What to Order
Hiker's Benedict ($16.58) – The signature dish. Two poached eggs and ham on English muffin, topped with mushrooms, smoked bacon, and a rich creamy gravy instead of traditional hollandaise. Substantial enough to fuel a full morning in RMNP. The gravy-over-hollandaise twist sets this apart from every other benedict in town.
Classic Eggs Benedict ($15.98) – If the Hiker's sounds too heavy, the classic delivers perfectly poached eggs, quality Canadian bacon, and smooth hollandaise. The execution here is consistently on point - one of the best traditional benedicts in Colorado.
Cinnamon Roll French Toast ($15.69) – House-made cinnamon rolls dipped in batter and grilled, topped with cinnamon butter, powdered sugar, and whipped cream. Comes with bacon or sausage. Sweet enough to share, rich enough to satisfy.
Chorizo Omelette ($15.98) – Mexican omelette with chorizo, green chilies, roasted onions, and cheddar. Served with salsa and sour cream. The chorizo delivers real heat without overwhelming. Comes with hash browns or grits.
Texas Steak Skillet ($16.29) – Shaved steak, sweet red peppers, roasted onions, jack and cheddar over potatoes with two eggs any style. Hearty enough to skip lunch entirely. A good choice for anyone wanting protein-heavy fuel.
💡 Pro Tip: Portions are shareable. The French toast with eggs easily feeds two people. Order one entrée and one side to save money while still leaving full. The ranch potatoes upgrade is worth it.
Who It's For (And Who It's Not For)
Best for: Early risers heading to RMNP (opens 7am), eggs benedict enthusiasts looking for variety, families with kids, groups wanting different options, and anyone prioritizing quality over speed.
Skip if: You need lightning-fast service during peak hours, want extensive lunch options (breakfast-focused menu), or prefer counter-service casual - this is full-service dining.
Looking for other breakfast options? Check Big Horn Restaurant for huge portions and BBQ, or Mountain Home Cafe for famous green chile.
