Walking in is like walking back in time. It has had a couple of iterations, but remains old fashioned and quaint. The menu has many choices and best you look on line at it before coming in first for a meal as if you are likely to change your mind. Kacey our waitress was awesome. She took our order and got it to us on the double. The food is so well prepared and just a perfect taste. You need to come here and see for yourself. They knock the ball outta the park with awesome food and service. read more

Was estimated a 15 minute wait for outside seating, but ended up getting in really quick as it was just a table for two. Server was very nice and checked on us multiple times. We waited well over an hour for our food to come out though. Mind you it was only an Eggs Benedict and Biscuits & Gravy. Prices are pretty good and the breakfast is a very homestyle cooking. read more

Very accommodating and fast service! The food was amazing and the service was probably the best! Definitely a must try!

The service was absolutely horrendous. It took 40 minutes to get avocado toast and an omelet. Very disappointing and I won't be back. Multiple people walked out due to the very slow service.... Avocado toast trash. Omelet was decent. A really bad experience. read more

checked in at 1155 was told 20 minutes as everyone was told the same thing. 40 minutes later we were seated. Knew what we wanted to order as we looked at the menu while waiting. An hour later we still didn't have our food and it wasn't coming out anytime soon. Refilled coffee once, after having to ask for it. At that point we asked for our check for 2 coffees $10 and left read more

NOPE! When I saw the "syrup" I should have known. The pancakes were white, nothing golden about them, flavorless. Over medium eggs...same thing - very light with barely yellow yolks. Bacon...salt, no flavor. Good coffee though in big cups! For a make house..make great pancakes with quality syrup. Magic is in the details... read more

Great spot to enjoy breakfast after hiking! Service was a little slow but they were slammed so I totally understand. Coffee was abundant. Portions of food were huge! We loved everything! Indoor and outdoor seating available. They also have a decent sized parking lot. Cute patriotic decor inside. Cozy small town diner feel. Loved it! read more

We've driven by this place numerous times and never gave them the chance, why? Food was delicious and the service was really quite good. We went on a Saturday morning. It was getting busy but that didn't stop them from staying on top of things. I noticed there were some high school aged kids in there. Kudos for hiring them. You don't see that too much lately. All in all I would recommend Uncle Sam's for a really good old time feel cafe with great food read more

This by far is the best place for breakfast Manitou Springs. The place is old quirky place, with mimosas. The wait staff are dressed in old time dinner fashion. We tried to return the following day for a repeat breakfast. However the place was packed with people and a waiting time exceeded our need to get back on the road. Love this place read more

Great breakfast at this American themed restaurant. The pancakes sandwich is a must try with two solid pancakes, bacon, eggs and cheese inside. Throw some syrup in the mix and every bite is terrific. Nice staff and good coffee too. read more

Food was okay. Bacon super greasy. A bit overpriced. Waffle was delicious. Wait time was terrible. Took over 40 minutes to get our food once we ordered. Waiter - Parker was very nice and friendly. read more

Quaint little place, good food, good service. Delicious pancakes and French toast. Decor is reminiscent of old mom and pop diner read more

Visited here on the morning of 01/01 new years. It was very clean, great staff, attentive and food was good. Beans might have been canned, not for me. Green chili was mild and big chunks of pork, liked it immensely. My wife loved the belgian waffles with hot syrup. Overall for this being our first visit after moving here to Manitou was a great experience, we will be back! read more

My boyfriend and I had breakfast here and it was hands down some of the best we've had! Service was great, our waitress was incredibly friendly and everything came out quickly and tasted great. The cream cheese stuffed French toast was 10/10 read more

This place is a great place to go. The food is amazing, The staff was super nice and friendly. They are quick and attentive. Definitely recommend going read more

Amazing breakfast and kids meals were perfect portion for my hungry hikers. Service was great and the coffee refills endless!

We came here for some food after exploring Garden of the Gods. It wasn't very far and we were pleasantly surprised it was not crowded (since the park was super crowded!). The decor is kitschy americana and the vibe is small town diner - I loved both. We ordered eggs and pancakes, and everything was so delicious. I built my own omelette and it was perfectly made. They make their own syrup in house, and it's not overly sweet. I wish they sold it! The super kind waitress gave me a few ounce sized to-go containers to take some home. They also make their own cinnamon butter. Yum! We loved our food. Pancakes run rampant on the breakfast menu in the best way - I was even able to get one with my omelette (instead of toast) and they sell single pancakes too! Breakfast is served all day which is awesome. I think this place may be an underrated gem. No notes, we found it perfect. If I lived locally I would come back again and again. read more

