I'm updating my review because I've been back several times since my first visit, and a few things have changed. When I first came here, the food was excellent but the service was... not. The place was busy -- maybe a dozen tables plus bar seating, and about 80% full -- but even with a busboy helping, the waiter/operator barely paid me any attention. Maybe it was the beard and the autumn work attire, maybe it was just bad timing, but I felt pretty ignored overall. I was so irritated that I only tipped fifty cents -- and that's saying something, because I always tip well. Fast forward to now: he's much better. It seems like he may have seen my original review (the 4-star one) and wasn't thrilled about it. Still, to his credit, the service has definitely improved, and the food remains phenomenal. On my return visits, I've tried the Western Omelette (pro tip: ask for it with their jalapeño cream cheese for a delicious kick!) and, for the first time ever, chicken and waffles. Both were fantastic -- and honestly, I'll probably never order chicken and waffles anywhere else again. Still, I always find myself coming back for the huevos rancheros. Funny story: I asked the owner/waiter about their huevos rancheros recipe. He told me it's been in the family for 45 years. The ingredients are surprisingly simple -- nothing fancy, not even cumin -- so either he's guarding a well-kept family secret, or his father, the cook, has simply perfected the art of turning ordinary ingredients into something extraordinary. As far as ambience, this place is just an ordinary, mountain diner. I love their floor though, and I would like to replicate it in the next cabin I build. read more

The food and the service were great. Avery is the top-notch Cook and the lady who serve at the tables. Brooke is very kind and generous in all that she does. I recommend recommended highly. They've won me over. And I'm a bit of a foodie! They have fresh apple pie and peach cobbler. They buy their potatoes locally in the San Luis Valley. read more

Such a great little diner! We were headed from Taos back to Denver and needed to grab food and decided to stop here. The service was so awesome and friendly! He mentioned how everything is homemade except for the chicken nuggets. The honesty was great and the way he knew the menu of what they had or didn't have was impeccable. I also appreciate his attentiveness even when the place filled up! Food was delicious!!!! Even something as simple as the French fries were so good! You can tell all the food here is homemade with love and a lot of hard work. I hope we pass by here again in the future because I want to try the other dishes available! read more

This diner was the perfect pit stop on the way to New Mexico or Denver, right off the highway, so you don't lose much time with a detour. It's a classic, no-frills diner with lots of BLT options, but if you're vegetarian like me, there are some solid choices too: a black bean burger, corn on the cob, beans, and broccoli. The place was very clean, the service was good, and the vibe was relaxed. A nice, chill spot with a highway view, great for a quiet meal on the road. read more

This was our second visit and we couldn't be happier to have a wonderful local gem! Service is great! We've now had three different omelets while enjoying this establishment and the amount of mushrooms in the western omelet is amazing along with their ranchero sauce and jalapeño cheese sauce! It's a very clean establishment and is a must stop in Fort Garland! The homemade cinnamon rolls are to die for and they serve alcohol, which is nice for those occasions. Avery has been extremely friendly every time and we look forward to our next visit. It's also nice to know that his dad does all the cooking and you can tell everything is made with care! All of our visits so far have been in the winter time but we are looking forward to enjoying their patio come summer read more

Please don't skip the chicken fried steak. Crispy outside, tender inside with amazing cream gravy. Also had the tender, flaky biscuits with eggs and fabulous hash browns. Definitely worth mentioning is the owner, Avery working the front of the house and his dad in the kitchen. He remembers everything! Our names, our orders and the entire menu.

