Similar to others, one star is generous. Dirtiest restaurant I've ever been in. Table sticky and gross. Floor sticky and filthy as if it had not been mopped in quite some time. Window had some sort of grease hand print amongst the stack of dead flies. Flies outnumbered the patrons five to one. Service was terrible once they finally took our order. Food served cold and overcooked. Waited so long to pay I was actually about to walk out. Never saw waitress again after she dropped off food. Cook was more concerned about chatting at the bar then getting hot food out. People next to us were informed they had run out of burgers, homemade fries and the pork...at lunch time! Avoid at all costs.

I live in the area, have been there a dozen or more times and love the food. But the service is ALWAYS slow. They just don't seem to staff it enough and have a lot of "called in sick" issues. The food IS good though. And the atmosphere is fun. If you can catch them at a slow time you'll enjoy the meal. If the service improves so will my rating. Just can't consistently wait like that and give them a good rating.

It's a charming place with a great view. My best friend's chocolate chip pancakes were good; my raisin bread French toast was also good. But they nickel and dime you. We came here for breakfast on our way to Eldora. It's very convenient as it is right on the main road, next to the Nederland Town Hall. The area has an old, small town feel. The restaurant itself was cute but still folksy. A couple of locals who were chatting greeted us when we walked in. So I like the place. Except the food selection. Whistler's has a list of 10 or so breakfast items on their regular menu. However, whereas most places would have some sort of carb (pancake, waffle, etc) plus a side (potatoes, meat), meat selection (bacon, sausage) and eggs, Whistler's "special" only had carb plus meat. The selection wasn't really very special. The food items that should be grouped together were not. It would have been easier (and cheaper?) if they just had it a la carte. The muffin meals looked more promising and had a lot more stuff. If you are a pancake, eggs, and bacon type of gal or guy, you would have to put it together yourself. Lastly, beware of the regular local lady who can talk to you for hours and not get a hint that you have to go even if you are standing up and holding on to your belongings.

Good food. Good service. Friendly staff. We were there for lunch on a Saturday. We enjoyed are visit.

Horrible. Beer was flat. No toilet paper in restrooms and paper towels as confetti all over the floor. No cooks showed in order to actually eat but we weren't told until AFTER we ordered our drinks and sat waiting wondering why no one has received any food. Waitress looked sloppy with sweatpants and stains. Not good in any way.

It's a sad, sad day when a formerly wonderful greasy spoon goes under. I've given them three chances since their downturn started and each time I've tried to make excuses for them, and in return, each time they've gotten worse and worse. My dad and I walked in today at around 11 and sat down at a table. (There are about 8 tables in the whole place.) We waited for ten minutes for someone to bring us a menu. Instead, the two waitresses on duty wiped tables, filled syrup jugs, and talked to their friends. Eventually my dad got up, walked over to the waitress station, and asked for menus. The waitress said to him, 'Oh, you sat at the dirty table!'... like it was our fault. Then she and the other waitress loudly argued with each other: 'I thought it was your table!' 'Well, I thought it was YOUR table!' From that point on our service was passable, nothing more, nothing less. The food came out hot, for once, but the avocado on my Mountain Muffin was brown. Like... really brown. Like... why would you open an avocado, see this color, and serve it to a customer brown. It was inedible. I took it off and put it aside, but its taste had already seeped into the English muffin. Too bad, because the rest would have been really good. The Bob's special's gravy has lost all its spice. It is now average biscuits and gravy, which you can get anywhere in Boulder or Denver. Food was three stars, service was one star, average: two stars. Before their downturn, I would take the N bus up there on a weekend and deal with its stupid schedule just for a meal of biscuits and gravy. Now... well, I wouldn't even drive up.

Everything you'd want in a small town cafe -great burger and cheesesteak -good value -great beer -super nice server

I'm really surprised to see that this place only has a two star rating! The waitress they have now (I think her name is Kara) is absolutely fantastic. She's attentive to your needs without being in your face. Last time I was there I watched her bring the man at the next table extra hot water for his tea after he'd finished his first cup, bit before he'd even thought to ask for more. He was thrilled. She saw me checking out the jelly selection for my toast, and asked if I wanted more strawberry, since I had set one strawberry packet aside. Always keeps my coffee full (and hot) and is so, so friendly. The good is good (not great) but its a diner! I actually find it better than you'd expect :) try the mountain muffin. The

