The breakfast food was pretty damn good and the bloody marys were ON POINT.
Everyone in my party seemed to have enjoyed breakfast there.
Maybe lunch and dinner is different?
I eat there all the time, you get a ton of decent food for not a lot of money.Quote:

Ok, maybe I'll give it another try when I'm not driving with the wife, you'd have to pay her to step foot in there again. I had a couple of meals there that fit adrenelated's description, so yeah, maybe it was just one terrible one.
I've always stopped at some hole in the wall diner in Saguache that's pretty good. If I'm driving to Wolfy, it's right about breakfast time when I hit it. Usually a bunch of farmers just sitting around drinking coffee. Exactly like a spot my grampa used to hang out at. The food is marginal but whatever.
There green chili used to be serviceable.Quote:

DW's 285 Diner in Conifer for breakfast. Good, friendly staff and vibe.
Breakfast in Vail is Westside or Northside in Avon
Silt Cafe is a good balance of price, portions and flavor.
Plus, how do you screw up breakfast :)
Punky's for BBQ in BV. I liked it.
Or Route 6 in Eagle Vail for the Full Monty eggs bene.Quote:

Yes, or the taco truck in front of safeway.Quote:

Haven't been in over a year but I like stopping at the Bucksnort Saloon near Pine. Good beer and atmosphere. Food and service is eh
Not sure if it qualifies but the Blue Cow in Morrison is great. It's under new ownership now and they changed the name to just "The Cow" but it will always be the Blue Cow to me. Oh, and the Morrison Inn isn't too bad either for Mexican.
Speaking of torta trucks, Tacos Kareli (the yellow food truck) in front of CVS and next to City Market in GWS is the bomb. Incredibly authentic tortas.
Peppinos New York Style Pizza is BOMB. They have a location in GWS and Carbondale.
Anyone got a good grab and go breakfast option on 285 heading out of the front range? We're leaving Boulder tmw morning around 6 or 6:30am, we could hit the bagel place in Golden but wondering what options there are along 285, like in Conifer. King Soopers and Safeway are always options, of course, but a breakfast sammy or burrito from someplace good would be preferable.
Unless there's something new or that I haven't heard of, there isn't anything worthwhile in Conifer for breakfast. Java Moose in Fairplay has good burritos but that's pretty far. I'd stop in Golden.
^ Hog Heaven in Bailey. Not sure what time they open.
All of the various smoked meats are the bomb, buy by the quart and build your own. Don't skip the sweet potato fries.
that would be a great breakfast stop, but I doubt that they're open, and Snowbeard's a veggiematarian.Quote:

went with Big Daddy bagels, it worked.
They are no longer there. It's not entirely clear but the rumor is Rite Aid corporate showed up and did not appreciate a taco truck in the parking lot out front.Quote:

So, I've given The Alpine in two tries so far …
First try (5:30pm arrival): not so bad - friendly waitress, good service (the place was packed at about 5:30 but they were handling the load well), nice atmosphere and an "ok" to good pie. I should have asked about gluten free, but that was my mistake.
Second try (3pm arrival): 8 minute wait to get seated. Overworked server running from tables to bar (to mix drinks) to cash register. I got a bad feeling about this …
Me (trying to break the ice): "it looks has if you're a bit short handed today".
Her: "Oh no! We're just busy".
About 15 minutes later, another gal showed up and worked the bar. Were they no longer busy or just not shorthanded anymore? Whatever …
I ordered a gluten free pie, and it might as well have come with a note from the cook, saying "fuck you, gluten free hippie/veg-head". The crust was burned and there were hardly any ingredients on the pie (in comparison with the same "glutinated" pie I had the previous visit).
I really wanted to like this place, but getting up-charged for gluten free while getting short-changed on ingredients, but with bonus charcoal crust? Fool me twice (ok ... only once). Not for me.
Back to Mountain Buzz, where I've never been disappointed.

Good food at reasonable prices, very good beer. Very good. Try their limited run drafts.
I'm not sure if this is the correct thread to be posting this, but I'll give it a shot:
I'm meeting some boulder-area friends in Silverton this weekend for a couple of days of good fun. I myself am headed in from SLC. Ideally, we would like to meet up in Grand Junction or Montrose and consolidate vehicles before heading further south. Do any locals have a suggestion for a safe place to leave a car for a couple of nights? Any help would be appreciated.
Can't help on parking, but there is a taco cart on the main drag in green river that you should hit up.

Have I missed it or doesn't anyone like Tommyknocker's? Good beers, most of the food we've had is great. Used to have a free pint with LLand pass, hopefully they bring that back next season. Try the Pine Bough Ale...made with pine needles from Loveland.
Yep, beer and wings are really good. Not a fan of the sweet potato tots though.Quote:
