Mountain Shadows

Today Pat took me to lunch (or maybe I should say brunch, since it was luxuriously late) at Mountain Shadows restaurant, one of our favorite places to chow down. Behind the unassuming facade of this century old house lie gustatory delights enough to satisfy the appetite of the hungriest bears! It's the kind of place where the waitress calls you "hon". We've been regulars for years. Of course Mountain Shadows has great lunch fare such as sandwiches, burgers and fries, and lately they're open for dinner on the weekends (buffalo steaks, anyone?), but breakfast food is where they really shine. No sissy crepes here my friends -- this is real stick-to-your-ribs kind of grub. Yum! Today I had what I almost always order, a corned beef hash omelet. So delicious! They also make the most amazing pancakes the size of a steering wheel. If you live anywhere near Colorado Springs, you should definitely visit this little restaurant on the west side, it's the best.
