Enjoyed the brisket. French fries were fresh, they were out of coleslaw but substituted salad. Coldest bottled beer I've had in a long time. Coots light $4. Doesn't look like much on the outside very well decorated. Western themed inside. I'd go back! read more

A male food-prep worker with short, dark hair was preparing a salad in the restaurant kitchen. While making the salad, he deliberately SPIT into it, knowingly contaminating the food. Despite what he had done, he continued preparing the dish as though nothing had happened. After finishing the salad, the food-prep worker handed it to a waitress without telling her what he had done. The waitress, unaware that the food had been contaminated, proceeded to take the salad out to the dining area to be served to customers. This was an extremely serious violation of food-safety standards and could have put customers at risk of becoming ill. Food should always be prepared hygienically and handled responsibly, and intentionally contaminating food is unacceptable in a restaurant setting. read more

Stopped in on a visit for a basketball game and boy was that a mistake. Food was awful borderline not edible and service was ok but could use improvement. The whole basketball team was sick the next day. The people were pleasant but the food was horrible. Stay away! read more

The food has become terrible in taste and quality. We used to recommend Stockyards to everyone, but will no longer do so and will not return unless it changes. The food used to be amazing and the price was fair. Now, the food is awful and overpriced. Not sure when it changed, but it's disappointing. read more

We stopped here by chance and it was fantastic. Angela provided amazing service and the food was great. Steaks, burgers, and sandwiches hit the spot! read more

We went to The Stockyard in Delta last week for their yummy burgers and homemade fries. They had a drawing for a free pie that draws on Sunday. I got a call that I had won and what kind of pie could she make me. I told her banana cream or chocolate cream. I picked it up today. We got chocolate cream. Fresh from scratch, Graham cracker crust, large layer of dark chocolate, on top of that a fluffy milk chocolate layer and whipped cream on that. Not too rich, just perfect. Thank you The Stockyard! Can't wait for our next burger and fries. Everyone is so nice in there. It has become a weekly stop! We recently retired and relocated and are loving the area. read more

Stockyards Restaurant - Chocolate cream pie, perfection! - Cafes Near Me - Delta, Colorado

Best ribs we have had in a long time, fries are homemade and delicious. Service was good and the restaurant is very clean

Excellent food!!! Excellent Sevice!! The best in Delta.... By far! Home cooked meals at a reasonable price, served with a smile!! Save room for dessert read more

My wife and I went for her birthday, it was a Sunday and most restaurants around here are closed. It wasn't busy, the waitstaff were very friendly and helpful. It wasn't a great value nor a poor one, it seems like cost has become kind of a non-factor anymore since you can rarely eat out for less than $20/person, so I don't give cost a lot of weight in my opinions. The food was tasty, my wife really enjoyed her burger. The only criticism is that our fries were cooked in oil that was too hot at the time and they got a bit scorched. It happens, I wasn't upset or anything, they were quite nice about it. It was a decent meal, we would go again. read more

Informal, friendly, mom and pop atmosphere. The kind of place the waitress sits down in the booth with you and takes you're order. I like it! Lots of local charm. As with most places today, prices are inflated. Food is down home good with generous portions. Yeasty dinner roles could be a meal in themselves - yum. I had the shrimp dinner, not steak, but those looked really good going by. A Delta mainstay for many years with many loyal local customers, so you know it's good. read more

Went there for lunch yesterday and ordered the chicken fried steak ($18.95). The food was MEH and we were continuously swatting flies during lunch (inside). One landed on my plate and committed suicide in my mashed potatoes. Waitress witnessed it and did nothing. Needless to say after only eating 1/3 of my meal my lunch was over! read more

Great place for breakfast in Delta. I wasn't sure, based on some of the reviews - but you don't have a lot of choices in Delta on a Sunday! The menu isn't large, but my husband (a biscuits and gravy kinda guy) saw that the gravy was specifically "sausage gravy" - so biscuits and gravy it was. It didn't disappoint - the biscuits were clearly homemade. That is increasingly rare and very much appreciated. The gravy not only had sausage in it, it was loaded with chunks of sausage. He also got a side of sausage patties. They were good, but a little salty for us - but great when eaten with some of my pancakes. I did the cowboy breakfast - one pancake, one egg, one meat. I had pit ham (awesome big slice of tender, sweetly smoked ham) and an egg over medium. The egg tasted like a fresh egg to me and obviously, I love the ham. The one LARGE pancake was ethereal. It was light and almost fragile. Very tasty! The place is large. When you go in the main door, to the left are some booths and counter seating. In front of you is a refrigerated case full of homemade pies and cakes - so many different kinds and all made here (not just "baked here" as may place call it when the bake frozen big-box items - this stuff is MADE here). To the right, more booths and then an entryway to the lounge area. The lounge area does have a bar, but it also has tables that can seat large parties. When we were there - a table of about 14 or more family members were enjoying a group breakfast. Service was good - especially considering there were 2 servers and a counterman for all this space (and - it was mostly full!). Friendly diner-style service - I wasn't called "hon" but I kept expecting it! read more

