Ever since Mountain Shadows went out of business in Lake George, I've been hoping for a great local restaurant to take its place. Â I'm so happy I found this place. Â I'm optimistic that Lake George Cafe will "fill the shoes" left by Mountain Shadows. Â
Don't let the name fool you - this is more than a pizza joint. Â They have breakfast, lunch and dinner. Â I stopped by on my way home from hunting on a Sunday morning. Â I had a breakfast burrito that was as good as any I've had. Â And, it was cooked by a pirate! Â Yes a pirate. Â The chef is an Orlando Bloom impersonator who was in "Pirates of the Caribbean" character when we stopped by to eat. Â The waitress was happy, friendly and made us feel right at home. Â The coffee was fresh, hot, delicious and copiously forthcoming. Â I'd give Lake George Cafe a 5 star, but I need to come back at least another time to test for consistency. Â But I can highly recommend that you stop by while travelling highway 24 Â through the middle of Colorado.
After driving through much of South Park with no luck on the food front, my boyfriend and I stopped in here to eat. Â Evidently, many of south park's residents don't eat after 7 pm. Â We had a horrible time finding somewhere to eat that was both open past 7 pm and was good in almost every town in South Park on our way to Guffey, CO. Â This place was not only open until 9 pm, but was also delicious. Â The wait staff was super friendly, gave good suggestions on the menu, and checked back with us several times to make sure we were happy and satisfied with our meal. Â I got a burrito after the waitress told me that she had it, herself, that evening and that it was delicious. Â It really was! Â Especially considering this place is primarily a pizza joint. Â My boyfriend got a hamburger. Â They ground their own beef in house, which was obvious as the burger was delicious. Â I wouldn't have expected the sangria to be out of this world, and it wasn't much to write home about. Â But, it was cold and the glass was full, so it did the job after a long drive and a bit of stress in locating a place to eat. Â I would definitely stop here again, and would highly suggest it to anyone looking for something to eat up around Lake George. Â I tend to find that, sometimes, the best places really do reside in a double wide!
Review Source:When you see this place from the outside, the fact that it is a double wide trailer can turn a lot of people off. Â However, the food is good and reasonably priced. Â We have had breakfast there occasionally and lunch several times when we drive through this little town. Â The pizza is great and there is a nice sandwich selection - my wife LOVES the peppy panini sandwich. Â It's a convenient stop for people heading to Breckenridge from the Springs. Â I'm looking forward to trying out the dinner menu - like the Friday Fish Fry. Â A very friendly serving staff makes the meal even more special.
