Best KPortal Reviews

This place is one of the best breakfast places I've ever been too. Everything is basically made from scratch including the biscuits which I could have had 15 they were so good. I've been traveling to CO from CT yearly and hands down this small business is the best. My carnitas breakfast skillet was an amazingly delicious, spicy and the coffee was good. Wonderful way to start my day.
The food was fantastic ????. I really like the home made corn-beef hash. Service was good. The boy cleaning tables was doing a fantastic job paying attention to detail.
I will go back when in Paonia or nearby again.
It was ok. The waitress got my order wrong and insisted on me not ordering it. I know I did because I do not order my eggs the way she brought them. Then she begrudgingly took them back only to see her slip and then say "oh yeah you did order them that way". There was no seasoning on my food. My family seemed to like their food enough though. I got eggs and hash browns so maybe just those things are unseasoned here. For the price I would say not really worth it. But if you like basic food then this is your place.
Excellent food every time I go!
Microwaved biscuits and gravy. Creepy atmosphere. I have a friend who was served raw chorizo here once. Better off cooking your own food.
This was easily, hands-down, the worst "dining" experience of my life. Made the mistake of going there for breakfast over the weekend. Ordered the breakfast slider. It was two biscuits, burnt, and hard as a rock, housing an egg and a (burnt) sausage patty that were absolutely covered in salt to the point that they were inedible. My friend had hash and the meat in it was burnt and dry and flavorless. Now I completely understand why we were pretty much the only people in there. If this place were anywhere other than a tiny town in the middle of nowhere, it would be closed within a week. Truly awful. And as a side note - the old lady server had zero personality, offered zero pleasantries, was extremely rude, and the only time she was ever nice was when it came time for us to pay for the "food." Gee... wonder why. I will say that prior to us leaving, a couple of locals came in - and she was all smiles and warmth and kindness. So maybe this is just how they treat "outsiders?" I don't know, but lesson learned.
This place was great. 6 of us showed up 30 minutes before closing and they were cool enough to feed us all. Our waitress was super friendly and welcoming.
I got the Ruben (I almost always get a Ruben on vacation) and this one was VERY good. The chicken and waffles looked good also.
The very archetype of a greasy spoon: good coffee, filling tasty breakfast, waitress pours coffee without asking if I want a refill.
That is why I love the place, totally unpretentious.
As an added bonus it is just around the corner from Peonia Purple; yet one more reason to visit.
