The Naked Goat Cafe, Soap Shop & General Store — Restaurant in Elizabeth

We hadn't been to Elbert in years, so we cruised out to check out their Christmas Bazaar. First stop; lunch at the Naked Goat Cafe.

We told the young lady at the counter that it was our first time there and she was eager to help! (I learned that I happened to be there the 'once a year' they make their 'turkey sliders', so naturally I wanted to try that). We made our order and looked for a place to sit. Found one in the "soap shop" section, at the 'big table'.

Food took awhile to get prepared but I was expecting that, so no shade given to them for that. Homemade food takes awhile and we didn't go there for fast food. (had the food taken awhile and sucked, that would have been different, lol)

Food arrived (one of the charms of small town dining is that they just 'find you' when your order is ready... No name yelling, no buzzer...) and everyone grabbed their respective order and got busy. The initial expression on everyone's face was absolute surprise; in a good way!

The Turkey Sliders were absolutely next level. It was like a miniature Thanksgiving dinner in every single bite! (you know the little snacky-snacks you make for yourself after the T-day carnage subsides? Yeah, THAT!)

The Classico was great; the fruit was fresh and I am pretty sure there was more than 'two eggs' in there. BLT was yummy too. BTW, whatever seasoning they use on the chips and such, is really good and a great ratio.

I felt like the prices were a little higher than expected but I think the experience and quality of food/staff balance it out.

It wasn't until I was ready to leave that I realized they served mixed, adult drinks!! I cannot wait to come back and sample their Old Fashioned!

Give them a try. It's not like you'd be coming here everyday. As an added bonus, sometimes you come out to your car and you have to wait for the deer to move, lol. Thanks for the cool experience! (I need to try that pie I saw...

The naked goat has some very good product. The jams and jellies they make are fantastic. The food I have had from the cafe is very good. The reason I’m giving the Goat 2 stars is for their inconsistent of operating hours. The busy season for an restaurant is going to be during the summer. The goat closes the cafe down during the summer. Then during the winter months they reopen on no real hours. Just kind of when they want to work. Before you drive from Colorado Springs or Denver areas call a head to make sure their open. But that’s no guarantee they will still be open when you get here. If I was to be giving a review on their products only they would be getting 4-5 stars

As for any of my reviews that are lower on the stars I will gladly update my review if thing change. My review was not to deter people from coming in. But rather more...

Love the Naked Goat. The food is very nice home made taste. My favorite is the club sandwich along with the chips. Add to that a glass bottle Coke and you’ve got a great lunch. Last time I was in, they had little baskets of doughnut holes which were a wonderful treat. It’s a true mom and pop restaurant (Daughter and Father I believe), so if you have a big group, maybe let them know in advance via E-mail you’re coming. Aside from the prepared food, they also have a great assortment of jams, jelly’s and sauces. Not to mention the side room with all the soap they make. Guarantee any woman who walks into the place will say the word “cute” at least a couple of times. One thing for sure, they have the best soap of any public bathroom I’ve ever been! Super nice people and my son loved that they have a couple of poke stops & gym near by for his...
