Saturday morning 6:30 AM, we have to be at White Water Rafting check in at 8, and decided to try this place for breakfast. It was very obvious this was a local hangout for breakfast after a short time there. It was as a vet quaint setting from the decorations to the very friendly server. We both had the early bird special, 2eggs, choice of bread and protein and your drink. The food was great, just the perfect amount of food to hold one over for a morning of paddling. Really a great place. read more

Went for breakfast. If you order something simple like eggs and bacon, you are safe. Don't go near anything Mexican food inspired. The Chile rellenos were like some terrible version you find in terrible food places like eastern Oklahoma. The star of the relleno should be the chile, not the breading. It was almost all this way overdone breading. Not good at all. The "green chili" was as spicy as milk and equally as flavorful. My brother said the breakfast burrito was terrible. I saw it, and it did not look appetizing. Some of the "green chili" drizzled on top like an afterthought. Dry and uninspired. My son enjoyed his simple plate of bacon, eggs, hash browns, and toast, but those who ordered the Mexican food inspired dishes were majorly disappointed. As far as service, we waited forever to order. Our drinks were constantly empty. The server was very polite but things like missing items, missing silverware, empty coffees and waters starts to add up to a negative experience. Nice views outside and the place is clean so atmosphere is fine, but the rest was severely lacking. read more

Breakfast was great, especially the biscuits. Warm friendly service. We'd totally go back!

Second time five years apart .. the hot coco is still the best. The pancakes are still huge. Everything seemed good. But the place felt tired. So just know it's a small business cafe that is doing their best to stay open - be kind. read more

Roosters Crow Cafe - Three cheers for great hot coco - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Buena Vista, Colorado

Came on a bad day. Waited to be seated (normal). Our drinks were ordered and delivered. Then we waited - and waited - and waited. No food - no communication about there being a delay. After 40 minutes we gave up and we asked to get our check to have them say the food is finally ready. It seems that a cook walked out mid shift. Unfortunate but it happens. Would have love to hear that before we waited 45 minutes. Food was ok. read more

The food is less than impressive to the other breakfast spots in town. HOWEVER this is one of the only breakfast spots in town where you will actually sit down and have a server and these people bused their A**!!!! Turkey bacon avocado - the turkey looked like it was pulled out of a grocery store pack. Donut was OLD and tasted as such. Hamburger was good but nothing to write home about. French fries is what we came for and they were delicious!! The cafe is cute and small. Roosters everywhere representing their name. The front door doesn't close on its own so a customer had to keep getting up to close it when exiting customers didn't do it. read more

Took a long time to get food and to get coffee refilled. Some peoples meals were good, some were bad. Would not recommend the Alaskan Benedict, but biscuits and gravy were good. Overall wouldn't go back to be honest. read more

The vibes are casual and welcoming, with friendly and efficient service that makes you feel right at home. The food? Absolutely delicious. Everything was cooked to perfection, from the crispy bacon to the fluffy eggs. Warning: the pancakes are HUGE! If you're a pancake lover, you're in for a treat or maybe a challenge. read more

Food is yummy and the service is fantastic. I try to visit at least once when we are visiting BV.

The staff are friendly and efficient. Rooster's is my go to local cafe. Best breakfast spot in town.

This is a shout out for Zel. Busy early Sat am packed and she waited tables, poured coffee, sat people. Working the room all over the place. Food is great large portions too. read more

I have been to many diners. This place was not the best. Food was not good. Potatoes tasted like the onion rings they cooked in the grease. I ordered an omelette. Came like scrambled eggs with some cold, what used to be melted cheese. My friend had a skillet, said it was not good. Coffee cups were chipped in the rim of the cup where you drink. I have chips on a few of my mugs. But they are not where I put my mouth. I'll not be going back. Go to Jan's they are amazing. We even got a free waffle for waiting for our food. read more

food is so amazing! i did order something that didn't have meat and bacon somehow got slipped in but amazing service and amazing food, would 100% come backk!!!! read more

Roosters Crow Cafe - garden omelet - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Buena Vista, Colorado

Good breakfast spot. Loved the scrambled eggs, biscuits and gravy and fried potatoes!

