Food lackluster, service very slow, restaurant needs to be cleaned. How does it pass inspection?

We passed up our hotel breakfast to come here. It is a very inviting atmosphere. We received fast service for ordering, checking on us and paying. Waiting for the food, however, seemed forever. I think were there about and a half. Neenie was our waitress and she was fabulous. We both had the mountain morning breakfast. He had scrambled eggs, I had basted. His scrambled were underdone. My basted needed salt and pepper, which I never use at the table. I do get they would rather customers season themselves, however. The potatoes would have been perfect had they not been lukewarm. The bacon was done to perfection for me. The husband prefers his less than crispy. All in all it was better than what the hotel had to offer read more

This was probably the worst breakfast we've had in a very long time. We were on our way home from camping, and we should have just cooked breakfast ourselves on the campfire... The server seemed to be stoned and completely out of it. We ordered the egg sandwich on jalapeño cheddar bread, and the bread was wet, and each slice was about 2.5 inches thick... compared to the one small egg and piece of bacon on it. I asked for the potatoes to be "extra crispy" and every single one of us got potatoes that were completely uncooked. Total waste of money, do not go here. read more

This place was great! Meg was the friendliest waitress I've ever met. I have a lot of allergies including gluten, and she patiently went over my options with a smile and was very accommodating. I asked if they cooked their gluten free waffles in a separate cooker and they said they did so I ordered the plain butter and powdered sugar gluten free waffles. They were delicioussssss! The rest of my group said they had equally amazing food, ordering the regular butter waffles, the oriental salad, and the country burrito. The price is very affordable as well. For all 4 of us to eat was under $40. Definitely would come back here again if traveling through the Rockies :) read more

Beware they are not that happy. I went in with my friends and my service dog. At first the waitress said no to my service dog then checked with someone in the kitchen about the service dog The waitress came back and pointed to a empty room off to the right of the restaurant and said sit at the farthest table you can find in that room. Then when she came to the table she always had arms reach between us and her putting down the menus said the whole tray of drinks for us to unload and I finally asked her are you allergic to dogs and she said no she was very standoffish and rude. The food was OK but definitely happy cooker should not be their name and be aware if you have a service dog they are not even service dog friendly can you go Dear Michael. It wasn't the space we were Told to go to. It was the sit as far as you can over there. It was also handing us everything at arms length and setting the whole tray with drinks on the table and scurrying over. It was handing us everything from the furthest distance. The space was fine. I thought maybe you waitress was allergic or afraid. We couldn't tell but the rudeness came across. read more

The first was good coffee. If coffee is good, then the food has a high probability of being good. I was not disappointed. Amazing food!! Great service. Ordered the mountain morning breakfast, 2 eggs, bacon, home fries, English muffin. Everything is cooked to order. Bacon was perfect, best I've had in a long time. I wish had taken a picture before devouring my meal. read more

Got the Meatloaf Mountain, which tastes much more sophisticated than it sounds, and the Waffle Surprise for dessert. The Meatloaf Mountain is a slab of Texas toast with a brick of meatloaf topped with a cloud of mash and drowned in beef gravy. It was such a delicious dish, with dill and onion flavoring the meat very well. The bread had a good crust and was both flaky and chewy, and perfect to sop up any leftover sauce. The Waffle Surprise was probably the best waffle that I have ever had. I don't know what it was about the batter, but it tasted like cake. And the Waffle itself was fluffy without being too dense, and crispy without being crunchy. I'm not sure how to describe it well, but it was perfect! The cordial cherries on top were fantastic -- not too sweet, not too tart, and the perfect topping on the waffle along with whipped cream! Overall the experience was satisfying, and the staff were friendly enough. I wish there was a bit more ventilation in the restaurant to circulate the air, even though social distancing was enforced. We were seated at half capacity, but the restaurant still felt a little cramped. The food was a winner and I'd like to come back! read more

Tried to have breakfast here this morning. We had 2 dogs so asked to sit outside. Host was extremely rude telling us we had to have to go ( which was fine) but said rudely that we had to wait our turn. Not a good way of treating tourist customers. I now understand the poor review rating this place has. We went to 'Mammas needy things' down the road, much much better! read more

