The Shanty II is probably closer to 3 1/2 stars, but not 4. The service is friendly and efficient. We were greeted immediately, served right away and checked on frequently. The menu is pretty basic, burgers and sandwiches. The sign outside lays claim to shakes and malts, but when my husband ordered one to go, our server said they were all out of ice cream. Really? Every flavor? It seemed odd. We both had the green chili burger (mine without cheese - and I was delighted that it actually came to me without cheese). The burger was nicely cooked, the bun was fluffy and fresh, but the green chili lacked something. My husband had the hand-cut fries (I should have, my onion rings were typical frozen-from-a-bag), and he was happy they had fry sauce. It's a good quick meal with friendly service. read more

The menu on here is OUTDATED. So they claim. We called to order tofu scramble. The women on the phone kept asking me what I was saying and I repeated it 5 times. Then we get there and they give us country scrambled covered in meat and dairy. Not trying to be that vegan but they should be more proactive about having the right information online instead of misleading vegans on Yelp. They offered to exchange it out for oatmeal or other vegetable items but we took the loss on this one. read more

Great breakfast here. The loaded biscuits and gravy are super tasty, and a must-try. Good coffee and friendly service. This may be the closest thing Montrose has to a good old fashioned diner. Clean and comfortable. You won't regret trying this place out. read more

The Cabin - Nice atmosphere - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Montrose, Colorado

Located on one of the main drags into Montrose, CO. It looks like a Shanty, it's small and older no decor but clean. The service is fast and friendly and the food is delicious, several specialty burgers, fries, onion rings and milk shakes, good size servings. They serve breakfast too. Inside and outside seating. read more

Service was great, food was meh. We had the meat omelette and the Denver omelette, and both were just ok. A bare sprinkling of cheese. The atmosphere is "divey" but it is clean. Probably wouldn't come back if I was in Montrose. read more

The Cabin - Menu August 2016 - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Montrose, Colorado

Awesome breakfast food served by nice people. Always a great experience. This is our favorite for Sunday breakfasts.

Great little diner. When all of the restaurants are throwing away the "malt" option of the shake menu, they still got it. Biggest surprise was the vegetarian/vegan menu. They have 5 or 6 meatless options. read more

Great burger and awesome homemade fresh-cut fries!!! More than enough food served. Little on the pricy side for the burger. Dive like atmosphere with great service. read more

Don't be deceived by the hole in the wall decor, the food is top notch. My burger was perfectly cooked and the fresh cut fries were awesome. The menu is diverse with some great choices. I highly recommend The Cabin for high quality food read more

This used to be really good when it was the Shanty, but not so much anymore. It was always a little more pricey but the burgers were fantastic. Now they are just average, so it's not really worth the extra money. I had the bacon cheeseburger and it had one small piece of bacon down the middle and it was overcooked. The server was very nice though! read more

Wasn't a bad place. Just a regular diner with ok food. Great place to go for a local spot, but nothing to go out of your way for.

Horrible service! We waited for 20 mins to order even though there weren't many people there. Then the waiter messed up our order and our food came out in pieces. Other customers that arrived after us were fed and finished their food before we even got ours. The only positive thing was that the food was overall good. read more

One of my favorites when visiting Montrose. Their recent remodel makes it even better. read more

The Cabin - Yum!! Love this place. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Montrose, Colorado

The loaded biscuits & gravy are awesome. Best machaca I've had in Colorado!!! The staff is friendly. The cook came out and asked how the food was! We will definitely come back next time we're in this neck of the woods. read more

This is a great little resturant! The food is excellent and very fair priced. I had the huevos rancheros and it was delicious, homemade and fabulous green chilli. I would highly recommend the Cabin. read more

The staff was very kind and gracious to serve. My boyfriend and I ordered the sausage breakfast burrito and bacon breakfast burrito. The hash browns had green chilis in them! It was awesome. I eat a lot of breakfast burritos. While these were good, they did not stand out. I would suggest more green chili and a better quality bacon. read more

This was a mediocre dining experience and I feel overpriced. The server was very pleasant and efficient. The portions are large and the hand cut french fries were good but somewhat undercooked. read more

Came in for breakfast on a blustery winter morning looking for some comfort food, and we landed in comfort food heaven. The Loaded biscuits and gravy were nothing short of incredible. Biscuits, gravy, hash browns, and two eggs smothered in AMAZING green chile sauce. I probably only needed to eat half of it, but I honestly couldn't put my fork down. My husband had the breakfast burrito with chorizo (also smothered in green chile sauce) and he had the same issue with not being able to rest his fork. We will we back... I have my eye on the Belgian waffle with peanut butter sauce for next time. read more

The food was better than we expected! Fresh burgers and hand-cut fries. The service was desperately lacking. We had to hunt down our server for extra napkins and refills since she dropped the food and never returned. Pretty disappointing! read more

Awesome place for breakfast- lovelovelove the breakfast burrito. Friendly staff, good diner vibe. Definitely recommend.

