We stopped in for breakfast when we didn't realize there was an art festival going on in the city of Durango, so we expected it to feel crowded, busy and rushed. They found a table for us right away (part of that was lucky timing on our part), but provided great service.... Answering all of our questions and asking where we are from and overall friendly service. We all ordered the breakfast burritos and it was better than what we expected. I highly recommend the green chili sauce they smother the burrito in.... It's super tasty! And in the end, the price was lower than we expected.... So, great environment, great food. 5 stars! I would be happy to come back to this one!

We looked for a lunch spot via Yelp on our way home from Telluride…read more Yelp did it again. Loungin' Lizard will be our go to every time we pass through Cortez in the future. We walked in and were immediately greeted by one of the bartenders and told to sit wherever we liked. We found a nice booth off to the side of the bar area. Our server Patrick stopped by the booth and pointed us to the food menu in the chalkboard. We also had another server but I didn't catch her name. They were both very friendly and attentive. I ordered the special for the day. A green chili Rueben & fries. Wow, this sandwich was so delicious! What a creative combination of flavors. Even the slaw in the Rueben included the green chilis. The fries were hot and crispy. My husband ordered the spicy BBQ pulled pork tacos. He said the tacos were amazing and the flavors were off the charts. They were topped with a slaw and pickles. The side of "tortilla chips" had a dusting of a very flavorful spice. Not sure what it was but very tasty. Looking over the menu, this restaurant has some very creative dishes. We can't wait to stop by again! My husband ordered

I ordered the vegan French toast and a side of bacon. Having a severe egg allergy makes breakfast choices out limited. The cinnamon on the French toast gave it the right crisp plus the maple syrup was spot on for my taste buds. The bacon is thin strips which aren't my thing I prefer thick cut bacon. It has a few counter seats and then as many tables as can be put inside for seating. Turnover of tables was quick. Many people came and went. I enjoyed my hot tea and read while I ate.

Came with a baby soft serve cone which was perfect. Burger- 2 stars. I expect a really good burger at a home-town burger joint and these were not that. The meat patty was clearly a frozen convenience style patty you would expect at a gas station. No fresh meat. So disappointed! And still cost $13! Salad- 2 stars. The lettuce was starting to brown on the edges. The chicken was chopped up and nothing special. Vinaigrette was fine. But, again for $13 I expected better. Big disconnect between the prices and the quality.

Specializing in breakfast and lunch (though Sunday is breakfast-only), the fare comes in sizable portions for a reasonable cost. The food was all very tasty -- high-quality biscuits and gravy, good hash browns, excellent bacon, and house-made green chili, a long with decent eggs and pancakes the size of your plate. Bring an appetite and expect it will be fulfilled. The decor is like what one imagine's a diner at a train station would be (complete with an operating model train endlessly circling the walls just below the ceiling). The tables were a bit cramped for four -- overall, elbow room is at a premium -- but it was worth it.