Service was great, food came quickly, and the food quality was great. The Mountain Muffin is awesome! This place is great. Seems to have turned around from the past reviews.
(5)Eric A.
After a long period of mis-management, Whistler's is back with former owners from 20 years ago that helped make it what is was back then. Want to grab a hearty breakfast or lunch? Stop by this great mountain town locale for a delicious meal served with a smile.
(4)Annette F.
Had a delightful lunch here today. Excellent service, beautiful views, scrumptious food. Can't ask for more!
(5)Michelle C.
The Whistler is back under original ownership! It has been returned to its original great quality. I went on a Saturday morning and had a small crowd. The place was clean and bright. Service was prompt and friendly. I ordered a Mountain Muffin and mimosa. Both were delicious! The Mountain Muffin came with a large side of hashbrowns that were cooked perfectly - a little crunchy, not too greasy. The mimosa was a delightful treat and had fresh orange juice. Price was reasonable and my server was very attentive. The older reviews were accurate at the time, but now outdated. Under the guidance of the original owners, this place has been brought back up to a high standard. Give them a try.

I'm gonna' go out on a limb here. There was a Groupon for Whistlers so I drove my visiting mom up to Nederland for a taste of "Mountain Life." We were NOT disappointed. The groupon was for $30 - we weren't sure how we'd spend that much there - until we saw flatiron steak on the menu for 11.95 - score. After a trip to the kitchen we were told they were out of steak (and tuna melts and bbq pork). Hmmm, we both ordered the philly cheese steak for 8.95 and paid $2 extra for onion rings. Both were delicious. The bun was slightly toasted and there was a decent portion of beef, peppers and onions. If I were a big guy it may not have been enough. The onion rings were a beer battered - and were crunchy and sweet and just the way an onion ring should be. Their iced tea was fresh and refreshing and our waitress kept it full the whole time. The staff was super attentive to us - met our every need - this is the point in a review where if I were the reader I'd wonder if this author was a relative of the owners. Nope - we just really liked this place. It's painted super cute and has a quirky but neat ambiance. Seating is picnic tables - not my fave - but just fine. It's definitely worth the gorgeous drive to get there.
(4)Rob B.
Food good. Service TERRIBLE. 20 mins to take our order. 50 mins to get food. After reading the other reviews this seems to be an ongoing problem that they don't care to fix. It's been over 20 years since we haven't left a tip. Today, we reset that clock and left with out providing a gratuity.
(1)Erica D.
If you want to eat do not waste your time coming here. I ordered a hot dog because I was starving and needed the food fast, 30 minutes later after I still had not received, it I just left. This is really disappointing as I live nearby and I'm already limited on places to eat.
(1)Deb D.
I am thrilled with the new management at "Whistlers" - they are a local couple who take pride in their business. I was there for their Grand Opening a week or so ago; and this Sunday when they were packed full of happy patrons. They served up great food, had very attentive service and tasty Mimosas. A wonderful addition to the restaurants of Nederland!!
(5)Wes S.
I'm so happy for the couple that bought Whistlers recently! They had worked here years ago and have recreated the food, atmosphere and feeling of the old Whistlers from years ago. My wife says she had the best biscuits and gravy in years. My food was excellent, and the service was warm and light. I will be going back again...
(5)Mickey P.
My wife and I were told that there was a great cafe that we must check out while in Nederland, colorado. Too bad we didn't remember the name of that cafe when we got to this town. Unfortunately we picked this place and it was awful and overpriced for the portion sizes. I chose the the #1 breakfast combo; eggs, hash browns and toast. Now right here you be surprised that you could screw this order up, but they did. I got my daughters raisin toast on my plate and when they did bring my wheat toast it was dry as bone, no butter, no jam. My daughters sunny side eggs were so runny she needed to scrape off the uncooked, runny egg white to be able eat it. Her pancakes were cold....cold pancakes? How? I don't even want to guess. My wife ordered a sandwich with chips and her plate came with a mound of tiny pieces of potato chips from the bottom of the bag covered by 4 really big chips, I swear, I'm not making this up, I was like it this some kinda of joke place! But my wife did want to make a fuss as it was our kids last night on town. Here's some more...I was only going to get eggs and toast, $4, but then decided, for $2 more I'll get hash browns. I got four bites of cold, greasy, unseasoned hash browns for my $2, a total rip off! My son got a beef sandwich and added their home style fries, which were just cubed pieces of potato, deep fried with no seasoning, and again, for the extra $2 bucks got totally ripped off. His meal alone was $11...for some maybe 4 ounces of plain sliced beef on a hot dog bun and a 1/2 clip portion of fries cube things. I also notice that while we were waiting for our food, another table got there food and I saw plates being sent back to the kitchen from their table too. Back and forth the server Another group seemed to be waiting to pay for a long time and we're also getting pretty frustrated. On the whole, bad, bad, bad choice in dining for our evening. I would avoid this disappointment. I hope you find this helpful.
(1)Nik F.
AVOID. A restaurant that just doesn't care. Filthy, mediocre microwaved food, servers that couldn't be bothered to attend to customers. Tables were left un-cleared for hours (during which we waited increasingly impatiently for our food). Food came just seconds before we were going to leave. Wish we'd left beforehand. The "Mountain Burgers" at the grocery store across the street are excellent. I recommend you go there rather than to Whistlers.
(1)Dan E.
Mistake! Sat ourselves and were ignored by the individual behind the bar. After watching three employees do shots of Crown Royal finally received menus. After a few more shots an order was taken (we were not offered shots). Food was OK but the staff needs a wake up call. Perhaps they want to serve only their friends.
(1)Debbie C.
Don't eat here. Like another reviewer we sat there for at least 10 minutes without even being acknowledged. The food was terrible and the plate presentation was really sad. The burger was super dry and tasteless as were the sweet potato fries, which I suspect were out of an Orida bag. Gross. The tuna melt was on a hoagie. ?? And also less than good. I would rather eat at mcdonalds than this place again. Avoid!
(1)Sean H.