Happy Cooker was by far an abominable experience! If you like large portions with no flavor or quality ingredients, go here. If you want your dry waffle served with no syrup or toppings, go here. If you want dried out roast beef and stale bread with your au jus, go here. If you want a grilled cheese that has no butter and so dry that your thirst will never be quenched, go here. I would not even recommend this place to my worst enemy, nor would I allow the wildlife roaming the mountain side to eat this food. read more

We were sight-seeing in the Georgetown area and spotted this restaurant around lunch time It had great Yelp ratings and we decided to give it a try. We weren't disappointed. Three of our group had the French dip sandwiches while I opted for the mountain meatloaf sandwich. All 4 of us had home fries. The food and the service were both excellent. The menu also includes a number of vegetarian options. The building itself dates to the mid 1800's and is quite interesting. read more

We arrived at the latter end of the lunch rush. Got seated right away. Waiter wasn't overly friendly. Don't recall her smiling until she brought the check. Food was ok. Ordered two of their famous cinnamon buns to take home. Make sure you look at them before you leave. We didn't and discovered the next morning that they were over cooked. Top and bottom were hard as rocks and the center dry as a desert. read more

The server was not very friendly and blamed it on a big party that was there hours prior to us. The biscuits and gravy were disgusting. There was no flavor to the gravy and it tasted like flour. Nothing on the menu sounded good. Very disappointed. read more

Wow.. what a find in Georgetown... definitely worth taking time to stop in this little restaurant to have a quick bite to eat.... We enjoyed their breakfast burrito with yummy green chili.. so good we took an extra quart home for later. We also had the Huevos Rancheros which were also very good.... Our other breakfast companion had the red chili... which I would not suggest....only a small step up from canned chili... but the homemade bread was delicious... I look forward to returning to this "happy place" on our next trip up the hill!. read more

We came here with 20 of us after going on the Georgetown Loop Railroad. We had a reservation for 2:15pm, but they could not get us all in right away because their restaurant isn't that big. We got seated in smaller groups till all of us got seated by about 2:25pm, which was not too bad. We got started off with a side salad, which you either have the choice of ranch or balsamic dressing. After that I ordered the chicken pot pie. Their version of a chicken pot pie is 4 halves of biscuit covered with a creamy chicken gravy. It was flavorful and tasted pretty good. At the end we got the brownie with vanilla ice cream, that was delicious. The brownie was still warm, so the ice cream was melting into it while you were eating it. Overall, the food was good, but nothing special. The service was really good even though our server had to serve all 20 of us. It was busy there, but they were doing their best to take care of us. read more

On our trip back to Los Angeles we stopped here to explore the town as it was a historical area my partner wanted to see. We were traveling with our 6 pound service dog and my 11 year old daughter. I have been training service dogs for years and I know the laws and I know the concerns. I also know federal law trumps all state laws. This dog is my 11 year olds dog. It We were turned away after a very young man demanded to see "papers"...and did not know the laws. You can eject the service dog for misbehavior but you cannot refuse service to someone with a service animal and cannot ask for the medical reasons of why nor can a business demand papers. We left peacefully but then I returned on my own as my daughter and partner were dining down the street with the dog at The 100 year old bar and restaurant called red ram. We were not questioned at all so therefore I knew this boy knew nothing of what he was talking about. FEDERAL LAW trumps all state laws. I plan to file a federal complaint about this incident and I highly suggest the manager and owner find a solution. The young man certainly needs training on how to interact with people. When I returned and spoke to this young man I handed him the card about the federal laws of service dogs. At that point he wanted to get his manager but at that point I was to frustrated.. We were not dining there. The attitude of this young man was very poor and he treated my partner who is close to 60 years old like she had no idea what she was doing. I have helped other service dog owners pursue the federal laws for being declined and denied access under the law. These cases now so settle in court for millions of dollars for this type of behavior. Will I pursue it, YES...I will be filing a federal complaint what happens from there is up to the legal system. I have never been turned away from any establishment and I too am in my fifties. How it was handled the embarrassment of being questioned affected my 11 year old daughter as well as our experience. read more

My family drove two hours to come to enjoy this restaurant that we had heard good things about. We had eight people and they said they couldn't seat all of us at once because they had just seated another group of eight people. When we said we can split tables and even pay separately they said that since we all came in as a group they couldn't serve or seat us down. I don't know if their food is good, but their customer service is absolutely awful and I don't recommend anyone come here. There is no "happy" here. read more

