Copper Kitchen

The last time I was in La Junta I googled restaurants in the area and this place popped up with a few others for world-famous green chili. I don't know what the backstory is on that in terms of who conducted the awards and how many restaurants were involved. I would consider this green chili to be above average though and medium to hot in terms of spiciness, but it didn't make me crave it to the point where I was like "I have to have this again". The hash browns, gravy, and french toast were all very generic and are not worth getting. The pancake wasn't bad (a little dry) but I have also had way better pancakes than the ones this place makes. The most unique item I had was the biscuit. It tasted excellent, was very soft, and judging by the appearance of it would guess the kitchen makes them from scratch. I have not had biscuits quite like these ones and would recommend anybody stopping by try them out. I would also request it by itself and not be smothered in gravy.

Great place to stop and grab some comfort food. Everyone was extremely friendly and attentive. The food was good and came out quickly. Just hit the spot!

I didn't think a little old fashioned diner like this still existed. It was awesome. Older man working took time to visit and the staff was so friendly. Good food too! Here again! A year later same throw back in time. Cash register still has push button keys. Waitresses take orders on paper pads. Love this quaint piece of American history.
