This is a small diner that is family run. It’s not big and very cozy. We were seated right away and the server asked for our drink orders immediately. She brought them right away. I had the Mass Confusion and my lady a burrito with green chili and tater tots. My meal was awesome; biscuits, hash browns, sausage, and eggs smothered in sausage gravy. Everything on it was amazing, especially the biscuits. There was a ton of food and I could barely finish it. My lady’s burrito was standard egg, cheese, and sausage smothered in homemade green chili. The chili was perfect for dunking the tater tots in. Overall this place is excellent if you don’t mind a tight squeeze. Our whole breakfast cost $ 16.50 which I thought was good since we were both stuffed. I recommend coming here!

Hidden gem. Great food, friendly service, wish more places were like JC’s. Anytime I am near Golden/Denver West I will stop hear for breakfast.

Great food and big portions! Our server was very sweet and attentive I ordered the mass confusion which was filling and delicious. The boyfriend ordered the mountain man omlete which he loved and finished regrettably later but enjoyed in the moment. I got the vibe that everyone was a bunch of locals and I was the new kid in town but that’s okay because I will now become a local. The wait on a Saturday morning at 10 was non existent which I was surprised about because it is a small place with great reviews. We will be back !

Quick, friendly service with a basic but delicious menu. The atmosphere is very family-friendly, maybe even a little bit strange with all the paintings of prayer candles on the wall for those who have passed, but still a quaint little spot. Prices are VERY reasonable for the amount of food you get.

Great eclectic environment. Come in and sign the wall Food is good and servers friendly. The owners are friendly and welcoming. Lots of food for a reasonable price. Service quick. Try the mass confusion. Lots of food. If you leave hungry it’s your fault. The nay Sayers rating this restaurant were not into the culture of this establishment

Great local diner. I was in town visiting a friend and was looking for a good little breakfast place. I found J. C’s through Unilocal and gave them a try. The staff was nice, the service was prompt, and the food was fantastic. I ordered the chicken fried steak and eggs, it was up there as one of the best I have had. The gravy was almost perfect, it didn’t taste canned. After you order, the short wait until your food arrives can be spent reading the walls which have been painted by local diners over the years. If you are in Golden give this place a try. If you live in Golden or the surrounding area, feel lucky you have a place this good nearby.

Get ready for a Mountain Man or woman Breakfast. It is hidden away on Old Golden Road. You have to try once in your life. And you never know, you may be back for more.

Overcrowded with bland undercooked and uninspired fare. While I’m a fan of old school breakfast joints, J.C.s doesn’t make the cut. The service was ok but the food was marginal at best and the coffee lacked flavor.

Friendly staff, quick service. Cheerful décor. Good prices. The food was«ok». Stick to simple breakfast choices. We enjoyed the french toast but the green chile was definitely lacking in flavor, it also came out cold and the coffee was weak. I will give it another try because I really want to like this place more. It’s nice to have a local Mom n Pop breakfast place to hit up during the week. Note: I bet this place gets packed on the weekend considering they stay fairly busy on week days.

On our way to Heritage Square we wanted to hit up a hole for breakfast … mistake of the century, man. THEYAYS 1. Definitely a hole, 1 star for that 2. Breakfast of hangover champions, 1 star 3. The food was better than Denny’s(goes with #2’s star). THENAYS 1. Arrival Time: 10:00 am Food Arrival Time: 10:42 am 2. Service: 1 out of 5 stars 3. The(very annoyed) Chef was NOT wearing gloves. If I wasn’t accompanied by a 4 and 7 year old who were both outwardly expressing their hunger pains due to waiting over 40 minutes for our meals, I would have walked when I saw this about 90 seconds before our food arrived. 4. When you walk in, you’re not sure what the hell to do. There’s no signage(i.e. please seat yourself/please wait to be seated) and no one spoke to us. We had to flag down a waitress and even after that, our seating situation was totally awkward. It was the day before a holiday, July 3, and maybe they were understaffed because someone underestimated the traffic but for the size of the place, the staff quantity seemed sufficient. The insufficient support of a Manager or Management team is where they seemingly failed. There was a constant wait at the register as well, either people needing a table or needing to cash out. A table of police officers stood there for over 12 minutes trying to pay their bill. I would not return to this Café, nor would I recommend it.