DO YOU REALLY, REALLY LIKE MARIJUANA? Let me start by saying, if you have the munchies, and you like to dine with people who have the munchies, and you want the people who are serving your food to have the munchies, then this is a five star establishment. You can stop reading now. Not that I have anything against people getting high, etc., I just think they should get high, or drunk, or whatever, on their own time and not be under the influence while on the job. If you've ever wondered what would happen if a nice-looking restaurant got turned over to a bunch of committed Dead Heads, this is that experiment live in action. HYGIENE Flies everywhere ... which is a little surprising because there are still a few spots on the fly paper that are blank. Dirty, dirty, dirty ... someone really needs to wash the floors one of these days. Curiously, we found that the restrooms were cleaner than the restaurant proper. That's a real mystery. COLORFUL CHARACTERS Someone could write a book with just the cast we saw in less than an hour. A few people who seem to be sort of hanging out with the staff, and in staff areas, but not actually working. One had a glittery cape! There's "Smokey" who looks like he's been fully baked, 24/7 since the 80s. He kept on smiling and nodding at nothing at all ... well, nothing that I could see. There's the bartender: I'm not a doctor so I can't diagnose what illness he had, but his excessive coughing (not to mention half-hearted efforts to cover his mouth) look exactly what I expect typhoid to look like. Or maybe whooping cough. Then there's the young woman with the three burly guys ... By their behavior and dress (not to mention facial tattoos), I can't imagine any of them holding down a regular job. So, are they "entrepreneurs" hanging out with their customers or might their families be subsidizing their laid-back lifestyle? THE FOOD The table behind us sent their food back for being cold. We tried to cancel our order at that point, but they promised it was coming right out, which was true ... but ... the egg was undercooked, as in raw, which is not what we wanted in an omelet. The fish and chips? I've never seen fish served in the shape of a potato wedge. So, it was sort of like a "fish chip."
(1)Kam T.
Under new management and I have to say, I am really excited. The "Mountain Muffin" is my all-time favorite breakfast! Its a delicious combination of perfectly cooked eggs, avocado, cheese and ham all on an English muffin. My husband gets corned beef hash instead of ham and is in heaven. The staff was great as well. Definitely will be going back.
(5)Tiki M.
This is the best breakfast place in the world! No kidding. I first ate there many years ago when I lived in Nederland. I went back last week and had my old favorite breakfast (mountain muffin) and it was as delicious as ever. The place was also clean and looked recently renovated. I read other yelp reviews that sound like the place went through a dark period, but I can attest to the fact that the new owners have made this place amazing again. I can't wait to go back and get another mountain muffin. Seriously, the place is amazing and you'll be lucky if you are in the area and get to eat there. I live far away and look forward to the day I can return.
(5)Jayson B.
Seems like they are still having the same problems they had in 2013! The flies are so bad here and they actually bite! OUCH! Service is nonexistent and it would probably take less time to drive to Vail to eat and come back then it does to get some food here. Overall one star is really generous to give them for their poor service, slow, dirty, overpriced establishment. I definitely should have looked up reviews before I went here unfortunately we just decided spur of the moment.
(1)Vilma C.
Place was light and airy. Food so so. Service staff was very friendly but had to wait quite a while for food. Not crowded - now we know why.
(2)Gene F.
Service okay but only one waitress for the whole restaurant. Seemed to be out of a lot of items. Asked for the pork sandwich but they were out. Ordered the burger with chips (burger was below ave). Person from the kitchen came our the tell me they were out of chips. Offered me nachos instead...didn't expect then to be the broken pieces from the bottom of the bag. Third time I was there and the last time. To many other cool little restaurants to choose from in the area.
(1)Alex M.
No pride to be found here! Food sucks, service suck, place is dirty. SO MANY FLIES! Just clueless! Can't beleive places like this can stay in Business. Save your money and skip this place, you'll be glad you did.
(1)Penny B.
Would not recommend. The glory burger and the blue cheese burger were bland, and the chili was bad tasting. The coffee and iced tea were so watered down they had no flavor. The waiter talked on his cell phone the whole time, even while waiting on us. Worst of all there was an older woman (owner?) who talked at the top of her lungs the entire time we were there. All in all a miserable experience.
(1)Carol S.
I've been eating at Whistler's since the mid-1980s. It was smaller then, but still had that same vibe, as we watched the cook shuttle off to the bathroom with his newspaper after cooking our eggs. I've tried it a few times over the last several years, and last time decided to take a friend. The service was incredibly slow, the food was mediocre, the portions were minuscule and I was frankly embarrassed for all parties involved. I have met some really nice people at Whistler's, though. We bond over the painfully bad service.
(2)Tanner C.
Came on a Saturday in summer. Place was full. Took over an hour to get our food. Extremely frustrating. Locals get preferential Treatment. If you are from out of town, you will come in for lunch and get your meal in time for dinner. Not how we wanted to spend out Saturday in the Mountains.
(1)Kim W.
This place is a complete dump. Years ago this was a great place to grab a bite and enjoy a fun town. I unfortunately had the opportunity to frequent this dive a week ago. OMG.... Raw food, staff obviously on drugs,filthy conditions and horrible experience. Avoid this hell hole.
(1)Margaret C.
We had a pleasant UYE (unofficial yelp event) recently at Whistler's. I remember going to this cafe once, so many years ago, the memory's a bit fuzzy, and because it burned down and was rebuilt since then, what I recall is not the current building! Around our table, people were trying lots of the menu's creative & hearty breakfast offerings. I got the breakfast burrito, which was tasty. I like that they serve vegetarian green chile...will order it on the side next time..for dipping. I got to taste a bit of biscuit & a bite of blueberry pancake (a-ok!) and as always the company of adventurous Yelpers who travelled all the way to Nederland (more than half of the group came from Denver!) for this feast was impressive... Afterward some of us, accompanied by Brady the dog, took a little hike along one edge of Barker Dam, which was fun.

