Look up great diner,this is the definitive diner experience!!Not the gee, we thought wed start a diner, but theWe know what and how to serve, feed, cook, diner.& Watch-out, but the interior decor is upscale like a fancy joint.But still has that hometown feel.Ute coffee shopis what diners strive for, the ultimate experience.Ya gotta try it to believe it, come on in!!

What a great hidden gem. It was so nice to actually have wonderful service and food was pretty good diner food!!

Great choice for brkfst between Durango & Four Corners Monument. Extensive menu & we all enjoyed our dishes. Plates were loaded & prices reasonable. Appears to be a locals spot. Waitresses constantly moving... good staff. Wed go back for sure. Loved ur biscuits, gravy & eggs!!!

3 minutes after 9 couldnt get served its hard to eat as a trucker. No one cares forced to eat at burger King and that stinks.

The ladies that work there are rude. will never come back. horrible experience. absolutely horrible experience. the lady who runs it *brunette, short*, the other blonde waitress. dear god, out of all the few stuck up rude people I have encountered the staff here has topped it off. I have NEVER left a bad review but am disgusted with the way they treat people. dont go in and support their business ! they were rude to some customers sitting there drinking coffee, said if they arent going to order food they need to leave that they are taking up space. mind you, they were only there for 30 min tops. I MET THEM THERE SO I KNOW HOW LONG THEY WERE THERE!!!! its one thing to need tables but another to be rude about it, after breakfast the place emptied out and for lunch no tables were needed. EWW DONT EVER GO THERE. RUDE AF

Very good Chicken Fried steak!!! Service was great also.

Absolutely delicious!! Served very fast, food was hot and coffee was excellent!Definitely a must if passing through!!Will be back!!

They are working with the Salvation Army and local Colorado DOT 😁👍 to feed the truckers for free. Big thanks, we was starving. I got a big juicy 😋 homemade hamburger and chips and the hubby got a burrito all the way. Plus we got a goodie bag with lots of stuff from the Salvation army that the restaurant ladies packed and brown bags to go.

Good parking, you can turn around a semi doesnt matter how big is. Food was good and the price wasnt bad, you spend a bit more than go to a fast food but you get a real meal. I pay $20 with dessert and all, fried steak was good and cheesecake was delicious.

Always have good food. And plenty of it. Good salad bar as well.

A nice home town diner with a large menu that serves breakfast all day.

If youre driving through town or living somewhere nearby, dont miss this stop. Excellent breakfast and brunch menu, generous portions, and alive with locals. My partner and I ate off of one plate before our journey through the mountains and were excellently satisfied, her waffle was too sweet for her but shes the kind of girl who drinks unsweetened Matcha. She had tea and I had coffee with oj. We shared the breakfast burrito plate with green chili. Delicious!

Bonnie and crew provide great food and service

Great service and great food! We will definitely go back! 👍👍

This place is a hidden gem. The staff friendly rhe menu diverse. Hands down best coffee ive had in months, food plentiful. I will star this for return business.

Great down home food!Staff was great. Visited with local rancher/farmer that has MO relations. Just a friendly place all around!

If youre from out of town dont let the exterior detour you from coming here. We eat here every time we are in town visiting family. Good food, good service, great prices.

We walk in at 12:20 p.m. Lady at the counter was playing on her phone. I had to tell her we would like to order. She took our order, then we waited. People that got there long after us got their food. I asked “where is my order?”. She said “yours is up next”. It’s now 1:20pm and I still hadn’t received my food. We ended up just leaving, (with no food still) wasting an entire hour. The incompetence of the establishment is beyond comparison.

Very slow and inattentive server, not to mention extremely unfriendly. Food was decent, pancakes were good. Prices were not too bad either. Overall a unremarkable eating experience, based mostly on the wait time and service and food being very slow from window to table.

Best pie in Colorado! And great Navajo tacos.

Great diner food breakfast. The Staff was attentive and on top of everything. Especially considering the place was full. No pics since I was hungry and it looked so good I just dove in!

The people were nice, but the food was not very good.

Really good food

Food was very good, nice little small town diner. I had there Navajo taco was very good, there fresh cut French fries looked delicious

The menu has something for everyone. Husband ordered the smothered mother and the enormous burrito that was brought to him was apparently earth shatteringly good. There was a bit of dancing while he cleared the plate, which is a rare occasion. The quinoa bowl was a more modest portion but ending up being very filling. Servers were fun and helpful and the space has good spirit. Highly recommended.

Where is Chef Robert Irvine when you need him? It should be a crime to serve the coffee that they do. Not only was my wallet assaulted, the breakfast steak was a physical threat to my well-being. The only thing more homely than the food was the waitress. The clean restrooms earned them a star.

People working there are very nice and efficient. Place is clean. However my breakfast was pretty awful. The sausage patty was not cooked through, I asked for medium egg and it was runny and the whites werent set, the hash browns were so greasy they were mushy, as was the toast, dripping and pretty soggy. Cook must have been having a bad day.

Good salad bar. Lots of choices off the menu.

Great place as was passing through. Extremely nice people and great coffee.

Great food . Plenty of parking for tractor trailer. Affordable

Food tastes good.Liked the wood work.

The food and service here is actually pretty decent; however, the coffee leaves a whole lot to be desired.

This has always been one of my most favorite places to eat growing up, and it still is

Great breakfast and extremely attentive waitstaff. My coffee cup was never less than 1/2 full.

