I love supporting small business. This very clean little mom and pop diner w/small thrift store items for sale. It was very quiet upon our arrival, no people, no music, silent. Just when we thought they may be closed we were greeted by a waitress. She was very hospitable, nice, and answered my many questions. 1. Is the green chili vegetarian? No, lard. 2. Are the beans vegetarian? Yes. Do you have salsa? Yes, but, in a packet, not fresh. I wouldn't think the country gravy is vegetarian either, but forgot to ask, it's traditionally made with chicken stock. Anyway, the questions helped w/my ordering, I ordered the huevos rancheros, no green chili. It was okay, the hash browns were a little greasier than I would prefer. The salsa packets, not good. Hubs had a basic breakfast, eggs w/cheddar, (you should specify, or else they use American) bacon, hash browns, and french toast. His french toast was burnt on the outside and smooshy on the inside, sadly he didn't say anything, and ate it disappointed. We also ordered beignets and a cini mini. The cini mini was a small cinnamon with icing pancake and it was delicious! The beignets weren't authentic, in the fact that they were more dense biscuity, instead of a light and fluffy, like a French style pastry. Overall this place was decent and worth dining at, there was a small crowd before we left, still no music (which I found bizarre). They could use a few minor improvements to really make this place pop and be more mentionable. Natural maple syrup, fresh OJ, salsa, and no one time use plastics, ex. straws/bags and styrofoam. Let's help save Colorado and the planet (we only...
Read moreFirst time customer and I was not amazed. And I hope this serves more of a critical criticism rather than a negative review. For a restaurant in small town Milliken and the ONLY breakfast place I was expecting a better job for a 4 star rating. Walking in it said “seat yourself” well as soon as we did the people who came in after us got their drinks first and got their order put in before us. there was a port-a potty next to a table where people got seated. Once our food came the coffee was bland too much water. Water in Milliken is NOT great you can taste the the chlorine and there was no filtered water offered. Our food was cold. Half my burrito was not smothered with “green chili” my hash browns were fried. My cheese wasn’t melted. My husbands burrito had burnt bacon inside. I am aware weld county doesn’t follow the mandated mask policy which we weren’t really aware of until we saw none of the employees wearing a mask. But I do believe you can practice safety in a small restaurant even with out wearing a mask...like staying 6ft apart but instead it was super crowded.
I believe the employees there are probably super nice we only met one employee and she was super sweet and friendly! We appreciate so much for your help and I hope you guys can improve your restaurant by making...
Read moreAwesome place! This is my new favorite place to eat. The service is amazing, and the food is great. We are always treated with graciousness and kindness. The Cracked Egg has a feeling of home-exactly why I moved to a small town like Milliken. I have not in the slightest been disappointed with my decision to move here; It's a great place to live and small businesses like this are just one more of the many reasons why. The Cracked Egg is unique in the fact that it is a little shop as well as a café-which makes for great breakfast/lunch conversation and entertained children. My 7 year old daughter insists this is where she is going to work when she is able to get her first job! My family and I have loved every experience we have ever had at the Cracked Egg, and we hope to give our business to this awesome restaurant for years to come. From the very first time we stopped in, they really did have...
