Kristin ..

Passing through Gunnison and wanted a quick bite from a local place. I unfortunately rolled in ten minutes before closing but they still had patrons and were kind enough to let me order to go. I ordered the crispy chicken wrap and it was fresh and delicious.

Food is just what you want and well cooked. Perfect eggs Fantastic and outgoing staff w smiles. Yeah that still happens in Gunnison. Service was attentive and genuine The inside is cozy, clean and fun place w great people all around. The back patio rocks! Pilar was a sweet and helpful lady who made sure we got everything. Thank you

Good lunch while taking a trip through the mountains. Comfortable, reasonably priced and decent service. The grilled turkey, with delicious bacon, served on sourdough was a hit. Freshly brewed ice tea, with the refill I had to ask for more ice -- Ice goes in iced tea and warm tea, melts the ice. Clean inside. Friendly, nice people at the cafe. Good comfort food, nothing fancy here.

Passing through Gunnison again, we chose this place for lunch after we found the Dive closed. Backcountry Cafe seems popular and feels like a local place. We sat inside as there was a wait for the back patio. Their menu offers all day breakfast as well as American-type lunch options. They have a lot of choices available and there's probably something for everyone. Parents and fiancé all got Philly cheesesteaks and fries for lunch. I was feeling more breakfast-y, so I got the "Cowboy breakfast" which came with one egg, a pancake, and bacon. I also added a side of home fries. The food was good. Nothing super remarkable, but good. Everything was cooked properly and they hit my preferred level of doneness on both my scrambled eggs and my bacon. The pancake was light and fluffy. My fam liked their Phillies and fries. The home fries were awesome but for a few larger bites that were a little undercooked. Service was friendly and very fast -- despite being very busy, they got our food out to us in less than 15 minutes. This is a good stop if you're craving some American grub or breakfast!

Absolutely loved this place! The food was outstanding and the service was quick and responsive. We hit it right after noon, and once we sat down, the place was bombarded by customers who had to stand around and wait for a table to clear. There were only about 12 in the place. My only grievance was the arctic temperatures under the table by the front window. In snow boots, my toes were freezing. Worth the suffering though, to experience those hashed brown patties and biscuits! It's worth mentioning that customer masks were not tightly regulated. An old-timer came in with no mask at all, signed up for a table, and proceeded across the dining room to the bathroom. If I were the type to be greatly offended by such a thing, I would deduct a star or two.

Breakfast and laughter at a fun loving , western Colorado joint. Food is tasty and pleasant. The wait staff is full of laughter and joyful service. Can't go wrong here. Plus, great professional photos on the wall to highlight the beauty of Gunnison. In addition to coffee, you can have your own Mimosa, or the upsized Man-Mimosa, or a bottle of bubbly for your table! Don't miss out if you are staying overnight in Gunnison. read more

We stumbled onto this place on our way to Crested Butte. We had been up since 2 am traveling by car and plane to Montrose and on to CB so we needed some food. Three of us wanted breakfast and one of us insisted on lunch food since, duh, it was lunchtime. Backcountry Cafe was listed as the number one restaurant on Yelp and was serving lunch as well as its all day breakfast. Everyone was happy. It's not a very big place so we waited on the sidewalk until a booth was available. You always know it's a good place when it's packed with locals. The waitress quickly took our drink orders after we sat down. Our lunch person got the turkey club which looked really good. The other two got breakfast options which they liked, and I ordered the breakfast burrito - mainly because it came with green chile. Not sure I've ever had a breakfast burrito with black beans but they were good. I skipped the cheese and sour cream. I don't like either one and just wanted to taste the green chile anyway. The burrito was just the right size. Not overwhelming and not puny either. The coffee was good, the service was excellent. Restrooms were clean and when I told one of the waitresses that the soap dispenser was empty, she thanked me for letting her know. Everything looked delicious and explained why the place stayed full. They did a good job of still observing COVID protocols too. It's well worth a stop if you're hungry as you come through Gunnison. It's on the Main Street so it's easy to find. read more

I stopped in for breakfast early Saturday morning and sat at the counter. My server was very sweet and attentive; I ordered a waffle and side of bacon. The waffle was a little softer than I like but it was still tasty, and the bacon was crispy like I asked for. Prices were good for a nice place like this. I would definitely come back when I'm in town again--I even bought an adorable tie-dye shirt before I left! read more

We really enjoyed our lunch at backcountry cafe. We had to wait 15 minutes to be seated, but once we were seated we ordered and received our food in probably ten minutes! This was a huge plus when dining with three boys under the age of five. The boys each had a chocolate chip pancake that they loved.