We stopped in here for breakfast before a long drive home and were very pleased with our experience. We received our food very soon after ordering. The efficiency of the cooks was astounding. And the food was made from scratch. We especially enjoyed the omelettes and the hot apple cider. 10/10 would stop in again.

Good breakfast but potatoes were under cooked

Really good food and prices plus truck parking, cant beat that

Stopped in for a bite after driving up to Colorado for work. Not only was the atmosphere unwelcome from other patrons and staff alike immediately upon stepping in the door, the food was nearly unedible. Ive also never been so rushed through a meal and out of an establishment in my life. Would not recommend unless youre looking for a bad time.

Awesome food

As a truck driver I always make sure to stop in when I route through to get a bite to eat. Always good service and always good food.

Cant go wrong here, make sure to ask for some salsa

Always so kind to the kids and I been going since I was a kid with my Pa

Facility was old but food was good. Slow service. Prices moderate.

Second time for breakfast in two days. Great place to eat. You aint gonna walk away hungry.

Stopped there in Cortez Co to meet a friend for breakfast on my way to Boise Id. The food was great restaurant was clean the staff wad busy so not so friendly probably because they were busy but the service was good.

Good food! Good atmosphere! Good service! I recommend this place.

Down home cooked with big portions! Fries are made in house. We will definitely come back again! 🙏

Really big portions of really good food youll want to use this as your one outing for the week tho, its prices are up there

Great stop for breakfast and other dishes. Nothing fancy,just good home cooking. Great layed back atmosphere and popular with locals as well as travelers and truckers.

Loved the food here! Found it in b the local food directory and it was great and felt so welcome!

This is where all the locals go, and it is exactly what we were looking for...good coffee, delicious food and great service! Try the hash browns and biscuits and gravy!

A must stop!! Food was awesome and service was even better and prices are perfect!! Thank you for this excellent experience!

Our waitress didnt seem to enjoy waiting on costumers. She looked like she was very bored at her job

Some of the best breakfast around and very reasonably priced. Try to eat here every time I am in Cortez

Good little breakfast stop. Our waitress was right on the ball. Will definitely stop next time we get back that way.

First time I ate here. Good home cooked foods. I would go back.

The food was good, service was decent, but I felt rushed when they started putting the chairs up on the tables while we were still eating.

The folks who were working there were both excellent both women were absolutely beautiful the food was delicious it was served quickly it was served well it was definitely delicious and so was the coffee I would come back there again and again

Great diner! Great breakfast and relaxed atmosphere.

Service was good. With the covic it was a 40 min wait for our party to seat.Clean and food was great.

My husband and I dropped in for breakfast during a visit to Dolores, CO and this little spot did not disappoint. It was both simple and delicious, homestyle all the way. I have to mention the staff because they were just so nice and had a good handle on everything. Great hospitality, thanks yall!

Stopped for breakfast here. The tea was amazing. My meal was tasty as well. I recommend for those who like a local feel.

Thank you for feeding us. There are a lot of hungry people and because of the pandemic, not a lot of places to eat.

If you are looking for a homemade cooked meal. This is your place to go!

I went to go help install there new freezer and when i went in the kitchen it was dirty flys and bugs on the grill

Sometimes very busy but worth the wait. Portions are large & prices are very reasonable.

Great little cafe,locals love it too! Truckers love this roadside restaurant also.

Weve stopped here once a year on our way to Montrose Colorado and we look forward to breakfast there. We always have the same server and she is always very friendly and efficient. They have great biscuits and gravy and omelets. Never been disappointed, thats why we going back.

Food was absolutely delicious 😋

Over the years driving truck Ive eaten here a couple of times. They are awesome! Big servings of hashbrowns great coffee & wonderful service.

Very nice place. Loved the people.

Great comfort food good prices

Always good food

People are excellent.

Very good food

Great place eat

Classic hearty breakfast

Stopped in since we had a large Uhaul and no where in town to park but here. Their parking is definitely trucker friendly! Ordered a waffle and a burger. Both were good but the fries were very underdone (was lunchtime). We didnt have coffee so cant comment on that. Waitress started out kinda annoyed but was friendly at the end. Not sure they are up to code on sanitizing? Good local joint!

Bro it was a awesome experience at the place and the food was fantastic.

Good food friendly staff just a little pricey almost $19 with tip for breakfast but I know we all have to make a living just little tite at my house

Nice people. Highly expensive Taco plate that was simply a joke. First and last time I’ll eat here. I can get better at taco bell and I think taco bell sucks.

Good home cooking in town love the specials here

My preferred place for delicious american food. the service was helpful and kind. it has a cool atmosphere.

Thee service was excellent also thee food was excellent also, prices were good also. Home made pies folks. Come on in folks 5 gold stars from me.

Great food Best Biscuits and Gravy and Great service

While on a motorcycle trip, a small group of us stopped here for lunch. It was busy, which is a good sign went in a small town. The staff was somewhat friendly, but not too friendly. More busy than anything I think.The restaurant was clean. The food was good and tasty. Not much else that really stands out as outstanding. I’m usually pretty considerate of businesses and watch employees run around trying to please everyone. However, although it was busy, we were the last of the crowd and everyone was eating or finishing up. Maybe it was just a bad time for our waitress. But the food was good and timely coming out.

Great service and food.