What a terrific experience! After walking out of A&M Creations earlier in the evening due to a horribly rude server, we stopped in at the Stockyard. We are so glad we did! Everyone is friendly and welcoming. They make you feel at home. The food was great. The service was great. The atmosphere was great. Such a contrast to A&M Creations. A pleasant surprise! We will be back! read more

We hadn't been to The Stockyard in many years and remembered how good it was. So, after showing our guests from Florida the Grand Mesa, we were ready for some good food. So our choice was The Stockyard. "SIGH"!!! Our friends ordered the Ground Round Dinner and asked for it to be plain with BBQ in the side.When it arrived it was covered with onion gravy and not plain. The server did not ask how they wanted the steak cooked and it was beyond well done. The brisket soup had an overwhelming smokiness, making it inedible. My boyfriend's burger was rare. He wasn't asked how he wanted his burger cooked either. The server never bothered to check on us until we had stopped eating. I nicely expressed my extreme disappointment since they were here from Florida. She asked if we wanted desert and I told her that I was afraid to now! And the tea tasted like instant. For $66 and change for two meals that weren't fit to eat and a child's cheeseburger that was ok, we'll pass on The Stockyard next time. read more

Quick, fast, friendly! Burger was delish. I eat a lot of burgers. This one was hot, juicy, simply delectable. Onion strings are really thin onion rings. Batter was crisp and crunchy. Tortilla soup was demolished as soon as fast as that hot stuff could be demolished. Lemon meringue pie was stand out. Their server was friendly, helpful and full of sass. Just what we needed after a long day of driving. Stop here. Eat here. Yum Oh and the tea was hot. Piping hot. Not that warm water stuff that foams when you add a tea bag. Piping hot tea! read more

Mighty tasty food! I recently ordered the Western burger which came open faced smothered with green chili. So good. Their fries are fresh, hand cut. Just good food! read more

This place has some seriously awesome food!!! The atmosphere is lovely and the staff are all really friendly and professional. You simply cannot beat the quality all the way around here!!! Go, eat, enjoy, and remember to tip your servers well. Like me, you eat here once and you'll be back again and again! read more

This is an interesting place. The decor is nice, but in need of repair on a lot of the seating. Our waitress was a very pretty, dark-haired girl with tattoos. Unfortunately I didn't get her name. She was really great. Attentive, friendly, efficient and paid special attention to our 2 year old, even bringing him little plates of croutons and cucumbers. Prices were mainly pretty decent, more or less average, with the very notable exception of the dishes listed under "Dinners". These seem almost comically over-priced. I mean, double or more what I would expect. I think it might have to do with the steaks being sourced from some high-end ranch that they advertise on the menu. I'm not sure, but I do know I can get an exceptional 8oz sirloin at Texas Roadhouse for about 1/3 the price listed here. In any case, we obviously didn't order any of those dishes, instead getting the Smoked Polish Sausage, a Chicken and Swiss Sandwich and a Turkey Club meal. All these were really good. The sausage was possibly the best I've ever had. I struggle on this rating because I want to give them 5 stars but the oddly over-priced dinners and the lack of upkeep have to knock off a couple points. The excellent service gets them 4 instead of 3. read more

Been back since the Nov. review, and yes they are now back being a good place to eat. Breakfast is a plate full. I'm never disappointed. Sunday mornings you're apt to run into your neighbors, we're few and far between, but a friendly bunch nonetheless! You'll be treated right. read more

Stockyards Restaurant - the outside of the building - Cafes Near Me - Delta, Colorado

This is the best place in town for a chili burger. It's called the Wrangler and it is AMAZING! The decor is awesome as it displays the farming and ranching community this restaurant serves proudly! The owners are top notch and make your dining experience a great one. If you have room for dessert their pies are the BOMB!! read more

