The Castle Cafe

This month Donna and I went to an old favorite in the heart of Castle Rock.

Castle Café

403 Wilcox

Castle rock, Co.80104

303-814-2233

Menu’s are on the web site.

We have been going to the Café for years and the first thing you should know about this place is the consistent good quality of the food and service.

The prices are very reasonable, so you can take the family and not break the bank. When you enter and go up to the glass desk you will be met buy a friendly hostess, and if you’re really lucky you will be standing in front of a short beautiful lady with a big smile and a heart match, we know her for years, Her name is Susie.. If your going on a Friday or Saturday evening you may have to wait for a table at the bar, and if your very lucky you will meet Laura Odom one of the bartenders, or as I like to call them, mixologists. Laura is an attentive, quick, talkative, friendly bartender..

   When you sit down a server will be at your table quickly, and will let you know the specials for the day. The last time we were there, Donna had the “ROCK BURGER” with fries, this is sure to please and fill you up. I started with a bowl of Waylon’s Green Chili, not to spicy that you can’t enjoy, or make it “HOT” if you like it that way. Now Donna and I have had almost every thing on the menu in the past, However if your looking for a great Pan-Fried Chicken Dinner, LOOK NO FURTHER, choices are all white meat or all dark meat, this dinner comes with mashed potatoes, crackling gravy, homemade rolls and a choice of soup, salad or slaw. YOU BETTER BE HUNGRY!!! NOW YOU SHOULD KNOW IT TAKES 30 MINUETS TO COOK. It’s worth the wait, and besides your server will have Laura make you another cocktail, you don’t want to hurry in this establishment, you may miss something like the rich history of the Café. You can Checkout the pictures on the walls, showing off old Castle Rock. Read the back of the menu and you will see why, you don’t want to rush,

Just sitting at the bar, one could envision a stagecoach pulling up, and the

Stage riders looking for dinner and a room.

(Watch for the occasional drunk cowboy trying to ride his horse in the bar.) (If) you have room for dessert try the Apple pie and put vanilla ice cream on top.

The owners and mangers are always around and will ask if everything is OK. I have a good source that tells me, one of the owners makes a mean OLD FASHION, give it a try.

 If you’re the type of person that does not like to wait for a table, go after the dinner rush, around 7:30pm. Donna and I have a great time every time we go here the food is always good the people are friendly, atmosphere is warm and inviting. We always meet new people that turn into old friends at the Café. This is a taste of Castle Rock that should not be passed up.

Well that’s it for this month. Until next time

Live and Eat Well

Steve
