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.

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.

The atmosphere has that old-school diner vibe -- simple, comfortable, and very hometown. The food was solid and portions were generous.

We had a hearty breakfast in pictures above - Service was friendly and familiar, which is what you expect in a small-town staple. Like any busy local diner, timing can vary depending on the rush, but overall it's a dependable stop if you're in Trinidad and looking for a no-frills meal with a local feel. Would definitely stop in again.

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 ordered the Popper Burger, which comes with two jalapeño poppers right inside the burger. It definitely has a little kick if you like spicy food, and the burger itself was incredibly juicy and delicious. Honestly, it was one of the best burgers I've ever had, and that's coming from someone from Los Angeles, where there are no shortage of amazing burger places. I also tried the banana cream pie shake, and wow... it was one of the best milkshakes I've ever had. It was so good that every time we went back, I ordered the exact same meal. No regrets! I also have to give a huge shoutout to the staff. There were around 20 of us from the fire crew ordering at the same time, and they got all of our food out quickly without missing a beat. Great food, excellent service, and a place I'd absolutely recommend if you're anywhere near the area.

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.
