    Burrito
    Albert T.

    A classic drive in! You don't see those a lot nowadays - most restaurants that still call themselves drive in end up being more like a walk in. I personally don't like eating in the car all that much, so we were glad to see that Burger Boy Drive In also had seating along the front. It works exactly the same as driving in - one of the car hops will come out and take the order, and then bring out the food. We dropped in a bit after 6:30 pm and the place was completely packed, with basically all the drive-in stalls taken. We sat down and placed our order at around 6:40 and didn't actually get our food until after the place closed at 7! I was amazed to see customer after customer drive in past closing and unfortunately having to be shooed away. Green Chile Burger, 1/4 oz ($6.29) - This burger starts with a buttered and toasted bun, spread with just a bit of mustard on the bottom, followed by shredded iceberg lettuce, pickles, sliced onion and tomato. Then comes a burger patty cooked smash-ish style - flattened with some nicely caramelized and crisp edges, but not as lacy as I would typically expect. The burger is cooked thoroughly until a bit dry in the center. I thought this burger would be absolutely doused in hatch chile, but it turns out they just spoon a bit on top of the center of the patty. It's slightly spicy and imparts decent flavor, but not as flavorful as I typically associate with green hatch. The chile unfortunately is completely drained and doesn't contribute much moisture, making the burger sadly on the dry side. The dab of mustard on the bottom does not do enough to make up for the overcooked patty. (3/5) Fries, Large ($2.79) - These are the typical commercial crinkle cut fries, fried until nice and crisp on the exterior and leaving a fluffy interior. Not much else to say. Fry sauce can be asked for and it's the standard commercial sauce, which works great as the fries aren't heavily salted. (4/5) Buenos Nachos ($6.29) - Interesting construction, with smashed tortilla chips on the bottom, chili and nacho cheese sauce smothering the smashed chips, an additional layer of whole chips above that, followed by a top layer of lettuce, sour cream, tomatoes, and onions. It's a pretty simple dish that works well together. The chili includes beans, but honestly isn't that flavorful though. (3/5) Burrito ($3.89) - I had no idea what to expect when I ordered this. It's basically a cheap frozen burrito that is deep fried. The meat puree inside is almost indistinguishable from textured protein, mixed with beans in a very salty and fatty mixture. The exterior is fried well to a crisp, without any leakage of the filling. (2/5) A lot of the 3 star ratings I give are because of major technical issues in the food. I can say that Burger Boy Drive In isn't really in that category. Instead, my rating is mostly due to food preferences. Hopefully my thoughts don't dissuade anyone from visited. Almost everyone seems to enjoy it, as the restaurant was pretty packed every time I drove past it. Bathrooms - I'm not sure there was one that was accessible for patrons. Maybe behind the building?

    Very tasty Shroomster!  (09/03/2024)

    There's something to say as all the classic drive-up restaurants of yesteryear slowly disappear, replaced with instant-gratification drive-thru - AI replacing machines in the cog - franchises that have no element of community or coming together. Burger Boy has managed to survive and seems to still be thriving in this town. When we pulled up and parked, I didn't see any dine-in or picnic table seating; this is truly still a relax and eat in your car establishment. A young server gal came to our window, took our order. She was friendly with a smile. I got the Shroomster and an order of onion rings, which were both very good. The burger was seasoned and cooked perfect, and the sauteed mushrooms and cheese were really good (sorry they're not visible in my pictures!). The onion rings were big and tasty. The fried breading was medium thickness and flavorful. They crunched down nicely, too. My parents loved their juicy burgers - happy tummies, happy vacations! Highly recommend!

    FOOD - Green Chile Burger: cheeseburger with green Chile, lettuce and tomatoes. The burger was decent. It was a little on the small side, which is perfect for me but not for my husband. 3.5/5 - Tater Tots: warm and crunchy on the outside. 4/5 SERVICE: The young lady who took my order was friendly. Service was a little slow even though there were only 2 other cars there. While I was waiting for my food, the lot filled up. I came at a good time. 3.5/5 FINAL THOUGHTS: I would come back to try other items.

    A piece of hair that my partner pulled out of their mouth from the burger. Unknown how much of the hair was eaten

    I'd give this place a solid 3 stars. It wasn't great, but wasn't terrible. Pros: - The burgers we tried were tasty. We ordered 2 bacon cheeseburgers and a green chile burger. - Caramel milkshake had good flavor. Cons: - there was a hair we found in the burger (after taking the bite). - Jalepeno bites weren't that good. - Tater tots were a little too crunchy - Bacon was over cooked and overly crispy Overall, it wasn't the worst burger joint I'd ever been to, but I wouldn't be eager to return if in town again. Just a heads up, they do charge a convenience fee if you pay with card.

    Great Place for burgers and shakes! Chocolate malts are the best.

    Passing through town on the way to Mesa Verde and stopped in for a quick lunch. It's like an old time drive-in. They come out to your car to take your order. Then bring it on a tray that fits in the car window. Service was prompt. We ordered two cheeseburgers, one with green chili. Also two fries and two drinks. The fries were good, they came out hot. The cheeseburger was excellent but the star of lunch was the green chili cheeseburger. Oh mama, was it good. I ate it before I could get a picture. Fellow Yelpers got it covered though. Highly recommend this establishment.

    Burger Boy.... so many favorites... we are here for chocolate milkshakes.

    Warning: This Review May Cause Uncontrollable Drooling If…read moreBBQ restaurants had a "cute factor," this place would be a golden retriever in a tiny chef's hat. The staff? So fun and friendly they moonlight as professional best friends. The pineapple salsa hit like a tropical vacation I didn't know I needed. Nachos were great -- no notes. The pulled pork was so flavorful it made me question my plain-chicken era. The brisket? Fork-optional tender. And the mac and cheese was so creamy it deserves its own zip code. But the real villain? The Chubby Cow Taco. I don't know what sorcery lives inside that thing, but it now haunts my dreams in the best possible way. 5/5 stars. Will return. Possibly tonight.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

    We met friends here at their recommendation. The interior dining area is fairly small but we were…read moreable to get a table for four without problems at 5:30 PM. My wife and I both ordered the brisket taco. Hers without the pineapple mango salsa and with Mac and cheese as a side. I ordered a side of sweet potato fries with mine. My wife absolutely loved it. I was expecting moister brisket rather than the burnt ends type meat. That being said, the flavors were very good. The tacos included a large portion of the burnt ends with a very tasty rather sweet bbq sauce, chunks of potatoes with a melty white cheese and a good flour tortilla. I was saddened by the amount of cilantro in the salsa; blame my DNA as it tastes like soap to me. I found the sweet potato fries tasty and an adequate amount as a small side. My wife's side of Mac and cheese was the better side and was easily enough for both of us to have shared as a side. It reheated well for an addition to a salad the next day in our hotel room. Our friends had a very good bacon cheeseburger and a grilled cheese, both with large portions of French fries. They also had leftovers to take home. The service was prompt and attentive without feeling like we were being hovered over, nor were we pressured to eat and leave. This made for a very pleasant conversation catching up with old friends. This would be one of our top dining choices in Cortez.

    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

    Easily my favorite place to eat dinner/lunch in Cortez!! Cute place on the Main St mixed in amongst…read morethe other places but became the standout!