There are lots of current reviews that rate this at least a 4 star, and if you are reading this review defiantly give it a try. I will be coming back to this restaurant again. Service: The service was quite good, our waiter was nice and friendly and check on us a appropriate number of times. The other person I was with ordered a half burrito but got a full size, it was okay because we got it for the price of half a burrito. They also took my late request for hot chocolate. The main con was they ran out of Spinach and I had ordered an omelet that included it, this was a bit disappointing. Food: The burrito was delicious and very well done. Each breakfast said they came with a side of toast but we both did not get any which was also a downside. My omelet was good, but a little bit too cheeses the hash browns were delicious though. Overall would love to come back when they have spinach and see if they give me toast next time. I would recommend and will update this review when I come back. :)

Had breakfast at J. C’s my last morning in Golden. It is a divey little place with good coffee and decent food. I had french toast and my travel buddy had pancakes and hash browns. The meal was good, the coffee was good enough and the waitress was great! I very much enjoyed my breakfast here.

This place reminds me of something I’d find in the South where I’m from. You walk in, it’s unassuming, there are good olé folks sittin around slamming their food in their faces, and the servers are very easy breezy, «what do you want, hon?». Food came out in 5 minutes flat, maybe even less, steaming hot and well-seasoned. I got the«mass confusion», which is hash browns, eggs, biscuits and gravy, and your choice of meat piled together. It was very tasty, and I got a gigantic plate full for 6.95. I will be back, little café.

J. C’s Café emits the most homey yet retro vibe at the same time. Homey because the place is so small and intimate(and most people who go here are regulars and they greet the owners by name). Retro because all the walls are covered with paintings and writings from customers who’ve visited the place. It was a collection of murals to honors those who passed, the joyful moments in life like weddings, and just inspirational memos everywhere. I loved the positivity of it. I ordered the Mountain Women Omelette because I was craving some bacon and i’m a sucker for hash browns as well. The service was super speedy and I got my food in no time. It was MASSIVE! I definitely could not finish it. The hash browns were delicious drenched in ketchup. I liked that they offered different varieties of bread and I opted for whole wheat. However, they added butter without asking which I thought was a little contradictory to me trying to be health(er). Oh well… it was tasty, can’t complain. The omelette itself was ginormous, filled with goodies like vegetables, 4 eggs, and bacon. I was definitely satisfied by the end of my brunch experience. The price here is very reasonable as well. For two dishes, our total came out to only be around 15 dollars. Definitely give this place a try if you’re craving some home cooked breakfast in a friendly location.

Having recently moved to Golden, I’ve driven by the sign they have out front for the best food in town about a half dozen times before actually stopping in one day for brunch. It was everything it’s little sign said and more! Although not very big this little place packs a whole bunch of personality. I personally love the community dive-y vibe. It is not very big so I can imagine you can prepare to wait on a busy morning but stick around because it will be worth it. While you are waiting there’s plenty of odds and ends from the floor to ceiling to keep your eyeballs entertained. The menu is pretty big and has something to offer everyone. I am a huge country fried steak fanatic and had to order that. It was amazing and left me licking my plate with no regrets about the 1000+ calories I easily inhaled. The best part is you can upgrade your side order of toast to pancakes or french toast for less than $ 2…wowza! My partner in dine ordered their signature dish, Mass Confusion. Imagine everything you want in a diner breakfast piled on top of biscuits and smothered in gravy. Oh yeah, it was that good. We can’t wait to go back again. Everything is reasonably priced and we filled out stomachs without emptying our wallets. The two of us left stuffed with a left over box for under $ 15. Next time you want to get down to business and skip the frills, head to JC’s and induce your next food coma.
