    Breakfast Burrito
    Amber D.

    What a hidden gem!! I honestly can not say enough positive things about Joy's kitchen. The food was absolutely delicious and the beef was so flavorful and tender. Everything here is made from scratch including the bread (highly recommend the sourdough). [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is plenty of seating indoor and outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The patio is dog friendly too![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe is nice is nice and relaxed with a foosball table.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our server was so sweet and you can tell she's been there for a while. We will definitely be back.

    Clean and warm wood panel interior.

    We stopped for lunch on the way back to Denver and loved this place. Both our meals were excellent and made from scratch. Service was great and welcoming. We will stop here again!

    Omelet, eggs and home made sour dough!

    Food is anything but good, and service is spotty at best. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The only good thing is the ambiance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    We came here for brunch before heading to the hot springs and it was a great stop…read more I got the Main Street Benedict, super yummy! The only thing I didn't like as much was the hashbrowns, they were just okay. I also ordered the jalapeño bread French toast (recommended by our server). I love jalapeño flavor, but I remember thinking it sounded kind of weird for French toast... but I'm glad I tried it because it was so good. They make their breads in-house and I would definitely get that again. I also tried some of my friend's banana bread and that was really delicious too. Didn't get a chance to try these since we had to get to the hot springs soon so thought it's too much food to finish in time, but they had a French toast flight and a Benedict flight, which I've never seen before. Pretty cool, I love anything where you can try multiple flavors. Overall, would reccomend this brunch spot in Idaho Springs. Would come back!

This place is supposed to open at 7:00 - at 10 after an angry hippie opened the door and begrudgingly seated us. We sat for about 5 minutes and observed the hippie chaos that ensued. Clearly it was going to be awhile. This place was a little too aligned with the slow life of mountain town life. Went to Macdonalds.

We weren't even that hungry, but I found this place on Yelp and thought we'd give it a try! The weather was perfect, so we sat outside, which was really nice. We got seated right away, ordered quickly, and our food came out fast. I got the California Benedict and my fiancé ordered the Mountain Breakfast. I order Benedicts ALL the time, and this one was seriously so good. The hollandaise sauce was absolutely delicious. One of those meals where you take a bite and immediately know you made the right choice. We ended up cleaning our plates way quicker than we expected. Definitely glad we stopped here. Good food, friendly service, and a great patio. We'd happily come back next time we're in the area.

They were a bit overwhelmed when we asked for a table and took down our number to let us know when one was ready but never got a call. We ended up just walking back to check in with them and they seated us right away so the seating process was a bit wonky. The food itself was pretty solid and the bloody mary I got was ok not great. But certainly a cute, warm, family friendly atmosphere for lunch! All in all I do recommend it - just didn't get the full five stars due to the seating situation but otherwise the place is worth checking out!

They weren't too familiar with the breakfast at the places we mentioned, but one person immediately said, "There's The Little Diner right down the street. It's very good and has even been featured on the Food Network." We decided to give it a try, and we are very glad we did. We arrived around 8:30 in the morning and sat at the counter. At the time we were the only customers there. A very nice lady brought us water and got me a coffee while we looked over the menu. It actually took us a while to decide because there were so many great sounding options. As we sat there deciding, more and more people started coming in. My wife ordered the sausage gravy over a biscuit with eggs and cheese grits, and I ordered the Eggs Benedict with potatoes. When the food arrived, everything looked excellent. The flavors matched the presentation too. My wife said the sausage gravy was outstanding, and my Eggs Benedict was excellent as well. The eggs were cooked perfectly, the potatoes were very good, and the hollandaise sauce had great flavor. While sitting at the counter, we spent some time talking with our server. She told us she had been there since shortly after the diner first opened. Unfortunately, she also explained that the building is scheduled to be demolished so condos can be built above the property, and they are unsure whether the diner will be able to return afterward. It's honestly sad to hear about a place this good possibly being pushed out because of rising development and rental costs. I understand building owners want to maximize profits, but it's disappointing when small local businesses that people truly enjoy are forced out by higher rents and redevelopment. Places like this are what give towns character. Overall, this place was excellent. Great food, friendly people, and exactly the kind of local spot you hope to find while traveling.

We will be notified with a text when our table is ready. We were told 20 minutes. Tell me why it was an hour...still waiting, other groups with the same number of people as our group were seated before us and arrived after us. I went to the host stand to ask if we were up soon? Magically we're next and they pointed to a table that wasn't even clean that was ours. Waited a bit more. Table is clean but no one sat us? Waited about 10 more minutes waiting to be seated and finally we just sat down ourselves. A gentleman did come and apologize for the wait and brought a dessert for us to share. Thank you for the kindness and apology. Thinking this was the only hiccup. Nope. The family orders drinks and food at the same time. We're hungry and ready to go! Our group didn't get one drink until our food came 30 minutes later? Would have been nice to sip on our coffees and beverages while we waited for our food. Then the food came...what a disappointment. It may look lovely to the eyes but nothing was seasoned. It was sub par at best. We had planned to come the next morning while we waited the hour with all the selections we wanted to try. Not happening. I wished so much that the food and drinks were delish. Feels like if you're there since 1977 you can serve bland food and not care because you have legacy.
