I really couldn't recommend it enough. Comfortable place. Food is AMAZING. Everything was cooked different than other places but in such a good way. May God bless this place.

I can't wrap my head around how many stars this place has... it quite frankly should be shut down. Look real good at the other review pictures...you can see the years of build up on PLATES & CUPS. Honestly waking in it doesn't look that bad, but the dude had a bit of an attitude, sorta rushing. I was pretty hungry, and yes when the food came out it did look very appetizing... so of course I was already a few bites in before even realizing this.... traumatized from eating out..

I have never had a better time and had such a sweet serving us. This place will absolutely be a family tradition for our Manitou trips. The food is amazing, couldn't eat fast enough!

Cozy diner that serves breakfast and lunch. It seems that only one person was running the place himself, but he was doing a great job! He welcomed us from the kitchen and told us to sit wherever we like. After we ordered, the food came out quickly and we ate it just as fast! It was so good that we came here two mornings in a row! We had the breakfast burrito and chocolate pancakes. It wasn't busy, and we snagged a close parking spot. Will be going back every time we are in Manitou Springs!

Food was good with fun and friendly staff. However, it could use a deep cleaning and a little remodeling.

Google maps says you are open at 8:30, the sign on your window says you are open at 8:30, it is currently 8:55 a.m. and the building is locked up. No sign anywhere on the front of the building stating that you'll be closed for the day, this is an unacceptable way to run a business.

Just a correction to the hours. It's a 1 person restaurant most of the time and he actually says that the doors open at 8:30 ish. I have an actual acquaintanceship with the owners and they do wish this to be known.

Mom and pop diner. I love all the pictures of original owners on the wall. Food was excellent. There was only one man (the owner) working this morning but the service was still 10/10. The food was made fresh and hot. Biscuits taste homemade. Potatoes are a must. The portions were perfect. I would definitely go again.

Maybe we were too excited and our expectations too high, but this was not worth the experience. The service was very friendly, but kept misremembering or mishearing us. The cheese on my meal wasn't melted and was covered in flour, the pancakes tasted slightly burnt. The coffee wasn't just weak; it was lukewarm and tasted like water. We love the old school flatware and decor, but there was spiderwebs coated in dust and obviously wasn't cleaned in a while. Very disappointing.

The food was the only good part. But the surroundings of the environment made me nervous to eat the food. This little restaurant was NOT at all clean. Visible spiders and spider webs everywhere!!!!! Dust everywhere!! Salt and pepper shakers and other condiment containers were filthy!!
We were not important.

About 3 weeks ago we decided to try this place. We were seated almost immediately but we were informed it may be a while to order. No problem and it really wasn't that long. I got the quiche, my son got the biscuits and gravy. For a one man show, I think he did very well. The quiche was good but that is the end of the good. The coffee cups were extremely dirty on the inside, as were the glasses the orange juice? came in. It was the first time in my son's 40 years that he refused to eat the biscuits and gravy. It was gritty with water separating from the gravy . The interior is in need of total rehab. Areas patched with cheap laminate are sagging. Wallpaper? has been water-soaked at some time and is sagging and peeling. View of the kitchen from the dining area is not recommended. The whole place appears not to have been cleaned in two years or more. Sorry but this place needs a makeover.
