A deliciousl find. When I am on the road, I look for down home places--places run by local people who serve actual food that is cooked on the premises. Shanty II is such a place. Housed in a rather funky old building on the main highway in to Montrose, the exterior might not encourage you to stop. But do stop. Inside, the little place is shining clean, with the smiling owner cooking just behind the counter separating the chairs and tables from the kitchen. From that crowded space, he turns out excellent breakfasts, with fluffy biscuits, fresh eggs, golden hash browns and one of the better country fried steaks around. For lunch, the burgers and sweet potato fries are excellent. Lunch specials like prime rib or tuna melts are always good. The grilled chicken sandwich is nothing like those weirdly shaped extruded chicken things at the fast food places--Shanty II grills a real chicken breast, probably marinated, since it is tasty and not dry.

There was NO apology and No remorse for being SO RUDE! These ladies need to be fired! I emailed a letter to the establishment stating all of this info and they never...
Read moreI ordered the menudo today. Was that a mistake! Way over cooked! To the point it was slime I sent it back and showed the waiter how it smashed into slime. Then I found a hair in my food. I received the bill the menudo was still on the bill I asked why when I did not eat it. I was told because I ordered it! That was the worst menudo I have ever had anywhere! I hate to leave such a nasty review but someone has to say something. We had the rest of our meal and my tea was empty half way through and never did I receive a refill. If she had removed it from my bill then I probably would not had done this but after the way I was treated about...
