Not many restaurants get 5 stars, but this one does! The tamale breakfast is excellent. My husband stole a bite from my plate and then he "moaned". WOW. It was that good! I ordered a side of grits, because thats my favorite thing to order anywhere. For the first time ever, I forgot about my grits ( and they were really good too). Anyways, my husband had the Denver omelette, which he said is in his top running. The service was nice and the atmosphere was cozy with a full restaurant of families, small groups and couples. Needless to say, I recommend that you stop here if you are in the overall Aspen Colorado area. read more

Check up the place on the way, food is Mexican style, big portions Service: hard to say, server is nice, but finally my order is not as what I want, so I cannot fully enjoy my food Ambiance: big restaurant, maybe vintage style? read more

No frills, quick and easy breakfast while on the road. There are several options from typical breakfast to omelet etc., pancakes and so on. We chose the basic breakfast with 2 eggs, home fries, choice of sausage link and choice of toast. Every table has its own homemade jam so yes, it was so so good. Coffee was good, kept being refilled when throughout the time we were there; not very strong but they do carry the sugar in the raw so it's a winner in my book. Service was fast and those ladies do a great job managing the tables and traffic. The restaurant is very homey; takes you back to having breakfast at your grandmas home. Most of the clientele here is regulars because the servers know everyone by first name. That's a great touch from a service perspective. One thing though: cash or check only. They do have an ATM on site so keep that in mind if you do want to pull cash out (both your bank and this machine ($2.50) may charge you to use an ATM outside of network). There is an Alpine Bank ATM across the street as well if that works best for your needs. read more

Two Rivers Cafe - Basic breakfast scrambled eggs, sausage links, fries and white toast (yummy toast with the jam they have on the tables) - American Near Me - Basalt, Colorado

Swoon-worthy! On the advice of our server, I got the chicken tamale breakfast (comes with eggs and beans). They make their tamales in-house, and they were fantastic! My husband had the huevos rancheros (which I had the 1st time we ate here, and can attest they are delish!). This is our go-to whenever we are in the Aspen area. This is located in downtown Basalt, and I can't recommend it enough. The staff are also super personable! ****they only take cash, but there's an ATM literally across the street (the one in the restaurant was out of order) read more

That cash or check only thing is really annoying. Half portion is as good as a regular full portion, tbh. Still a lot of food. I think my favorite was the cinnamon swirl pancake. It really did not need any syrup because it was already sweet enough. Coffee service was a little slow even though it was not a very busy morning. read more

At first glance, this looks like a typical dumpy greedy spoon type diner. And it is, but the food was good and the service fast (even though they had just gotten slammed). So long as your expectations of what this place is (and what it is not) you can have an enjoyable time. read more

I got the huevos rancheros and added green chili. It was delicious! It needed more green chili and more kick, but they only had Tabasco at my table and that didn't fit the bill for me. Coffee was great and they kept my cup full. It was a good breakfast and it was fairly fast as well. Complaint: this place is cash only. I'm not going to dock stars for this because service and food was good. But damn! I keep running into this near small ski towns. It's not a huge deal especially as they have an ATM, but come on now! It's 2018! I can pay with my phone at most places. I hate carrying cash and I really don't want to pay your ATM fee. Merchant services is not all that expensive nowadays and is pretty critical for a business. Rant over. read more

Our breakfast at this cafe on a Monday morning took an hour and 45 minutes because - we had to wait to be seated, wait for menus after being seated, wait for our food and wait for our bill. My wife chose the breakfast special that included a pair each of eggs, bacon and French toast. I opted for a 3 egg Spanish omelet with green chili and cheese that was topped with salsa and came with hash browns and an English muffin. My wife's breakfast turned out to be pretty good while mine was a disappointment. Management's cash only policy coupled with the protracted commitment in time and locals served first policy relegates this restaurant to one and done status. read more

Great food! Cinnamon pancake is world class. Only thing I would let ya know is it's cash only. Great local spot.

