Forgive me for not taking a pic. I've been coming in and out of Gunnison Colorado for years as a…read morecorporate charter pilot and have always enjoyed the Backcountry Café. This time I had the opportunity to bring my wife along and she just fell in love with the café. We ate there a couple of mornings for breakfast and a couple of days for lunch and as always great food, great people and sometimes there's a line out the door. One morning breakfast while we were in town it was so packed that a couple got up from the table, came to us at the door and invited us to sit with them. Turns out they're locals. Just want to say we are super appreciative to Tony & Ellie for asking Stephanie and I to sit with them. We now have new friends in town. Had a great breakfast. Great Fellowship. We will be back. Over the years, I think I've had everything on the breakfast menu. This trip for lunch I had the backcountry club, Philly cheesesteak, and Blue Mesa sandwich. Everything, that we have ever eaten here has always been really good

She was also very attentive and filled my husband's coffee often, even if his cup was only about half full. I felt like the eggs Benedict's hollandaise sauce left much to be desired-it was a little on the bland side, but the home fried potatoes were very flavorful.

I felt as if I was talking to an AI robot taking my order. I feel as if having those personal conversations with customers is what makes or breaks if they will come to your establishment again. I also feel that if I'm paying outrageous prices for food then I should at least get a smile. The only person who really made my experience worth while was Bella, she was behind the counter, very professional and respectful while also trying to have an actual conversation with me and making my entire day. I hope the next time I come in there's a more personal experience with the employees.
