Stockyard

Nice little restaurant with good down home cooking. Been there several times and the food was good and the service was good and friendly.
Recommended for a good meal.

Definitely the best place in delta to eat. Sheep headers sandwich is sooooooooo good! I fell in love with the servers, the butterfinger pie, the laid back. Only thing I would suggest is maybe change the music to newer country because that old crap is a bit depressing!!!

It’s ok it use to be better. I miss the salad bar. My husband likes the T-​bone dinner and i chicken fingers

Yes the décor is interesting but the food needs help. I would strongly recommend not ordering a hamburger. The hamburger had a funny taste to it and almost like it was half spoiled. I had the chicken curry soup and it was some of the best soup I’ve ever had anywhere. I also had a fish sandwich and it was a real fish not 1 of those squares frozen deals. That part was really good. Service was just okay.

Good for Delta, breakfast burrito is decent.

Horrible… «The Big Dipper» had literally one piece of roast beef. Might as well have called it a bread sandwich. Fries burnt and soggy. Lighting and atmosphere dark and depressing, and it shows with the service. This place used to be good a while back. Don’t eat here.

It was ok overall. It looked cool in a rustic way. The food ranged from barely ok to very good. Starting with the best, the chicken fried steak sandwich was very good. The fried shrimp, fried chicken and italian soup were good. The mashed potatoes and the white gravy they were served with were on the bland side, but ok. The French fries looked good, but didn’t taste fresh or hot. The strawberry rhubarb pie was the worst I’ve had. The waitress was barely ok, but maybe because she was the only one there.
It did seem to be a clean restaurant including the bathrooms.

Horrible food, over cooked, over priced, and the wait staff was inattentive at best. Don’t waste your time or money. Go to taco bell down the street instead.

Country diner nothing special here ordered a french dip not enough meat had onion rings way over battered service was alright doubt I’ll come back

This is an old-​fashioned Western diner and family restaurant. It is a fun place, with friendly waitstaff, good menu and good food.
I live on the East Coast, and since, when I am at home, I tend to eat largely organic foods and meats, dairy and eggs from drug-​free and pasture-​fed, cage-​free livestock,.Now, let me make totally clear from the start that if this is the kind of food that you are looking for while you are in Delta, Colorado, then you will NOT find it at Stockyars, nor is it likely that you will find it at ANY restaurant in Delta or within 15 miles of Delta~
However, if you are a looking for a good old-​fashioned traditional Western diner, one that is locally-​owned and operated, and frequented by old-​timer locals as well as by travelers from afar who were passing by on the highway, and if you want a place that is open long hours each day and has a wide range of diner-​type menu offerings, and lots of old-​fashioned traditional dessert dishes such as pies, cakes and ice cream, then this is the place for you! BTW, the pie display, and the pie selection, are each enormous!
This place is genuine Americana! It is not fancy, not at all. But the menu selection is wide and great, and the food is good, and the serving portions are hearty. I ate here at least six times during a 4-​day stay in the area with a friend while I was on a research field trip, and my meals included breakfasts, brunch and dinners, and all of the meals were very good, and very satisfactory.
One thing that amazed me was that this place, which has three seating areas and a considerable number of tables, was always crowded, regardless of whether we showed up for a meal at 7 AM, 10 AM, 6 PM or 9 PM! They seem to have a faithful following, and it is my impression (and also that of my friend Greta who was traveling with me) that this place is a local legend!
The service was quite good, albeit a bit slow and scattered at times (simply because the waitresses were so busy with the crowds)
By the way, I really liked the waitresses we encountered during our numerous meals at this joint — they reflected a wide range of Western women, including gritty and tough older women with gravelly voices from too many years of smoking too many cigeaettes and with hearts of gold, to young, saucy, sassy tattooed trendy punk waitresses with little bits of attitude!
In fact, I remember that during our last two meals here during our stay, and much to the amusement of my friend Greta, who was traveling with me, I developed a crush on a tattooed punk-​like and slightly-​trendy waitress with soulful eyes who had just been hired and was still going through waitress training! …sigh!
Overall, great place. I would eat here again for most of my meals if I were staying in this area again for a period of time.

Lunch was absolutely awesome! Had the steak sandwich homemade onion rings and the best chocolate cream pie ever! I highly recommend this business

Nasty fake potatoes and fake gravy from a box … My server was rude and I would never come back to this place not even if they paid me …

Been eating breakfast’s here for a long time, but I wonder why they keep burning my omelette? Bacon, Ham, Sausage… it doesn’t matter which one I order!
I like the food and staff, but if you keep it up, I’ll have to reconsider my rating.
Please?

Considering this is Delta, it’s not a horrible place, but by metropolitan standards it leaves somethings to be desired. The ultra casual nature of the waitstaff turned me off to it and made this steakhouse feel a bit more like a truck stop. On the other hand, its décor made it feel like a true-​to-​life old west joint to get your grub on.
Once inside you will find a selection of home-​baked pies on display, standard American menu items, and a laid-​back atmosphere. As you dine, you will be surrounded by cowboys, ranchers, and miners.

I’ve eaten here 3 times since I’ve been here and planning to make it a 4^th tomorrow.
I love their daily soups. Did I mention that I’ve eaten here 3 times since I’ve been in Colorado? That would be 3 days in a row since I discovered this awesome local gem.
Their soup has been different every day. I wanted to go every day for a single week to see if the soups would repeat, but alas, I had a full and promising meal schedule. I was also hoping to sit at every possible table but that was not meant to be. If you stop by, take a moment to appreciate the décor and the intricate leather work on the seats. You don’t see that kind of stuff every day.
They have a typical American lunch and dinner menu. Sandwiches and burgers for lunch, steaks and the like for dinner. I like their salad bar, and they have a spectacular selection of homemade desserts.
They have a decent burger. My bf tried the ribeye sandwich and made a bunch of special requests to make it edible for him, but he said it was alright. I thought it was okay with the additions, but as it was, a grilled piece of steak between a dry roll, it seemed kind of uninspired to me.
I was not impressed by their steak and I would not order it again for these reasons:
1. Pretty expensive for what you’re getting.
2. They put on their menu that they serve a steak blue, 30 seconds on each side.
3. Their steak was too thin to cook rare to begin with, about a half inch thick.
4. Steak was definitely not blue.
5. Sides were frozen veggies, microwaved cornbread, and a scoop of mashed potatoes and gravy.
6. A weird gamey taste to my steak. Maybe it is the local flavor since the meat is supposedly a local brand, but I also ate elk meat that night and the elk was less gamey. Not sure what’s going on there.
7. Did I mention that this was expensive for what you’re getting? I know they serve local meat and it’s a local restaurant, but I don’t feel like it’s a good bite for your buck.
On the plus side, you get a cup of soup with your meal and the service here is real friendly. A friendly face and good service will definitely keep me coming back for more. Oh, and a slice of pie. Or maybe blueberry cheesecake. No, definitely pie.
