Fat Cat Cafe Reviews

Great buffet selection, it's best to call ahead to reserve seating or else you will be waiting for couple minutes

Super cute place and the staff was absolutely awesome! The French toast was delicious and extremely filling (I could only finish 1 and a half out of the 3 pieces).

The 1st time we went to this place we met the owner and the service and food was phenomenal. This time I went in no one waiting, I was told someone would be right with me. Then another lady walks in and the girl immediately greets her and knows her, so she grabs her pad and asks her what she needs. I immediately asked if there was a problem that I was just passed over for her friend. So she told me, oh I didn't realize you were waiting. How she couldn't know is beyond me. So I told her I had a to-go order that I would like to pick up. She responded with I don't have your ticket and proceeded to take her friends order. I did get my order just after that but it was just thrown haphazardly into the bag everything was just mixed together, the food was not of the quality it was the first time. So at this point it is a 50/50 chance on what you are gonna get, we will try it one more time, but at this point there are some concerns.

The best breakfast venue in the whole state of Colorado.

Absolutely wonderful brunch!! Everything was homemade and delicious!! Reasonably priced. Going to Grand Lake? You must stop by there. Get a super yummy pie to go!!

The best meal value in Grand Lake, Colorado. While the food is not epic it is good, comes in generous quantities and the price is OK. The weekend buffet is all you can eat for less than $15.00. Just about anywhere else you go out to eat in Grand Lake it is going to cost you more. And the town only has one small grocery store. The Fat Cat is recommended.

Wow. What an awesome find in RMP! Breakfast AND a dessert buffet, with proper English scones + fabulous cooking/ baking done by a friendly staff. Must come back!

Food was good. The only bad side is it was small and it was packed on a sunday. The buffet desserts were awesome!

Homey and relaxed atmosphere. Delicious food, loved the Scotch eggs. Sunday brunch was around14.00. There were more desserts/baked goods than anything on the buffet. Did not try them but they looked good. Friendly owner, likes to chat. :)

Clean and friendly place for a quick bite and good coffee.

Loved the breakfast. Cinnamon rolls are the best. Saturday and Sunday they only serve a breakfast buffet and have a whole pie/dessert table...amazing.

The weekend buffet is delicious, affordable, and has vegetarian options. I highly recommend this place. The coffee is tastey as well!

Only open for a breakfast buffet. The owner knows how to make her sweets! All very good food.

Their pies are the best I've ever had, not too sweet, fresh and many varieties. Everyone is extremely friendly.

Awesome breakfast and friendly service. Huevos rancheros were great.

Best breakfast buffet in the world. The whole world. My favorite breakfast

Incredible breakfast buffet. Very friendly, Sally the owner is second to none in hospitality.

Pie for dessert during breakfast! What a great place to start your day in Grand Lake.

Cozy little place with a large selection for the buffet. Some items were really good and we homemade where other items seemed processed. Bring am appetite for the buffet to make it worth it.

Wow all that down home baking!
Went for the Sunday brunch buffet. Had to wait 30mins for a shared table. It was well worth the wait. Some of the best cream pies I've tried in a few years (usually my wife won't let me order pie).

Keep on cooking! You guys are doing an awesome job.

Plain and simple. Gross!!! Bacon was good and the Binet. Cinnamon roll was tuff. Do t go thinking biscuits and Garvey. They were . tasteless So wished I had took my wife up paid and left and went somewhere else Run!

This was the finest breakfast experience I have ever had. I was almost reduced to tears when I had eaten my fill. With everything Colorado has to offer, if you have one thing to plan your trip around, make it The Fat Cat!

PS, To rate it with less than five stars says more about the reviewer than the establishment. I just don't understand some people....

On a Saturday morning I showed up and they were offering a buffet. I have to say I was a little disappointed at first. But the food was so good. The food was fresh and unique. Not a basic buffet at all. So many amazing pastries, wish I could try them all. Literally the best breakfast buffet I've ever had. Staff was friendly too.

Extemely pricey...I can cook better at home. The fat cat ate all the good stuff.

You MUST have the juevos ranchero! The best I have ever had, and I have had a lot of them.

Best weekend brunch anywhere. Food is to good to describe, from homemade breakfast sausage to 10 or more different pies and cakes and I cant even begin to describe the bacon, I didn't think it was even possible to improve bacon but they do it here!. This buffet would cost more than 30dollars anywhere else. The selection is awesome yet comforting. The owner adds a special touch by visiting with customers to explain her food and cooking technique. Food is served on paper plates and cups but you just throw them away and get another when your done. Hardly anything to complain about yet some people do. Our whole group enjoyed this restaurant. Do not miss this place if your in town.

Great food and host. Wait was a bit for brunch, but in the expected range. The place has a charming funky character.

Delicious. Pastries as well as savory items like quiche and breakfast burritos. Friendly, helpful people. Constant warm ups on coffee. Well spaced tables and safe during COVID. Overheard staff tell folks waiting for a table that they could wait in their car and he would come get them when their table was ready. Come for the food, but stay and enjoy your meal because you feel welcome.

Amazing food and an amazingly friendly cook/owner lol

It was OK unfortunetly this is not a restaurant that I will remember for the rest of my life. The food was OK but nothing to remember. I had the chicken Philly which as I said was good but not stellar. The service was OK but again not great. Overall it was OK. Overalorestaurant is very

BEST breakfast in town. Wonderful staff. Fresh handmade baked bread, pastries, biscuts. Coffee is always fresh.

Breakfast and service was good. More traditional breakfast than the 'Bakery' down the street, but I'd pick the 'Bakery' based on the meals/coffee we had at each.

Very nice staff! Although he menu was pretty small.

