This place is absolutely beautiful. The staff is incredible and helped us pull off a surprise engagement at sunset. Everyone was responsive and so accommodating. They even provided us with free champagne to celebrate. Did I mention this place is absolutely stunning? Literally the view is take your breath away, good. The food was very delicious as well, with everything being made in house. Some of the best tater sauce I have ever had, no joke. We could not be any happier! My husband and I live just down the street and we will be coming back very soon. Thank you Footprints at Fossil Trace!

This place was fantastic! Our server was so nice! Red hair- not sure his name. Super great server! The view was so lovely. We sat on the patio in the shade. We had brunch and got the chicken and waffles and breakfast burrito. Both were super tasty! Loved it here!

I was in the mountains near Golden, doing some photographs. Then I decided to get some brunch. This place looked good on Google.

After a round of golf, we needed some food. Being right before closing, they kindly cooked us up burgers. All of us liked them. My burger with mushrooms was great, but a section of it was way undercooked. Being that I like medium-rare, I didn’t need to bring it up. People liking medium would have had an issue with it for sure. The other 2 burgers were cooked correctly, though. Honestly, everything tasted great and the server was so kind to serve as late as he did. I would still go back here and look forward to the food.

The view from the patio of this place is spectacular! Service was great and food was delicious – the BBQ Bacon burger was finger lickin’ good! The only downside is you can hear the golf cart wash just below the deck. But, the food and view make it worth overlooking!

First time dining here on the weekend for brunch. I liked the ambiance – quiet, relaxed, and lofty ceilings. The service was very attentive but a bit on the slow side between ordering the meals and getting our food. We enjoyed the spring salad with chicken, the chicken bacon sandwich with sweet potato fries and the regular breakfast. We enjoyed the cheesy hash browns casserole a lot and the sausage. We wanted to try the bread pudding French toast and the other sweet offerings but it will have to return another time. Thank you.

Food: We enjoyed the Chop Cheese sandwich and the Portobello burger. Get the hand-cut fries for your side. Be aware that the sweet potato fries are waffle-cut, so if that matters to you, there ya go. The beer pretzel and cheese was tasty.

Delicious, casual food…with a view! We love coming here for both breakfast and lunch as my husband plays Fossil Trace all the time (and we live about three minutes away :). The chicken sandwich is so fresh and our favorite thing on the menu. Great salads, as well as a full bar. They do a great Mother’s Day brunch as well!
