Little Annies
Mar 22, 2009 by Rodger from Ft.Collins,Co
Overall Rating: 2
Food:[7] • Atmosphere:[4]

• Waitress was very friendly.
• Only 1 other couple in restaurant. Sat right next to them!

“My wife and I stopped in at noon on a Sunday. The hostess was totally indifferent and appeared as if we had interrupted what ever she had going on. She just walked to a table without us, no right this way, will this table do, how is your day, etc. The waitress was polite, friendly and the best part of our dining experience. My wife ordered a turkey melt, the turkey was dried out, the coleslaw was old. I ordered potato pancakes. Came out overdone and tasteless. Obviously must have used commercial, precut, frozen, potatoes. We could have done better at McDonald's.”

Bentley's at the Wheeler Opera House

Overall Rating: 3
Service:[1] • Atmosphere:[6]

• The atomosphere, the food looked good (we never had a chance to taste it).
• The service, the management, the staff, the lack of organization and competence to run the restaurant.

“I went to Bentley's with two of my friends, over the X games week back in January. When we first walked in, we were a little confuse about the seating situation, since there were no hosts or hostesses to seat us. I also did not see a sign to direct us to either, seat ourselves or wait for the hostess to seat us. Finally someone told us that it was self-seating, so we found our own table. (I believe that person who told us was another customer and not someone who worked for the restaurant). A busboy approached us, and dumped a pile of napkins and silverware in the middle of the table. Around the same time, our waitress comes over, looks at the pile of napkins and says in an annoyed tone, that's too many napkins. The busboy leaves, without making our table. We picked up the pile of silverware and napkins in the middle of the table and proceed to do the job ourselves. Then we place our order. The meal is taking a very long time, and we happen to notice that other customers sitting around us, who arrived a while after us are getting their meals before us. And not just not soups and salads and easy-to-prepare food, but some of the exact same meals that we had ordered. My friend tells the waitress, that we have been waiting a long while, and that the other customers who arrived after us received their meals before us. The waitress yells at her, informs her that it's not her fault that the food is taking awhile, but the fault of the cooks in the kitchen, and then leaves. About a minute or two later, the manager approaches our table, livid, and yells at us, telling us that it's not the waitress fault but the fault of the 75,000 people at the restaurant, and that it's a busy weekend and that's why we do not have our food. After he finishes yelling at us he promptly walks away, leaving us in shock. We ended up canceling our meal and leaving the restaurant. I don't know about the quality of the food at Bentley's because I never had the chance to taste it, but I do know that the service is terrible, the people who work there are rude, and that the staff and management are incompetent at customer service and managing. It may have been a busy week, but somehow every other bar and restaurant we went to that week were able to accommodate, and fairly treat their customers.”

Poppycocks Of Aspen

• Loved the oatmeal pancakes.
• None!

“I spent a few weeks in Aspen over the summer, but didn't discover Poppycocks until my last week there. I was blown away by their unique oatmeal pancakes, and ate breakfast there every day for the rest of my time there. We brought home some of their packaged pancake mix, and although it isn't nearly as good as when they make it, my whole family loves it! We're making another order today, and will certainly make this spot one of our regular stops on future trips to the area. Outstanding!”

• Food.
• Tight quarters between tables.

“I had a grilled turkey sandwich on sour dough bread with avocado, cheese, lettuce and tomatoes with a side salad of mixed greens. My friends had breakfast items and they were pleased as well.”

Poppycocks Of Aspen

Overall Rating: 10

• The Oatmeal pancakes are AMAZING.
• There wasn't enough purchasable mix for me to take home a box to my family!

“Poppycock's is an absolutely amazing diner atmosphere restaurant but here you will find no diner food. poppycock's is the perfect way to start off you're day in Aspen. With their absolutely (my personal favorite) delicious oatmeal pancakes you could never go wrong. I would recommend this to anybody who has the chance to stop by and give it a try.”
