Joe Mamas - Outside sign - Comfort Food Near Me - Palmer Lake, Colorado

Really decent breakfast. The young fella working solo was handling the whole floor with grace and humor ! The coffee was rich and I loved the little jars of cream instead of the disposable plastic creamer's most restaurants inexplicably favor . I also noticed they have a Full Bar available if it's ThaT sort of brunch (ie Bloody Mary& Mimosa time ) Most breakfast dishes were $15 plus , but that reflects the present economy I suppose.? The patio had a lovely view and some yard games for child distraction , which is better than fussy children, therefore , bravo . For desert I got an apple pastry which looked good , but truly was a bit "soggy " ? So a mixed yet mostly satisfying experience. read more

Please note!: Joe Mamas' has moved to "PALMER LAKE!!" The small lovely restaurant tried to stay in Wheat Ridge/Lakewood area, yet could not find the right place. If you are in Palmer Lake I highly recommend Joe Mammas, her food is rather "Homespun, with vegan - vegetarian - meat product with HUMUNGAS PORTIONS. While being delicious!! I had to insist on "PLEASE A VERY SMALL PORTION, I'M RATHER SMALL!" She would giggle and offer what she believed was a small portion to myself and Pretty Eyes. We all will miss Joe Mamas here in Wheat Ridge area! The small restaurant was delightfully decorated and comfy with wifi and a hidden gem of a patio. Unfortunately, her neighbors and parking were a constant skirmish. Please note this when viewing the past photos and the darling homeyness of what we all will miss! read more

We popped in for Lu ch on a Saturday and enjoyed our meal on their patio. The ambiance was wonderful. The service took longer than we expected. We ordered the bacon cheeseburger and cheese steak with Swiss cheese. The food was ok. The breakfast items look way yummier. We will probably pop in again for breakfast. read more

New breakfast option in Palmer Lake has a great deck out back for outdoor dining. Indoors is quaintly decorated with plenty of seating. A long bar covers the main room's wall. Not much has changed since it used to be 105 Social House. I just tried the basic eggs and bacon this time around, and my husband had the pancakes, and both were pretty standard. About $14-16. Next time I'd like to try the breakfast pie since it's uniquely theirs. They had $5 Bloody Mary's and Mimosas, but we didn't partake. And I didn't try the coffee so can't report on that. Very nice waitress shared that they also serve lunch and dinner and are known for their sloppy joes. Entertained by a couple of spotted fawns! read more

Cute place with friendly staff and delicious food. The location is great as it right by the lake. We will be back, and soon.

Was there for breakfast on Aug 9th. Food not good and service slow. Waiter nice, but they seemed understaffed. Two breakfast pies ordered, mediocre at best. Cinnamon roll almost not edible because it was so dry and hard. While we were eating there a man arrived with an unleashed dog and staff said nothing to him. While i am not opposed to dog on patio, dog should have been leashed and not running around other tables. read more

Delish breakfast bowl with eggs green chile potatoes bacon and cheese! Make it a regular on the menu :-) also had a decent prosecco which is always a welcome surprise. They often have live music during breakfast / brunch hours which is a treat. read more

Definitely an interesting vibe. Definitely not what I expected. However, the food, the coffee, the staff, etc was all incredible. Our server was so sweet and helpful. And everything is homemade in house. The jam was so great. It's located inside a dive bar and has plenty of parking behind the building, but the entrance is in the front. Just go. Try it out! read more

Joe Mamas - Comfort Food Near Me - Palmer Lake, Colorado

Interesting spot! It was not what I expected from previous reviews and photos -- Joe Mama's is inside a dive bar. I was expecting to be greeted with a cute and quaint brunch-y interior, and instead walked into a dark bar filled with a smell of cigarettes. I felt a bit out of place sitting down to order breakfast when everybody else in the restaurant was at the bar having some beverages and watching sports. All that aside, the service was phenomenal and I enjoyed the breakfast pie. It tasted like it had just been heated up, but it was still tasty and a good quantity for the price. A very home-y feel. Definitely a unique spot! read more

We were first timers at Joe Mama's in Palmer Lake. The restaurant is so quaint and very clean. The back deck is beautiful and has plenty is space for a large gathering in nicer weather. They are renovating a larger space in the back of the restaurant for larger events in the future. Food: my husband ordered the breakfast pie and I ordered the chicken fried steak with potatoes minus the eggs. The plates come with homemade jam which is delicious. Hubby's meal came with green chile which I always try and I enjoyed it but would have like more spice (just my preference). I enjoyed everything except the cfs. It wasn't crispy and was a bit tough to chew. The staff was extremely friendly and attentive. I am definitely going to be back though because of the amazing staff and I want to try the other items on the menu. read more

Wow just wow. Just driving through and decided to stop in for dinner. Food was absolutely outstanding. Got the Ruben and fish and chips. The corned beef was so tender it melted in your mouth! The fish and chips were super good. Batter was light and not all greasy. Our server was super attentive and friendly. Restaurant itself was plain but made up for it in the food. Great little place. read more

Great pizza, great drinks and a plus for us was that they were dog friendly. I highly recommend checking them out.

