Brown Burro Cafe

We did not have a good experience here. We arrived and were told it would be a long wait to sit inside, but we could sit outside if we wanted. So we sat outside. We ordered almost immediately. Half an hour went by, and we hadn't seen our waitress or heard anything about our food. Also the weather had turned bad, so we hunted someone down and asked to be moved inside. They said there was no room inside and that our food would be out soon. We went back outside, watched multiple tables be seated inside, and after 15 minutes still had no food. A waitress said we could come stand inside in the corner if we wanted while we waited. Then they closed the patio, so we had no table at all. After asking two more times about our food or a table, we were seated at a table with two other people. When we got our food, it was super disappointing. I could have made something better at home, without the hour wait.

Delicious!!! Come early before the crowds. Breakfast burrito is delicious!

Not sure what's up with this place.... tried to come for breakfast on Wednesday July 28, it was closed. Tried again today Saturday 31st, closed again.
Hopefully not going out of Business...

This place has been around for a long time. The owner's George and Judy are in working hard everyday to make sure everyone has the best experience. Some of the wait staff has been there over 15years. Food is great!!

The brown burro is super cute and hv a ton of stuff on there menu, however the couple things and even the diff coffee I've had weren't tht great:/ Perhaps less on the menu so the things you do serve actually taste GOOD

Great place local home town cooking. Buffalo burger and Guacamole salad were very good. Service was great as well. Reasonably priced and the have daily specials. Only a little way west of 285.

Maybe the beat breakfast sausage I’ve ever had in my life. French toast was perfect. Inside was very cool. Everything was great and exactly like you would hope.

Party of 6- told the wait would be 25 minutes, it was 50. Got seated and given menus, Order was taken 15 minutes later. One hour later asked if our food was being cooked or almost ready after noticing three tables that were seated after us had already eaten and we’re getting ready to leave. Found out the food ticket had never been submitted. Food for four of us came out rather quickly, one plate had to be sent back as it was frozen in the middle, one plate came 10 minutes after the others. Only offered a 20% discount on one meal that was cold in the middle

I've lived close to fairplay for 13 years now, the brown burro has always existed, but has had various owners over the years. The new owners are fairly kind people, and they brought the menu's quality up quite a bit. The food is the best its ever been. Today I ordered the buffalo burger, the meat was great and good quality but could use some seasoning. It tasted almost as if it had no seasoning at all. I usually get the breakfast items, which are always spot on.
The service is another story though. Typically I give them a break about service quality because the restaurant is almost always slammed. Typically an hour long wait during summer. Today it wasnt that busy and there was definitely no reason to have to wait 30 minutes for my order to be taken, and another 30 minutes for my food to be made for a table of two. While sitting there I watched the waiter mess up two orders. While our order was finally being taken, we kept being interrupted because the other waiter was trying to figure out where the mess up was and rudely interrupted. I noticed that the waiters working had absolutely no organization of shift roles and customer service either and it was causing quite the problem. At no point in time did any of the three waiters working do table visits to ask if they needed anything, which my water ran empty and never got asked if I would more. When they took empty plates from the tables, there was no introduction or asking if they could take it and no pardoning their reach in front of your face.
The cleanliness of the restaurant was the worst part. The first thing that caught my attention was after the tables were cleared, the waiter who was wiping them down literally barely wiped the corner of the table. It made me curious enough to pay attention as I walked by the door to the kitchen and noticed the floor was hideously dirty and the equipment looked like it hadn't been wiped down in awhile. The floor to the back storage was also terribly filthy.
In all this restaurant is horribly organized and isnt very clean at all. The only good part is the food tastes good.

Awesome small town atmosphere but with lots of travelers and super friendly staff. Incredible food cooked quickly to top it off. Ideal place for food if you stop in Fairplay.

Hoping it was a bad day and not the norm.
Waited in line for over 40 minutes to get coffee on Saturday afternoon. One person was trying to work the counter alone with one blender.
We couldn't wait any longer so we ended up leaving.