Had a late breakfast here on a Monday. First off, thank you for being open on Mondays!! Great breakfast menu. The Juevos Rancheros were the best I've ever had. read more

We needed a small bite to eat and came across this gem. Our waitress, the owner's daughter, was amazing. Super personable and fun to talk to. We ordered steak quesadillas and a cup of posole. I almost tried the mahi mahi tacos, but sadly, it was frozen (please don't serve frozen food). The quesadillas were really good and filling with a jalapeno tortilla (flavorful but not spicy). The posole was a star but we got the last cup and it needed to be hot (unfortunately served warm). I would pop by again for a quick inexpensive bite. We sat in the back patio and it was quiet and lovely. I don't think i would sit inside. read more

We had breakfast one morning before a day of fishing. The staff was super friendly, the food came out quick and was very good. Large portions that set us up for a long day. I had a chorizo and cheese omelet and my son had pancakes. We both really enjoyed it and could barely finish them. Great place to start a long adventurous day in or around Basalt. read more

The food was typical breakfast. The waitresses were all hustling, but they seemed really miserable and made us feel like a nuisance asking for things. I hate Leaving bad reviews but it was just not a good experience. read more

Eater beware. I have eaten here a few times for breakfast and it's fine nothing special. However every time I have lunch here I get violent food poisoning. I have tried ordering different items as still find myself hugging the porcelain. read more

We came on a busy Monday morning. They were short staffed with a new server in training, but the staff was super friendly and patient the entire time. The cook even came out to take our order so we weren't waiting very long to get our food. Excellent service and suuuuper impressed by the team work. Other places would've made you wait over an hour for food. I would for sure recommend after our experience. Food was also amazing! read more

Delicious breakfast and so glad I found this place! Off the beaten path but only by 5 minutes. Well worth it for the "world famous" cinnamon pancakes and Denver omelette (add cheddar and diced green chiles)! Feels like a place the locals hang out and I would too if I was a local! read more

Great old-style American restaurant in old-town Basalt, which is worth a look on its own.

Great place. I ordered the Tamale breakfast. My wife had scrambled eggs and English muffins. Food was very good. The place was very busy. The staff was hustling. They kept checking in on us. Despite the crowd, the order arrived quickly. read more

I enjoyed breakfast here on Sunday 9/9. Chicken tamales with scrambled eggs and refried beans. Absolutely delicious, I ate every bite! The tamales were covered with a savory & spicy salsa. Mouthwatering! Waitress was very attentive. Fun atmosphere, definitely a family style place. I'd come here again for sure, they had some other items on the menu I need to try. read more

A great hangover cure. The service was great, the coffee was hot, the food so-so. I had the Benedict and the hollandaise was pretty tangy and a little more sour than I prefer. One of the eggs was cooked perfectly; the other pretty well overdone. I tried some huevo rancheros from a friends plate, fantastic! Get that. Otherwise the rest of everything looked pretty standard for breakfast. Not the best food ever, but good and reasonably priced for what it is. If I lived here I would eat at two rivers regularly. read more

Well let's see what can I say nothing good unfortunately since I was so excited to try this place So two servers for one place not as busy but maybe 8 tables so I sat myself. No menu or acknowledgment till 5min after. Which I was waiting nicely then I finally got a menu and Water etc. got another 5-8min but server never got back to me, server went to check on another table and she was having a full convo with them, I thought she'd then come to me but no never came to me. Then she went on to pick up a phone order and the other server she didn't even want to look at me, so I knew then I was never going to get any service, I walked out nicely. I was trying to be respectful but I felt uncomfortable and knew they didn't want my money for my brunch so I walked away. Never again read more

Fried steak was awesome, gravy & potatoes also. Witnessed a lady sitting across from us open 12 brand new pill bottles and taking the cotton out one by one, until all the bottles had been opened. Then she downs a combination of the pills in one handful. Never actually saw her order food. Must be real serious about her vitamins... read more

Food was not very good. We had the fried chicken, steak sandwich and enchiladas. Enchiladas tasted like canned food. Rice was under cooked. Fried chicken was over breaded. Steak sandwich was not actually a sandwich but just a steak. Very disappointing. Will not return. Server was very friendly and helpful. Service was good. read more

Service was pretty good. Flirty waitress made it fun. The omelette wasn't bad. But not accepting credit cards in today's community is just foolish.
