Back Country Cafe

A great breakfast place! The service was incredible, very attentive. The bacon was great and the eggs were cooked perfectly. The potatoes were really good and crispy. The pancake was HUGE, it was cooked well and had great flavoring. I’ll definitely eat here again, worth the short wait.

Would highly recommend trying W Cafe before this place.

Food was just alright. The sausage in the gravy seemed undercooked and made my wife and myself feel ill shortly after eating there. I eat rare steak so it must of been pretty bad. Service was ok.

Note: Updated my review because I posted it only an hour after I ate there. And it took 6 hours for the undercooked sausage to really hit me. My wife didn’t last quite as long. (Original star rating was 3)

Emily was our server and she did such an excellent job, she was on it immediately any time we needed something. The food was tasty too, I got the toasted hippy sandwich with tziki sauce on it and it was very good. Also got one of their coffee cocktails and it was great as well! Would definitely come back.

If you're in Gunnison and in need of a delicious breakfast to cure your hangover, Back Country Cafe is the place to go! I had the Breakfast Gyro and it was absolutely amazing. The flavorful gyro meat, fresh veggies, and fluffy eggs all wrapped up in a warm pita was the perfect combination to get me ready for my college graduation. The cozy atmosphere and friendly staff made for an overall great experience. Highly recommend!

Great local café. I had a great Greek omelette and the kitchen had no problem changing out the cheese and adding mushrooms. Homemade biscuits and good gravy. This is where the locals hang out and for good reason. We read that the toast isn’t buttered and that is true. I think maybe ihop if that’s your expectation of a good breakfast.

As a Gunnison local, I’ll say this is the best breakfast in town! Where the locals really go. Also it’s family owned and all of the staff is wonderful! The breakfast nachos are my fave but you can’t go wrong with anything on their menu!

Absolute best place to eat in Gunnison!!!! Great service and wait staff!!! Cooks are excellent as is the food. Please ring the bell 🔔 after your meal and leave the cooks a tip as well. The ladies kept us busy talking about our trip from NC and things to do in the area. They treated us like family and was the best experience in our 4 day stay in the area. Back Country Cafe is a must stop in Gunnison!!!!! I’d give 10 ⭐️ if I could!

This place is one of the finest eating establishments in all of Gunnison County. From the eggs benedict, to the chicken fried steak and eggs, I've been eating here for a couple years now, and only have had one complaint. And it wouldn't even be worth mentioning. Not to mention when I commented to the server, they handled it immediately, and even gave the party that was with us, a complimentary bread pudding to go. The waitress was spectacular! My daughter-in-law is in her first trimester, and the waitress told us it was going to be a significant weight for the kitchen, more than usual. I mentioned to her that she was pregnant, she immediately hopped to it and offered her some toast and or a bowl of fruit. Very sweet and nice.

BEST breakfast in the whole area. Girls were nicest people in Colorado! Highly recommend. We drove 40 miles from CB cause the food and service was that great! It was so nice having such good service.

We were visiting Gunnison again for our grandson's graduation. We had breakfast here two mornings. I had eggs benedict (I think they call it The Classic) one morning and Belgian waffles the other. My wife had a skillet breakfast. The food was quite good. What was more noteworthy was the service. All the ladies are happy and cheerful and continue monitoring your coffee and other needs. In particular, Delphine is extraordinarily cheerful and it is infectious: it brightens your day. All in all, a wonderful experience..