1 star is too kind for this restaurant that sullies the term 'greasy spoon'. I went for the 4th and final time on a Sunday morning, and had a seat at the bar. The rough schedule was: 0:00 - Sit down 0:10 - Get a menu, ask for coffee 0:15 - Place order, get a cup of coffee 0:30 - Hopefully make eye contact with any/all waitstaff, wanting another cup of coffee. 0:45 - Witness the entire back of the house get poured bourbon shots to console them for being so busy this morning. It's 10:15 in the morning. 0:50 - Get a 2nd cup of coffee, no mention of food 1:00 - Start checking Twitter on the iPhone, and Yelp. Big mistake. 1:10 - Warn off 3 other couples sitting next to me that they shouldn't eat here, and that I'm about to walk out. 1:25 - Yelp reviews confirm everything I've experienced, literally as I stand up to walk out, my food comes. 1:30 - I got onion chunks on top of my chocolate chip pancakes. Not a solid flavor combo. 1:40 - No 3rd cup of coffee in sight, I corner a waitress with my credit card asking to pay. She begs off when the kitchen puts food up for her to deliver. 1:50 - Get the $10.00 bill 2:00 - Find someone to accept my credit card 2:05 - Get my card back, leave a sad note on the receipt, and get on with my mountain bike ride in Ned. Just awful. Alcoholic meth-mouth cooks and wait staff that don't appear to have ever been trained in life skills, let alone table service skills.
(1)Thighmaster M.
Good enough for a pre-hike, road-trip or ski breakfast - as long as the A staff is on... on occasion service can be slow and the food cold. 80% of the time we hit it just right.
(3)Ali A.
They had a banner for the best burger in town so I decided to give it a try. Burger tasted good, but the fries were awful and way to greasy as was the Service. I ordered a Blue Cheese Burger but got a Swiss Burger instead. The server was new but basic hygiene was lacking, he didn't wash his had after eating food, instead wiped his greasy hands on his jeans and served food to the people. The restaurant was swarmed with flies throughout the place and they were out of ketchup. The other catch is the deceitful Menu. The bold print of an upgrade charge for Onion Rings and Sweet Potato Fries, but anything besides there chips is a charge.
(1)Rob W.
Great local cafe. Service is friendly, but don't plan on a speedy breakfast (which is fine ... Who hurries in Nederland?). The Mountain Muffin is a tasty rustic take on Eggs Benedict, with fried eggs, ham, avocado and melted cheddar. Definitely recommended.
(4)Bob L.
I've held off on writing a review because things here have been so inconsistent. Now, that's changed. Service here is consistently bad - slow and uncaring. It took us 40 minutes to get 2 burgers in an empty dining room. We only got the food because i asked the waitperson if she would ask the cook to quit drinking coffee at the next table and get back in the kitchen. Then, after i asked for the check, it took 15 minutes to have it picked up and cashed out. The food is fine, even good - but just not worth the trouble. PS - I really don't like finding out that you pass the credit card charge onto your patrons AFTER I get the credit card receipt. Bye, bye... PS - Rule of thumb: the slower the season, the slower the service. Don't bother before Memorial Day or after Labor Day. In fact, don't bother at all.
(1)Kat A.
Best breakfast I've had to date in Colorado. All hail Hannah E. and her mighty reviews. I had a basic meal of eggs, bacon, and an english muffin. The bacon was insanely good. My husband tried ... I believe it was called "Bob's special." It was the biscuits and sausage gravy with eggs and maybe cheese. Regardless, he inhaled his plate of food. He was kind enough to pause his hoovering for a moment and allow me a taste of the sausage gravy and might I say, "It's about damn time, Colorado!" Finally! Good gravy! The decor was entertaining. There's a bar in the cafe and sketches of Jerry Garcia and Bob Marley are hung prominently in spots of honor high above it on either side. The servers are laid back and more than a little of the hippy persuasion. The general clientele seemed made up of bohemians - folks struck up conversations between tables with ease and there was always someone to watch with interest. Oh, and if ogling your neighbors isn't your thing, they had soccer games playing on the two or three different flat screens hung in the place. The whole place just oozed a great vibe. The food was delicious, the people were kind without being cloying, and our meal was totally affordable - one of the cheapest breakfasts we've had in some time. And it didn't hurt that we had a beautiful drive as part of the package, too.