I stopped in here for breakfast on my drive back to Denver. I had the breakfast burrito and it was good without being great. But I admit that I am a breakfast burrito snob. The place was not very busy and they were more weight staff and patrons. Service was prompt and friendly and the prices seemed like you got a good value for your meal. The green chili they smothered the breakfast burrito with was also pretty tasty. From the other pictures on yelp, I might try the sausage gravy and biscuits next. I would recommend checking this place out. read more

When I suspect a breakfast place will be crowded, especially on the weekend, I prefer to get there early in order to avoid waiting. Having slept in a little on a Sunday, and seeing two parties waiting for a table, I was pleasantly surprised to be offered the last seat at the counter, which I eagerly took. The young man serving the counter was awesome: knowledgeable, friendly and efficient -- three of my favorite traits in a server (or in anyone in a public service job!). I ended up ordering the amazing huevos rancheros, which were smothered in a delicious green chili sauce. And for your potato option, consider the delicious home fries. The coffee was a step above standard cafe fare, rich and bold. And to finish things off in grand style, I opted for a yummy "Manmosa", a mimosa served in a pint glass. No regrets on that decision! So all in all, from top to bottom, my breakfast at the Backcountry Cafe was an outstanding experience. I hope to be back in Gunnison before too long, and will plan on dining here again. read more

This would be 5 stars if the server had been more on it. The food was good! Chorizo country skillet w home fries was good. The plate was completely empty when we left. Not a crumb on it! The other was flavorful but due to server error was less than fab. So huevos rancheros, over light, no dairy please and flour tortillas, not corn please. Server says absolutely! The piping hot plate arrives with cheese melted on it and sour cream. Ok, mistakes happen, no problem. The server takes it back, returning to say it was the last serving of pork chili verde. (Groan) I could have the vegetarian chili. Ok, seems easy. My plate returns with no dairy (yay) cold home fries and about 10 black beans as a garnish (!) the server brought a few more upon my request, yes a few. Maybe a quarter of a cup. By this time my flour tortillas were gummy and just gross from sitting so long w chili verde on them. I should have just ordered a whole new plate. I will say even though it was cold or room temperature at best, the flavor was great. The server didn't come back to check if things were better, although he was apologetic. He did take off the cost of the coffee (more of a brown liquid than a rich bold coffee). I guess I could have asked for a manager but by the end, I just wanted to be done with it all. So go, enjoy the fantastic grub. And don't waste money on the coffee read more

It came with a small bag of chips, but the sandwich itself is huge and loaded. The sandwich is on a soft hogie rather than the traditional french type of bread, but it's delicious and fresh . The shrimp (plump, perfectly cooked and plenty) is in a kind of dark cajun remoulade mixed with bacon and sauteed onions with multi colored bell peppers. Oh, and it has lettuce so you don't feel bad about eating it all in one sitting! :) Overall, I loved it! Bursting with flavor in every bite! Felt more like a Cajun shrimp Philly minus the cheese. Only if I was to be the one to name it of course! There is no such thing as a shrimp Philly though...yet!

Food came out in a respectable amount of time. It was hot and fresh. You can see right into the kitchen as it is an old food trailer that they have set up as the cooking area, which was really cool.

She gave me my coffee with cream in it however, it was overflowing and spilling all over. So I grabbed my own napkin from my car to wipe it off and it was still so full that it was spilling everywhere and she looked at me and asked "would you like a paper towel"? What I wanted to ask for was my dollar tip back for a $2.50 Coffee. It was terrible service. I should have just gone to my favorite coffee shop, which is double shot on Main Street.