My brother lives very close to here, so we walked over to check it out after seeing it had good reviews. The menu has a decent selection of standard breakfast items and lunch sandwiches. We came Saturday morning and were able to be seated within 20 minutes. The issues came after that...we both got water and ordered immediately upon sitting down. I asked for a straw and she said she'd be back. We proceeded to not be checked on nor receive any food for over 40 minutes. I am a server, so I get it to an extent. But this was unacceptable. Finally after 40 minutes I asked where our food was (and for a straw) and we had to wait another 10 minutes or so. The food was okay, at best. I honestly think my wait made it even more anticlimactic. Overall, I don't think I would come back ever again, there are way better options in the area. read more

This comes seriously close to the perfect breakfast. Delicious. I went for pancakes & my husband went for the hash. Cooked perfectly. The syrup is light & sweet, homemade whipped cream & cinnamon butter are so so good. Really friendly service that makes it a great experience. Don't let the outside fool you, this is a great place to eat! read more

Uncle Sam's Pancake House - Breakfast! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Manitou Springs, Colorado

My new favorite Colorado breakfast place. Biscuits with gravy, perfectly cooked bacon, delicious omelet, and raisin bread French toast with homemade cinnamon butter... It was close your eyes and say, "mmmm..." good. We would have taken photos, but we started eating with gusto and forgot. We were one of their first customers. Our waiter was great- welcoming and attentive to our needs. The restaurant was decorated in a patriotic theme with sing along "oldies" playing in the background. PS- they also serve lunch! read more

I honestly hate leaving reviews like this but it was truly our worst experience thus far. We checked in and were told about a 20 minute wait. We waited for 45 minutes. We were seated and we ordered within 3 minutes because we were so hungry and wanted our food asap. There was a fan blowing in our area that made it so cold and it was such a strong and loud fan that it made it uncomfortable. After 35 minutes of waiting for our food, without being checked on once or told anything about the wait for our food, I finally flagged down a lady to ask for an update letting her know we were approaching 40 minutes. It seemed as though our server was on a break since we hadn't seen her, and she didn't check on anyone else sitting in her section. The lady we asked for an update never came back and even avoided us. I had to flag her down again and she said she'd check. She came back saying it was getting plated right now. At this point it had been 47 minutes of waiting for the food but alas, it arrived. When our food arrived, we could not believe we waited 47 minutes for what we received. We thought about just leaving but our 1.5 yo daughter was so hungry. After about 20 minutes of waiting, we started to think maybe it's because we're brown. We could not think of any other reason why our server never updated us or thanked us for our patience or anything. The table that got seated behind us about 15 minutes after us, received their food right after us. The service was completely unacceptable. The price for what we received was ridiculous and the food was not that good. We had one coffee and one strawberry lemonade on top of our food order and it cost us $50. Sad to say we will never go back, especially since it was recommended. I rated it 1 star because it won't let me post without a star. read more

Uncle Sam's Pancake House - Meat Lover's Burrito and Chicken Fried Steak - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Manitou Springs, Colorado

Delicious chili relleno for breakfast, and my husband had a classic breakfast platter. A little bit pricy, but the food was definitely great to start off our morning on a long day of traveling and hiking! The server was very pleasant and personable, and the little diner vibe is one to enjoy, for sure! Would definitely stop in again, if we are back in town. read more

We chose this pancake house for the food on the menu and the ability to get service on a dog friendly patio. The highlight was the Mickey Mouse chocolate chips pancakes from the kids menu. They were able to pick their toppings and even the adults loved them! They chose bananas and s'mores topping. Absolutely delicious! 4 stars because I feel the decor was a bit outdated. read more

The food was great. The service was amazing. Very affordable and the atmosphere was great the ambiance was also great.

Worst breakfast place I've ever been to in my life we come in, we are told it's only a 20 minute wait so we wait outside then it's been about 40 minutes we check in with the lady and she told us that we told her we didn't wanna eat here anymore, which made no sense because we waiting in front of her the whole time. Then a hour comes by she said we would be the next person in line then she calls another table, I go up to her and ask if we are still on the list she said no. I was reasonably annoyed. Then she raises her voice at me, tells me not to get mad at her repeatedly. Starts yelling at us that it's not her fault when that is her job?? Very confused. She told us it was our fault. Then she rudely seated us, then gave the table next to us the completely wrong food. DO NOT RECOMMEND!! read more

Great food. Perfect service. The server understood the assignment when I asked for extra creamer for my coffee!! read more

Uncle Sam's Pancake House - Biscuits and gravy ( no sausage in it as ordered) , peach pie pancakes!! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Manitou Springs, Colorado

Pancakes & stuffed french toast were amazing, great classic breakfast with quality ingredients. We took our granddaughters and they loved it! Would definitely recommend and come back. The only complaint that I had is they stuck us in the back room with no other customers. It seemed like a closed area, so not sure why they put us there. We would have gladly waited for a table in the main dining room. read more

Every time we are in the vicinity of Manitou Springs, Uncle Sam's is a must visit. The food is excellent and the staff are cheerful and attentive. This is one of my favorite breakfast spots anywhere! Highly recommended. read more
