Kind Words From Our Amazing Guests

Our guests say it best. From longtime regulars to first-time visitors, folks can’t stop talking about the cinnamon rolls, the fried chicken, and the welcoming vibe that makes Vern’s feel like home.
“I got the chicken fried steak dinner and it was amazing. The quality and quantity of the food you get for the price you pay is wonderful.
My buddy had the Mountain Man burger which was cooked exactly as he requested. The quality is fantastic.
I very much look forward to going back and having breakfast!”

“Vern’s Place is a very quaint and peaceful place to eat some delicious homemade food. Everything tastes like it’s right from mom’s kitchen. Best burger I’ve had in a very long time. Large beef patties, green leaf lettuce, and REAL pickles! Big ones!  The fries and onion rings are spot on. The ranch dressing was a little thin, but still tasty. The waitresses are very sweet and genuine. It was the perfect place to take in the view after a drive in the mountains.”

“There’s a reason this place has been open since 1950, and it’s because they have consistently had unpretentious good food. the cinnamon rolls have always been worth it, and we’ve been coming here since it was actually 287 here. and we will continue. even if you live in Fort collins, it’s worth the drive out to Laporte!”
