Campus Café — Restaurant in Alamosa

Rolled in on a Sunday at about 10 am to find a decently busy, but not packed restaurant. Despite this, we were able to find an open table right away (which was still dirty and full of plates). After waiting about 15 minutes, the waitress finally came over to take drink orders. Waited another 10 minutes for her to clear the table, after which we waited another 10 minutes to get a menu. After looking over the menu we had to wait another 10 minutes for her to take our order, then what seemed like an eternity for the food to come out. In that time span we watched 6 tables come in, sit down, eat, and leave. When the food FINALLY came out it was mediocre at best. My breakfast burrito was completely forgetful (I think it had bacon in it) and my girlfriends strawberry pancakes were a chewy, soggy mess with whipped cream and canned strawberries (what, can't get fresh berries??) tossed on top. Two hours later we finally received the check and when I expressed my frustrations to management, they told me "Too bad, we've never had anyone complain in the past."

I'm not one to ask for handouts, but in this situation I definitely did not feel like the bill was worth the experience. I asked how they intended to make it right and management's response was, "nothing, pay the bill or we'll call the cops." Really??? This is how you respond to frustrated customers??? Give me a break.

We spent nearly half our morning in the restaurant and what did we get for it? A mediocre breakfast and a restaurant staff unwilling to do ANYTHING to make us feel like coming back.

Here's a pro tip, do yourself a favor and completely skip the Campus Cafe. There's a brand new IHOP down the street, as well as plenty of other breakfast options in town to take...

Reservations - none, it’s seat yourself style. Can be hectic if they’re busy.

Parking - a small lot with a handful of parking spots, there’s also street parking right in front of it, and it’s right next to a Safeway.

Service - a bit slow if they’re busy, but everyone was friendly.

Food - Santiago omelette - was recommended to us by the waitress. Delicious, would get it again. Overall rating 4/5.

Hash browns & chili - it may not look very good but also very delicious. Similar to the Santiago except it’s just hash browns. Would get it again. Overall rating 4/5.

Cinnamon roll - HUGE. About the size of a full size dinner plate, which was unexpected if you haven’t seen it before. A lot of butter, still tasty, but due to its size it was hard to finish. Would get it again (to share with multiple people). Overall rating 4/5

Coffee - tasted like dirt/very watered down. Maybe it was a bad batch, but disappointing since it’s a breakfast place. Difficult to drink, I could not finish even one cup. Would NOT get again. Overall rating 1/5.

Price - very inexpensive, you get a lot for what...

Food was below average. The cheese steak bread was drenched in butter and the waffles are no different than frozen waffles you can buy at the grocery store. Also, the practice of allowing people to fill the restaurant to capacity without having enough staff members to take orders and get food out at a reasonable time shows that the owners don’t care about your time or quality of your experience, they just want your money. We waited 10 minutes before we were greeted by our waitress and approximately 43 minutes from the time we placed our food order to when we actually got our food. And to the older man who came out from behind the counter (one of the staff, or the owner maybe?) and started touching peoples babies faces?!?!? STOP TOUCHING BABIES THAT DON’T BELONG TO YOU!!! Especially their faces!!!! Would you let a stranger touch your baby’s face without...
