I'm updating my review because I've been back several times since my first visit, and a few things…read morehave changed. When I first came here, the food was excellent but the service was... not. The place was busy -- maybe a dozen tables plus bar seating, and about 80% full -- but even with a busboy helping, the waiter/operator barely paid me any attention. Maybe it was the beard and the autumn work attire, maybe it was just bad timing, but I felt pretty ignored overall. I was so irritated that I only tipped fifty cents -- and that's saying something, because I always tip well. Fast forward to now: he's much better. It seems like he may have seen my original review (the 4-star one) and wasn't thrilled about it. Still, to his credit, the service has definitely improved, and the food remains phenomenal. On my return visits, I've tried the Western Omelette (pro tip: ask for it with their jalapeño cream cheese for a delicious kick!) and, for the first time ever, chicken and waffles. Both were fantastic -- and honestly, I'll probably never order chicken and waffles anywhere else again. Still, I always find myself coming back for the huevos rancheros. Funny story: I asked the owner/waiter about their huevos rancheros recipe. He told me it's been in the family for 45 years. The ingredients are surprisingly simple -- nothing fancy, not even cumin -- so either he's guarding a well-kept family secret, or his father, the cook, has simply perfected the art of turning ordinary ingredients into something extraordinary. As far as ambience, this place is just an ordinary, mountain diner. I love their floor though, and I would like to replicate it in the next cabin I build.

Overall, overall the best sit down breakfast place in this area and I has another great experience.

The restaurant part of the Silver Cliff Mountain Inn is known as Willie's! At first we were…read moresomewhat confused, however, I am really glad we sorted it out!!! Our breakfast was nothing short of fabulous!!! My wife ordered the Red Velvet waffles that had scrambled eggs and bacon on the side. I ordered the Eggs Benedict that was smothered in Hollandaise sauce and hash browns - not something that you will get at home on a regular basis. WOW!!! Both entrees were so good that it will have us coming back for more!! We had the privilege of meeting Willie as he was working the crowd. As we travel around the country, I find that if the manager/owner is working the crowd it's bound to be a great place - for sure in this case with Willie's. I told him that I call that "Leadership On Duty"!!! Three staff members also worked our table. Bow, Terri, and Summer, each had a division of duties and, as a result, we were really taken care of. The ambience was truly out of the western small town mode - clean, efficient service, and fabulous food. Four cups of the best coffee and a full stomach and was time to hit the road back home. Give Willie's a try as you will not be disappointed. Be sure to say "hi" to Willie, Bow, Terri, and Summer - they are the best.

Made the trip out with a couple of my no good grown kids. Looks like they just added on a new dining room area. Later on a weekend night, not busy, we were seated right away...and then I felt like the waitresses must have been fighting about who would wait on us because more than five minutes later, was just about at the point where I was thinking about hitting the road, when someone finally came up and waited on our table. Not like the waitresses weren't waiting on other people, it's just no one was waiting on us. Anyway after that, the service was pretty good except at the end where it took awhile to get the check. Food was good. I got the chicken fried steak and it was pretty good. Breading didn't crack away from the steak, the sides were good, and the gravy was really good. Salad was simple but also really good. Others got the pub steak, and I think one of the burritos. All said the food was good. We all got some bread pudding to go which was really good later on. Other than the service blip, it was all good. Another place I would return to.

I've been here 3 times, and each time has been bad. Pros: I always get seated right away because no one is here. That's it. Cons: Rude service. The servers act like they don't want to be there. They are always out of what seems like half the menu. The juices are watered down. Luckily only once, but the hash browns were so overcooked I asked for less cooked ones and got soggy hashbrowns. It's a shoot to see if they have food on hand. You never see a manager walking around. The manager doesn't know how to prepare for the day's food. Always shorthand. Recommended? No. Village Inn and Cracker Barrel has better food and you know the menu will be stocked. I'm done coming here. I'll continue going to the Springs location because I always know I'll get what I want to order.

We've been wanting to try Black Bear and finally had the chance last weekend. When we got there…read morearound 1:30pm on a Sunday we were told the wait would be 35 minutes, while not ideal we decided to wait it out. It ended up being only 10 minutes to our surprise which was great! However, once we got seated that's when the real wait started. It took foreverrr to get our food. I'm not sure why because the restaurant wasn't that busy. Our waitress was a little odd and wasn't that great at communicating to the point where we were speaking for her just to help her out. I think a little confidence training would go a long way. Our meals finally came out and when they did I was told to my surprise they didn't have any more crispy chicken for my salad. I think telling me as our food came out wasn't the move, as maybe I would have picked something else? Either way the waitress told me I was getting grilled chicken and that was that. For a place that specializes in home cooked meals I don't think running out of chicken fingers is ideal for business. However, my salad was very big and fresh despite the chicken conundrum and I was only able to finish maybe 1/3 of it. My husband had the fried chicken, which should have been amazing, however the breading was really thick and the chicken was funny. You know how that is when the chicken is just weird - that's how it was. He also had homestyle potatoes because they didn't have mashed potatoes (also strange) and they were not good. They were mostly burnt and had a funny taste. Overall I think this place may have potential however the service and the cooks in the back have some work to do. I think for tourists passing through looking for a home cooked meal this place will do the trick, but for locals looking for a place to eat I'd pick somewhere else. Pro tip - the hot sauces on the table are pretty good!
