Kendall Mountain Cafe is a true gem! This small, family-owned restaurant does an amazing job handling the steady crowds of people coming through. The food is homemade, fresh, and absolutely delicious — you can really taste the love that goes into every dish. What stood out most was the hardworking and dedicated staff. Everyone there seemed committed to making sure guests had a great experience. It felt like a true team effort, and the atmosphere was so welcoming. One of the sweetest parts of our visit was seeing the cutest little boy — I’m guessing the son of one of the employees — helping out. He was seating people, bussing tables, and even bringing drinks! It was so heartwarming and really added to the family-friendly charm of the place. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area. You’ll leave full, happy, and smiling!

They were rather packed at 8:00 a.m but they slipped in the to-go order for me. 6 breakfast sandwich was huge! At least three eggs, maybe four plus bacon. They have really good hot sauce selection and to go hot sauce for me. Staff was super duper nice and working hard. All around excellent. Had outdoor seating for dogs. Go early

We had a fantastic breakfast at Kendall Mountain Cafe! The buttermilk and blueberry pancakes were absolutely delicious—fluffy, flavorful, and literally the size of the plate! We also tried the huevos rancheros, which were equally impressive—perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Great food, cozy atmosphere, and friendly service. Highly recommend stopping in if you're in the area! Also, lots of locals eating there which means it’s good!

We eat here when we road up to Silverton from Durango on the train. There was a short wait to be seated but the food was worth it. This is a spot you need to dine at when you are up this way. Keep in mind the altitude is over 9000 feet and you will feel a little lite headed.

Excellent breakfast burrito and potatoes! Service was friendly, yet overwhelmed.. I got there fairly early, yet the place was so overcrowded that I decided to get mine to go so I didn't have to wait for a table; I asked them to bring it out to my car. The order took over 30 minutes to show up, and a line was starting to form outside their door. Very glad I waited though - it was tasty and hot!