The Dive

Found this place on a mini board in the hotel. A few of the other recommendations are closed on…read moreTuesday so we decided to give this place a try. For parking you can either park next-door at a closedown store or try and find street parking for Tuesday with the World Cup being on it was a little busy and the weather was so they had the sliding doors open and you could either choose to sit inside or outside on the patio. Since it was a nice light breezy 90° day most people chose to sit outside, so all the patio tables were taken. We were told we could sit anywhere and they brought us a menu as soon as we seated. Are we just walked away and brought us back two glasses and a big craft of water. She gave us a few minutes to look over the menu which I do appreciate. But when she came back, asked if we had any questions I asked her how big the kids tiny burger was she said it's like the size of a slider and it came with nothing on it, but you could add whatever you wanted. I ended up going with the tiny burger off of the kids menu adding mayonnaise, lettuce, onion, and the bacon marmalade. My coworker ordered the same and a shredding tots. Food came out in a respectable amount of time. It was hot and fresh. You can see right into the kitchen as it is an old food trailer that they have set up as the cooking area, which was really cool. The waitress was bringing out food for other patrons. We noticed the size of the burgers and we were glad that we got the tiny ones. first bite of the burger was absolutely fabulous. It was juicy just enough pink and the flavors with the bacon marmalade out of this world. I did try one of my coworkers shredding. They were fabulous also with just a hint of blue cheese mixed in with the potato. Definitely a must try and will be going back the next time. I am in town.

The Shreddy tots and drinks were great. There were lots of seating options and a good atmosphere…read more The main dishes were fine, but not standout. We overheard our server talking poorly about our group to another server which was a bit off putting.

This is about as good as it gets in Gunnison, and that's saying quite a bit because there are…read moreseveral very nice restaurants here. The wine list is very nice, and you won't break the bank -- especially at happy hour, with two dollars off each glass of wine between 5 and 7 PM. We had the House Malbec, from Mendoza, Argentina, and it had a delicious flavor and aroma. It was a full bodied and smooth, dark red offering. For an appetizer, we had the Shishati grilled peppers with pesto/cilantro sauce, and they were just fantastic. They are mild, nicely grilled, and beautifully presented. It is served as an appetizer, but please be warned, one out of every nine peppers is exceedingly hot. We had about 12 peppers, and all of them were mild, so we beat the odds! I've had hamburgers all over the world, and I can honestly say I have not had a better cheeseburger than I got right here from the menu at Blackstock. It's in a traditional bun, lightly toasted, with tempura, onion, cracked pepper, mayo, Tabasco, candied and smoked bacon, and it is served with Hand-cut fries. You can add guacamole for a dollar, or blue cheese or Gruyere cheese for another dollar. But I did not add a thing; it was perfect as it came out of the kitchen for me! You will be asked how you want your hamburger cooked, and I chose medium. It could not have been better! It's on the menu at a very fair $21 including your hand-cut fries. My lovely dinner-date had the petite filet mignon, a 5-ounce offering of spectacular steak, served with goat cheese, potato croquettes, asparagus, stewed shallots, served with a Cabernet Demi glaze at $45. It was a large serving, I believe bigger than 5 ounces, because we are taking half of it home in a to-go box! Again, the food was spectacular... really good. We will finish with the flourless chocolate torte, serve with whipped cream and Amarina dark cherries at $11. If I was a betting man, I'd say you're gonna love this place! Take a few pictures, do what I did, and leave a review, because more people need to know the quality of food coming out of this little storefront on a busy street in Gunnison! And if you ask for Danielle, be advised, he's a great server and you will get exactly what you need! He's very attentive, and charming.

More recently, we sat at the bar last week to enjoy both happy hour, and the ramen menu. The bartender was great, and checked in with us regularly. We started with a small plate of the bistro fries - which comes covered in Truffle Oil, Herbs de Provence, and Parmesan Cheese - they're super good, and would say better than a certain CB restaurant's crack fries. The small order was plenty for the three of us to share. For drinks, we started with wine, beer, and I had a mojito. The mojito wasn't my favorite - for some reason, it was really sweet. Second drink was a glass of Sauvignon blanc, which went well with the ramen. On to the ramen - I went with the Boo-Tan-E-Koo Pork broth, traditional wavy noodles, pork belly, poached egg, tempura, green onion, buttered sweet corn, chile thread, fresh ginger, sesame seeds. It was delicious, flavorful, and I couldn't get through the whole bowl (I took about half of it home). That was my first time taking ramen home, and would note it heated up nicely for lunch the next day. We will absolutely be back to try more of the menu!

Airy and comfortable, the noise level is low, the comfort level is nice, the decor is old and worn in, very family friendly.