(5)Penelope B.
Fair. We were there at lunchtime and though it was not terribly crowded, service was awfully slow and not terribly friendly. Perhaps locals who know the servers get better service? Seemed that way. My order was inaccurate and after attempting to flag down our server several times (doesn't it tick you off when you're sitting right in the line of sight for servers coming from the line and they seem to refuse to acknowledge your existence?) I finally got her attention and she rectified it, without an apology. Then the item was added to my bill, though it was a free option for the sandwiches. She was gracious in removing it, but still, having to go tell her about the error added to my pique. Food wise - fair. Overly toasted toast for the BLT, and very fatty bacon. As in strips of non-crispy fat. Eww. And I really like bacon. But not strips of barely cooked fat. Regular fries, not so good. Sweet potato fries, good. Friend's green salad looked pretty good. I figured I'd give this place a try as I'm trying out a new Ned place almost weekly these days. But, as a friend says, it's a likely tourist trap for people who don't know better, with its brightly painted exterior and pleasing facade. If I had to go there again I would attempt a breakfast offering. Those seem to get better reviews? But the service, hmmpf. This is NOT a Ned trait. Most places are quite friendly and not overly slow. On the plus side, the bathroom was quite clean.
(1)Jason M.
What can I say. While we were there, I bore witness to numerous employees with meth mouth, was nearly hit with a flying dish rag as I came out of the restroom, and paid too much for a hamburger that I would expect to eat at a high school carnival.The burger was obviously cooked by someone who's unaccustomed to cooking meat- we ordered two medium rares and a medium, and what we ate was more like shoe leather.
(1)Justin M.
I really wanted to like this place, as in Boulder (where I live) all the diners close at 2PM. I made my way up to Ned and decided to stop in to try their breakfast fare as they serve breakfast all day. It looked like a nice and comfortable place, and their menu is priced well with lots of options. The server was more than friendly enough, and the food was decent. So why only two starts? Because I was swarmed by no less than two dozen flies while trying to eat my food. They were everywhere, including crawling over the bar soda fountain and window by the kitchen It was like trying to eat in the middle of a land fill. I am not someone who complains about a fly or two landing on my food, but this was beyond tolerable. I mentioned to the server that they need to put out some fly traps, and he apathetically said it was because of the late spring, but now that I read about the nasty dumpster in one of the previous reviews I know where they all come from. This place really seems to have potential, but I have to question how sanitary such a place really is, and therefore feel generous granting them even two stars.
(2)Ariel H.
I wanted to write a good review because this place is cute and cheery and has a small-town vibe. But the food just doesn't do it for me. The first time I went I was brought something other than what I ordered after a very long wait. It really shouldn't take 30 minutes to make a grilled cheese with tomato and avocado. Also, when I go out to a restaurant, I expect food more interesting than something I would make at home when I'm lazy on a Friday night. This isn't it. Last time I went, I got a veggie sub that tasted like feet-- I'm guessing either the olives or the mushrooms were a little past their prime.
(2)Liz S.
If I could rate Whistler's less than one star, I would. We stopped in yesterday for a quick breakfast before going to frozen dead guy days, and had the WORST service I have ever experienced. First, we got our food- which included "blackened" home fries, and some "non-toast". Apparently, these are two of Whistler's specialties. I wanted to ask for their secret recipe, but then it came to me- fry potatoes, don't season them at all, then let them age for 3 weeks. Then put pre-sliced bread on top; no toaster required. We also had the mountain muffin, which was good but should have either come with two of them, or been half the price. Basically, my six year old's kid pancake was the only decent thing we ordered. On top of that, we were completely ignored the entire meal, no doubt because our waitress was too embarrassed to show her face. If I could have tipped less than 15% I would have- unfortunately, their little iPad card swiper wouldn't allow that. Overall, the most pathetic excuse for hospitality I've ever witnessed.

