Marion's of the Rockies

Came on a family trip. The salads and burgers are always great. My toddler is a picky eater but gobbled up a full chicken fried steak ( HOW I don't know) she liked it a lot. 4 people and the total bill was less than when we went to . Great value for an excellent meal.

Stopped in for breakfast on the way back to Denver from Vail. Great menu, awesome attitudes, loved the retro feel. I'm even sure the food would've been good, if it had ever arrived. Honestly I feel bad for these folks, I don't know what was going on this morning but it was chaotic and disorganized as can be. Can say the Bloody Mary was excellent....but we were there for over an hour, and when I finally asked about our food they brought us the wrong order. Came to find out that they hadn't even started our order yet, but promised us it would be out quick. Super sweet people but we weren't willing to wait any longer, so I asked for the check.

It was very nice of them to just comp everything we'd had up to that point, but it doesn't really make up for the disappointment or wasted time. I hope they get it together because that place has all the tools to rock

This is one of those restaurants that survives because there isn’t room on the street for another restaurant. Yes it’s been here forever. I suppose the locals are resigned to it.

Average food with very slow service. Do yourself a favor and fight the parking at the downtown cafes, this place is convenient but that’s about it.

Solid 2 stars across the board. Service wasn’t fast or attentive. Heard other tables having the same problems or different problems. A man came in after us and was helped first, ordered first, as well as a takeout order in the phone when we were sitting there ready to order. It wasn’t busy at the time. Food was okay. My gravy on my biscuits was room temp/cool and the sausage in it was cold. I liked my scrambled eggs. Orange juice came in a tiny cup for $4.50. It’s all a bit overpriced for being mediocre. Decor was still Easter at the end of June. Say they give a 10% cash discount. Wouldn’t go back.

Big portions
Great food!

Perfect little breakfast diner along I70. My wife and I enjoyed it!

The best breakfast in the area! Evan’s benny my favorite

Ordered two breakfast meals for me and my wife. Others came in after us, no food was coming to anyone. Two couple ms came in at least 20 minutes after us and they got their food (burgers) before us m. I asked the server about our order. She went back to the kitchen and never came back out while we waited at least another 5 minutes for a total of over 45 minutes with no food. We walked out. Very disappointing.

Even though we got our food to go, they are dog friendly and our service was great

This was a rare find on the way to Vail from Denver for us. We were so hungry and desperate to find something solid and found this gem. The food was so good, service was excellent and the prices were so reasonable. Definitely recommend this to the tourists and visitors who are heading west on highway I-70 and want to have a stop for a great bite.
We will be back for another one.

OMG, the homemade cinnamon rolls were amazing! We ordered 2, and i should've returned to get more! The pancakes and bacon were also good! Highly recommend

Can’t rate the food since it’s been 30mins since we ordered and it took 15mins to get someone to take our drink order only to have them slam them on the table when they brought them. Two other tables arrived after us and had their orders and food delivered to them. So I would say if you have a couple of hours to kill and aren’t hungry then come on by and bring your cot and stay a while

Located right off the I-70 exit in Idaho Springs, Marion’s on the Rockies is super convenient if you're passing through. We stopped by for brunch and while the atmosphere is warm and inviting, there was a noticeable delay in both taking our order and receiving our food.

We ordered the Chicken Fritta Skillet and a Jalapeno Burger. Both dishes were tasty and satisfying, though the onion fries on the side didn’t taste as fresh as I expected. The food itself was definitely good, but if you’re in a rush, this might not be the best stop due to the slower service.

Overall, if you're not in a hurry and are looking for a solid meal in a cozy environment, this place is a great option!
