Sunday in October, 11am-ish. Let's start with the food - it was mediocre and disappointing given the cafe's reputation. Typical breakfast fare: eggs over medium (too jiggly and undercooked); hash browns, crispy throughout - what happens when you fry them more than once; link sausage, same problem - over heated or kept in a warming tray; toast, warm and crispy-dry but not toasted. I'm thinking that the cook was either in over his/her head or just not watching the ingredients. Prompt and attentive service, decent coffee, and cute little interior with good photo artwork. Worth $15? Nope. Go to Ouray or the other cafe down the street. read more

Friendly service, yummy food, small town feel, really all you could ask for in a local, mountain town spot. read more

The server with the facial piercings not only swore at me but also thought she had the right to tell me what do with my dog. I will not go to that restaurant anymore as long as she works there, extremely rude and unprofessional. read more

A must-have when traveling through or staying in Ridgway! Incredibly kind, prompt, and thoughtful service & delicious food! Their lemon ricotta blueberry "special" pancakes are to-die-for! read more

Lunch at Kate's Place was a great way to celebrate finishing the Blue Lakes Trail! We were able to get a table on the patio that was wonderfully shaded by a big tree. They also allow dogs on the patio! I had the tuna sandwich with home fries and my friend the Cuban sandwich. The tuna was good, classic recipe with no strange ingredients added! So happy they don't have raisins or grapes in their tuna! The bread was a thick wheat, you get a choice of bread and it is slightly toasted. The home fries are really where it's at. They were awesome, cooked in butter and crispy. So good. The Cuban sandwich was also good, maybe not as great as Little Havana in Miami but what are you expecting in the middle of more here?!? The sandwich was great if you're in the mood for a pickle. I highly recommend Kate's Place if you are in ridgeway! read more

Kate's Place - Lemon Ricotta Pancakes - American Near Me - Ridgway, Colorado

It's been a while since I've been in the greater-Ouray-area. I have since moved to Alaska, and do most of my ice climbing up here these days. However, I recently converted a work trip into a climbing trip and, true-to-form, I had to make this place our last stop. Everything I said before still stands. Kate's is simply the best: - everything is homemade (even the freaking sour cream?!) - great SW-style flourishes, something not very common where I come from - incredible service, the server felt like our mom (in a good way), and our coffee was NEVER dry read more

Had the fried potato, veggie and 2 egg combo. Came with only 1 piece of small, but good toast. I needed another piece of the good small toast. Otherwise, very good food combo. read more

One of my favorite places for food in Ridgway. I hate being negative when the food is so good but there has got to be a better way to serve customers. Waited for menus, drinks, refillls etc. the place has amazing food but this is not the first time I have watched multiple customers either complain for refills, to order or just plan basic check in/service or closing tabs. I will continue to go back out of love for the area and hard working staff but some of the staff need to be replaced. Alternatively have an additional staff member serve customers to see about basic things and it would be better. Keep this place desirable to go to as it has a great experience overall but come on owners make the changes to keep customers happy. It doesn't take much. read more

They have excellent food and service, we would definitely recommend eating breakfast here.

gave us a thirty minute wait even though there were lots of tables open they were not kind to us

Great food and really good service despite being super busy. I love the breakfast menu.

They were short-staffed and still found a seat for us and we were served pretty quickly. We split the rib-eye sandwich and it was superb! We definitely will be back for breakfast sometime soon. read more

This was a live & learn breakfast. Food was ok - when we finally got it... We waited 30+ minutes for eggs, potatoes and toast while others around us came in, ordered and got their food and left. Maybe she forgot to put our order in? Would have been good to check in and let us know! This place was a recommended by a friend as a back up choice. Their first recommendation was for Provisions across the street - we were too early for them so we picked this place. Lesson learned. read more

People were very nice. They were supposed to open at 7:00am did not open till 7:15. We had high expectations of the food with all the good yelp reviews. Unfortunately the food was very disappointing . Our biscuits and gravy was cold, our eggs were cooked wrong, the grits were cold on top and warm on the bottom. We said something to the waitress and she did nothing to correct the issue except say "Sorry". The food that was good was just OK. I think we probably won't be back anytime soon. read more

LOVE THIS SPOT: I stayed in Ridgway for 2 months and was recommended to this spot. I want to start by saying the food is AMAZING (especially the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes and Breakfast Sandwich); I pretty much ate here every morning. I'd also like to add that the waitresses and staff were great. There were many days I went in when it was super busy but Kendra always took care of me; even after dealing with some rude af customers (as a pregnant woman working there, I have no idea how she keeps calm). I noticed it getting busier towards the end of my stay. It's a small business and now a hot spot for foodies so be sure to tip well and be kind to all the staff (especially on the busy days). Can't wait to eat here again when I come back for another 2 month stay read more

The hype is not as great as the food. The breakfast wasn't bad, it just wasn't great. We had to move from one corner to another because there was a swarm of flies, that's not a good sign for me. The waitress was great, nice and friendly, but like I said, it's mostly hyped. All that said, there aren't many places to have breakfast there, the best dinner place was closed on that day, and closes early, Provisions ..., and they have a great little coffee house in that town. read more

I love this place! Always good food and the service is excellent. A must stop if in the Ridgeway/Ouray area. read more

Best breakfast in town!!! Feels like home! Try the special omelet of the day!!!!!!!!!!!!