As my husband and I sat there, after reading the ad in Yellow Scene.......his comment was..."If this is the best burger on the Peak to Peak, we're in some serious trouble!" Talk about false advertising!!! A party of 6 left and gave us the "Good Luck" sign. The service was incredibly slow and the sliders were hockey pucks! The kitchen ran out of buns and onion rings and God knows what else. The fries were cold and the bathrooms filthy. Apparently they'd run out of towels, so a roll of paper towels was just placed on the sink in the Ladies. Real???? All this on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. What a disappointment and completely over-priced. The fact that the staff uses the patio as their own personal hang out is less than appealing.......especially when unsuspecting customers are looking for seating outside and are requested to check with the Staff inside to determine availability. If you're not working..........go hang somewhere else. You're not doing the business any favors. We will have family coming in town in the near future and definitely WILL NOT make this a stop during our travels. I'd rather wait in line somewhere else then endure the debacle we had at this establishment. Too bad they can't get it together with summer winding down and foliage soon to be upon us. Be aware and don't waste your time or $$$.
(1)Nils M.
So bad it was funny. Watching the staff cruise through teh kitchen for whiskey shots in-between RUNNING around, and still people were getting irate at the slow service. Two cooks working on a grill serving breakfast and still it took 25-minutes to get breakfast - with the place half-full.
(1)Jon A.
As I signed in to write a review I see the place has 2.5 stars. Not really surprised, certainly my experience was disappointing and I don't imagine going back. Went there this morning with my wife and we chose to sit outside on their patio...weather was nice and it seemed a bit grungy inside. Unfortunately the patio was subjected to the occasional waft of rotting food from a dumpster somewhere which didn't really help the ambiance... Nice view though. The breakfast menu was one of those annoyingly complicated things where there were a bazillion variations on "2 eggs, some side, or some other side and/or some other thing. And some other things you can add on for more money." They also had a breakfast burrito (which I chose) and my wife selected their "Royal Scram" -- a kind of scrambled eggs with "stuff" in it. You could pay extra to have some meat in the burrito alongside the eggs, potatoes and beans which I did. For some reason none of the choices were chorizo. If you wanted a dollop sour cream it was an extra $0.75 cents which kinda pissed me off. Nice mark up on that huh? Curiously my burrito arrived without the promised eggs. This presumably doesn't happen to everyone, but upon inquiring with our waitress I would have to wait for them to fix that since the kitchen was backed up (odd, not least because there were hardly any customers.) In fairness I ended up not paying for th burrito, but still... As for the Royal Scram, it seems like Royal Scam might be a better name. Perhaps that's too harsh, but it was certainly underwhelming according to my wife. All in all, pretty dismal and definitely not recommended. Shame, it's a nice location.

