Our experience was very good. The turkey burrito was stuffed with eggs and a healthy helping of sausage with a green chili was perfect. My son didn't read the description of the waffles, which have sugar inside. He was not a fan of the texture, but not the fault of the restaurant. Husband enjoyed eggs, biscuits and gravy. Service was great. Both eggs were ordered over hard but the yolk was completely runny, thus 4 stars.

Cute place. I liked their corn and poblano pepper soup

This restaurant is exquisite. We are vacationing here and found this gem online. I ordered the AVO toast with smoked salmon and eggs over medium which came with a greens salad. The smoked salmon tasted amazing and fresh. It was like they went out and caught it that morning and cooked it for breakfast. The greens salad had fresh delicious fruit and a tart vinaigrette to compliment the sweetness of the fruit. The chef actually came out to our table and asked us how our food was. She recommended the hot springs to us and told us to enjoy our stay and that they were happy we stopped in. Very polite staff and delicious food. We will definitely eat here again before leaving! 10/10 recommend.

I’ve been a regular at Silver Llama since they opened and always love their food! Sherry and her team do a great job and I’ve never had a bad meal. They definitely get super busy during Leadville’s busy season, as do most restaurants, but handle it like pros.

Got a toasted bagel with cream cheese. Tasted like they either put it on a greasy flatop, put that cheap restaurant butter on it, or both. Barely had any cream cheese too. Was pretty disappointed with it. Other items looked or sounded good but would avoid this here.

Food delivered almost an hour late. Refused refund and no apology. After food finally delivered owner continued to harass us for asking for a refund. Then she tried to steal my credit card which I dropped. My wife had to pull it out of her hand.
Based on the several dozen other bad reviews describing this exact situation the owner is clearly delusional. 👇

This place is literally the worst place I've ever visited in Leadville. If you like hanging around jerks, and eating frozen food, then this is your element. Places like this are absolutely consuming the town, however this seems to be the capital of the trending garbage establishments. Literally nothing is fresh. Kitchen has mice running around in the back, and the help has attitude. How does a place like this even stay afloat? Everything they make looks like it was thrown together like a toddler scribbling crayon on a wall. This is SUPPOSE to be a bakery, and they don't bake ANYTHING! It's disappointing Leadville threw out good food only to transplant it with these sorry excuses for food choices. Things are changing people.

Sandwich OK but you can’t call a ham sandwich an Italian just because of salami and provolone. Very pricy $16 for small 4” focaccia roll with a few ruffles. I opted of a side salad for $2 extra it was good but for$16 a small sandwich should at least have a side that isn’t ruffles out of a bag

Went for breakfast today and it was Okay. I remember liking it better a few years ago. Today they got the order wrong but corrected it within about 15 minutes. The burrito I had was tasty but the pototoes in it were undercooked. The side of hash browns were Okay as well but certainly nothing noteworthy, every cheap diner in the country has something equally uninteresting. So not bad but City on the Hill has better coffee, the burritos are as good and it's quicker and more consistent. The new itteration of the Golden Burro is much better but perhaps not to everyone's liking, it is a whole lot cleaner though! I would give the Silver Llama 2.5 stars since it's not bad, not great, just mediocre.

Wow! I haven't eaten out much since the pandemic hit, but I sure was happy to have breakfast this morning at the Silver Llama Market & Eatery in Leadville, CO! My avocado Caprese toast with breakfast greens (all GF, thank you!) and rich, hot coffee was served up quickly and professionally by staff adhering to safety protocols without sacrificing warmth and courtesy. The meal was scrumptious, and my hunger was totally satisfied! Will definitely patronize this restaurant in the future! Oh, and the interior design is nothing short of fabulous!
