O’Brien’s Cafe

O’Brien’s is a place I’ve wanted to go to for a long time. Just got that great diner atmosphere. Chicken Fried Steak was a miss. I’ll try the pancakes next

Great breakfast, and lunch! Always been a regular. My favorites are the cinnamon buns, biscuits and gravy, or really any of the pies. They have a white board for the daily specisls, and one for pies (both good things to check out upon arrival). A friend of mine swears by their breakfast burritos.
Wonderful family buisness! They always have something going for the holidays. Will be back time, and time again.

Husband had the special. English Breakfast which was beans, sausages, home style potatoes, grilled tomatoes and mushrooms, 2 eggs, and toast. He ate evert hing and also added a little of their homemade ghost Chile hot sauce. He said it was hot. I had the Texas omelet with a jalapeño cream cheese inside plus bacon and onions. Amazing. I tried the homemade garlic Serrano hot sauce which was mild and added a nice kick to the flavor.

I think this place has high ratings because it’s the only breakfast place for miles around.
Standard American Diet (SAD) served here. If you are looking for fresh farm to table, organic, non GMO, keep driving.

We had eggs, bacon, hashbriwns and pancakes all of which were very quite tasty. Brittany was pleasant and took care of everything we needed quickly.

It’s food…
Breakfast was a disappointment. Bad coffe, no flavor to the green chili or the gravy. Eggs were cooked as ordered but the breakfast burrito was missing the sausage but not the hair. Unilocalers say to get the cinnamon roll, they were out. We figured the pie would make up for it, Sarah Lee would have been better. Our waitress with the booger hanging out of her nose disappeared and the replacement was too busy to greet a customer who just decided to leave. He was the smart one.

This is a cool little hidden spot. We like to hit it up for a very casual but tasty brunch. So far, I have enjoyed everything on the menu. Save room for pie.

A little disappointing… slow service, green chili was bland. Needed flavor. My rye toast was good, as were the hash browns, but that is where it ended.
Pies looked good, but didn’t have a chance to try them. Not sure I ever will…

Like most of the other comments, this is a little diner off of one of my favorite motorcycle roads. I had nothing to do so I stopped in for a burger and a piece of pie. Burger was not anything special, but the fries were real– and delicious. I debated on apple pie or banana cream, and decided on apple. It was okay– crust was not flakey and the pie didn’t have much flavor. The waitresses are friendly and the environment was relaxing with many locals enjoying coffee and joking around. So, if you are in the area it might be worth the stop, but I wouldn’t go out of the way to come here.

Good food, friendly staff. O’Brien’s offers a good, basic breakfast and hearty lunch and dinner items. Their baked goods are very tasty too. This is the kind of place where you enjoy your meal and the experience. For me, this is a good substitute for the remodeled, not-​the-​same, B&B Café in downtown Castle Rock. Lots of locals eat here but you’ll still feel welcome.

This place is wonderful. My family came in from Sedalia KY to visit and I thought it would be neat to go to a restaurant in Sedalia, CO. This place reminds me of home with great home cooking. We had breakfast and it was delicious. The folks there were great especially our waitress, Stephanie. Plus, since it was our first time there they gave a couple of complimentary cinnamon rolls. Melt in your mouth. Go here, you will not be disappointed.

Below average breakfast. My eggs were over cooked (scrambled) and the biscuits and gravy were just average. The service was okay, but not great. I wouldn’t return.

Yummy! Save room for dessert or take some home. Just lovely.

Great breakfast. Looking forward to coming back to try the pie! Driven by this place for too many years. Now I’ll go out of my way to come here.

Not a terrible place and it is local but the coffee was weak and the foot while not terrible was not spectacular. Good, attentive service but only so-​so food.

Solid, tasty diner — filled with locals and tasty unique options. Meatloaf for breakfast? You bet!

Best breakfast diner on my cross country road trip. This place is awesome!

A quaint country roadside diner is right up my alley! And I’ve been wanting to stop here for a longtime. The woman I supposed was the own, party blond, was super friendly and quick with a joke. And the interior is a dyslexic version of a diner, a mix of 50’s chairs and 70’s eh.
But the charm really stops there.
A burger In a place like this should be great. Mine was a frozen preform with no flavor. I asked for no tomatoes, but got them anyway. And they didn’t have onions. Come on! The fries were good, home made, but ovecooked so that some were Inedible.
This place could be great, but the food is not worthy of the country legend this place could be.

I can’t believe I never knew about this hidden gem! Great breakfast spot, they have traditional breakfast fare along with skillets and some mexican specialties. We were happy to see they had grits, creamy and delish. Very friendly service too. Haven’t tried their lunch fare yet, but it all looked great at the neighboring tables. I would have given them a «5» but they dropped the ball on their homemade pie. We had two pieces — apple and custard. The apple did have homemade crust but used canned apples (a deal-​breaker for me) The custard pie, although a homemade filling, was a little bland and used a premade crust. So we were disappointed with the promise of homemade pie when it really wasn’t. Another nice touch would be to not use pre-​packaged jelly — would have loved a little jar on the table instead. Aside from this, we will definitely come back — great casual spot.

O’Brien’s is truly a diamond in the rough. The café is adjacent to a bizarrely-​named pet grooming business – Bowser Bubbles – in a drab little building along Highway 85. Don’t let the outside fool you – this place is amazing! After spending the morning hiking Devil’s Head, we stopped here for lunch – and, oh boy, I’d rank this as one of my best Unilocal finds ever.
The interior is uniquely decorated with shelves full of random trinkets – think Cracker Barrel except way stranger (and thus awesome). Many of the decorations were related to princesses – hey, things don’t have to make sense to be cool. One more thing that definitely didn’t make sense – the old school indoor thermometer (circa 1990) strategically positioned between the two dining room areas. Props to O’Brien’s for being the only restaurant I’ve ever seen with an indoor thermometer.
In the corner of the restaurant near the restrooms, there is a shelf of books with a hand-​written sign above it promoting the «BOOK EXCHANGE.» Yes, you can borrow books to read while you’re enjoying your brunch. Brilliant. Simply brilliant.
The menu was awesome – tons of terrific breakfast/​brunch options. Lots of the foods are topped with homemade green chili. O’Brien’s also has a menu entitled the «MAN-​U» in honor of its manliness. Yes, I ordered from the MAN-​U. I ordered the #2 – the Mighty Meat Skillet with sourdough toast. Our waitress assured me that this was one of O’Brien’s most popular meals. The skillet was a perfect blend of meats, spices, potatoes, and eggs… smothered in green chili – ahh, my mouth was in heaven.
O’Brien’s has several excellent dessert options. Although I didn’t order dessert (way too full from the skillet), I did try a friend’s rhubarb pie – fresh and absolutely delish.
Random place + princess decorations + book exchange + indoor thermometer + great menu + delicious green chili + friendly servers + homemade pies = one of the best little cafes I’ve ever experienced.
