Forgive me for not taking a pic. I've been coming in and out of Gunnison Colorado for years as a…read morecorporate charter pilot and have always enjoyed the Backcountry Café. This time I had the opportunity to bring my wife along and she just fell in love with the café. We ate there a couple of mornings for breakfast and a couple of days for lunch and as always great food, great people and sometimes there's a line out the door. One morning breakfast while we were in town it was so packed that a couple got up from the table, came to us at the door and invited us to sit with them. Turns out they're locals. Just want to say we are super appreciative to Tony & Ellie for asking Stephanie and I to sit with them. We now have new friends in town. Had a great breakfast. Great Fellowship. We will be back. Over the years, I think I've had everything on the breakfast menu. This trip for lunch I had the backcountry club, Philly cheesesteak, and Blue Mesa sandwich. Everything, that we have ever eaten here has always been really good

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!

We stopped in, the place was packed, the ambience was great, and the food was just wonderful. My wife is an extremely picky eater.

Drinks: I had an iced Vanilla Gorilla w/ oat milk & it defined what I look for in an iced latte - not too sweet, with a powerful punch!

They were average, hence the 4 stars. Fixed the need for a quick breakfast, but not sure I need another. Would gladly stop here again. Looked like several locals were gathered inside, several tables available, & the staff were very friendly!
