Why is everyone so cranky? The food is good but the staff is definitely not happy to be there. Glum facial expressions don't promote a happy place. They make you feel like they're disappointed you showed up. While taking your order, they start walking back to the kitchen before you're done telling them what you want. read more

Ordered one biscuit and gravy, hashbrowns and bacon. Biscuit was overcooked, it was crunchy! Bacon was very overcooked, thought it was beef jerky. Hashbrowns and coffee was good read more

Clean, unfussy greasy spoon diner with good, friendly service all around. There is a salad bar, and breakfast is served all day. I had the denver omelet, hashbrowns, and bacon, which were classic and delicious, but the star of the show was the biscuit and gravy. read more

Me and my family love to come here but recently when we come here we get stared at by the boss, who im assuming is staring cause were native, my nephew is a loud mouth and i know that but i told him to keep him calm and keep it down since the "boss" loves to stare at loud natives, my nephew kept his calm and wasnt loud but that didnt stop him from staring at us, I dont like eating there anymore not when he's there. The waiter we had was literally the sweetest, love the morning staff as well but the afternoon staff seem to have attitude, I will take my business to burger boy from now on, they have better burgers anyway read more

I don't mind a dive sort of place, as long as the food is good. Colorado is a bit scary the people are nice. Don't know why the low rating, I see no reason for it. Just a crew of hard working people working for a living.. Reminds me of Hope Alaska, visions of First Blood Running through my head. read more

Great food here and wonderful staff. Enjoyed breakfast very much. We come from California and your restaurant was a true delight.

They are adamant about offering decaf coffee. I guess they don't need the extra income. Or just lazy.​

This place has such good food BUT unfortunately, the " patriots" have found a home here, unfortunately some of the worst racists/haters i have seen. It's too bad because unlike JFargos, the food is actually good. Principal alone,will make that my last dining experience here. I will never support hatred read more

On a long road trip, we were looking for just a good cup of coffee. This location calls itself a coffee shop. We were met by a pleasant young man who quickly brought us two large cups of black coffee - just what we wanted. We paid, walked to the car, and pulled out of the lot only to discover that the coffee was barely warm and tasted like yesterday's brew. I have never, ever been handed such a cool cup of coffee. This place is a restaurant - which, from the looks of the food coming out of the kitchen, like it serves pretty tasty comfort food and it was quite busy. But .... THIS IS NOT a coffee shop. It is a restaurant that serves substandard coffee. Horrible coffee. read more

Found this breakfast place after traveling through on a trip. This is a family restaurant, food was very good! The quality of the desert was crazy good for the money. Service was ok. Would eat here again. read more

The outside screams don't go in. The inside screams turn around. I was an idiot and ate here. The water tastes like it came from the toilet. The food was small portions and not very good. The potato salad was disgusting. Even my son couldn't consume his beverage. The service was poor. More concerned about socializing than working. Even had to ask for the items missing from our order. read more

Great service and very good food! This restaurant is our new favorite breakfast spot. Love the ranch style of the restaurant. It fits right into the area. Good value too! Can't believe we hadn't stopped in before! read more

Today is Mother's Day. I went to lunch after church with a group of friends, two of which are elderly. We told the waitress we would have 5-7. She said the wait for the large table was 35-40 minutes and we could not push tables together. Not a problem. We took two 4 tops and sat down. She brought us menus but never took our order. When we asked, she said they were not going to serve us because they told us we would have to wait. We decided this was unacceptable because there were other people who arrived after us being served. There were open tables so we were not causing other patrons to not be seated or served. We took our business elsewhere. Won't go back. read more

The best service ever. Not the most amazing food but it works if you are looking for a satisfying local breakfast restaurant.

I called tonight (08/13/2022) to place an order and she told me to "hold", for an hour and three minutes? The gal that answered the phone obviously kept checking to see if I was still waiting. I was. And you could hear the phone was placed back down. She was talking to Vicki or is Vicki cause I kept hearing that name. They had a conversation about how she owed the IRS (2000.00) money and she probably wouldn't get the 750 from the state of Colorado. You know, if you don't want to work with the public? Go work somewhere else. I'll definitely be telling folks about my experience and to STAY AWAY. read more

Stopped here with 18-wheeler- by the way they have plenty of room for parking. Service was great! Had chicken fried steak with real mashed potatoes and gravy. A meal that sometimes upsets my stomach because it is too greasy. Not here it was perfect fresh and not dripping in grease! Great meal! One meal plenty fir two! read more

Been coming here for years and always order the green chile: best I've ever had in 33 years of trucking all over the country read more

My dad loves the Ute Coffee Shop. And I admit it has a cool appear as a sort of truck stop type diner. It's part of the Ute Native American region. I've been here twice, but can only review this latest visit as it is fresh in my head. I had the Ute Burger Special for about $8 which was ham and a burger and swiss cheese, along with the usual lettuce/pickle stuff, and potato salad (or fries). My dad ate something pretty fattening and fried, but I forget what it was, and his girlfriend ordered up a Mexican plate with tacos and some chips and salsa (the salsa was tasty; chips just felt like they were bagged). It's decent really. Not outstanding. It's what you expect- not the best food ever, not the freshest type ingredients, but you are guaranteed a good meal. The pies are DELICIOUS read more

After a rough night I really needed something simple yet perfect and Ute delivered. I was one of the first people in there as they opened up and the food was perfect and what i needed.

I wasn't fazed when we wandered in and discovered this place was last decorated during the Johnson Administration, possibly by LBJ himself given all the signs urging folks to "Eat More Beef" and the cattle-brand stencil border. No, I love a good truck stop, where you sit on bockety vinyl seats and feast on hearty, homey fare. Ute's gets the environment right, but the food here misses by a mile. I knew I was in trouble when I sat down and ordered grapefruit juice and was informed they only serve apple and orange. Which is fine, but the menu doesn't offer apple, and does list grapefruit, v8, and tomato so either they don't manage their supply very well or their menu needs updating, too. I ordered a ham and cheese omelet thinking it was a safe choice - how do you screw up eggs? Here's how: overstuff it with rubbery, flavorless cheese, and serve it with a side of not-crispy, lukewarm hash browns. Others in my group liked their meals better, so the French toast may be a good option. The coffee wasn't very good either but there was a waitress whose sole function seemed to be walking a circuit and topping off everyone's cup, so points for that. Our waitress was friendly enough and the place is full of locals, so there may be more here than meets the eye. A glance inside the truly terrifying pie case, though, suggests they may just be there for the company. read more

I ordered a rib steak it was only 1/4 inch think and had no flavor. The soda had no carbonation in it. The building was muggy and hot with flys everywhere read more

Then we get the ck,ANOTHER big surprise,the GRATUITY was already included. DO NOT EAT HERE!!!)-: read more

Food was awesome, service was even better. Geraldine is a joy. I got the Mexican Combo. Wow! A LOT of food! Let me also state that it was goood!

When we get back on our feet again, this will be a regular stop for my family. read more

Just another greasy spoon diner. I've always driven by and wondered how it would be. Ordered the double bacon mushroom cheeseburger with fries. I wasn't disappointed. Food came out fast and the waitress was very nice. Kept my Coke refilled. The food isn't great but it's not bad either. My only comment was I stopped in for a late lunch and was stared down by everyone who was over 60, which in this case was everyone in the place. Felt a little awkward! I'll come back but I won't be a regular. read more
