    Beautiful spot!
    Danielle K.

    There is no denying that this place is gorgeous, and the food is really great! But while these were on point, the service was quite surly. Maybe that's part of the ambiance? It didn't quite fit the vibe, in my opinion. If I lived locally, I would be back with groups of out of towners looking for an experience. But I wouldn't go out of my way to come visit on my own, solely on the feeling of the service not being very warm.

    This is a secret spot! Who would imagine that this restaurant has been around for over 70 years! The recipes and philosophy are the same too, feed good folks great food with a smile and they will return. Again and again! I have visited Colorado 4 times in less than two years and have enjoyed a family meal there every time. Expect a huge meal, dessert and a warm glow from both the servers as well as the beautiful adobe fireplace that sets the mood and amplifies the ambiance. Don't miss it, cuz if you blink you'll drive by this diamond in the rough.

    Such a great history! A little bit of a drive, but such a traditional home-cooked meal and atmosphere.

    Cowboy coffee, chilled bread pudding.

    This place was a terrific stop while in CO Springs. This is a quaint and homey restaurant with amazing ambiance and rich homage to their past. The food was over the top incredible and felt like a home cooked meal in the south. You pick an appetizer (tart cherry juice or curry consume) then an entree (Sunday nightly special: Nashville hot chicken, traditional fried chicken, baked ham). Then it came with an array of sides generously portioned for the number of people in your party. We especially enjoyed the apple butter and bought a jar of it in the gift shop. For dessert we had peach cobbler served with ice cream, bread pudding, and cowboy coffee. The bread pudding had great flavor however, it was served chilled which was unexpected. Our server was great and made very helpful suggestions. We can't wait to go back soon and cannot recommend this place enough!!

    Nashville fried chicken  Sides: mashed potatoes, okra casserole, homemade biscuits, coleslaw, & apple butter

    My second time here at Juniper Valley & I have never had a bad experience! I love the ambiance & it felt like we were back at home. Our server was amazing, friendly, & very attentive. Unlimited sides & chicken ! The Nashville chicken has the perfect amount of spice & crispiness. Everything felt so warm & hearty. I fell into a food coma & went right to take a nap after haha.

    Biscuits and apple butter are really good. Chicken and ham were acceptable. Sides were fine. Service was prompt. Server was polite to most of our party. Slightly curt and less acknowledgment of requests from anyone in our party who had more melanin.

    I happened to be in town for some errands, and this place came up for me when I was trying to find…read moresomething different in the area. The food looked great, reviews were positive, so I decided to give it a try. Wow, what a find! It's a nice, clean little place with plenty of parking this afternoon, and it appeared to be in the "old town" portion of Pueblo, which I hadn't been to, and was a nice change. I was greeted by Alicia, who had a great attitude, and gave us the breakdown on the different choices for our lunch/early dinner. We ordered the wings, jumbo shrimp (which really were jumbo), tater tots, and a two piece combo. Alicia went the extra mile to provide us with each sauce to sample, as she was excited for us to try them all. The chicken was juicy, cooked just right, and delicious! The shrimp were huge and tasty, and the tartar sauce and cocktail sauce that they came with were perfect. Our favorite sauces were the ranch, dill ranch, buffalo, hot honey, and the habanero. Great food, at a great price, and each serving was just right. One of the great places I hope to re-visit soon. Highly recommend!

    We came to this place on our way down to Trinidad and I'm so glad we did. The ambiance was great,…read morethe service was friendly. The chicken was on another level. We're from San Diego with many, many chicken spots and this place beats them all. The chicken is made to order and they even mixed my dry rub into the coating. Fantastic. My only regret is living so far away. I hope to be back.

The mac and cheese was fine, but the okra? Elite. If you're thinking about coming here, stop playing yourself and just go.

    I honestly wish I could give this place zero stars…read more The mac and cheese looked like someone boiled noodles and stirred them into a bowl of pale, flavorless glue. It was chalky white, bland, and tasted like absolutely nothing -- not cheese, not seasoning, just sadness in a bowl. I took a few bites hoping it would get better and ended up feeling so sick I actually had to run to the bathroom and throw it up. I have never had mac and cheese that bad in my life. Then there was the catfish. Catfish is supposed to be crispy, seasoned, and full of flavor. This tasted like it was dropped in the fryer with zero seasoning and zero care. The only way I could even get it down was by drowning it in hot sauce just to give it some kind of taste. At that point I might as well have just eaten the hot sauce by itself. The whole meal felt like it was cooked by someone who has never tasted food before. Bland, poorly prepared, and honestly kind of shocking that a restaurant would serve it. I left feeling nauseous and disappointed. Save your money and your stomach -- I would not recommend this place to anyone. not even my worst enemy Let me talk about the cornbread, because it might have been the most disappointing thing on the plate. First off, it was wrapped in foil like a leftover someone forgot about in the back of the fridge. When I opened it up, it looked rough -- dry, dark, and cracked like a scab sitting on a plate. Not golden, not soft, not fresh... just sad. Then I took a bite and somehow it got worse. The taste was like unseasoned water baked into a dry brick. No sweetness, no butter, no flavor at all. It was crumbly, dry, and tasted like it had been sitting around for days before they wrapped it up and served it. Cornbread is supposed to be warm, soft, and comforting. This was the complete opposite. Honestly, I've had gas station cornbread that tasted better than this.