Nothing special...overpriced for what you get.$70 for family of 4 to get 4 burgers and 3 shakes.Burgers were okay, but frozen not fresh. Fries were good but service was very very slow. Won't be back. read more

Stopped here after reading the previous review about how delicious the loaded biscuits and gravy were - we were not let down! Breakfast was delicious - waitress was very friendly and the service was quick. Better than Denny's and just as price friendly. We will definitely be back! read more

The Cabin - Loaded Biscuits and Gravy with pork green chili hash browns and scrambled eggs - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Montrose, Colorado

The Shanty II was a great surprise in Montrose. The family and I were in unfamiliar territory in need of lunch. A quick Yelp search sent us to a place that had closed. As we left my son saw The Shanty II. We're glade he did. It didn't look like much but they served burgers and the small parking lot was packed. That's generally a good sign. The menu is a bit limited, but that's ok. Burgers, chicken sandwiches and breakfast are all that's on the menu. The Shanty II knows it' customers and serves them well. You'll find a number of burger combo's, take your pick, they'll all be excellent. The reason being the burger meat is done in house, no frozen fast food patties. The chicken sandwich is different in that it's not a whole breast; it's cut up into bite size pieces much like a stir fry. This may be the best chicken sandwich I have eaten; too bad it was my wife's. My burger was outstanding as was my son's bacon cheese burger. Both were large, juicy and perfectly cooked. My wife hose a salad as her side and thought it was one of the better salads she had had in a long time. Where Shanty II slipped were their fries, while they are fresh cut they were not crispy and were a bit limp, disappointment for my son and me. The chocolate shake my son ordered was very good. The Shanty II will defiantly be a place we revisit, however next time maybe salad or onion rings as a side. read more

I have been here several times since my first review. Service is so good now with the same waitress. This is one place in Montrose that I can get the breakfast I want with a great coffee. My boyfriend still loves the loaded biscuits and gravy. In one weekend trip we will eat breakfast here at least twice. We have to come back for burgers and milkshakes. I hear they are the best in town. Keep up the good work shanty II! read more

Great burgers, hand cut fries and super friendly staff !! Definitely would recommend when your in Montrose :)

After camping for a night at the Black Canyon NP I needed something to right the wrongs that had been done to me and the dish as a whole by some bad green chile I had the day prior. The chile here is possibly the best I have ever had. I don't care if it takes forever to get your order, or if they play Fox News on all the TV's. I need a Shanty green chile tap in my house. read more

Great burgers and real fries. Kids meals are pricey $7 and there isn't a lot of space to sit. Adult meals are less than $10.

The food is super greasy I would say ordered a burger and it slides off the bun.Friendly service I would say..

Ate there just looking for a news place to eat. Not bad little over priced and I would not eat the fry sauce on the table it had mayo in it from what the waiter told me but they have it just sitting on the table that is a health hazard read more

In town to go to BCGNP, came here for breakfast! Ham and cheese and the chorizo scramble were both delicious! Great toast and tortillas! Asked for the hashbrowns extra crispy, and they were EPIC! Good choice of teas. Coffee was just alright. Good delicious. Servers were nice, quick, kind and often refilled! read more

Fast service. We were able to get a seat as soon as we walked in, although very small room and can ve easily cramped. The waitress, who was a former Dallas Cowboys cheerleader, was very nice and fast at refilling our coffee. The food looks fantastic, hot, and smells delightful. All in all I would stop here again if I was planning on eating breakfast to or from Telluride. read more

This is a great spot in Montrose. The food was outstanding and the service was fast. This is a great place for breakfast.

Had us sitting around for 30 min before they said they didn't have ingredients for one of our dishes, but they had found them and our food was on our way. Came out 15 min later to tell us they again didn't have ingredients for another dish. Total waste of 45 min and the place was a run down dump. read more

This little mom and pop burger joint is the best! There is very little seating and it's far from fancy if that's what you're looking for, but man their burgers are delish! Love it. read more

I was disappointed in the service and the food. I know the previous restaurant had a fantastic reputation, but I believe that has been lost with the new name. The service was extremely slow - it took around 40 minutes to get a sandwich, salad and burrito. The Reuben had very little meat, and we had to ask for the thousand island. The tripitas burrito had virtually no meat, but heavy on the rice. The salad was ok, but I ordered no cheese and got cheese anyways. Anyways, I will not be coming back. read more

Took 45 minutes to get our breakfast drinks were never refilled there was 4 of us 2 meals came out a couple minutes later next plate cam out then the last plate came out never got our pancake side of bacon came out when we were finished eating read more

Too many untrained children as servers. Our server was extremely unprofessional. She brought only one drink to our table at a time. Same with the meals. I ordered the scrambled eggs & ham. I expected to have fair sized chunks of ham in my scrambled eggs. It was very thin and small pieces, like sandwich ham. The eggs were very dry. Toast was dry and hard, no butter. The hash browns were burnt. Food was cold by the time it got to the table. From my seat I could see the server's station. One of the young girls war refilling the syrup decanters. She over filled one, spilling syrup all over the counter. With her hand, she scooped the syrup into a cup and then poured that syrup into another decanter. She dropped one of the decanter lids on the floor, picked it up, and put it right back on the decanter, and took it out to a customer table. She grabbed a rag, wiped off her hand, the decanter, the counter, and then the floor. She walked out with that same rag, folded it, and wiped off a table with it. VERY unsanitary. So many health code violations in just a few minutes from one person. This was my first, and last time to eat there. read more

Good pancakes, crispy bacon, eggs and hash browns. Pleasant and fast service. Ordered the Lumberjack

Bring back the Shanty, please! Not a good breakfast at all. Crisp hashbrowns (requested) were limp & half done, sausage patties were dry as in leather, coffee cold, you get the idea. read more

I do not recommend. Mine and my family's food was soggy and it really wasn't that good. We did not get any sauce and it took wayyyy too long. read more
