Juniper Valley Ranch

There's nothing better than sharing a phenomenal meal of pan fried chicken, riced potatoes, cream gravy, okra casserole, biscuits with apple butter in a wonderful setting! One of the best restaurants ever!

Wonderful experience. Good food and a great place to bring the entire family.

This is must for anyone who loves a good old fashioned home cooked meal. Service was excellent and super friendly. Served family style, perfect fried chicken and all the fixins' were delicious!

Amazing comfort food! Make reservations.

Homestyle cooking that is just like what you remember growing up. Tasted just like my mom's fried chicken. I have never liked okra, but the okra casserole was amazing

A truly unique experience. The chicken was very good.

We went as a group of nine and we had an absolutely wonderful time. The drive from the Springs along 115 is very senic. When we arrived it was crowded, but everyone found a place to park. We were seated in a room that had 2 round tables for 10. The menu is simple and the food served family style was excellent. Our server was very friendly and helpful. We will definitely be returning, especially when family is visiting. Don't forget to visit their gift shop.

This place is GREAT :) We had a great time, the food and service was excellent...

Food was really good, friendly staff. Was a little disappointed with dessert.

First time here and I will definitely be back. Wonderful atmosphere, fast and friendly service, and the best fried chicken I've ever had. All of the sides are great too and really taste like they came from grandma's kitchen. My mom had the coconut cream pie for dessert and loved every bite. Make sure you bring cash and an empty stomach.

Best fried chicken we've had in years. The home style serving is a fresh change. The food and even the gin is sourced locally. Great history behind the restaurant which adds to the charm.

The food is good. They're famous for their fried chicken. It is very good & it is endless. All of the sides are great. The cream gravy is every bit as good as mine -- and that's saying A LOT! The one that surprised me was the okra casserole. It was fantastic! The menu is the same as it has been since opening in the middle of the 20th century. There's a good reason for that. It works! The little cabin style building is quaint and comfy. The service is outstanding. They have everyone in the family working there & they have been well groomed to carry on the legacy of Juniper Valley Ranch. GO! Enjoy the drive. It isn't far. YOU WILL BE BACK! GUARANTEED.

I was there today, and well I gave a two star. The chicken is always great and the waitress did a great job. The two stars is because we noticed the treatment from the hostess, and this is not the first time. I have been going to Juniper since 2003, and my family loves it. The other thing is that we noticed that the new item in the menu which is the hot chicken was offered to others and not to us, we questioned why didn't they offered it to us. Though it will not stop me from going, but I do believe that my money has the same value as others. In any way am I using the R word, but I do see the treatment we have received every time we go. Sorry that I am speaking my mind, but that's how it is.

Good comfort food. Well prepared just like grandmas house. The fried chicken i had was delicious. The little biscuits were so tasty. The riced potatoes were a little bland by themselves but just add some gravy salt and pepper you're good to go. Not a fan of okra, but i did taste it and it was very tart. My daughter had the chicken fried steak which she said was really good. We had the cherry cider which was very nice. I had the bread pudding for desert which was really nice.

Juniper Valley was an amazing experience. It's ranch style cooking, no flair just done right. They make ham or chicken and the sides that go with them. They have mastered what they do and you won't be disappointed. Their apple butter and rolls are insanely addictive.

The staff was awesome. The food was extremely good. We had the chicken next time I'm going to have the ham I'm sure it is just as good as the chicken.all the side dishes including the okra casserole we're excellent. You will not go away hungry guaranteed. We are here on vacation again and this was our first visit but I'm sure future vacations will put us back at this quaint roadside restaurant.

Could hardly wait for them to open for the season. Best food and service, unique dining experience. Take an appetite! You will never be disappointed!

Family style at its absolute best. Never had biscuits and potatoes and gravy this good.

Wonderful little secret! Being from the south I’m very picky about fried chicken.. they serve wonderful fried chicken! Make reservations or you might not get in. I would only recommend maybe a light for the driveway. 115 is kinda scary in the dark.

Food was amazing and service was very friendly. We had a large group and they didn't really have a table setup that worked as well for that.

This place is great. Great people, great food and great atmosphere. We love this place.

The best friend chicken around! Very attentive wait staff and a great location. Highly recommended for family gatherings!

The fried chicken is nothing to speak about it was dry unseasoned and burnt. Save yourself from this experience KFC is so much better! We had simple questions for our server when we went and they were unable to answer them the place has been there for 40 years and I would have expected at least tasty food, especially for the price..overrated by locals.