This place is great!! Visiting from Denver, heading back home we stopped in. We love good food and a cozy spot. This place had it! Amazing breakfast, simple and flavorful. Great service from a sweetie pie of a server. A cozy and clean spot with good prices to boot. We will be back! read more

Great place for some grub! I often chase green chili for breakfast and Roosters Crow didn't disappoint. My breakfast burrito portion was large, service was acceptable and kind, prices reasonable, and we were able to sit outside to stare at the wonderful mountains. (Winter you won't be sitting outside of course.) Ample parking when we arrived and we only had to wait for a little bit. I would always expect to wait a bit, breakfast time on the weekend picks up fast. Worth a stop if you are looking for some food and you are on the main drag. Convenient location as you drive through town. read more

Roosters Crow Cafe - Breakfast Burrito - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Buena Vista, Colorado

We loved this place. Kids loved the pancakes and French toast. The skillets were great, and loved the green chili! Not too spicy but good flavor. Service was great. It's small and I recommend going early! We will definitely come back! read more

You should definitely go here. Great early bird breakfast special selection. Home town vibes. Locals meeting place.

Was famished and got a breakfast order to go due to the COVID. Coffee was good and hot. Rye toast was good even without jams or jellies provided. As a biscuits and gravy connisour, it was naturally an opportunity to partake. It was a mistake. While the biscuits were goodly, the gravy lacked everything that makes a white country sausage gravy palatable. Honestly, it tasted like cream of mushroom soup sparsely laced with canned sausage bits. Perhaps the gravy was from a can. It was not good. I couldn't finish it. Each bite made me cringe a little bit more. Each bite made my pallet awash with thick lukewarm condensed soup-esque mush with porkish flavor. Companion got a vegetarian omelet and enjoyed it. Support local businesses and give it a try. I am sure other things on the menu are good. You'll be glad you did. read more

Roosters Crow Cafe - Biscuits and gravy to go. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Buena Vista, Colorado

This place was as sweet as the pie. An excellent example of what America is--we sat outside and enjoyed a beautiful morning brunch with service that went above and beyond. Our food was out quickly but still was fresh, flavorful, and you can tell, though it was served quickly, it was made with time. I love hollandaise (bit of a snob) and even though the pic makes it look a bit broken, it was so good and had its own spin of flavors. Hard to explain how it was both savory and sweet, but I loved it and soaked up every bit with my fluffy biscuit! My wife loved her dish as well--spciy green sauce and simple over easy eggs and bacon. Stop in for a little slice of cinematic diner greatness. read more

Roosters Crow Cafe - Sorry, was hungry. Yummy breakfast of fluffy biscuit, crispy hash browns with a 2 egg omelet topped by unique hollandaise--loved it all! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Buena Vista, Colorado

Excellent breakfast burritos and HOT, delicious coffee for our trip home to Denver. I called ahead of time to order food and they were bustling busy with other dine-in customers socially distanced big time. Parking lot was roped off to allow outdoor tables to be set up. Masks and gloves on the servers. There is no reception desk, so upon arrival with our obligatory masks on, we walked in the front door and were told we had to wait outside. For a To-Go order. Huh. Okay. We wanted our travel mugs filled but they wouldn't touch them. They brought out a coffee pot and filled them while we stood outside. Very awkward but it worked. Nowhere to set things down. Nowhere to sit while waiting. Had to sign our credit card receipt on the vertical glass windows. This was not thought out very well by the owner. Other than the logistics not being very smooth, the food and coffee were great. read more

Roosters Crow Cafe - Sausage, egg and potatoes wrapped in tasty tortilla. Yum! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Buena Vista, Colorado

Sunday morning crush was worth it. They were lined up so we got excited. Good breakfast menu. Clean and comfortable. Busy. They could hire a host/hostess for the rush. We were pretty feral just to get in. Nice portions and tasty. Has that nice local atmosphere. read more