Racist place! Beware! We come yearly to Georgetown and it's one of our favorite places! My parents and I and my 6 and 9 year old were excited to have lunch at The Happy Cooker before heading to the Beautiful Georgetown Loop Railroad. When we walked in and asked to be seated, the girl at the front in a rude tone said she didn't know if she could see us outside even though there were people seated outside and 2 empty tables. We waited for a little bit and another host came we asked him if we could sit outside. Again with a rude tone, he said well it's going to be a few minutes! We said that was not a problem and we were happy to wait. He proceeded to pick up a newspaper in front of my face and start reading it as opposed to seating us. We waited outside for another five minutes and someone finally seated us. We sat down at the table for another 5 to 7 minutes. The server then rudely came up to us and told us to get up because the table has been reserved. She told us we could sit at another table. As we were getting our things to move that table, she gruffly said go wait inside! You can't just move to the other table! They did everything in their power to get us to leave, so we finally left. They were being very kind to the tables seated around us (all white people). We attempted to take the appropriate steps and call the visitor center since the city doesn't have a chamber of commerce and share our experience with them. They rudely dismissed us and told us they weren't affiliated and there was nothing they could do. We didn't want anything in return. Just an acknowledgment of the way we were treated so that others don't have to go through the same thing. We wish we had read the reviews before going to this restaurant. Hope this helps others from experiencing such racism. So sad. We went to Silverbrick tavern afterwards and had a wonderful experience!! Everyone was so kind and the food was great! read more

Service was great, place is an old house and cute despite it needs a little TLC. We were sat right away on a Friday about 1pm despite Covid there was no wait & they seat every other table. I got the BLAT, concerned that there was really nothing wet on the sandwich I asked for Mayo. My friend got biscuits & gravy with a side of home fries. Mine looked good at first glance then I took off the top bun to put Mayo on it & the bacon was so cooked it was black & hard, the saddest bacon I have ever seen, honestly I should have removed it but I didn't instead I tried to just cover it with Mayo so I could still make it part of my meal. I didn't try hers, but he sausage looked way over cooked & dry too. We asked for a lot of things to try & make our meals more editable like hot sauce, salt & pepper, sadly even these coverups didn't suffice. Mine was just bland, honestly the chips were the best part of my meal. We ate what we ordered because we were very hungry & the plates costly. Sadly we will boy eat here again. Good luck! read more

I wanted to love this place. Located in a beautiful little town, I was expecting some good home-style cooking, I was hoping for a small-town gem. YEAH, NO. Not today, not this place. The only thing I can praise is the bacon. Other than that I was extremely disappointed. Our waitress seemed annoyed by anything we had to say and had a condescending answer to any question we had. Very unpleasant experience. One of us got a side order of bacon which was never served to us, and once mentioned, the waitress carelessly disregarded it. My order included bacon, fruit, english waffles and a poached egg. The egg wasn't actually poached. it seemed to be fried in one of those half-hemisphere moulds that make an egg look "poached". The "fresh" fruit looked like it was cut days before showing up on my plate. Like previous reviews, the table has a cup and a glass for every person, which takes up extra space. My designated glass had obvious, multiple lip stains on it which weren't mine, which really makes me question the cleanliness of the other plates, cups, glasses, etc. read more

***UPDATE*** The owner deleted his incredibly rude public response to me about 20 minutes after I posted this updated review. Luckily, I took a screenshot of his rude and untrue commentary in addition to the screenshot of his private message. Be sure to check both of them out to see how this owner handles legitimate criticism due to poor front-of-house management and even worse food. Avoid at all costs. ***UPDATE*** To potential customers: If I could give negative stars, I would. The (UN)Happy Cooker's owner's response to my original review is absolutely concerning. Even more concerning is the screenshot I've posted where he privately messages me with threats and ultimatums. If these responses are his ideas of a solution, then like I said in my original review, RUN, don't walk- RUN AWAY. It's interesting how he falsely accused me publicly of causing a scene but never once in his private message was there a mention of these "scenes" I supposedly caused. Unless asking politely for a refund for an incorrect order and a day-old cinnamon roll is considered causing a scene LOL. The owner must be confused with the multiple unhappy customers who left or were asked to leave by the @sshole servers. Think long and hard before you decide to support a business like this. Although, after you read his public response and private message, I'm sure it will be an easy decision. To the owner: Your response explains exactly why your business and your reviews are the way they are. It's unfortunate that you are blinded by the truth since most, if not all, of your negative reviews are in response to the terrible and rude customer service. Perhaps you're also deaf because I was not the only customer your family was rude to in the 25 minutes we waited patiently for the wrong order. 3 families left within 15 minutes of us getting there and that should have been our cue to leave. Did you not hear those unhappy customers as well? Does communication not run in your family-owned business? Perhaps you're not in the right business if your response to a "busy and stressful" day is to threaten customers and make excuses for the poor service and bad food. I reviewed how poorly the business was being run, and you decide to make personal attacks. Clearly, this is indicative that you are not in the right industry. My family and I have been to Georgetown many times, and we have experienced many friendly and welcoming family-owned businesses. Yours is the first bad one, but hey, there's always a bad apple in every bunch! I can say with complete confidence that it is not your honest customers giving Georgetown a bad name, but rather a certain (UN)Happy Cooker. read more