We were on a roadtrip and stopped here to grab lunch. I wasn't expecting much but was surprised by how good the food was!! I ordered the 2 eggs with bacon, hash browns and a pancake. Everything was delicious. My husband ordered the country fried chicken that came with green beans, mashed potatoes and a soup or salad. He opted for the soup which was broccoli cheddar. My husband noted that everything was very good. For my 2 toddlers we got the chicken strip meal. The strips are hand breaded and were very clean and delicious tasting!! Our waitress was also very pleasant and attentive. Overall the place is a bit on the older side but well maintained. Worth stopping by if you're in the area! read more

Now we have to figure out how to get back to Ft Garland to get to probably the best diner we've ever eaten in. The owner came over and explained EVERYTHING is made in house (except the chicken nuggets, and apparently several desserts). I ordered the most popular dish, chicken friend steak. He said it was tender enough to cut with a fork... correct! By far the best chicken fried steak I've ever had with hash browns that were potatoes that morning (owner, "we get 100 pounds of potatoes from down the street and nothing is ever frozen." Note: same statement for their beef, also purchased from a ranch near them, also never frozen). My wife got a omelet with turkey sausage, which had so many bite size pieces of sausage that it was closer to a sausage sandwich but using eggs instead of bread. Sausgae was deliciously spiced, not just salty. Pretty dang awesome! We had peach cobbler for dessert (not made in house, but very good). I could imagine if I lived closer I would be back to try everything... but if I come in every few months, I would have to go with that chicken friend steak again! read more

If you're headed to the Great Sand Dunes? A little off the beaten path Diner with Flies Galore. Well, they are in the desert, so what do we expect, right? Somebody should tell the manager to buy fly paper or perhaps a small zapper from Amazon.com if Amazon delivers out here? You will even see flys mating. My wife and I almost walked out, but where does one go from here? this is a tiny town. There is no Rye Toast, only white, wheat, their own biscuit, or Texas Toast, which should be called Brick Toast for its thickness... LOL Other than that, the restaurant has some great mountain views. Pricing more than reasonable, a lot of tables. The food was fresh and good. Solid tasting juices, no lemonade. Only one co-ed bathroom with one bowl and a sink Clean. I would have given a better review if only there weren't all those insects crawling, mating, and flying over everything, so nothing personal. It was discusting.

The staff were hustling, as they got slammed over lunch. They were very friendly, even under the stress of the rush. It took a little while to get the food, but again they were slammed. Wife got the blackened chicken mashed potato, green beans and salad. Salad was fresh, chicken was really tasty. I got the ribeye sandwich with fries. I probably would not order that again, because it was pretty fatty and hard to eat. I saw other dishes come out that looked great. All in all, I would recommend this place. read more

What a nice addition to Fort Garland. This diner has been open for a week now and is so welcome by the community. It's a cute spot right off the main drag. I've been in twice now over the weekend. First yesterday for a late dinner which was burgers and fries and this morning for coffee cinnamon roll and breakfast. The space is bright and clean and the staff is friendly and welcoming. They serve breakfast all day. I'm not sure about the hours, because posted hours outside the building differ from the website. I'm sure I will be eating here a lot. My only criticism is I could do without the religious music playing. Can't wait to get back and try the rest of the menu. read more

Her pleasantness was probably the best thing I got out of the visit. As I stated, what I needed was an iced doppio and possibly a little bite to eat. Whereas they may make great craft beverages, the selection of the pastries was very limited. I wanted something savory but there was literally nothing for me to choose out of what they had (they all looked not-so-fresh sweet pastries. Not sure if they rotate the baked goods.) The shop is kind of cute inside. And it's not only a coffee shop but also a souvenir shop (or specialty retail shop to be exact.) I didn't bother to look at any of the retail items as I was in a hurry to get home. I read others' reviews and one of them said that the shop doesn't have any tables/chairs to sit down and sip your beverage. It's true; I don't remember seeing any. The same person went onto say that they don't have wifi so no work on your laptop is an option. In all technicality, this is a place to shop for retail stuff and grab a cup of coffee and off you go type place. If that still suits you then stop here.

