We didn't actually eat indoors but we ordered take out here and it was so good! We ordered not too long before they were set to close for the night so we grabbed it for take out instead and were not disappointed. The steak was perfectly cooked and the roasted veggies were SO good! I was a huge fan of the salads here and the grilled shrimp on the side was perfectly seasoned as well. This was definitely one of the better meals we had in Ouray and we can't wait to come back and maybe dine indoors next time. read more

Great food and service. Brisket was delicious, ribs were great. Get there early if you want ribs or chicken

My husband and I dined here for dinner while RV camping at Ouray Riverside Resort. Based on the reviews here, I was careful to not set my expectations too high. The restaurant was rustic and cozy, which was what I expected. The service was prompt and courteous. I told our server that I wanted med rare and definitely not the end cap. I've actually had that happen before. My husband ordered his rare. So, I've had lots of prime rib before and it's one of my favorite cuts of meat. This was PERFECTLY cooked and exactly what I was expecting! It had an herb crust and the cooking process made the rosemary crispy and flavorful. Perfect with the richness of the meat. It was juicy, very tender and not too salty. I had it with the horseradish and jus and I was in heaven! Not to be outdone by the prime rib are the sides. I got the garlic mashed potato and side of green beans and they were both excellent! Mashed potato was creamy and smooth with just the right amount of salt, garlic and butter. The green beans looked like they were air fried. They were tender on the inside and slightly crispy on the outside and also perfectly seasoned. Even the slice of orange was sweet and ripe. Every single item on my plate was excellent! My husband and I are into fine dining and this dish was better than or equal to many other, much more expensive restaurants, without the fancy interior. It really was the best prime rib we've ever had. There is nothing we would have changed about our meal. It was THAT good! Another bonus was that the chef came out and asked each table how their meal was. Whenever a restaurant does this, it really shows they care about the diners and it's the perfect opportunity to tell them how your meal was, good or bad, and giving them a chance to make it right, instead of leaving a negative review. I know we will return on one of our RV trips, as this restaurant is about 6 hours away from our home. In the meantime, I'll be dreaming about my perfect prime rib meal from here. read more

Ouray Cafe & Steakhouse - 12 oz Ribeye - Cafes Near Me - Ouray, Colorado

It's a tiny little place in an RV park. But stick with me...it was beyond fantastic food! My wife had the ribeye perfectly cooked (you won't need steak sauce) and I had a pork chop that was the size of a small car. With mashed potatoes and vegetables that were terrific. They have a nice selection of beer, wine, and drinks. It's cozy, homey, and a can't miss place for a fantastic meal! read more

MUST!!!!!! If I could I would give this place 7 stars. This was THE BEST dinner in my life. I had seasonal pasta with wild mushrooms and vegetables. My husband had ribeye steak. Everything was perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. Customer service, music and atmosphere were exquisite. I would easily drive here again from Denver just to have dinner here again! Oh and... we got a complimentary dessert at the end! read more

This very small Cafe is located within the RV resort that we visited for three days with our travel trailer. It was fun to get the prime rib dinner as "take-out" to enjoy in our rv. The prime rib was cooked very nicely and served with a baked potato and fresh green beans. Unfortunately, the green beans were not only un-cooked, they were not trimmed and even still had stems attached. Regardless of that, the meal was good and the staff was very pleasant and hospitable. There's no reason we wouldn't go again. read more

Surprising for an RV camp restaurant! Our chef and waiter for dinner, Nathan, was delightful and brilliant. The smoked brisket he made was juicy and flavorful. The chicken tortilla soup was quite possibly the best I've had, my foodie Mexican partner exclaimed. The seating area is small yet cozy with a cabin/diner feel. And right on the river incase there's a wait or you get there early and feel like taking a stroll. The food however is way way better than diner quality. Easy delicious dinner pick read more

I was there on vacation with the husband. We ordered the steak and it was amazing!! I hate to say this but I'm from Texas and this was the best steak I've ever eaten. Definitely recommend this place. read more

We stayed at the hotel here so breakfast was included. We were pleasantly surprised by the buffet for breakfast. Bacon, sausage and a variety of other things. The fresh waffle was great! The guys who are running breakfast from the kitchen are friendly and keeping it clean and tasty. It was really refreshing to see two people who seem to enjoy their jobs. We would go back for sure. read more

All I can say is WOW!!! We rode our motorcycle from Flagstaff to Ouray and because we hadn't eaten in 9 hours, all we cared about is eating at the closest plast possible, and Ouray Cafe was only 600 feet away, so away we went...we were surprised that it was located in an RV park, but the service, food and atmosphere were 5 star!! My husband had the pork chop, and we both agreed, it was the best we have ever had! I had the wild mushroom ravioli and it was so rich and luxurious, exactly what I needed after a long day of riding. The triple chocolate brownie for dessert was so decadent and delicious, the perfect end to a perfect meal! Oh and the cherry on top..1/2 of drinks until 6:00 for Happy Hour..on a SATURDAY! We ate this incredible dinner and had dessert and two IPA's each and our bill was under $100, I still can't believe it!! This is a hidden gem and a must try for anyone visiting Ouray, don't let the location fool you, this is fine dining!! read more

Awesome! Great food, amazing service! Highly recommend if y'all are in the area! The steak is amazing!

