    Very unique environment! Inspiring quotes on their w walls! Great food! Friendly service. And fast delivery of food!

    If you want a great meal with wonderful service, laid back feel and family owned then this is your place. I go to breakfast alone every week and I have to say JC's was the most welcoming without being in your face. I was comfortable being alone and well taken care of. The chicken fried steak was cooked perfectly, gravy was a little thin but that's Personal preference! I will be bringing the family back with me next time.

    Was getting my care serviced at a place close by on an early Saturday morning. Was lucky enough to have a friend in the area and decided to go to breakfast to spend some of the time out of the waiting area of the dealership. We decided to see what was around and happened on this little gem. I will admit I was a little leery of the location and outside appearance. It is lived in. What the heck, some of the best food I've eaten had come out of worse looking places. It's laid back, easy, and an amazing breakfast at a reasonable price. I do love some corned beef hash. We were chattering so I ordered quickly. I was pleasantly surprised when the hash was cooked just the way I like it. Crispy! Lots of great stuff on the menu. Next time I have to drive to Golden I will be stopping back for more!

    Great local joint - super friendly people, excellent food and generous portions. If you leave hungry, that's on you!

    We stopped here for breakfast on the way back from Breckenridge. Service was fast and portions were good. The ambiance of the restaurant is unique and eclectic. It features writing on the wall and various different grouped decorations. My husband and I had the huevos rancheros. The platter was swimming in the green chili sauce. The sauce was good, not too hot. My daughter had the breakfast burrito. It was good sized and also swimming in the green chili sauce. That was the only downside as there was no mention of the sauce for that item on the menu. My other daughter had the grilled cheese and tater tots. The sandwich was good but the tots were over cooked and a bit too crispy.

    Mass Confusion with bacon and sunny side up eggs!  Seriously enough for two meals.

    Sometimes closed at odd times, like many small businesses. But if they are open the prices are good and the food is great.

    How is the Mexican food?

    So far, so good. Chile Rellenos, Huevos Rancheros for breakfast options, as well as green chili options as a topper to the chicken fried steak.

They are consistently great, which is why you'll almost always find the place buzzing with energy. The location is fantastic--it's situated right next to Bear Creek, providing a cool, relaxing atmosphere that really captures the mountain vibe. As for the food, it's excellent across the board. The breakfast scrambles are a highlight, topped with fresh sauces and served with perfectly crispy hash brown medallions. Their smothered burritos are another must-try, loaded with melted cheese and served with fresh sides. Beyond the plate, the staff is always wonderful, making you feel welcome even when they are slammed. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this is a staple for a reason. Rating:

Blackbird is cutesy and inviting with brightly painted exterior (featuring butterflies and sunflowers), cozy and wooded interior, with one hell of a Creekside view. The layout inside is a little awkward - and entrance is right near the kitchen. However, we maneuvered to a table in the corner near the window - with a nice, sunny view and was greeted by a friendly face who gave us a rundown of the specials and allowed us ample time to peruse the menu. We decided to sip on Arnold palmers and split The Rachel - essentially a Turkey Ruben with a side of fries and sweet potato fries - because two types of fries is always the right choice! Within about 10 minutes, our food arrived, which was just what the doctor ordered. Splitting the meal was perfect, as the sandwich was huge. Mom's fries were delicious while my sweet potato fries were a little burnt, but still yummy. Service was friendly, welcoming and accommodating to our lunch date. Pricing is on point and reasonable for a cute mountain town. I'd easily return!

It's located in Golden, Colorado, right across the street from the world-famous Coors Brewery, so the setting is already pretty cool and scenic. Bob's Atomic Burgers has a great neighborhood-joint feel: small, cozy, clean, and eclectic, with interesting stuff on the walls and a fun local vibe. When we walked in, there was a table near the door with order sleeves and paper forms where you build your burger by choosing the meat, bun, cheese, free toppings, and extra toppings. They have a really good selection. I went with a single beef patty on a white bun with American cheese, pickles, raw jalapeños, tomatoes, green chiles, banana peppers, and a large fry. We turned in our order sleeves at the counter and ordered fountain drinks. When we mentioned it was our first visit, the staff gave us a very warm welcome. The young lady behind the counter explained a little about the place and how the ordering process worked, which was much appreciated. The burgers are made to order, so we waited about 10-15 minutes. Honestly, that worked out perfectly because indoor seating is limited, and during the wait we were able to grab a table. They also have outdoor seating, though it was raining when we visited. When the burgers came out, they looked amazing. I'd describe them as a cross between a smash burger and a traditional patty, and I really liked that. My burger was delicious, juicy, flavorful, and messy in the best possible way. The large fries came in the usual paper sleeve, but it was absolutely overflowing, and the fries were hot, fresh, cooked to order, and excellent. This was honestly one of the best burgers I've ever had. Great food, friendly staff, cool atmosphere, and a local feel that big chains just can't touch. Skip the lame McDonald's or Burger King run and go somewhere that makes an actual great burger. Bob's Atomic Burgers is absolutely worth the visit.

I tried the pickle on the burger and it was already brined salty, then if you bread that and fry it and then season it... it was unbelievably salty....

The items on the menu had average prices to them, so there was no sticker shock on that end but, when did restaraunts start charging extra for sides of ranch?! It's not enough to cover your restaraunt costs with the $25 burger I just ordered? This restaraunt is located in a touristy town, so I'm sure they get all the traffic they need, but as a local I will not be back!