We loved our lunch, the atmosphere and the staff!…read more We were traveling from Denver to Santa Fe and wanted to stop and wanted to investigate the town of Trinidad. We had stayed overnight a couple years back on a roadtrip to Santa Fe. We arrived at lunchtime and were intrigued by this place. We liked the history of the place and the homey comfort. If you dine in be sure to read the information on the wall photos. We got a couple of Paninis: Turkey Apple Cheddar and Applewood Bacon & Ham. We pared the sandwiches with Sweet Potato Fries & Onion Rings, but more importantly Hanks Soda & fresh baked cookies! What a deal they have for lunch and great taste!

Almost didn't notice this was a lunch spot until we walked in. It was a pleasant place with a…read moresouvenir shop in the back and they have yummy paninis. Good spot for lunch if you like sandwiches!

This is an extraordinary little gem in a out of the way location, but worth the trip even if you…read moreare not local. After seeing the ad for Alys' in the local paper for years, we finally tried it and loved it! Fantastic food, charming ambiance and super friendly folks. They have a limited menu and extensive wine list, but everything was delicious! To fully appreciate the experience, you have to shed your expectations of a traditional fine dining experience. This is more like going to your favorite Aunt's house for dinner who happens to be a gourmet cook and talented wine collector. The place is literally a residential building. Walk in the front door of the house into a front room that houses a awesome (and great priced) wine collection, then you are seated in a modest but comfortable dining room. We were handed a wine list before a menu and then after the wine was poured, the server verbally shared the few entre options (no prices). I had the NY strip, my wife ordered the grilled tuna, and both were outstanding. No appetizers offered, but your meal comes with a choice of soup or salad. Nice dessert options. The vibe is definitely more private dinner party than commercial enterprise. The bill was startingly modest. Reservations are required, and Alys treats everyone like a personal guest whether you know her well or just met her. Enjoy!

This was truly one of the best restaurants I have ever been to. Shortly after we walked in we were…read morewelcomed and offered the choice of sitting indoors or on the patio, we chose the patio. Our server (unfortunately I don't remember his name) asked if we wanted a wine list but we decided against it (my grandmother ended up getting the cab later, one of the smoothest wines she has ever had and it was only 6 dollars). He brought out our antipasto which was a tomato pesto (forgot the name unfortunately), sheep cheese, and Chinese 5 seasoned pork with fresh bread, truly delicious. Our appetizer choices were house salad or New England clam chowder, my grandmother got the salad I got the clam chowder, I have to admit I was a little skeptical when it came out, I prefer a thicker clam chowder, but this was truly one of the best clam chowders I have ever had, and I am from a costal state. My grandmother loved her salad. It is an entirely verbal menu, he gave us 7ish (maybe 8 lol) different options, I went with the Duck confit with a blackberry currant glaze, jasmine rice, and brown beech mushroom and green bean. My grandmother had the teriyaki pork loin chop on jasmine rice paired with the beech mushroom and green beans. I have been to France, Italy, Germany, the UK, Gordon Ramseys Hell's Kitchen, and other Michelin restaurants. When I say this is truly the best piece of poultry I have ever consumed, I mean it. It was tender but not mushy, the rice was cooked perfectly and the glaze brought just enough sweetness and tartness to balance the fat from the duck. It was one of the only meals I have ever consumed and absolutely loved every aspect of. I don't even like mushrooms and I ate every single one. My grandmother loved her food, she has been having some slight stomach issues and she said it felt very good to her body. The loin was evidently pulled just before 145, allowing it to rest and remain extra, extraordinarily juicy and tender, the teriyaki sauce was sweet but not too sweet, it had just the perfect amount of tang as well as notes of ginger I believe. For desert we had the crème brûlée which was extraordinary, one of the best I have ever had. I talked with the head chef (he went to a culinary school in Scottsdale Arizona), and he was a very kind man who brought out our crème brûlée personally to us. If you are hearing all of this and thinking "man this is out of my price range" it is priced at $40 dollars for the antipasto, the soup/salad, and the entree, which is absolutely ludicrous for this quality of food, they could easily charge 60-80 a plate. I highly recommend you give this place a try.
