Stopped here with a friend on our way through town. Friendly service and good prices. The waitress was so sweet and the service was fast. Nice little local stop. Limited menu during COVID- but still lots to choose from. We both had breakfast items and they were very good!

Hole in the wall mom and pop cafe. Great food, not so great atmosphere. Different lights and a fresh goat of anything but glossy paint would go a long way. Great wait staff! Great local feel. Will be back soon.

Ordered the breakfast burrito with chorizo. Couldn't taste the chorizo (I think they left it out because chorizo is hard to miss!); the eggs were overcooked and rubbery and dry; there were large chunks of nearly raw onion and green pepper; bland green chili. After reading other reviews I had high expectations. This was a real let down.

Its definitely not an upscale restaurant by any means, everything looks antiquated, but that's also part of its charm. It's a quiet little place on the corner of its little plaza that it's in. My girlfriend and I are avid biscuits and gravy fans and theirs is your traditional, down home, grandma style, with soft biscuits and creamy gravy. We've been to far too many places that try and reinvent the wheel by making biscuits that taste like they've been on the rack too long by being super crunchy and tasteless and gravy made with kale or weird ingredients and charging twice as much for them to boot! This place on the other hand was priced more than fairly for the food and service and we will definitely be back for more!

I don't usually leave reviews, but I was impressed by the price, and quality, and the timeliness of our server and the food in general. For some reason no one realizes that they don't need to wait around for a while to give you your check or wait around an extreme amount of time to look at your menu. This is the one place that didn't make you feel rushed and you can eat your meal in under 45 minutes. I had one of the nicest times here.

$30 dollars for my girlfriend and I to have lunch which looked like sandwiches my kids slapped together. Having to listen to one of the staff make comments expressing her ignorant political views made the environment as bad as the food. Whoever is giving this place five stars must either be associated with the business or used to eating prison food. It's not good. I have no idea how it stays open when there are so many truly good places to eat nearby. Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere.

Not another "breakfast restaurant," the Mountain Cafe is an honest-to-goodness diner in the heart of town, with burgers and monte cristos and more alongside the omelets and hash browns. Those hash browns are a delicious example of the finely-shredded variety, by the way, with a great variety of textures from the tender to the crispy. Food is very good, prices fair for the neighborhood. Very good, old-school cafe.

I don't think we'll be eating here again. I ordered the Monte Cristo. The bread was soggy, mushy and had no flavor. It was served with a tiny portion of jam - and thank goodness because I needed that to get the food down. The fries were also soggy and very greasy with no flavor. Aside from my date, the experience wasn't good. When I popped on to write the review, I was surprised to see all of the 5 stars. I am easy to please but this was not good food by any stretch. I think one whole star is too much, but I couldn't post without giving it one.

This cute little cafe was our first stop in FC after getting in after a long delayed flight from Chicago and it did not disappoint. We were surprised there was no wait as the omelette was out of this world, the veggies were super fresh, and they even added broccoli and tomato at our request. The breakfast burrito had two sauce options - a chili sauce or sausage gravy, both of which were delicious, and the fresh homemade salsa was phenomenal. Service was prompt, prices were reasonable, and the coffee hit the spot. Fresh ingredients and friendly service made quite the first impression for our first Fort Collins dining experience. Will be back when I'm back in town!

It's definetly not fancy. A small ma' and pa' shop with friendly service and decent food. Our (me and my girlfriend) server was sweet, attendant and brought our food out quickly. Decently priced and pretty good. You want find anything your grandparents didn't used to eat.

Amazing food! Super reasonable prices! The breakfast burrito is smothered in gravy and cheese and probably the best in town. The Spanish omelette is to die for. Great location, amazing service, and a hearty amount of food. Takes cards and cash. Good coffee.

Love this little place! We sat in the patio and enjoyed every sip of coffee and bite of food! Service was amazing - everyone took time to talk with us and everyone there is so friendly! The food here is incredible - they use fresh everything and it's amazing! We had the breakfast burrito and the omelette - each incrediant was flavored and cooked to perfection. The salsa is made fresh and is out of this world! It is a mom and pop diner with a homey feel. Definitely make this a stop on your food tour of FC.

Michelle was attentive and friendly. The food quality, presentation and value were very good. Parking is adequate between street and a small lot. Varied seating with tables, booth and counter options available. The cafe specials are unique and worthy of being "special".

Best chicken fried steak I've ever had! Ask for a side of their homemade salsa, it's incredible. Had the huevos rancheros special last time and it was delicious, especially the crispy hash browns. One of the top three breakfast joints in Fort Collins and the best part is, you never have to wait for a table.
