Shommy’s

I ordered a salad and it tasted horrible! They only gave me the shitty part of the lettuce and refused to take it off my bill. I have never been treated so rudely at a restaurant in my life. My co-​workers and I will never return again.

Stopped in while traveling thru the area. Food was very good and service great. The owner was friendly and chatted with us for quite a bit. Offering smaller portions is a great concept for us older folks who would rather not have a big meal late in the evening.
Try the chicken fried steak… Yum.

Food: for a diner, the food was good. Everything was what you expected and there was no bad surprises.
Service: the waitress was amazing and funny. She was quick to respond when needed and generally a great person.

Been there a couple times for breakfast and lunch, It, s better than fast food. I’ll be back.

Came in late and was well cared for by the owner. She gave me a special rate on a half portion of their blackened chicken salad. Service and the food was excellent. Had a chance to chat with Shommy herself and found her to be very friendly and interesting. Would recommend travelers to stop in for a great meal.

Pretty good! Our family of four enjoyed the meal and the service. The Ms Pacman arcade game kept all entertained while we waited for our dinner. The restaurant also has a full bar which was nice to enjoy a drink after a long day on the road. We were pleasantly surprised!

I enjoyed every meal. Enjoyed chatting with the owner he enjoys his work you can tell.
I liked all the food. By bad i did not see they put Swiss cheese on the patty melt. I’m not a fan. the knife scrapped it off cleanly :) I had 4 Meals there more beer. they have a a very nice SELECTION of beers to choose from bottles and tap.
I agree with the other person. No idea why the negative review.
Face it, you walk into those places along a highway a lone exit with a shell sign 60 feet in the air. thinking I will regret this choose wisely Luke.
I was excited to see other meals on the table and all my reservations were relieved.
They are doing a great job. Sausage and biscuits 11:00 at night delicious and no oil floating in the gravy. the dishwasher probably put my plate back on the rack.

We discovered Shommy’s by recommendation of a sign on I-​70 when we needed to stop, eat, and let our child stretch his legs. We were completely amazed by this place. Good, quality, family diner style food. Fresh blueberries on the pancakes, good meat on the sandwich, hand cut fries. Not gourmet, but simple foods cooked well and with good ingredients. The service was friendly, and the bathrooms were very clean. We are making note of this place for future road trips. It is a great break from travels along I-​70.

I can’t imagine why one person gave this restaurant such a poor review! We had trouble finding it, but the waitress (who I suspect may have been the owner) was very welcoming and friendly. She wanted to know if we didn’t like what we ordered, as she would get us something else, but we found the pork tenderloin with mushrooms excellent. She joined in the sports rivalry that developed between another customer and myself, as a college bowl game was on the TV. My husband and I had no complaints. We shared a meal and had leftovers to take to our hotel besides!

Shommy’s is probably the most classic example of what not to do in running a restaurant. Parachute, CO has 3 eateries worth stopping at, and 2 of them are fast food… there’s no competition! You couldn’t buy a seat in this place when they opened, now it’s surprising to see any tables filled. All these guys had to do was provide slightly effective service and consistently mediocre food… they fail on both counts. Even with the generally empty house, I still here reports about how bad the service and food are.

What an awesome place… great food, great people, and awesome customer service. A great place to have dinner and a beer with friends.