The word cute encapsulates what I feel when reminiscing about this place (and Georgetown in general). Eating at the Happy Cooker was like being whisked away to a mountain fairytale. Food: I came here with a friend after someone had recommended the restaurant next door. Not in the mood for greasy bbq, we headed to this place. At first we thought it might be someone's house, but indeed it was a restaurant. They serve some unexpected items here including quiche (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/269qtsq2FzvTLE7g4wPoJQ?select=PZG1S0ZxPsKEARD3XdcGAA, http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/269qtsq2FzvTLE7g4wPoJQ?select=Gv_6NtFAa3a1KVv79FG9ZA), but have a broad reaching brunch and lunch menu. To be honest, the quiche was pretty sub standard... it looked and tasted like one of those rubber gloves housewives use to wash dishes. My quiche came with a side of fruit and some bean soup. The fruit was pretty standard as fruits go, but I imagine it's hard to get a huge variety when you live in a sliver of a valley in the Rockies. Atmosphere: This is what kept me in a chipper mood during the meal. If you're lucky enough to be on the patio or by a window you can look outside and see the splendor of the mountains. As and added bonus, you can enjoy the incredibly domestic interior. The restaurant is built inside the cutest house (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/269qtsq2FzvTLE7g4wPoJQ?select=XQG6aUctslm16FUu7IXS8A) with fresh flowers at every table (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/269qtsq2FzvTLE7g4wPoJQ?select=fudKLui_jrh85HzHN9Oa2Q). Service: Um.. someone call Child Protective Services... either the waitresses in here know some secret to aging or they are actually 12. Synopsis: Good if you're in Georgetown, but don't expect too much. The quiche was like eating overly scrambled eggs on pie crust, but I'm impressed they had it at all. read more

The Happy Cooker is a great little place to get lunch or breakfast in Georgetown along I-70. Nestled on the corner of a beautiful and historic street, you will not be disappointed with the atmosphere one bit. You can see the mountains rising above this tiny old main street. Dogs looked to be welcome outside next to your table. Lots of cute little shops to browse through after your meal. The outdoor seating patio is full of umbrella tables, perfect for kicking back and enjoying a Bloody Mary or a Mimosa with your meal. We sat inside to keep from getting too much sun. Our waitress told me that breakfast was served all day long. The menu has all of the classics, eggs, bacon, toast, biscuits and gravy, fruits, sandwiches, coffees, deserts, classic home cooking. I'm pretty sure anything on the menu would have been yummy and tasty. I ordered the breakfast burrito smothered in green chili for lunch. I ate every last bit of it, soaking up the green chili with a piece of toast. The portions are good sized compared to the price. The food is around $7-$9 a meal. I was very happy stopping here to get a bite to eat. You need to try it for yourself if you've never been to Georgetown, CO. read more

Very mediocre food and service. My salad was wilted and the small amount of veggies on it were not good. My sandwich was okay, but I could have easily made a better one. And definitely do not bring your water bottle or any outside drinks even on their patio. The guy who was a hostess was very rude about it. I won't be back. read more

First time here and it will not be out last time! My family and I love this place for first timers. The waffles are AMAZING! our server was nice and polite. As soon as we approached the door, a server told us someone will be with us shortly. Most places we go to they just ignore us until the host is finally available to seat us. The mimosa was very good for only $4. WOW. we enjoyed our Father's Day weekend breakfast here :) read more