From the rustic decor to the rustic clientele, this cafe is the real deal- and a great value! Three egg omelette with bacon, mushrooms, ham and cheese. More like a skillet it was so thick. Excellent home fries, delicious sausage gravy and wonderful endless coffee. Wife had two GIANT pancakes and fruit, said they were delicious. Staff was prompt, attentive, and extremely friendly. Clientele? A large table of local gents looked up at us, welcomed us by turning back to their food, and then started side conversations with us that let us know we were welcome. Great place for a stuffed to the gills mountain breakfast. Highly recommended!! read more

Excellent food and service. French toast and Scramble were both very good. Wait staff was very attentive. Ambiance was nice and quiet so it was easy to have a conversation. read more

Look it's not a Michelin star restaurant, it's a cafe in a little mountain town. For what it is, it deserves 5 stars. The omelette we had were perfectly cooked and loaded with meats/veggies. They definitely don't skimp on the fillings. Our coffee never went out before it was refilled, service was super response. After a long drive and a night in a cold tent, it really hit the spot. read more

Worst ever We would give it a negative star if we could Not particularly busy (Thursday morning). Not all tables were full-no wait to be seated so we thought 'yay' We waited an hour after ordering for food--apologies or explanation Yikes! And then....big 'old hair in my eggs (so I ate only the first bite-yuk) And then...waitress expected us to pay for it This was terrible, awful, like some kind of bad movie My husband said his skillet was OK--the chili relleno on top was good read more

Really tasty food with large portions and low prices. Nice chill, family style vibe. would visit again!

Ate there on Sunday morning and had the worst experience. Waited for more than 30 min to order then waited about an hour for food. Split the bill three ways, but they couldn't even get that correct as they double charged me. Food was mediocre at best. Wouldn't recommend at all. read more

Early bird special between 6am to 8am however my husband and I missed it by like an hour. The food was amazing!! AND affordable prices. We drove from Leadville to BUENA VISTA to try this place and it was worth it!! Definitely give it a shot ! You won't regret it ! read more

Excellent !!! Very relaxed environment. What a wonderful breakfast. Love this place. My husband enjoyed a massive pancake which was excellent, hash browns and bacon. I enjoyed the veggie three egg omelette which was the size of my plate, delicious biscuit and hash browns with caramelized onions. Their menu has many choices. Also the prices were great! They even have an early bird breakfast between 6-8am for $6.50. Also, The service was great. Definitely will be back for sure! read more

The waitress and staff was overall very rude and there is no hostess, multiple staff members looked at us and didn't greet us and lacked overall customer service. There is no waiting area and if you are waiting you're just going to be standing there awkwardly and the staff members do not acknowledge that you're there. read more

Stopped in on a Saturday morning...10:00 ish...The place was Hopping!!! ....Editors note- Get here earlier!!...After a 15 minute wait were seated.... Coffee was solid..Chile Rellanos= excellent. Will Gladly return! read more

Had to wait for a table because Covid limits number of tables. Service was pretty good biscuits and gravy with eggs was good. Home fries were deep fried. The hash browns were better. Coffee was marginal read more

We were looking for a solid, non-pretentious breakfast prior to our whitewater rafting trip, and Roosters Crow did the job well. Had the good local diner feel. Most of our group opted for skillet breakfasts, and all were well received. I'll give particular props to the hash browns -- those are so often disappointing, and these were crispy on the outside, not mushy. Reasonable prices, great service. We'd definitely go again when looking for breakfast in the area. read more

This is a great restaurant for breakfast. It's clean and really cute, but it's not very big so we had to wait about 10 minutes. I ordered the Alaskan Benedict (salmon) which was excellent, including the hollandaise. Choices of a side are fried potatoes or (shredded) hash browns - go with the former because they're extra crispy, really yummy! Wonderful servers and we will definitely return! read more

We had a delicious breakfast while passing through Colorado. The service was friendly and attentive. We were surprised that it was busy at mid morning, but it didn't take too long to I've served. read more

Friendly staff and delicious food. Perfect stop for a diner breakfast while visiting. Would come again for sure!
