My friend and I came here Sunday of a long weekend (Labor Day), around 11:30. There were 2-3 groups in front of us in line, but the wait wasn't too bad, and we got seated after 15 minutes. We both had a phenomenal dining experience here. My friend got the veggie breakfast burrito ($14.25), which according to him was really good. I was starving and wanted something hearty, so I decided to go with the steak and eggs ($16.25). It's been a long time since I've had steak, but the one here was excellent especially for the price. I asked for it to be cooked medium rare and it was very tender. It also had enough salt and other spices for flavor. I don't know if it was because I was really enjoying the steak or not, but even the potatoes here tasted better than normal. The kitchen works quickly too; our food came out within 10 minutes of ordering. I also noticed the other tables were getting turned around quickly as well. We will be back next time we drive past Golden. read more

We adored the homey, warm atmosphere of this little place! We stopped in for a breakfast on our drive to Vancouver and were so pleased, from the pleasant, hardworking server to the excellent food. I adored the hot cereal, best ever! All the food that we ordered was great and we love the decor, perfect for the beautiful Rocky Mountain area. Exceptional! read more

We went to the one in Revelstoke earlier in the week and found the experience pretty decent with one issue. So we decided to try this one today. Total mistake. Food had no flavour. 4 entrees and the best thing was the toast. The bathroom was disgusting. No one has cleaned it in some time. Service was so so. Not very attentive but still ok. read more

This is your classic diner / greasy spoon café. We came for breakfast one morning before hitting the road to go out on some hiking and exploring adventures. This is a "nothing fancy" type of spot. I ordered a breakfast of corned beef hash with a side pancake. My husband ordered the Texas chorizo burrito. The food came out fast and the service was friendly. it was exactly what you would expect from a diner like this. Big portions, fair price, quick food. My husband loved that they gave him an entire pot of coffee to himself. A "No-frills" café; just food to fuel your day. read more

Typical breakfast fare. Some interesting takes. Did enjoy the chorizo breakfast burrito. Bland coffee but plentiful. Service was good with some quirky waitstaff fashion (a dress depicting mass murderers.) Yet, very friendly. Restaurant needs a good cleaning around window sills and bathrooms. Little tweaks would make this a funky fun cafe. Till then, probably will take a pass. read more

I can't get to 4 stars. Neat ambiance but the food experience was pretty mediocre. Beyond well done and dry burger.

On the way to Calgary from Vancouver and stopped here. It was delicious.. we had the frittata, hollandaise sauce, pancakes, delicious sausage and poached eggs. Great presentation. Pan fried potatoes were perfection. Coffee great too. Service and the Kitchen were on point. Great old rustic feel. Great place to eat and feel it was definitely worth it.. read more

What We Ordered -Open Face Homemade Meatloaf Sandwich with a side of Chicken Tortilla Soup - Side Order of French Toast - Corn Beef Hash with 2 Eggs and Toast Extremely surprised at how good, flavorful and moist the Homemade Meatloaf Sandwich was. I didn't have high expectations for a small restaurant in Golden. Don't judge a book by it's cover! However, I do not recommend the Chicken Tortilla Soup or French Toast. It is average at best. My sister enjoyed her Corn Beef Hash, but I felt that the ratio of potato and corn beef was super off. Although the chunks of corn beef were larger than usual, the amount they gave was less compared to potatoes. They have a self service water and coffee station (not free) and huge shelves full of hot sauces! read more

Visited this place on my passing through and needed some breakfast. This place was great, didn't get a huge look inside but seemed really cute, we sat outside in the sun. The food and drinks were awesome and priced great. The waitress was friendly. The only thing I saw was the place had lots of flies inside. Other than that I'd go back forsure. read more

The decor was decorated with quotes and funny signs along with old pictures of golden. The atmosphere has a hippie mountain feel to it. The waiter and waitress both were friendly and fast with greeting us. Once we decided on the food I had a Mexican burrito, though I asked for a veggie burrito! (thankfully I was paying attention to the menu and remember the few selections of burrito.) I was hungry and thought why not just eat it anyways without saying anything, it looked appealing on menu and now in front of me the cub potatoes were nicely seasoned with Cajun and seasoning salt. I wasn't disappointed with Mexican burrito it was stuffed with veggies and the chicken was seasoned. Fair portion of black beans and salsa sauce and sour cream on top My daughter order a California Benny ( avocado spinach and she got it on a bagel) she likes spinach but one of them had a fair bit. And the hollandaise sauce was grainy ( pre made powder.) Highly doubt it was from scratch if it was it wasn't cooked long enough. I will say A LOT of the sauce for the breakfast menu consisted of hollandaise sauce I am not a fan of the sauce. The food came fast and wasn't all that bad read more

Prices are pretty high for mediocre food. The French toast was good but served with table syrup. The chorizo bowl was a drab beige colour. The whole thing tasted the same and quite frankly was somewhat nauseating to look at. (Not sure if the eggs were fully cooked as there seemed to be a beige sauce as well. Couldn't really find the chorizo in it. There was no contrasting colours or flavours at all to break up the pallet. Bread was good though read more

Not accommodating, the older lady is snotty. Coffee is horrible, like water and just a dust of coffee. Pricey for a water like coffee.