It is truly a restaurant from the outside you would not except the the food and service you receive. The Western burger was great the serving sizes are huge and the green chili was awesome. read more

I've eaten here 3 times since I've been here and planning to make it a 4th tomorrow. I love their daily soups. Did I mention that I've eaten here 3 times since I've been in Colorado? That would be 3 days in a row since I discovered this awesome local gem. Their soup has been different every day. I wanted to go every day for a single week to see if the soups would repeat, but alas, I had a full and promising meal schedule. I was also hoping to sit at every possible table but that was not meant to be. If you stop by, take a moment to appreciate the decor and the intricate leather work on the seats. You don't see that kind of stuff every day. They have a typical American lunch and dinner menu. Sandwiches and burgers for lunch, steaks and the like for dinner. I like their salad bar, and they have a spectacular selection of homemade desserts. They have a decent burger. My bf tried the ribeye sandwich and made a bunch of special requests to make it edible for him, but he said it was alright. I thought it was okay with the additions, but as it was, a grilled piece of steak between a dry roll, it seemed kind of uninspired to me. I was not impressed by their steak and I would not order it again for these reasons: 1. Pretty expensive for what you're getting. 2. They put on their menu that they serve a steak blue, 30 seconds on each side. 3. Their steak was too thin to cook rare to begin with, about a half inch thick. 4. Steak was definitely not blue. 5. Sides were frozen veggies, microwaved cornbread, and a scoop of mashed potatoes and gravy. 6. A weird gamey taste to my steak. Maybe it is the local flavor since the meat is supposedly a local brand, but I also ate elk meat that night and the elk was less gamey. Not sure what's going on there. 7. Did I mention that this was expensive for what you're getting? I know they serve local meat and it's a local restaurant, but I don't feel like it's a good bite for your buck. On the plus side, you get a cup of soup with your meal and the service here is real friendly. A friendly face and good service will definitely keep me coming back for more. Oh, and a slice of pie. Or maybe blueberry cheesecake. No, definitely pie. read more

This is an old-fashioned Western diner and family restaurant. It is a fun place, with friendly waitstaff, good menu and good food. I live on the East Coast, and since, when I am at home, I tend to eat largely organic foods and meats, dairy and eggs from drug-free and pasture-fed, cage-free livestock,.Now, let me make totally clear from the start that if this is the kind of food that you are looking for while you are in Delta, Colorado, then you will NOT find it at Stockyars, nor is it likely that you will find it at ANY restaurant in Delta or within 15 miles of Delta~ However, if you are a looking for a good old-fashioned traditional Western diner, one that is locally-owned and operated, and frequented by old-timer locals as well as by travelers from afar who were passing by on the highway, and if you want a place that is open long hours each day and has a wide range of diner-type menu offerings, and lots of old-fashioned traditional dessert dishes such as pies, cakes and ice cream, then this is the place for you! BTW, the pie display, and the pie selection, are each enormous! This place is genuine Americana! It is not fancy, not at all. But the menu selection is wide and great, and the food is good, and the serving portions are hearty. I ate here at least six times during a 4-day stay in the area with a friend while I was on a research field trip, and my meals included breakfasts, brunch and dinners, and all of the meals were very good, and very satisfactory. One thing that amazed me was that this place, which has three seating areas and a considerable number of tables, was always crowded, regardless of whether we showed up for a meal at 7 AM, 10 AM, 6 PM or 9 PM! They seem to have a faithful following, and it is my impression (and also that of my friend Greta who was traveling with me) that this place is a local legend! The service was quite good, albeit a bit slow and scattered at times (simply because the waitresses were so busy with the crowds) By the way, I really liked the waitresses we encountered during our numerous meals at this joint -- they reflected a wide range of Western women, including gritty and tough older women with gravelly voices from too many years of smoking too many cigeaettes and with hearts of gold, to young, saucy, sassy tattooed trendy punk waitresses with little bits of attitude! In fact, I remember that during our last two meals here during our stay, and much to the amusement of my friend Greta, who was traveling with me, I developed a crush on a tattooed punk-like and slightly-trendy waitress with soulful eyes who had just been hired and was still going through waitress training! ...sigh! Overall, great place. I would eat here again for most of my meals if I were staying in this area again for a period of time. read more