My husband and I had a diarrhea after eating breakfast at this restaurant. And both of us were looking for toilet for whole day!!

We were struggling because most places were closed on Wednesday morning and we were hungry. We ended up here. I had the lunch special they let me get it for breakfast it was delicious! My sister's sandwich initially came wrong with ham and without avocado. We felt bad to bother them because they're super busy and one waitress was handling everything (really well). She made it super chill and got my sister the right sandwich quickly! She says it's delicious and we both appreciate the gluten free option! read more

used to be 5 star, but the current help is not to friendly or welcoming maybe they need more time in america to learn the flow... they have great food & atmosphere but DESPERATELY need some vibrant or wholesome people to represent this place once again & bring it back to the 5 star rating it should be~ read more

Food great! Service great! Husband and I stopped in before going to Telluride! Totally recommend Kate's place!

Best breakfast in the area! I was in Montrose on business last week, and I made a trip to Ridgeway just to have breakfast at Kate's Place. The food is awesome. The Lemon Ricotta Pancakes and bacon were fantastic! The corned beef hash, cheese grits, and huevos rancheros are also really my favorite meals to order. Anytime I am staying in the area, I always come here. read more

2nd time here .. 1st time sitting outside , no dogs , told me to leave 2nd time , lady taking my order was nice but another lady said go outside.. she said .. placed your order , then go outside. It's hot and hard no one in there !! Not going back !! read more

Lemon blueberry Ricotta pancakes! Three good size pancakes, I almost finished them because they were so light and fluffy! Went to this place again and was pleasantly surprised with 2nd choice of Steffels skillet, probably the best breakfast ever! Husband had the burrito, which he said was pretty good, then had huevos rancheros which he said was very good. Best of all, pet friendly, so sat outside with our pup! read more

Lots of options. Breakfast until close. Fast service. Short wait. Best breakfast in ridgeway.

What else is there to say it is Kate's place. I love everything about the place. The food is home made the gravy is real gravy. It really is a place that is embedded in the town of ridgway and is apart of the community. read more

So have been 2 x in the last month I think they must have lost their cook We ordered lemon ricotta pancakes They were hard and thin , no ricotta as I could see I orders spring salad with salmon So salad out of a package Skimmed on the pecans and feta Salmon is now 4 oz not 6 Drenched in dressing and 30 minutes to wait Husband got the omelette which was fine but no taste So post Covid Long waits Mediocre food and less And 45.00 So sad cuz it use to be good read more

Great food and service! Wonderful outside venue and ambiance. We will definitely be back the next time we are in the area.

My husband and I came to Kate's Place for breakfast. My husband had a cheese omelette and since I was somewhat ill I ordered toast and iced tea. I received one piece of slightly warm bread as toast. Our waitress didn't even offer butter so we had to ask her. She was barely interested in our table. Didn't come back after plopping food down until it was time to leave the ticket. I give this place 3 stars only because my husband said his omelette was ok. read more

We stopped here because we were on our way to Orvis, but it wasn't open yet so we thought we would stop for breakfast. It was a spur of the moment decision based on good reviews and good looking photos of food, and man were we impressed! This place is so cute and the food is incredible! Plus, the wait staff were some of the sweetest people I think I've ever met! I think we will be regulars from here on out! I can't say enough good about this absolute gem of a restaurant! read more

Must try if you are any where near Ridgway/Ouray/Telluride Colorado! The Ricotta Lemon Pancakes with Blueberries are perfect! Little to no syrup required. The ingredients are balanced perfectly as is the preparation. The slight crispness on the outside ant the slightly moist inside with the sweetness of the blueberries and the hint of lemon. Heavenly!!!! We also tried the corn chowder and tuna fish sandwich. The corn chowder had a light clear broth that allowed the corn and potato tastes to come through nicely. The Tina fish sandwich was fresh and flavorful. I loved this place. Slightly off the beaten path it is well worth it. The place is clean and fresh with an outdoor seating area as well. Service is efficient and friendly. read more

The 3 stars is not because of the food or it's quality, I want to start off with that. As a matter of fact the food here is really quite good... very good as a matter of fact. My gripe is the fact that I have to drive 40 minutes to get here and they only serve eggs benedict on the weekends. So Sunday morning, 9:30am. My mouth is watering because I am gonna get my benedict eat on. To my amazement... I get " I am sorry but we ran out". WTF... how does a breakfast place run out of something that they only make on the weekend? That is like a steak place apologizing because the have no rib eyes!! Come on... y'all are way better than that. read more

Great please for breakfast! Farm fresh food, light comfortable indoor and out door dining areas. A block off the main drag so a bit quieter for enjoying your meal. Shout out to Yerda (sp?). She was super friendly and hard working to keep all her tables happy read more
