Interesting looking cafe in the downtown area. A bit small and no place to wait for a table. The service here is great. They are quick, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. I don't believe I ever saw the bottom of my coffee cup. The kitchen staff gets the food out quickly as well. I ate there several times on... More

This was a good find! Excellent breakfast and excellent service. My friends and I ate breakfast here two days in a row and loved it! Great waffles! I only wish we had tried the sweet rolls. They looked yummy.

We have ate here twice when we have come for winter activities. The place is usually packed but well worth the wait. I had a mushroom swiss burger & fries and both times it was so juicy. The fries are great and the onion rings too. If your in the mood for hot chocolate, it is super yummy! I will... More

We took two toddlers and it was very family friendly. I had a club sandwich, it came out quickly, but was just ok. The sweet potato fries were good. Good prices for Steamboat.

My husband and I come here for breakfast almost every time we are in Steamboat Springs. The servers are always very friendly and attentive. The food comes out fast and the quantities are plentiful and very tasty. This time, I had the Huevos Rancheros and he had the Hobo plate. We also had a biscuit and sausage gravy on the... More

My daughter ordered hamburger. Clearly had several little black hairs in it. Not a persons. More like dog hair. Waitress took meat to show cook as she was shocked. They took order for chicke. Sandwich that came 40 minutes later I was done eating and we had to get to go. Nothing deducted as they said wasn't their fault. Would... More

Ate here on a Sunday morning at 10am - VERY busy time during ski season - not sure if they take reservations but if they do, use that option! Had to wait about 20 mins for a table, but we were in and out of there within 30 mins once seated, all the food was good. Kids loved the "mickey... More

Great breakfast, fast or slow, really, such a good waffle. There are many choices in town but the shack is easy to get in and get out, quick good hot food. Had a great breakfast and an especially good waffle, old school, not Belgian. A great choice for local dining.

This was our first restaurant we went to when we arrived in Steamboat - lunchtime. Nothing fancy, just good, warm your heart, fill your belly kind of food. You can get breakfast anytime. Service was friendly!
