What patsy rock dislikes about Café 163:
Every time I go to this unsettling restaurant, there seems to be a man hanging around who is constantly leeching off the young female servers. Is he the owner or the manager? He looks like he’s barely holding it together, almost like he’s been pieced together with discarded toothpicks. His hair has a distinctly Halloween horror vibe. He’s always chatting up the poor female staff while they’re setting the tables, and... View all feedback.

This restaurant is a good option if you fit the profile of someone used to a certain privilege. Don’t let the waitlist deter you; just take a seat at an unoccupied table, and the staff will prioritize you. While the food is consistently decent, it feels overpriced for what you receive. It’s unfortunate that there are only a few breakfast spots in the area, but at least those tend to offer better value for the price.
I went out for lunch with my daughter and we never received service. They told us to wait for 15 minutes, but after 30 minutes had passed, we still hadn't been approached or even given a warning. The food looked amazing, and it's a shame I won't get to try it! Is there some form of discrimination going on?
Stopped in for breakfast. Hubby loved the Nutella Pancakes. He wanted the biscuits and gravy, which says they are very good...they had no more biscuits! I had the 2 eggs, sausage patty, potatoes and Sourdough toast. Definitely worth the stop.
The service was terrible. Although the food was good, the service was simply unacceptable.

The atmosphere and vibe were fantastic, and the food was excellent—the breakfast burrito was outstanding! Madeline provided exceptional service at the bar. I would definitely recommend this place!
I waited half an hour to be seated, even though there were available tables! The staff member was rude, so I decided to leave instead.

He’s always chatting up the poor female staff while they’re setting the tables, and you can see them gripping their forks as if for self-defense. Quite unpleasant. The food is just average, and the Bloody Mary I had was watered down. As for parking, good luck with that...
Food was good but very expensive. Service terrible Service: Dine in Meal type: Breakfast Price per person: $20–30 Food: 4 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 4
I come here every saturday morning for a john daily always give out extra tips, I can now say thats all over, Food is good and all but service is horrible if you want an alcoholic beverage you gotta bring in a physical ID and look like an adult, I went in there on the morning of September 9th 2023 and was rejected service because I had the digital ID from the DMV app, and the owner complimented me by saying he looks like a twelve year old he didnt even let me explain that thats the only form of ID that i have but i was rudly inturrupted, If you want better service I recommend craftsman brew down a few blocks, or benders across the street from this place.
Went in and had an great experience. The food is always great here. I only give the service 4 stars because our service was a little disjointed, the server seemed to be new so I would cut them lots of slack. Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5

Annie, Erin, and the rest of the team were fantastic! The food was delicious—we ordered four dishes: the chilaquiles, corned beef hash, rancheros, and pancakes, and all of them were excellent choices. This is the best restaurant in Edwards, Colorado. I give it a glowing five stars!
Food was excellent, and the service was even better. A crazy guy came and acted like a complete idiot, the young lady helped him (I think her name was Annie) was professional and polite all the time and treated a bad situation, very good. And I managed to make my experience pleasant. Great job
Café 163 is definitely the best secret in this valley! The food is delicious. You have to try their pancakes! But the most important thing is that their staff is amazing! We love Annie. She definitely makes this place even better! I can't wait for you to come back. Big Bear Crew loves you!
Cafe 163 is the locals best kept secret! The food staff are always amazing I have never been disappointed. I take friends family here all the time to eat, everyone has nothing but great things to say when we leave! Every town should have a Cafe 163, we are pretty lucky to have such an amazing restaurant in the Vail Valley!
This is a fantastic spot for breakfast and brunch that feels like a favorite among the locals. I ordered the à la carte biscuits and gravy, which came in a generous portion. It was delicious, with a nice medium spicy kick at the end. My wife and daughter shared the chilaquiles, which they enjoyed. The prices are quite reasonable. Next time, we plan to try some of their sandwiches and pancakes.
