“Iconic. Amazing. Beautiful. These are from the reviews of others, and I'd echo these terms and many more, with regard to this incredible wonder. I've long wanted to drive to the top and we did so on a recent visit. It was early November on an uncharacteristically warm day with beautiful clear skies as we began our ascent, and the weather stayed perfect the whole time, getting colder as we ascended of course. The drive itself starts out very mildly in terms of grade, and frankly, excitement, but it definitely saves the best stuff for later. Once you get into the seriously twisty and steep bits, the trees start to part and reveal the spectacular views as you get higher and higher. Our rented Toyota 4 Runner was more than capable, and got us up and down with aplomb. We were initially excited as we reached the summit, until we got out of the car and headed to the visitor center. It was at that point that my wife and I both realized we had a bit of altitude sickness, in the form of dizziness, light headedness and she even had a smidge of nausea. We were surprised and how, well, almost terrible we felt. We grabbed a couple of quick pics and began our descent, and we began to feel better soon thereafter. So, be prepared for the possibility. As we came back down, we stayed in first gear on the 4 Runner much of the way, and at the mandatory brake check, the checker commented that our brakes were under 100 degrees and that we were doing a great job. The view was even better on the way down. If you're ever in this area, this is a must-do and must-see. It is everything that everyone says, totally awesome.”

“Huge YES to everything about this place. First time trying it with a friend yesterday after a snowy hike. Can’t wait to come back with my family. I heard the bloody mary’s were the best around & holy cow they did not disappoint!! But even better than that was the AMAZING service. I’ve never seen such a cheerful, happy & kind staff. It was like going to visit friends who hadn’t seen you in a long time & they were so excited to have you there! ? The food was absolutely delicious too!”

“Alyssa was our server and she was awesome! She gave wonderful recommendations for wine and food. The food was delicious and the wine list is massive. We'll definitely be back!”

“Wife and I stopped in after spending the afternoon in Cripple Creek, we walked in and they told us to sit wherever we like. We were quickly greeted and got some drink orders in. The drinks were amazing and the food was fast and so delicious. The waiter checked on us very frequently and made sure we were taken care of and that everything was good. Highly recommend!!”

“I purchased a rack of Ribs and two of the twinkies . I have say out of all the Bbq places I’ve ate across the United States. Otis’s is one of the best I’ve ever tasted! I will be a regular customer!”

“Was a simple and new place. Cashier/owner was fantastic and service was 100/10 truly a great experience. The food was on point and tasted fantastic. I’m from upstate NY, but it’s worth the visit anytime I come down south from now on. Really was a awesome service and authentic food.”

“I’ve been here a couple times. Each time was amazing. They decorate your sushi plate beautifully. The staff and chefs are prompt and professional. Top sushi place in town!”

“Great food, better people. If you like authentic Mexican food, this is the best choice in Manitou. If you like Tex-mex, this is still the best choice in Manitou! Try the horchata!”

“I loved going here, I like the different unique coffee options and flavors and how the inside looks! Definitely a unique cafe. You can also buy some paintings displayed on the walls which I love!”

“Well, these have to be the BEST GF/Vegan donuts I have ever had. (Not joking). You won't be able to tell the difference if you've never a GF donut.The baking process and flour blend is unbelievable. And the frosting on top makes the donut all that much better.The coffee is great and so are the cinnamon rolls!Give it a try and you won't be disappointed.”

“New to the area and this place was inviting and the beers were good too! Steven the owner was gracious enough to give me a tour of their brewing area too! It was a bit of a drive up from my new place in canon city, but wackadoo will be my go-to for weekends!”

“The service was amazing, staff is beyond friendly. But the food caught me by surprise. I was expecting good food with how many people said it was delicious, but I wasn’t expecting AMAZING food. This was by far the best food I had all weekend visiting Colorado Springs from MN! Guaranteed I’m going back next trip! See y’all in a few months!”

“Great atmosphere as well as the service. Good drinks and delicious food. The Korean FF were very good topped with bulgogi meat. The Big Island poke was ok just a bit on the bland side. Needs a little more kick to it. Overall great place for Asian dishes. Be prepared to be circling around for parking.”

“We go here probably 3-4 times a year. We always get exceptional service and wonderful food. Carlos and all the staff are warm and welcoming and attentive. Do not listen to the one star reviews. People will complain about everything and anything. This place is the best!”

“Superb ice cream, sundaes, coffee, sandwiches, baked treats, nice people, cozy atmosphere. You'd have to be a pretty curmudgeonly weirdo to take umbrage with anything here. It's an all-in-one happiness emporium.”

“Loved the food! The Motherload Mac and cheese was delicious! The young men working there were so polite and worked hard to ensure a great meal for my family and I!! Would recommend to anyone who likes food that tastes like it's home cooked!!”

“Best fajitas I've ever had in a restaurant. I have the steak, shrimp , and chicken combination fajitas. I eat a lot of Mexican food and have been to at least 200+ Mexican restaurants. Also, very good salsa. Well done.”

“Having moved to this area early last year, I discovered this gem of a shop walking my dog down here on a Saturday morning. So many nice people coming in ...the staff has taught me a lot about coffee! I usually order their Costa Rica, their KENYA, Guatemala and their Quiche pastries.”

“Stopped in after a visit to Seven Falls. A nice neighborhood feel with an eclectic menu. Groovy fried chicken. Great beer selection. Cobbler is worth investigating also.”

“The lower bar was amazing. Great ambiance, delicious drinks and cheese board. Lily and Makayla were such a joy! We will be back to this gem every time we visit Manitou Springs. We cannot wait to try the fondue!”

“First of all, this is the best pizza in town. But the reason I'm writing a review is the service. I was driving home from work recently, and I was craving the best pizza in town. I live near the east location. For some reason the website wasn't taking orders. I tried calling the location several times, but the line wasn't going through. Thinking they might be closed, I called the West location to acquire about whether I was doing something wrong. The guy who picked up told me that both locations were open, but it was buy one get one day, and the pizzas were flying off the shelves and the phone lines were struggling. He told me to try ordering online, and I told him that the website had been deactivated. He told me that he did not realize that the east location was so swamped that orders were not able to go in anymore, and he kindly offered to take my order in the West location and deliver it to my house even though I was out of their zone. I told him I was fine waiting a while longer for that type of delivery, given how awesome it was that he was even offering that. When the pizza got to the house, I was surprised that the voice of the delivery guy was the same as the voice of the guy I had spoken with on the phone when I made the order. Turns out it was the same guy, who happened to be the manager! He couldn't find a driver, and came out himself to deliver the pies. Buy one get one, and the coolest dude ever making sure I got hooked up on the busiest day of the month. This was above and beyond, but it's so awesome to work with businesses that care this much nowadays”

“Fantastic sandwiches! Pastrami sandwich was a home run and the Doc Martin was an insanely delicious vegetarian sandwich option. I will be back... A lot!Vegetarian options: The only reason I marked somewhat instead of highly is because the vegetarian options were limited - but the Doc Martin was incredibly delightful.”

“Went on vacation to Colorado and this restaurant was the absolute best restaurant. They have the best fish and chips I have tasted. We have been to several different states and it just does not compare. On our last day we had breakfast and the breakfast burrito is a must!!!! Best restaurant ever!”

“Spectacular single origin coffee that is roasted in house to perfection! The owners and staff are extremely friendly and helpful. We had a wonderful experience!”
