Rancher's Roost Cafe - Westcliffe

The service has gotten pretty bad here. After eating here for 4 years, today the waitress was NOT happy to be here at all. Never smiled, couldn’t answer any of my questions about the food. Outwardly showed she was not interested in the customers, rolled her eyes several times. Terrible body language. In this day and age, and especially in a town where jobs are not very plentiful, you don’t need to have employees who don’t understand, nor have any interest in service.

Nice quiet late lunch. I LOVE their Ruben sandwich!! Never soggy!! Great flavor! I'm not a fan of swiss cheese so I always do any other white cheese. Anything but swiss! ?

Have been here many times with no complaints, until today. We went in with some family from out of town. We were super excited to show them our favorite local restaurant. Only to be completely embarrassed by the service we received simply because a portion of our party were gay. We were the first table seating when they opened. But waited over an hour for our food, never checked on to see if we needed anything, half of the food was cold. Pretty disappointed and not sure we will be back.

Was on vacation from Grapevine (Dallas), TX and had been driving all day and was tired. It was pouring down rain and we had been to one other place that had a wait but no place to wait so we ended up here. There were 3-4 other tables and were told it would be an hour wait for the food as they were shorthanded. She was telling everyone that so I’m guessing that was her way of saying please leave. We decided to stay. She was fine with it and very nice about it. The food did take a long time but we were okay waiting. The food was just okay. We had 3 hamburgers, 3 cokes and an appetizer and it was $75. Definitely not worth the wait nor the price. To me, very overpriced, and this is coming from someone that eats at a lot of restaurants.

Best burger in Westcliffe. Very nicely charred served on a good roll. And the French fries! Every time they're golden outside with crispy crusts and soft insides. Consistently good. Staff very friendly and professional. Afterward watch some good bowling league action as a bonus. A must visit when in Westcliffe.
