    Came in on a whim because who doesn't love a small town diner on a Sunday morning? S/O to the coffee guys who were on it with coming to the table with refills. Lots of options and great staff.

    Great service--fast and friendly! This place is a true old-school mountain diner, like stepping into a time warp from the 1970s (in the best way). The decor is retro and charming, and the food is exactly what you'd hope for: hearty, homestyle diner classics done right. If you're looking for a laid-back, nostalgic spot with good food and no frills, this is it.

    This is a hometown diner, a good place for breakfast. We were seated right away and servers came to our table quickly. I ordered the chicken fried steak breakfast. The eggs, hash browns, and toast were cooked perfectly. The steak was ok, but I've had better elsewhere. There was too much breading for my liking. I got gravy on the side and that was very flavorful. My husband got the pork chop breakfast and enjoyed it. Everyone was friendly and service was attentive.

    Fair warning, most of these businesses during the summer are going to be run by the local teenagers. I appreciate them working hard, but there is definitely room for improvement. I feel like there needs to be an adult supervising these students or someone who can guide them in running the restaurant more efficiently. We walked in and ended up being 3rd on the list (awesome!) and they stated it would only be about a 10min wait. Great. We went outside as the entryway is extremely small and can get crowded quickly. We started seeing other groups being seated that arrived after us. Sometimes they'll seat larger groups first, so I didn't think anything of it. Then the host came out with the pad of names and she was on the second page. That's when I knew something was off. I went to talk with her and she went back to the first page and EVERY name was crossed off,but mine. She apologized and we were seated next. We sat down and we were asked 3x by 3 different people whether or not we want something other than water. We continued to see this pattern for EVERY table. VERY inefficient and a waste of time when you have a line out the door. We were in a rush to get back to Denver so we only wanted our meal and to get out of there. I had a slice of french toast and hashbrowns ($3+$5) and my husband ordered the western omelette ($14). No extra drinks, no substitutions. The french toast was exactly what I needed and the hashbrown hit the spot. The omelette was what we expected. The check comes and it's hand written with our order with no prices, but a simple total of $27.05. Umm... 5+3+14 =22. Tax was about 9%, so at most it should be about $24-25. Not sure what they're charging us extra for. My husband just wanted to get out of this establishment, so I did not confront them about the random charge. On top of that, they do charge you the credit card fee (4%). I don't mind fees, but please DISCLOSE what I am paying for. In the end, our tab was $28.13 excluding tip. I personally was not pleased with all these hidden fees. There are a few other diners in town and I will be going to those restaurants over this one in the future.

    Very big portions of my meal. Coffee kept coming.. and loved the outside seating- as we had our pup with us.

    Breakfast burrito
    Ed D.

    I love the hometown decor of this place, very old fashioned and inviting. The service was top notch and our waitress was so friendly. We ordered the breakfast burrito and the omelette. Both were so tasty. Prices were pretty reasonable. My friend lives in Gunnison and said this is her favorite breakfast place so that factored in my review.

    Breakfast burrito smothered with chili verde.  Extremely low cal.

    Worst cup of coffee in Colorado, and the waitress acted offended I had even been born. Food was pretty good though.

    What a find! We were road tripping through the area on our way to Boulder and found this excellent…read morelittle local food truck. Everything was so fresh and tasty. 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!