Slow service, lots of flies! This place needs a good cleaning. Maybe they were understaffed, but the tables were sticky, and I didn't even want my elbows on the table. Prices were ok, simple food like burgers and sandwiches. I had chicken fingers, since I thought anything fried would be safe. And the fingers were ok, nothing fancy. My girlfriend had a BLT which was a bit too crispy on the toast, wilted lettuce and piles of fatty bacon. The Saratoga chips appetizer had more than a few undercooked chips. We had to request napkins. Overall, there are better options even in this small mountain town!

Our food was good. HOWEVER, this is among the worst service I have ever received, anywhere. It took almost an hour for our food to arrive. There were three adults and two children in our party. It is hard to make starving children wait for their dinners! We ordered at 4:45. Dinner starts at 5, so we had to order from the lunch menu. No problem. At 5:05, still no food, but the people at the next table placed their order. From the dinner menu, of course. 5:20. People at the next table got their food - FROM THE DINNER MENU. We still did not get our food. Our food arrived FIFTY MINUTES after we ordered. The waitress apologized while we were waiting and when the food came out. My sister ordered fries and received chips. When we pointed this out when the food arrived, the waitress apologized, but did not offer to or bring fries. We were not offered ANY compensation for our food taking so long, and we were charged $1.50 extra for the CHIPS that were supposed to be FRIES. An offer of free dessert or a comp on the extra charge for the chips? Nope. So overall, the food was good. But the service was AWFUL. If you were sitting at a different table, you would probably have thought it was fine. But we will not be back!

Food generally good, but service can be slow. Visited twice in the last two weeks: on a weekday at noontime there were few customers and service was good. We has breakfast items. Burrito was excellent and generous. Omelet was good with fresh veggies. Bacon was very overdone and post-crumbly. Hot cakes were tasty but very over-brown (crunchy-leathery) on one side. Beverage service was good. On Sunday morning ca. 10 am, place was full, but we found a vacant table. The drink-person was prompt, but the server was slow. We ordered as soon as she came by. About 10 minutes later she came by again to take our order (!), but then she realized we'd already ordered. That few other parties were eating was a clue: food did not come for nearly an hour. We did get coffee refills, occasionally. Food was good: omelet has crisp fresh veggies, sausage was tasty, eggs cooked correctly, hot cakes not burned. But it took way too long, even to pay. There were few parties waiting to be seated, so maybe the word is out. They could double their business by getting orders out promptly. Sad, because the food is generally OK.

Horrible. We used to come here last summer and it was pretty good but things have gone downhill since. Used to have good servers and food. Now they have neither. On a recent trip thru had a homeless indigent man roaming the dining area mumbling to himself. Meanwhile as we sat for 20 minutes waiting for coffee the waitress was chatting with hippie friends drinking a coffee from The Blue Moon next door! Food was disgusting like it was leftovers or something. Needless to say we just walked out.

slooooow. it took us 1 hour, 15 minutes to have lunch (about 10 minutes of actual eating time). i had a black bean burger (very good, by the way) and my husband had a veggie egg scramble. his eggs had been sitting around a while before they got to the table. if you have the time, this place is pleasant enough. the patio is great and the food is average. this review is also based on my only experience there. it was a busy saturday and they may have been short-staffed. i would go back.