Very friendly and hospitable staff, the food is pretty fire and generous portions. I loved the unique coffee cups and the home cooking vibes. My one and only issue okay maybe two, the coffee was lackluster and pretty watery. As well, there was no music and that would have been a nice for smaller groups so that talking is less awkward. Great job to our waitress Ashley, you crushed it! read more

Wow! So delicious! Food is perfect! Get the egg pie special! Quality, price, portion size is spot on! This would def be my go-to breakfast/brunch spot if I resided in town! So friendly, too! I always encourage an open kitchen so it was nice to get a glimpse of how clean it was, also. (Hilarious name, btw, made me chuckle, and def attracted me to your spot above any other local jams in the area!) The jam is seasonal and to die for!!! Wow! And the bread is 100% family recipe from Slovakia! Its like an egg/Paska bread!!! Coffee is really good too, didn't even need cream or sugar :) This place and owner is killin' it!!! read more

I went there, Friday night about 5:38 it was dark, sign said open, not one car in the parking lot, not one person in front, on the side patio or on the back, there was not one light on anywhere in the restaurant, except the open sign. The only cars were in back hiding! The restaurant did not look like they were welcoming guests so I went to O' Malley's. read more

This breakfast spot shares a space with a local dive bar (I say that lovingly), The Rambling Rose. The inside is dated, but don't let that scare you. The two women that run this breakfast/lunch operation know what they are doing. The food is delicious and priced right. Everything is cooked fresh to order and the portions are generous. The service is friendly and it feels great to support a woman owned local business! read more

Yes, it's in a dive bar called the Rambling Rose. Yes, there will be locals drinking at the bar at 9a on a Saturday. Don't let the exterior fool you...seriously. Go inside! The food is awesome and the staff is super sweet. Definitely recommend for that unique, local, dive-y experience. We both had pancakes, bacon and eggs. The bacon was thick cut and cooked to perfection - crispy but not burnt. Pancakes were awesome. read more

Joe Mamas - Pancakes, eggs and bacon! - Comfort Food Near Me - Palmer Lake, Colorado

Don't let the outside fool you. ...or the shops on either side. Go for it! Take the plunge and go inside. This may be the very best breakfast on the West side of Denver. Bar none. Here is why you should go. 1. Everything is home made. From Scratch. I mean the jelly preserves, herbs from the owners garden, locally sourced items for everything. No mixes, nothing frozen. Fresh! home made. Equals Tender loving care, a passion for good food and taking care of things that matter. 2. Locally owned. Robin the owner is hands on. Friendly. Been in the restaurant business for many years. Knows what she is doing. Her expertise and passion exude confidence. The place was decorated for Easter. Fresh flowers on every table -- a nice touch. The breakfast pie was phenomenal, tasty, light and fluffy with sausage. Your choice of toast. The cherry rhubarb preserves delicious. Served with perfectly ripened fresh fruit. No shortcuts anywhere. Joe Mama's ROCKS!!! read more

CAN I JUST SAY WOW!! My husband and I were visiting for AZ and were with a group and needed a quick bite to eat. When you first walk in, you're greeted with an at home feel that the town of Palmer Lake is known for. The space felt comfortable and there was ample indoor and outdoor seating! We stopped off here for brunch which was a hit! We ordered Bloody Mary's, Breakfast Pie, Sirloin, Breakfast Burritos - it was all great. Lucy, our server was the absolute best - she was so welcoming, made us feel at home & invited us to do karaoke later that night. We came back for karaoke and absolutely had the time of our lives. There was barely anyone else there which was a travesty because we had the absolute best time ever!! They have a back room for karaoke and decorated with holiday decor. Robin the owner is such a sweetheart and clearly has the biggest heart. We ended up eating here again for dinner & the menu was fantastic - everything was homemade & you could tell - it was delicious & you left feeling great about what you ate. If you are in the Palmer Lake area - please show some support to Joe Mama's - they're new to the area but see this place being a Palmer Lake staple!! Can't wait to visit the Joe Mama's family again!! read more

I'm always interested why a place can have such few reviews but have such high ratings. This place deserves the high ratings but way more attention!!! The average is 4.8 stars and if you're judging solely off the service and the food I still think 4.9 is too low. They recently moved from Colfax to wheat ridge attached to a divey bar. The woman who greeted us was a jack of all trades. She was not only our server but also the owner and also the sweetest person alive. She was the perfect pairing to our comfort food breakfast. I ordered the sweet potato maple pecan pancakes and the taste was amazing. Something about being able to physically see the pieces of sweet potato mashed into the pancake, sounds like a small Touch, but it went a long way in my book when a lot of places like to take shortcuts and use either a powdered or syrupy replacement. My wife's French toast was just as delicious. She said that this new location was only temporary but I could care less because I will follow this place to the end of the earth (assuming it has a Colorado Address) if I have to read more

