The restaurant had flies, condiments were sticky, and disgusting. The food was so dry, we couldn't eat it. Paid our bill and left. I do not recommend this place to anyone!

This is the cutest, country style restaurant. We had a delicious homestyle breakfast, fast service, very friendly, clean and just felt wonderful! Good prices too! Highly recommend!

Very dirty restaurant with rude owners. The food has no flavor and is definitely not homemade!! Everything is frozen and make sure to really check for mold!! Not sure how this restaurant is still running but do not be surprised if you get food poisoning. Very disappointed in this place!!!!!!! Try pippos or the Ute coffee shop for real homemade... More

A big breakfast with super service. The eggs and bacon were perfect. The biscuits were obviously homemade and scrumptious. The orange juice was good and the coffee even better. Go for it!

Satisfying, hearty breakfast, great folks, industrial-country decor (who knew that would work!) We ate there going to the Grand Canyon and also on the way back home. Just as good the second time. French Toast was really good!

For going there multiple times, sometimes twice a week and they ask us " are you from around here"? Eating salad and you find the bottom of the head of lettuce. When you order ot wings and it looks like fish patties with sauce on it.. Don't ask for well done steaks, it'll come back burnt to were you can't... More

Perfect place for a homestyle breakfast. Great service. Don't let the exterior keep you from coming in!

We stopped here when leaving Durango on our way back home. A friend told me about this cafe so we decided to look for it & stop here for breakfast. So happy that we did. What a friendly place with great food, service & reasonable prices. Will definetly eat here again on our next trip to Durango.

We came on a fish fry Friday and apparently the cook staff couldn't keep up causing a small grease fire in the back. Now....that didn't really bother me believe it or not.... But the staff would not stop bickering at each other making me really tense while I was eating. The food was a good value and I really liked... More
