They had a ton of different, classic options to choose from. This is your typical drive-in burger spot. The staff gave some suggestions, which I appreciated since it was my first time there. My group ordered the chicken fried steak sandwich, the fish sandwich, sweet potato fries, and the jala bites. The food was hot and tasted good. I know you're wondering why we got fish, but I wanted something light! It didn't taste fishy and was yummy for a random joint in Cortez. The jala bites were a personal favorite, as they seemed homemade. It wasn't a classic jalapeno-cream cheese situation, but instead involved chopped jalapenos, nacho cheese, and it was all fried with a crispy outer shell. I'd come back for those alone! I'd definitely come back and try more. The price was fantastic too.

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.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Mac and cheese was also pretty good. The burger was beyond burnt. The fries were extremely salty and tasted starchy. The ambiance was perfect because there was basically no one there except one other family. Overall I would not recommend.

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

The was on the wall across from our table which was a bit difficult to see. I didn't think to ask if they had paper copies. We started with the Cajun smoked wings which we got with a side of buffalo sauce. Usually they toss them in sauce but we wanted just the Cajun flavor. They were nicely seasoned and tender. The blackened chicken was tasty, the fries didn't do anything especially with a hair in them that just disintegrated when touched so I didn't say anything about it. Am just now realizing you can see it in my photo. The burger was good but the pork belly was minimal and not very exciting. The seasonal cobbler was berry, was just ok, nothing special. We had several drinks that were very good but too heavy on alcohol, the bar tender even mentioned he put extra vodka in one when he brought. I wish he wouldn't have as it really affected me and not in a good way. Even though the food was decent and there were other menu items that looked good, I'm not sure we would eat there again next time we are in town.
