Stopping on our way to Colorado Springs from Austin, TX. Perfect spot, staff knew almost everyone that walked through the door. Small, cozy and good food!! read more

Had a group of 8 camping just down the road at Trinidad Lake. We had passed this place on our way to the campground and thought this 'hole in the wall' might be a good place to have dinner. Sure enough, it was a great little place. Nothing fancy, but the food was very good. Everyone left happy and full. I had the chi-lee burger, which is a 'slopper' for all you Puebloans. Open faced, two burger patties smothered in their green chili and covered in fries. Chili was a little thick, but had a nice flavor to it. Nice roadside cafe with very close proximity to the lake. read more

We journeyed off the beaten path following our fellow Yelpers ratings. I had the Sante Fe trail burger 2 pattie. Well portioned burger, pretty good overall needed salt I hate having to season my food especially burgers. Audra had a bacon burger with fries. While observing other diners with chili illin their fries we upgraded Audras side to chili cheese fries. We decided on Christmas since we wanted to sample both. Blah seriously!! The red eas ot of a can, and the green bland no heat whatsoever. The locals obviously love the place which means you don't need my business. I guess it's a win win. read more

It's just a bit off the main road but worth the drive. While traveling across the country this weekend we chose our stops wisely. This place made us feel welcome and SAFE during our visit. Very clean following guidelines - with a smile. Food was on point for a Saturday morning! Y I could tell the staff was glad to be there and to see you- and yes they were busy but efficient. Absolutely recommend read more

Opens at 7am now. Good portion sizes and solid breakfast menu. The hash is really good, fair warning...the breakfast burritos are big. Come early as they fill up by 830 on weekdays. read more

What a tiny, perfect, delicious hole in the wall. The pancakes that everyone is talking about in the reviews, it's for GOOD reason. I am a sucker for homemade pancakes. The bacon and sausage was fantastic. I had the breakfast burrito with green chili, it was fantastic. Our coffee cups never went empty, and the service is great; the staff tag teams the tables a bit to ensure that no one gets neglected. We will definitely return! read more

The food is delicious! Relaxed setting with friendly staff and patrons. I had blueberry pancakes smothered in rich delectable whipped cream. Yummy! The hubs had the Mexican Biscuits. The green chili was a bit hot for us, but we are admittedly wimps when it comes to hot stuff. Both breakfast were very good. read more

This place is incredible! Amanda greeted my girlfriend and I with a smile and sat down at our table and I was immediately impressed! She suggested the chili burger and homemade pie. The ingredients were beyond fresh and everyone was beaming with happiness. To say I'm impressed is an understatement. Do yourself a favor and stop by here! You will not be sorry. read more

This was such a surprise. A local suggested we go here after we found that the Double D was not open on the day we were in Trinidad. It was a small and quaint hole in the wall. It didn't look like much, but we decided to give it a try, and I am so glad we did. It had a really good menu with lots of choices, and be careful because they food is plentiful. My son and husband shared a burrito breakfast and it is a good thing too, because they would not have been able to finish it if they had each ordered one. I ordered a simple steak and eggs with hash browns and a single pancake and everything was delicious. The steak was perfectly medium rare as I asked for ti to be, and my eggs were perfect. We highly recommend coming here to eat. The food does not disappoint. The staff was courteous and friendly, and knowledgeable of the items on the menu. Don't miss this place! read more

Just passing through town and yelped a spot for breakfast. It is worth the short drive through town at risk of getting lost Plenty of locals seem to be dining since the wait staff knew their name and normal drink order. Really cool old pics of Trinadad on the walls. And of course you can't miss the old sign in the front. I had my usual breakfast order I would at any breakfast joint; Country Fried Steak & eggs, scrambled. It came with hash browns, and choice of toast or pancakes. Of course you go with the pancakes! They bring warm syrup and real butter scoops on top melting down the side of the cake. Awesome! The steak was fried perfectly and it was not greasy! Eggs were fluffy and browns had the right crunch. Not overcooked. The coffee was served in a normal mug with pictures on it like you were at home. The staff is trying it's best to follow all the new regulations and are really helpful and friendly. This place was a welcomed treat and I'll definitely be back. Thank you, Bob & Earl! read more