This is the best breakfast buffet in the history of all breakfast buffets.....EVER. If you are near Grand Lake, this cute place is a must!!! Everything is homemade, from scratch. The scones are to die for!!!! Do not miss this place. I live in Dallas, Tx and am in Grand Lake a few times a year and I eat at Fat Cat multiple times while I am in town. The breakfast buffet is on Saturday and Sunday only.

Worth the wait!!! Everything was delicious. Biggest selection of desserts ever! All self serve with friendly staff.

This place appears to be closed and out of business. It has a for rent sign on it

This is our breakfast place when visiting Grand Lake. The food is beyond delicious and plentiful. Sally Gary and Ashley are the friendliest people. Try it once and you'll be back again and again!

Sept 2020- we had a great experience at Fat Cat. Food was tasty and the owners were super friendly. We had the traditional breakfast and biscuit w gravy. Highly recommend. The owners were also nice enough to offer suggestions on where to visit in the area. Please support local businesses including Curtis and Ashley at Fat Cat. You won't be disappointed.

I enjoyed the environment and the food. I had the burger with chiles I believe. Funny cat theme inside. Waitress was nice. Food took a bit of time, but it was busy. Biggest negative is that it was over $30 for 2 drinks and burgers. Still worth trying out.

Amazing brunch all homemade from scratch. Often have to wait as the place is more popular than it's built for. However, the food is worth the wait. I can't eat nearly as much as I would like to -- there is a lot to choose from.

Great American style breakfast! Nice view of the lake.

I was around the Rocky Mountains for a week to do some hikes and stumbled upon Fat Cat Cafe. Sally s food is absolutely amazing. My friend and I went three times in a row on a weekend for their buffet. It isn t just some regular buffet where the food is reheated and rubbery. Every single dish of hot plate and desserts was worth it. We even went back to ask if we can take some to go.

If you are in this area , I would suggest you to go to Fat Cat Cafe. Do NOT miss out on this!

Great breakfast buffet on the weekends and a really friendly staff.

Walked in at 11:10 am and they said they were closed !!! The break from 11:00 to 12:30 pm and then serve lunch ?? They should post this so people driving ftom other places know !!!

Good food friendly staff! I would give it a thumbs up!!

Excellent food, the wife had pancakes and I had the Traditional Breakfast..plus I got a side order of Corn Beef Hash, it was the best I ever had..you wont be disappointed

Drove 4,000 miles with this as my destination for Saturday brunch. Came back for sunday's brunch as well. Fifth and sixth times I have returned. None better.

Amazing Buffet! Great food and incredible desserts! Bring your appetite!

Found this place at random. Wow - I got lucky. It is just good cooking. I did the breakfast buffet and want to try the rest out when I get a chance.

Food tastes like grandma's cooking - delicious and hearty. There are also vegan and vegetarian options, if you prefer. The staff are very friendly too

They're breakfast was so delicious!! It's a small quaint place. Prices are about the same as most places in the area. Our server was very nice.

Very yummy. Good variety. Coffee was very good. Atmospere was nice and staff was friendly. Just a little pricey, which is typical for this town.

Amazing traditional English breakfast with the best pies. The breakfast buffet on sat/sun is to die for.

A good place for breakfast! The buffet was nice!
They had tons of pies there, I had the cherry almond pie, it was super good.
Place could have been a little cleaner but overall it was very nice. The staff were super cool and nice.
I like the cabin aesthetic to it. I would at least recommend trying it once!

Cute lil cafe & awesome brunch. We loved the decor & the Mom & daughter running the place. If this place is on your radar, go check it out!!

Amazing! Best breakfast and pastries in the county! Always a delight!

Such a great place! The price is beyond fair, it's only $17 for an all-you-can-eat buffet(including a dessert bar with a million pies and endless drinks!!) on the weekends! And on weekdays they have a menu breakfast that is also very fairly priced! The food is beyond amazing, the staff is fantastic! And they have many options for people with dietary restrictions!! The owners are so sweet, Sally loves to chat with people as often as she can. Their new location is very nice! It has a much bigger and brighter dinning area. Overall I am so happy they are open again and I hope everyone will visit the Fat Cat Cafe!!

We loved this place!!! Great food! Excellent service! Beautiful atmosphere!

Great buffet, huge selection of delicious pies, and super-pleasant staff!

Great food and exceptional service! A sweet family restaurant! Highly recommended!!!

live music! The people in this town is very friendly. It eill be a good place for a date.No gor all family

Awesome, excellent service and breakfast with a warm cabin atmosphere. Mixing comes ez among locals and visitors alike!

Really good food but I had to wait a long time for a seat for one.

Great weekend buffet. A must for American type breakfast treat.

Great breakfast buffet. Good assortment of options and lots of pies,on the buffet.

A super busy breakfast place, and good quality stuff. The portion sizes are significant, like most breakfast places. So be prepared for that.

Couldn t find a thing in the buffet that wasn t amazing. Also they labeled which foods had meat and got granular enough to specify some dishes contained pork, which I appreciated. Really goes to show that it doesn t take a huge, fancy chain to deliver great food and great customer service. The owner would come around to tables and check on folks in a timely manner, and was very sweet!

Absolutely best breakfast ever, great service. Definitely the place to eat.

OH MY - The quiche was delicious! This is probably the best breakfast in town, and the locals frequent it. Get there early b/c everyone loves it! I gave service a 2 only because it was a busy time and it took a while to get our check to us. The cat decor was kind of tacky but hell if that's going to stop me from indulging in the orgasmic food!

wonderful atmosphere. the food was delicious and the service excellent. i wish we wouldn't have been so full because the fresh baked goods smelled oh so good!