I had one of their bowls. The poached eggs were a little over cooked, hollandaise sauce was tasty, potatoes were cooked adequately

Just had a quick coffee here. Coffee was ok, staff quite inattentive. Facilities did not have a lock at the door.

Cute little place in downtown Golden filled with antiques and hilarious signs everywhere that keep you entertained while dining. Food is made from scratch and delicious. Prices are reasonable. Service is friendly and very fast for dining in. I had a Breakfast Sandwich and my husband ordered a California Benny. Excellent. read more

Cute place with funny wall hangings and quotes. Great vibe and friendly folks.

This restaurant was a huge disappointment. The food was only so-so and wouldn't rate a review at all as I don't like to leave negative reviews but the service was horrible. The female waitress was unwelcoming, rude and reluctant to seat us. She placed several barriers in our path (wouldn't seat us together, required separate checks, no high chair for an hour) but finally seated us with a sour attitude. She didn't get any better as she was snappish and rude the entire meal. I can do so-so food but a wait staff with a bad attitude is really awful. There are several smart ass and misogynistic signs in their decor....perhaps this attitude is rubbing off on the staff. P.S. the cheese quesadilla we ordered for our 15 month old had onions and jalapeño peppers on it. Unbelievable. read more

It really is the best breakfast in town! Get something with sausage, they make their own and it's delicious. The French toast is thick slices of healthy grainy bread. So good. read more

AWESOME breakfast. This will be a regular stop for me every time I am in Golden. Staff is super friendly as well.

When you close at 2pm, you don't shoo customers out at 1:45. I couldn't tell you what the food tastes like, but the service on this day was less than desirable. read more

Excellent hearty breakfast place! Our group of 4 came in on a Saturday morning before a long hike and the Big Bend Cafe definitely fueled us up! The coffee and water here are self serve so you have to walk up to the drinks corner to get the drinks. This made the place feel very homey. We ordered avocado and Brie frittata, 3 sausage bowl, hobo breakfast platter and eggs Benedict. The frittata and the sausage bowl were definitely the best. We definitely wished that we knew the eggs in the hobo breakfast platter's are not cooked in a omelette style. If you are looking for toppings mixed in with the egg definitely try the frittata instead. Overall m, we had a positive experience here. Definitely will be back for future visits. read more

The Big Bend Cafe - Golden - Avocado and Brie frittata! Buttered toast on the side. Delicious with some sirracha!!!!! - Cafes Near Me - Golden, British Columbia

We never miss this on any trip through Golden. Breakfasts are delicious and filling and I always find the signage inside funny.

Big Bend is exactly what you would (or should) want out of a mountain-town breakfast joint. Mountain-man sized portions, hearty choices and a boatload of unnecessarily masochistic hot sauces to wake you up and get you going. Many of the dishes feature chorizo, including the chipotle and chorizo eggs benedict. Tastefully spicy (not over the top), served on a bagel instead of an english muffin, with poached eggs (cooked to your liking) from one of those poaching molds that your mom (or at least MY mom) used to make. Charming. Served with a good sized side of "pan fries." The bacon is fantastic (flavourful, thick, chewy), but the pancakes are to die for. Made with whole (or multi)-grain flour, they a deliciously wheaty, filling mouthful. My only regret is that they do not come with real maple syrup. Make that a part of a plate and you have created some of my favorite pancakes I can think of. Seriously, I could only think of wanting to eat more of these for the entire rest of the day. The thing that really make Big Bend unique is wall of hot sauce. From a few of their own homemade sauces, to tongue-scathing classics like Dave's Insanity, they have a large selection to please every tastebud and scoville tolerance. Any time I am passing through or stopping in Golden, I am sure I will make a stop at Big Bend. read more

Great breakfast! Was on the way through Golden (Sask to BC... stayed overnight in Golden), and the 'free breakfast' at the hotel just wasn't going to cut it. The wife and I enjoyed the meal, and the atmosphere... looking around at the memorabilia, and out the window towards the mountains. The scrambled egg chorizo special was good... really great flavour, the presentation was a little lacking, but flavour had it in spades. read more

Typical breakfast cafe. Food was hot and fresh. The service was outstanding, and the coffee was free flowing.

Nothing special. The food was too salty and greasy, and coffee sucks big time. Collection of hot sauces looks great on the picture but not so much when you see it right in front of you. Half of bottles are empty and dirty on outside from spilled sauce or who knows what. It also sucks that this place doesn't won't to share their wi-fi with customers. I asked for password but they refused to give me access. We needed Internet to check out whats around us and to plan our next trip for the day. I wouldn't come back here. read more

We stopped in there for a very late lunch but both ended up getting frittatas. I was skeptical as I added sausage to my "veggie" as usually adding extra is a reason to go skimpy on the serving and then add $$. This was not the case. Loaded frittatas!!! Served hot and tasty. Only criticism was we had to keep our puffies on - pretty freakin cold inside. If you're looking for some homemade local goodness in Golden, would definitely recommend. read more

This place was absolutely delicious! We went there and the man that was working was so polite and kind! They accidentally made the wrong dish for me but I ate what they made anyways and it was so yummy I believe it was a eggs Benedict breakfast bowl. Yumm yumm yumm the man was so apologetic and was going to make me the correct food I ordered but I said no because I had just ordered the eggs benedict so all the same but in a bowl ha ha We will definitely go back there is no doubt about that! read more
