This Family Restaurant In Colorado Is Worth A Trip To The Country

Colorado has made a name for itself when it comes to our dining scene. Upscale restaurants in the city can be nice, but do you want to know where you can get the best food? At a small-town, no-frills café! While these eateries may not seem like much on the outside, they are indeed something special, like this nostalgic family-style restaurant, Frontier Diner in Cheraw, CO, that is definitely worth a trip to the country.

Welcome to Cheraw, a tiny Eastern Plains town with around 250 residents and a few hidden gems up its sleeve. Like Frontier Diner!

The town and region is known for its juicy, mouthwatering cantaloupes in season. Visitors and residents alike are treated to literally thousands of acres where this succulent fruit is grown - and the sweet aroma come harvest is divine!

But this homestyle diner in the heart of town is equally sweet. Serving the Valley for 20+ years, this welcoming eatery offers nostalgic country ambiance and friendly staff that will make you feel right at home.

While the atmosphere is reason enough to visit, the Frontier Diner menu is packed with home-cooked food that steals the show, beginning with breakfast favorites like biscuits and gravy, buttermilk pancakes, cinnamon rolls, and burritos.

After breakfast, it is time to turn the page to the lunch menu, which boasts everything from apps to burgers and sandwiches, baskets, soups, and salads.

What will it be: Chicken fried steak? A patty melt? How about a shrimp basket? A bowl of homemade soup? The Frontier Diner menu is packed with all the above and much more!

Save room for one of the Diner's homemade desserts - you can thank us later.

And maybe grab a unique roasted coffee blend to enjoy at home.
