Bob & Earl's in Trinidad is one of those classic local spots that feels like it's been part of the community forever. The atmosphere has that old-school diner vibe -- simple, comfortable, and very hometown. The food was solid and portions were generous. You're not going there for fancy plating -- you're going for hearty, stick-to-your-ribs meals that hit the spot. We had a hearty breakfast in pictures above - Service was friendly and familiar, which is what you expect in a small-town staple. Like any busy local diner, timing can vary depending on the rush, but overall it's a dependable stop if you're in Trinidad and looking for a no-frills meal with a local feel. Would definitely stop in again. read more

We were passing through town on Sunday afternoon and went off the beaten path for this meal. It has a cool divey country diner vibe. Clean table and dining area - we sat in the back dining room. Clean single stall for a ladies' room. The initial server interaction was a bit strange. My husband had a few questions about the menu and the server seemed reluctant to participate in the conversation. It wasn't overly busy, so it was an awkward exchange. The 2nd server that took our actual order was more engaging. I ordered a bacon and cheese omelette and received a cheese omelette. It was a mistake in the kitchen. At my request, the server promptly cured it with a side of bacon that looked like a descent pieces of bacon, but microwaved on a small side plate. My husband ordered french toast and it looked great. Unfortunately, all pieces were room temp on the outside and refrigerator cold on the inside, so he didn't finish it. I tried my side of pancakes and had the exact same issue, so I did not finish them. In hindsight, our food was served very quickly. Which I would not usually complain about, but it is evident that they have precooked meals and not cooked to order. Maybe if they were heated thoroughly we would not have known that they were not fresh off the griddle. Honestly, I would rather wait a little longer for a quality meal cooked to order than to be served cold food fast. While we were waiting for the check, we heard another patron say, "it's not hot at all, but it has good flavor." Having already corrected the omelette, we did not report our concern over the cold food. Our server promptly bussed our table, but after waiting 10 mins for the check, my husband had to walk to the front to inquire about the process to pay. We didn't realize we needed to pay up front without an actual check issued at the table. We paid and we left. We really wanted to like the place, but unfortunately it fell short today. I don't usually like to leave a negative review, but this place earned the constructive remarks. Maybe it was an off day, but we were passing through so we have no idea if this is a consistent service. read more

My partner and I went to Bob and Earl's on a Sunday. We got there around 10am. We waited a while to have our order taken, and a while again to get it to our table. That's okay, I can live with that. But everything we ordered arrived STONE COLD. And I don't mean just not quite hot enough, but COLD. I could believe it. I don't know if their steam table was on the fritz or what, and we didn't get an answer from the wait staff. We paid for our coffee and left. read more

Great food and service! Small town gem! The breakfast burrito with the green sauce was 10/10.

Just stopped on our way through Trinidad. So good to have a homemade burger! The dining areas were packed, but though the servers were nearly running to get their work done, they were all kind and helpful. My thought was "this place looks like a hometown favorite." I hope it is so. read more

Bob and Earl's Cafe - Incredible stuffed breakfast burrito. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Trinidad, Colorado

Stopped in on our way to Red Rocks. Traveling all the way from Texas. My husband and I are glad we chose this cafe to get food. He ordered the patty melt with onion rings. Myself I ordered the Ruben with onion rings. We did half for half . I took half of his for half of mine. Both sandwiches were delicious. The wait time for food was less than 10 min. Everything was made fresh. The bread was toasted perfectly and the hand breaded onion rings were crispy . Delicious!! The wait staff was also so welcoming. We were seated right away. Drinks on the table with in a minute. Asked the right questions before the food came out so we did not have to ask for anything. It was just perfect. You will not be disappointed. Good vibes from TEXAS read more

We're visiting from Texas and I had the Grandma's French toast with one egg and sausage link, my partner had eggs, sausage patty, hashbrowns, and ordered a side of biscuits and gravy and it was all fantastic!!

Great food, great hosts, great service cozy atmosphere. The prices are very reasonable.

Ladies were lovely. The food was awesome. We had the smothered burrito. In and out in 30 minutes. Cozy

Wow Im absolutely so upset about their green chili fries. We have been here for 20 years always went to bob and earls. But I cant go anymore. They lost all their flavor. The green chili first of all didnt have any flavor and was the consistency of water. It literally just tasted soggy fries. And I have a feeling they didnt even put green chili in it. Im so upset.. I guess everything has to come to an end read more

Bob and Earl's Cafe - Great food and exceptional service - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Trinidad, Colorado

Haha wow - This is easily 5 stars for EXACTLY the diner I needed this first and perhaps last morning in Trinidad. After being snowed in from a vicious blizzard, I wound up hungover the next morning and in need of some seriously smothered diner offerings. My God, did B&E's deliver. Coffee, Diet Coke, water, and the huevos rancheros with BOTH salsas (aka huevos divorceados) truly served up what the doctor ordered. Topped with some rough chopped white onions and basted in Cholula and a lil ketchup (yeah whatever okay), I feel like I can confirm that I wouldn't be here today if it weren't for Bob and Earl's. If that doesn't deserve 5 stars I don't know what does. Waitstaff is probably livelier at times, ambiance is jussst - perfectly at ease. Don't ever change. read more

Great food. Try the pie. Waitresses very friendly too. Had breakfast. They accommodated my wife's dietary needs.

It was a pleasure to eat here. We were traveling through on our way home and spent the night in Trinidad. Looked for a place to have breakfast the next morning before continuing on our way. Bob & Earl's rad great reviews. We weren't disappointed, the place was packed but we were seated quickly. The breakfast was great. Bacon and eggs with hash browns and pancakes. Portions ware large and the bacon was plentiful with 6 slices on each plate. The walls are covered with artsy signs and sayings. The staff were courteous and friendly. It felt like we were eating at grandma's. read more