Honestly, it was the best dinner I have ever had. The fried chicken was perfect! The okra casserole was delightfully full of flavor and the biscuits and Apple butter were unforgettable. Thank you for an awesome dinning experience!

Love this place. Best home cooking in town.

Fried chicken was dry. Cider appetizer was like a melted slushie. Service was good. Prices were good. Too far to go for the food.

One word, three syllables Delicious.

Not gourmet, but all-you-can-eat, solid comfort food, served family style. We took what we could gather of the family, a party of ten spanning three generations. Everyone enjoyed the food and the service. They have a unique selection of craft brews and wines. We like to sample craft beers at the local microbreweries. They had some we've not seen elsewhere. This is a great place for a family meal.

Amazing food. Great service, be sure to make reservations. Landmark of history ! Will return

One of the best things you can do in Colorado. Such a great experience and in my 40 years of going there it's never charged. The food is the same today as it was when I was a kid.... excellent!

Unfortunately, there were no signs, or indication, (like on the pie board) that reservations are REQUIRED, (not just a blurb on the internet-underemphasizing the fact by saying they are "strongly recommended"). We had a diabetic, who was hungry, and we'd heard good things about the food. Since it wa on our way home, we decided it would be a good place to get a bite for lunch. We didn't know that reservations are mandatory, not just recommended. Our experience after waiting 20 minutes, was to be turned away, with very little empathy, by the staff there. We probably will not return, and will, and already have, let others know how we were treated, while there. I'd give zero stars, but I haven't tasted the food.

Excellent family-style meals. Options are typically chicken or ham plus wonderful sides in a quaint little place.

Nice, local "destination" restaurant. Located in a historic adobe farmhouse. Family owned with limited menu, basically awesome pan- fried chicken and baked ham, but in a unique historic setting. Not ADA friendly, as it's on a working ranch. If you're familiar with Denver's White Fence Farm, similar vibe.

Great atmosphere, service, and delicious food. Glad we finally stopped to check it out. We'll definitely be back.

First time and we were very pleased. Great service, food atmosphere. Definitely worthy of further visits.

Delightful staff and comfort food at it's best. Make sure to visit the gift shop, pick up a few jars of Apple Butter. Enjoy.

This is the best chicken I've had since moving here from Missouri. The the okra casserole is absolutely delicious as well. I think you're getting what you pay for. My family will definitely be back for more!

Been in business for 60 years in an Old Ranch House. Entrees are fried chicken and Ham. Served family style with all the appropriate sides. A must-do.

Was looking forward to this place for years. Sorry the chicken was burnt and dry and prices were very high. Playing $6 for a piece of pie cant be justified. Soup was lousy. Was disappointed. Service was great yet the food was not what I expected. Mason Jar and crackerbarrel has better chicken

We love it we just had our anniversary dinner and as usual everything was fresh hot homemade and delicious. It takes me back to when i was a little girl and my grandmother and mother use to prepare meals as such. Thank you all for your wonderful examples of what kindnes generosity and hospitality is susposed to be in a family oriented environment. Tje Machuca, Holloway and James family

Best fried chicken I've ever had.

Excellent food and friendly service in a family environment.

Quaint but expansive ranch. Lovely original buildings. FOOD was OH MY GOSH SUPERB!!

The food wasnt that good and it was super expensive. For the fried chicken dinner for 3 adults, it was $98. They say they refill the dishes but they never came back until we were finished and sitting there. The coleslaw was disgusting. The "sundae icecream" was a scoop of icecream with either butterscotch or chocolate syrup. Definitely will not go back...not worth it

The entire staff was super friendly. The atmosphere will take you back in time, and remind you of dinner at Grandma's house. The Nashville hot chicken was amazing...and I was even offered extra after I finished my plate 😊. Will definitely be back.

Great food and service in a family style restaurant. Be careful of 20% mandatory gratuities

Awesome! Food was great. Setting was perfect. Drive there was very scenic. Will return for sure!

I have been wanting to come here for several years and have been building up my expectations for just as long so I finally took my family. I can't say enough about the atmosphere. I seriously felt like I was in a country home, at a rancher's dinner table getting treated to a home cooked meal. Family style is such a cool experience. Chicken was good, ham was good atmosphere was excellent. I'll be back!

Great comfort food, rustic atmosphere and fair pricing. Having lived in Colorado for 5 years this place is one of my top 3 best restaurant experiences.

Awesome as usual. Love to go there. Best Chicken ever
