Really nice folks who made an awesome Reuben with sweet potato fries. Even split the plate for us. Sorry about the pic but so yummy i ate half of it before remembering the pic part.

Great breakfast, excellent staff, good portions. Went twice, both times great grub. Reasonably priced compared to other eateries in area.

Our server was very friendly. I didn't catch her name. The food was good. Reasonably priced. Nothing fancy, but good, solid service and meal.

Ok the staff is patient and kind with the kiddos. Pancakes are fluffy and perfect. Mickey mouse pancakes delighted the kiddos. I had a fantastic Philly with Swiss and the fries oh the fluffy crispy amazing french fries. I could eat a plate of those alone. Biscuits and gravy should also not be missed. I don't think you could go wrong with anything here! Great food great service!

Although the food was mostly good, the overall experience was not great. I ordered the rib-eye steak and eggs, order of biscuit and gravy, and a hot chocolate. The person that answered the phone was giving very short answers, didn't ask for my information, nor did she give me a total. I get to the restaurant and it appears I was the only one with an order to go, my card was taken and charged, and I was handed my bag. I had to ask for the hot chocolate and the whipped cream on top.I get back to my hotel to find the steak is very thin and dry. The eggs and hashbrowns were fantastic. But, the biscuit (photo attached) was clearly meant to be a sandwich of some kind where the egg and meat were taken out. This is a bit unsettling, but nothing seemed "gross" so I ate it. It was a great biscuit.Overall, the food was decent outside of exceptions but the take-out service lacked a bit.

Went here for lunch while on vacation. Excited that they offered both breakfast and lunch on their menu. Staff was nice enough, although there were some major health code violations. Waitress eating food at the bar in-between tasks (never washing her hands), long hair not put up. The biscuits had super hard spots in them, the sausage gravy was cold (not even room temp). Just overall not a good experience.

Very busy place but they are incredibly organized and efficient, it’s a well oiled machine! I love breakfast there, can’t wait to go back. I recommend either “The Choice” or “The Hobo” with the green chili salsa!

So this is on the main street of downtown but didn't show up in any "places to go list" that I found and no locals recommend it, in fact they steered us away from this place. Now I know why! Locals actually eat here! It was our cheapest meal in steamboat and perhaps one of the best as well! When I asked for veggies, I got a giant plate of steamed veggies. My tummy was SO happy with the food, service, and speed at which everything happened. I would highly recommend this location to eat!

I try to review restaurants I eat at, kinda spaced on these guys, I have lived in the boat for 10+ years, ate here many times, the service is awesome, the food is always great, so sorry it took so long for review, but, you guys rock! Keep it up!

Absolutely delicious, hot and fast! We enjoyed chatting with Criag and a long time local customer. Absolutely recommend!!!
