Opening in 2014, Stateline
brought to Dove Creek, Colorado a much needed bar scene and restaurant. However, owners, Tim and Shelly Meyer felt
there was something missing. It was
something that, they did not have, nor did any other restaurant; and that was
brunch. Oh sure, breakfast was offered
Monday through Friday, maybe on Saturday, definitely not on Sunday; but it was
over by 11am. Now between you and me,
who does not enjoy a nice brunch on a Sunday, or even breakfast for lunch in
general?
Stateline Bar and Grill
still uses local sources for their food supplies, so adding breakfast items to
the shopping list was easy. Baked goods
such as buttery croissants and bread for French toast; bacon, thick ham,
sausage for patties. Blueberry syrup for
thick waffles, or mild sausage gravy over biscuits and country fried steak are
house made. So are the waffles and
French toast, and the maple syrup is real!
We dined on the Breakfast
Croissant Sandwich, and the Country Fried Steak. The croissant is extra-large, flaky and
butter infused; choosing scrambled for the eggs was a great choice. The eggs were fluffy and needed no seasonings
or condiments to compliment them. The
bacon was crispy and melt in the mouth delicious; cheddar cheese connected all
the ingredients of this sandwich perfectly.
A fruit cup featuring pineapple, cantaloupe and honey dew melon was the
accompanying side.
The Country Fried Steak is
a large, crispy coated, tender steak draped with mild sausage gravy. Hash browns and toast of choice are
sides. Being used to black pepper gravy,
the sausage gravy was an unexpected, yet taste bud pleasing change. The crispiness of the coating gave a nice
crunch to the chewing experience.
Luckily, another couple
nearby, had ordered different dishes, so we were able to see what they
entailed. The Stateline features two
eggs, bacon strips or sausage patties and hash browns. The gentleman who ordered this, and the rest
of us dining, were shocked to see how large and fluffy a serving of two scrambled
eggs he received. If they tasted
anything like the ones in my croissant sandwich, he would be eating every
bite. The sausage patties were large and
nicely grilled.
Now his wife ordered the
Waffle, and it was a classic Belgium style waffle that overflowed off the
plate.
Well now, they must have been really hungry, as the Avocado Toast special was also ordered, and it sure did look good!
Along with breakfast, we
had coffee and water for our beverages.
Lovers of strong coffee will definitely enjoy Stateline’s. It comes in a large, pastel colored mug; one
sip and you will think you are a hobbit, as the hair will be growing out of
your toes.
Stateline Bar and Grill’s
Brunch will be a boon to this restaurant, especially with the influx of
travelers along Highway 491. Locals, of
course, will have a new choice for lunch on Saturday and Sunday…breakfast! Mary Cokenour