This was not a good place to eat. The service was very slow. I had the smoked pork loin and it came to me cold. Had to send it back and it was so dry and hard. She gave me BBQ sauce for it and that was worse then the meat. She did give me half off of my meal but that was it. We will not be going back. read more

Stockyards Restaurant - Smoked Brisket very dry - Cafes Near Me - Delta, Colorado

Considering this is Delta, it's not a horrible place, but by metropolitan standards it leaves somethings to be desired. The ultra casual nature of the waitstaff turned me off to it and made this steakhouse feel a bit more like a truck stop. On the other hand, its decor made it feel like a true-to-life old west joint to get your grub on. Once inside you will find a selection of home-baked pies on display, standard American menu items, and a laid-back atmosphere. As you dine, you will be surrounded by cowboys, ranchers, and miners. read more

It was ok overall. It looked cool in a rustic way. The food ranged from barely ok to very good. Starting with the best, the chicken fried steak sandwich was very good. The fried shrimp, fried chicken and italian soup were good. The mashed potatoes and the white gravy they were served with were on the bland side, but ok. The French fries looked good, but didn't taste fresh or hot. The strawberry rhubarb pie was the worst I've had. The waitress was barely ok, but maybe because she was the only one there. It did seem to be a clean restaurant including the bathrooms. read more

OMG is all I can say. Everything was great! The homemade pies are also amazing. The staff was friendly and quick to wait on our table. I will be back the next time I'm in town. read more

Love their breakfasts, coffee is really good but then their burgers are also incredible. Worth a visit and you'll keep returning!

The service is fantasic and the food is superb! You certainly don't walk away hungry.

Stopped by here for breakfast while traveling from Montrose to Cedaredge in Colorado. We were greeted the minute we walked into the cute rustic restaurant by 2 smiling faces and told to seat ourselves anywhere. The server immediately showed up and asked for our drink order as she handed us menus. We ordered our food a short time later and as we waited I had a chance to look around. It was clean and definitely an older establishment, but had charm. When the food came, it was hot and prepared perfectly to my liking, a ham, cheddar and jalapeño omelet. I do wish I had remembered to ask for extra crisp hash browns as there were pale, but I find that is the norm at most restaurants. The biscuit was delicious and obviously homemade. Would absolutely come back whenever in this area again. read more

Great food at a good price. Although my family and I came in close to closing time, the waitress was very friendly. I got the chicken fried steak sandwich, and though it was a little tough being so close to close, I ate every bite. It was wonderful. Then red chili had just the right amount of heat and spice. The turtle pie was Great to. I wanted the strawberry rhubarb, but wife wanted the turtle.... All in all Great Meal. Next time I PICK THE PIE. read more

Awesome food and staff!! The burgers and green chili was delicious! Prices were reasonable Ann's portion size was good.

I had breakfast there it was not to bad but had have better. The wait staff seems like they are unhappy. I asked for several tea bags and the waitress was slow of getting me tea bags. The hot water was not hot it was just warm. I would try butches cafe just up the road from there. read more

Been eating breakfast's here for a long time, but I wonder why they keep burning my omelette? Bacon, Ham, Sausage...it doesn't matter which one I order! I like the food and staff, but if you keep it up, I'll have to reconsider my rating. Please? read more

In town from Denver working at one of the nearby mines. Went to this place for dinner. Order the larger sirloin steak with vegetables, and the daily soup on the side. The soup was good, 3-stars. The rest of the meal was nearly unacceptable. The vegetables were cold. Not room temp, but cold. Maybe they put the plate outside (in Jan.) before bring it to my table. The steak was probably choice grade, very tough, but cooked to my order (rare). Definitely not worth the $21 price tag. Seasoning on the steak and vegetables was lacking. The vegetables were completely plain. No salt, no pepper. The steak was lightly seasoned using Montreal Steak Seasoning. I could have done better at home. My coworker ordered a mushroom and swiss burger that looked much more appetizing and was significantly cheaper. Overall this isn't a bad place for lunch or dinner, but stick to the sandwich side of the menu. You'll likely be disappointed with the dinner entrees. read more

Yes the decor is interesting but the food needs help. I would strongly recommend not ordering a hamburger. The hamburger had a funny taste to it and almost like it was half spoiled. I had the chicken curry soup and it was some of the best soup I've ever had anywhere. I also had a fish sandwich and it was a real fish not 1 of those squares frozen deals. That part was really good. Service was just okay. read more
