After parking on the street, walk in and wait to be seated, at this quaint blue house with wooden floors below tables surrounded by black metal chairs that have wooden seats (close to the floor grain) in Old Colorado City. The white textured walls with gray baseboards, doorframes and window trim, all look freshly painted and are adorned with fun signs: "What if the hokey pokey is what it's all about?" and "I love you more than bacon." Children's menus are available, along with black and wooden highchairs. On the table you will find a metal basket containing syrup, real sugar and sugar alternatives, ketchup, Cholula, salt and pepper. The sink area in the bathroom would use a face-lift, but I love the fun faucet placement (in the corner). The women's bathroom afords two stalls and a changing station; though it is a little tight getting around the carts that home outside the restrooms. A lot of natural light comes in through the bathroom windows and ADA bars are found in the first stall. Our waitress Sarah was wearing a tank that said "Where the L♡cals Eat" ....you pay your server at the table, after a handwritten ticket is presented. From crispy bacon to their well known cinnamon rolls (not as sweet as most cinnamon rolls and big enough to share), go on by with the family, on a date or to enjoy a meal in the corner with a good book.

We first saw this establishment on Diners Drive In’s and Dives when we first came into town in Colorado Springs. The food looked good and we found ourself looking for a place to eat. We were about an hour away so we called to ask about reservations and to ask if they were busy. The lady who answered was off putting, when she answered she said it was first come first serve, which was fine and when I asked if it was busy she said “Um yeah we have a full house” they also closed at 3 and we weren’t going to get there until about 1:45. We decided to try anyway, they only had seating outside which was fine. We were sat and the only ones outside. A couple minutes later a table of three had sat on the opposite side of the patio. They were helped and had their drinks before anyone had even said a word to us. I had to go inside and ask someone to help us. They said they’d be right with us and a couple minutes later a lady came up to us and said that her manager had cut her and then made her take our eight top. Which was weird to us considering they were still a “full house.” She was nice at first, but then she got more rude during our time here. The food was good and the main reason for 2 stars rather than 1. The last straw was when our waitress came and asked us how everything was, it was good but one of our kids needed a refill on a soda. She took the drink inside and then we saw her go out the back door and smoke a cigarette and count money. There was also a no smoking sign right by the ramp that she was smoking by. She then went inside and immediately brought the coke back, we weren’t sure if she washed her hands or not. She was still rude even when we were leaving. The food was good but despite poor, poor service I don’t know if I would recommend this place to anyone.

Absolutely fantastic breakfast and overwhelmed by the quality and supply of food for the cost . I added phptos of the aftermath for context. Actually regretted my order at first because I didn't expect the portions as large as they were. Mistakenly ordered extra bacon too. The breakfast burrito was great, recommend getting the chorizo and hot chili. It was fat and overstuffed and came with a whole nother tortilla I didn't even touch because I was full. My only negative comment is the hash browns, but it is a perspective thing. I grew up eating Waffle House and having practically deep fried potatoes with illegal amount of grease. So they aren't bad, just not what I was expecting and that's ok. There's enough calories on the plate, I don't need another 600 in oil. This has got to be in my top breakfast places I've ever been. I'm actually struggling to name one that isn't grandmaw making me French toast.

TL;DR - cinnamon rolls are not worth it, bland food I was excited to try this place based on all the great reviews, BUT it was not worth our time or money. Arrived just after 7am with a party of 2 and were quickly seated. Orders came out quick. We were most excited to try the famous cinnamon rolls and ordered a half cinnamon roll; unfortunately, it was not good (bland, weird aftertaste) and were surprised that it was served cold (we were not given an option to have it warmed). We also ordered omelettes - a Rueben and a Porky Pig; both were good-ish but definitely under seasoned. The only thing we both liked were the hash browns, which were served crispy but again needed salt. Recommend for those who enjoy bland diner food and pictures for their Instagram.

The place is DISGUSTING. It is dirty and probably you going to be leaving the place with some disease. Hostess was very rude when I wanted to order food and no waitress came to our table for about long time. The only person I could see was as the hostess and I ordered my food with her only for her to be rude saying she was not a waitress and she does not take orders that I should find a waitress and order with her. Didn’t even offered to get the waitress for us. Seriously disgusting place and it looks like it hasn’t been clean for YEARS. And being right by a morgue we should expect that this place should be super clean and tidy. But NO. Sanitation should be paying them a visit, if they go there, the place probably gonna be out of business.

I will start by saying I’m a little biased being from the south, but I got excited when I read they were voted “Best biscuits and gravy” back in 2015. I don’t know what has changed since then but it was far from the best. The biscuits themselves were really good, but they use sausage balls made for pizza and all they do is drop some handful of these sausage ball/chunks into white gravy… the sausage was chewy and tasted boiled when it should have been fried separately and added in. Super super disappointing and I have to believe it’s because it’s a cost thing and it’s cheaper to get these premanufactured sausage balls. The rest of the food was quality and I’d probably go back again but just wouldn’t order Biscuits and gravy again.
