Ray’s Corner Cafe

Ray’s Corner Café in Montrose was such a fun and unexpected find. While on a ski trip to Telluride, I ended up riding the chairlift with a really nice guy named Ray—who it turns out owns Ray’s Corner Café. So when we were passing through Montrose on our way to the airport and had a little time to spare, we made a point to stop in and check it out. Ray wasn’t there that day, but the staff was fantastic. Everyone was friendly, the atmosphere was very cool and relaxed, and you could tell it’s a place locals love—there were a few regulars hanging out at the bar enjoying cocktails and good conversation. The food was delicious. We grabbed a Fried Green Tomato BLT to take on the plane (they even wrapped it up in foil for us), and it was perfect. We also shared some beer-battered fries, which we

A great place for breakfast. I travel a lot for work and I’m always looking for good restaurants to dine in. Ray’s was a great choice. The Biscuit and Gravy was over the top. The biscuit are big, handmade, a crispy outside, and slight chewiness inside. Topped with a jalapeño sausage gravy that brings a mild heat. I’ll definitely dine here again on my next road trip.

The reviews did not even come close to our experience. Super disappointing for such a highly rated and recommended place. Before getting to the bad of our visit I must say the atmosphere is PHENOMENAL. What a cool little cafe environment where it seems like everyone knows everyone. It was all bad from the moment we were seated. The 5 people behind us in the line actually received their meals before our orders were even taken. While waiting for our food we noticed stuck on food debris inside my wife’s water cup which dislodged into the water of course. We did not get offered any refills until the very end and we were there at the end of the rush. Our waitress was more interested in hanging out at the bar and talking to employees / regulars than serving us. The food came and we were finally

A surprise to find for their prices. We had the short rib and the meatloaf dinners both came with mash potatoes, baby carrots and asparagus. What makes this a standout is the quality of the food and their seasonings.

We got the burger, the chicken sandwich and French toast. The meat in the burger was super fresh. But the real star was the French toast. The sausage and country potatoes were top notch and the French toast was delicious.