We ordered a "cheese steak" and a patty melt. Received 2 cheese steaks. My cheese steak was NOT a Philly style as advertised. When my wife's patty melt finally arrived it was all Patty and no melt. This new restaurant is not ready for prime time. The old Villa building is still old, dirty and fly-ridden. The lunch and dinner menu is very sparse. It would well to have photos of the few menu items; there is plenty of space on it. I operate an Air BnB and will not be adding this place to my recommendations until they demonstrate a much higher standard. read more

Delicious! We had the breakfast pie which was amazing and served with a side of scrumptious green chili, fruit and toast and my husband had the sausage breakfast burrito which is smothered in green chili. Highly recommend you check out this place. They have indoor and outdoor seating and a fun backyard area to play lawn games. Everything looked tasty and we look forward to trying more items. Service was outstanding as well! read more

This is a Hidden TREASURE!! Truly some of the best breakfast I've had in Denver. I grew up on a farm and this is downhome good food! The menu is so sophisticated and well executed. It's amazing, I've never had anything that was mid. The eggs come from the owners own chickens. She makes her own jams. It's located inside the Rambling Rose bar, which is a true dive, which I love. If you can't handle a bunch of good ol boys drinking at 10am or the smell of cigarettes this isn't the place for you. This is not a prissy Instagram worthy place for the yuppies. I love it. It's home. The dishes is all mismatched and feels like your at your Aunties. The regulars will yell across the bar at each other, cussing and carrying on. The service can be a little slower, but there's only ever one waitress. I don't mind that, it's well worth it and it's good to slow down sometimes. read more

Great food + super nice people! We were looking for a good brunch spot in an unfamiliar part of town and this restaurant kept popping up in my searches. Uncertain the type of restaurant and knowing 11:30am on Sunday is a popular brunch time, I decided to try to make reservations. Joe Mamas doesn't have a website but there was an option on Google to request a reservation using Google Assistant, which I'd never heard of. Even though it was nearly Saturday at midnight, Google Assistant promised to "call the restaurant" to confirm our reservation. I was skeptical. However, by 9-9:30 the next morning, I had an email that Google Assistant had, indeed, called Joe Mamas to confirm our reservation. I don't know what kind of witchcraft this is but I like it. While this part of town is pretty empty on Sunday mornings, we knew we were at the right place when we saw a full parking lot. We found a space and started to walk in but two nice gentlemen warned us we should move our car because the business to the east (where we parked) liked to tow. We thanked the men and moved to a space on the west side. Joe Mamas is currently sharing buildings with The Rambling Rose bar. The bar was pretty full with people already enjoying beer and a game of pool at 10:45am on Sunday, but we found a table and perused Joe Mamas menu. Personally I had a hard time deciding what to order because it all sounded amazing; items like Brown Sugar French Toast and Sweet Potato Pancakes were sooo tempting! The table next to us ordered the Breakfast Burrito, which looked amazing and was H U G E. Ultimately I decided on a dish that gave me a taste of several items - eggs cooked to order, bacon, country potatoes, fruit, and toast. My partner ordered the oatmeal with several add-on toppings, and my son ordered the Brown Sugar French Toast with bacon. Everything we ate was super tasty! The only standard item was the toast (barely toasted, simple, white bread. Meh.) but the homemade cherry rhubarb jam elevated it enough that I had no complaints. The server was also wonderful. She was a friend of the owner/chef who was just helping out and she was super friendly and kind! B O T T O M L I N E : Go. This isn't a fancy place and we probably didn't need a reservation, but it's definitely worth a stop one casual Sunday! read more

The type of place you can get a lottery ticket, a Bloody Mary and a delicious patty melt. The type of place you can tell that the regulars smoke in when tourists aren't there. The type of service where the food is quick and very good. Would come again. Fun times. read more

It's really small but has fun sidewalk of celebrity names! Mini Hollywood feeling! Watch your steps everywhere :) It's a cute place, very small, could be up to 20 customers that's all. We ordered water and came with fun cups and ordered brown sugar maple French toast and eggs. It was a perfect portion. Not too small not too large! The syrup already came with and it's already warm. Came with fruits. Yum! The only thing that was eye sore was the lettuce garnish. I felt it wasn't necessary. It could come with mini bowl with fruits instead. Overall the food was amazingly delicious. My stomach was happy. The owner checked in with us with their gentle energy makes us feel we were their guests and home. Too bad we r not from here but another visit is a must My partner wanted to order cinnamon roll but it was already out so if you wanted to get theirs. Come really early! read more
