, a great meal, and if I'm ever back I'll have to order the chicken and waffles Benedict again. It's a fun and tasty twist on a classic breakfast staple - that waffle was top notch.

Take Away: Be careful who you hire as a server…read more Diners can quickly forgive a one-off, mishap in a respected restaurant when it's busy. When a clueless, loud, "sing-song-y" talkin' server is added to the misfortune, it becomes apparent how the atmosphere of the meal is as important, if not more important, than the meal itself. Blue Moose is a solid, unpretentious restaurant. The serving are generous and the staff creates a family experience. There is enough variety and a nod to GF and V ingredients for all to feel at home. The prices reflect quality ingredients but stay below Breckenridge's gourmet establishments. Skiers love this place for their hearty meals. Blue Moose knows their audience. We tend to do breakfast at home but they mirror the vibe we love about Breck so from time to time we stop by. We split our time between Breckenridge and an out of state home. My husband has worked ski season on the mountain for decades, full and part-time. I waited a week to post this but should mngmnt be wondering about how diners are experiencing the service... Labor Day Sunday, busy & chilly, we were the first to say "sure" to an outdoor table. I requested extra broccoli with the garden breakfast. When it arrived the biscuit was in a pool of hot water. I quickly tilted the plate by placing an upside down spoon on one side to drain the water away from the over-easy eggs and veggies. I understood what happened. The broccoli was over steamed to the point of yellowing stems. It was plated and in the minutes it took to walk it from kitchen to table, the water was dripping off the stems and pooling on the plate. My thought process: I dislike wasting food, I did not want to get a cook scolded - stuff happens, we are smack in the middle of the patio - I am loyal to Breck businesses so did not want to call attention to the mishap and have that discussion invade the other diners' experience. "Suck it up and see if I can get a fresh bisquit" I thought as I lovingly caressed two packs of orange marmalade - a true sign of distinguished breakfast service. As the minutes ticked by I was increasingly dismayed that the pool of water was turning yellow from my over easy egg yolks. The mess was hard to miss. Our server flitted by our table a few time and I saw her look directly at my watery plate twice. Once she asked if everything was fine and we sort of nodded and I quickly raised my hand and said "May I please (have a fresh bisquit) but she kept walking after I said please. I placed the brocolli into a food storage container I typically bring for leftovers when dining out, hoping the plate could be removed ASAP. I salvaged the egg whites and enjoyed the other veggies. Man, she could talk up a storm with the other diners but kept gliding past us. I sustained my dream of a fresh, warm biscuit slathered with orange marmalade. Our Server-in-denial continued to flit. Neither of us could catch her eye. When she finally brought over the check, I pointed to my plate. OK - this is where I forgot a rhetorical question is too subtle during a biscuit crisis. "How does this happen?" I quietly asked, hunching over the plate, pointing to the yolky water and wet flour ball. I just wanted the issue acknowledged so I could get a quiet, sympathetic "Oh, no!" and fresh biscuit to go. Instead, she explained loudly, loudly, the hydraulics of brocolli that has not been drained. I raised my hand slightly, mumbling "Please stop, I know how to cook." I have never met the owner(s) but I was thinking of them and the people who are making a living from the restaurant. I did not want others to hear this conversation. Our server seemed to want everyone, 5 feet beyond normal earshot, to know that my ordering extra brocolli is the reason my plate has a pool of water, though I don't think they wanted to know about it. I was afraid to ask for a fresh biscuit as that was sure to extend the conversation and there was no telling what was going to be said around that issue. She then rushed off came back loudly announcing to the dining circle around us that she was "giving" us a "local" discount and our bill was now $40.16. Golly, gosh. We did not expect to be identified as "locals" as we don't go there often. We did not want this to be an issue as we are "local" enough to want everyone to enjoy a Breck Breakfast. But when she reappeared announcing her valor in securing us a local discount, it was ridiculously self-serving and once again we were forced to be "on stage" with her. I will be back to get that fresh biscuit to-go. Full confession: being forced to be "on stage" I lost track of the fact that I never stopped clutching the 2 marmalade packets and they are now in our fridge. Sorry about that.