The steaks were good, cooked a little bit over and a bit pricey, but tastes good with a generous side of mashed potato and veggies. The shrimp scampi was delicious, and it went well with a side of butter noodles. There were only two waitstaff for a room full of diners, so we didn't hang around to taste the dessert. read more

We had breakfast, eggs and CFS, pancakes with sausage- staff was great and food was better. read more

What a wonderful restaurant behind the Timber Ridge lodge. We were recommended by the lodge and we had a 25% discount. We are so happy we used it. I had bacon and eggs and my husband had biscuits and gravy, we also shared one pancake. The food was delicious, it came out fast and the chef came out and asked us if all was okay. We thought this was very nice of him to do that. Nice friendly service if we come back to Ouray we will eat here. read more

Expensive for an outdoor order at the counter style restaurant. Food was ok will not be a repeat visit

Great Huevos Rancheros with a STORY! John Wayne had this exact recipe in the owner's family kitchen as a child. He's kept the recipe alive by ensuring it's authenticity and deliciousness! Thanks for the added touch! Great little stop. read more

Started with breakfast. Ordered biscuits and gravy at 10:30 AM. First no biscuits. Then no gravy. So much for breakfast. We left. Tried dinner tonight. We split a prime rib special. It was a lot of meat. Personally, I would have slow roasted under rock salt. It was a a large cut of roast beef. No seasoning except dipping sauce. Wanted medium rare, but got the first end cut which was well done and not far trimmed. Desert was good! Response back: The customer in a service industry does not need to be trained or instructed as to why their fare was substandard or items non existent. $32.94 per plate plus tax speak for itself. A customer who has to deal with it a second day is its own answer to you. read more

Loved the food and atmosphere and service. Also their breakfast is solid. Price point can't be beat!

The wild mushroom ravioli is a MUST. We ate at several places during our week long summer vacation to Colorado and this was by far my favorite meal. To think I was kind of apprehensive about coming here but we were wiped out from hiking all day in Telluride so figured eh why not try the cafe next to our hotel instead of heading into Ouray and having to wait somewhere to be seated like we did the night before. Service was excellent, very nice patio setup and inside was great. Menu doesn't have a ton of options but that's fine, just means what they have they are great at making in my opinion. My companion had the steak which he said was excellent and I had the ravioli which was awesome. We even returned for the breakfast buffet before leaving town. It was good, adequate, it's a buffet so can't really say much more but if you're staying at the resort, dinner here is a must and nice trail along the river to walk it off as well :) read more

Food good, warm and fresh, but very slow service. From being seated to food on the table 45 mins. Open breakfast and lunch, better prices than similar Quray eateries. read more

We had a group of 14 people. The service was Great! The staff was inviting and friendly. To top it off the food was delicious. I'm just sad we didn't try it till our last night in Ouray. read more

Great food and outstanding service. We stayed at the cabins there and had breakfast in the morning. I would recommend that you stay in the cabins, if you're able to. The food at the restaurant is delicious and the service is outstanding. read more

Food was delicious and service was great. We loved the huevos rancheros and the portion was very generous. It was quick and definitely worth the stop. read more

Pancakes were really good (wish butter was served already softened & that syrup was better quality). Service was friendly & efficient. But the biscuits & gravy were the least appealing I've ever tried. Barely any sausage, & the gravy had an unappealing flavor (like onion soup mix minus the onions). read more

My family and I stayed here for a long weekend to enjoy Ouray and Telluride's fall colors. The campground was clean and quiet. We decided to stay and have dinner here as we wanted to have a good steak and it was Prime Rib night. We did hesitate because of how small it was and lack of reviews online, but we took a chance. Glad we did! It was delicious and owners and servers treated us like family! The prime rib, garlic mashed potatoes and carrots were exactly what we were looking for! read more

Fantastic home cooked breakfast + dinner at a great price! The setting is outstandingly beautiful too as the cafe sits alongside the Uncompahre River. We took a nice walk along the river walk trail after our meal. read more

Given that there aren't many breakfast joints in town I was excited to see this place open up. Sadly, it's really bad food and even worse service (but I am mainly basing the review on how bad the food and coffee was/is). The coffee was like what you'd find at a cheap motel, watery and just kind of gross. The food is priced cheap which is enticing in a mountain town, but alas it's still not worth the price. It's the kind do place that doesn't fully cook the hash browns and a sunny side up egg comes over easy. Everything felt a little sloppy and generally didn't have any flavor. Being that it's a bit off the main downtown area it certainly isn't worth the drive. read more

Great food and great conversation! I had the green chili breakfast burrito. It was very good. The owner said it is an old family recipe. His dad served this to John Wayne when he was in town for the courtroom scenes in True Grit. read more

This is a little campground restaurant. They have a small kitchen and a little dining area with seating on the patio. The staff is local and friendly. The service is equivalent to the town's personality - "slow your roll" kind of place for which you should be thankful. Give it a try. You might be pleased. read more

Cute little cottage cafe with big portions! Breakfast is the best, definitely get the pancakes with blueberries. Staff is super friendly as well! read more