Great find thanks to yelp and google. Ah, the Information Age. We had breakfast around 10am on Sunday. Friendly service, patrons and great food. Pancakes are some of the best I've tasted. Veggie omelette Rocked! Coffee was even good. No frills, fill your stomach breakfast at a cheap price. Highly recommend! read more

I went to this place with the family and no one liked it we were over charged they had below average food and it was just plain terrible when thinking about it now the service was bad and I got a hamburger and the bread was dry the meat had no juices to it I do not recommend to another family. read more

My husband and I were in the mood for some comfort food and Bob & Earl's hit the spot. It is a small diner on the outskirts of town with formica tables and a counter, nothing fancy, but very clean, and full of large families going out to eat on Sunday afternoon. I ordered the roast beef with mashed potatoes and brown gravy for $8.95. Was it a culinary masterpiece? No, but it was very tasty comfort food. My husband ordered the Santa Fe Burger which was huge with handmade patties and green chilis. It came with delicious homemade french fries - lots of them. It was also very reasonably priced. Our waitress recommended the coconut cream pie and I am so glad that I took her advise. It was wonderful. I will definitely be back next time I am in Trinidad for more friendly service and tasty home cookin'. read more

Wonderful hamburgers and homemade French fries. Well worth the stop. Beats eating at a chain restaurant any day. Not far off I-25 and all the reviews are accurate. Huge hamburgers. I had the kids burger and it was more than adequate. read more

Bob and Earl's Cafe - Yum - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Trinidad, Colorado

I had a blueberry pancake- it was huge and served with real butter. Our server was a very nice woman and was GREAT at her job. We moved seats around because my brother was hot and she still got all of our orders right. Added bonus was that she was super nice :) - good coffee, fair prices, standard fare - They were busy Sunday morning so plan accordingly. There's a second room in the back so there's more room than you'd think. Mama's cooking, right here. read more

Great place just outside of town. They've got an extensive menu for all meals, but breakfast happens to be my favorite. This is the place all the local go to every single weekend - always a good sign. The breakfast burritos are amazing, and the green chile is fantastic. Staff is friendly, fast and attentive. read more

Yummy burgers! We stopped while traveling and unfortunately it was the day they were trading the new chef so it took a bit to get our food but it was good. The table over got some chili cheese fries that looked amazing! read more

Our family stopped here for breakfast and wanted to avoid the usual fast food places along the road. Small diner just outside of town but well worth the trip. I had the smothered burrito. The smaller version was a dollar less and it was half the burrito, so I ordered the full burrito since it was just a dollar more. It was so good I finished all of it. I ordered it smothered with green chile. My kids ordered pancakes and french toast and were both delicious. Service was efficient and friendly. Will be stopping here again on the road back from Colorado Springs. read more

Very good. I wish there were more places like this. Fast, friendly, and very affordable. My wife and I were passing through, stopped in and got a couple burgers, ate, and were out in about 30 minutes. I left more than a 50% tip and our total bill was still only $20. Highly recommend. read more

Really enjoyed eating lunch here and we were planning on going back for breakfast but the time in that area didn't work out. Happy we doubt this place. read more

My family and I stopped here during our road trip from Texas to Colorado and I have to say it was a very pleasant experience. My little sister said it reminded her of our grandparents' house so there was a nice simple yet comfortable atmosphere about the place. And then the good was awesome! If we ever come through Trinidad again, we will definitely stop at Bob and Earl's Cafe. read more

This business is located off the beaten path, but well worth it. It is a small run cafe with home cooked food and lots of it. I had breakfast there twice and could not finish the egg omelet, hash browns, and pancakes because it was so much food. But tasted wonderful. A definite place to go stop at. read more

Terrible. Traveling through and saw good reviews on Yelp so thought we would try. No atmosphere. I ordered the hot turkey sandwich - instant potatoes, deli sandwich turkey 2 thin sliced, thin cheap white bread, and packed white gravy (not Turkey). Could have had much better ANYWHERE else! read more

Love this place! Homemade pancakes, huge portions for the price, quick friendly service. Like bring at grandmas house! Great coffee! Will definitely return! read more
