Anytime I'm anywhere near Cortez, I make it a point to stop by Cold Stone Creamery. There's just…read moresomething special about this location that makes it stand out from the rest. It doesn't feel like a typical chain ice cream shop -- it feels personal, welcoming, and comfortable, almost like hanging out in someone's living room with really good dessert. A big part of that experience comes from the owners, Jeremy and Raedene. You can tell they genuinely care about the store and the people who walk through the door. They've created an atmosphere that feels relaxed and friendly, where families can sit down and enjoy time together without feeling rushed. The dining area is clean, cozy, and inviting, which makes it easy to stay awhile and enjoy every bite. As for the ice cream -- it's honestly the best around. The flavors are incredibly creamy, the ingredients taste fresh, and the portions are generous. Watching the staff mix everything together on the frozen stone never gets old, and they do it with skill and enthusiasm. Whether you're ordering a signature creation or building your own masterpiece, it always turns out delicious. The team working there deserves recognition too. They're upbeat, polite, and clearly enjoy what they do. That positive energy carries through the entire shop and makes the whole experience even better. If you're looking for amazing ice cream, friendly faces, and a great atmosphere, this is the place. I highly recommend stopping in -- you'll quickly see why it's such a favorite.

Before…read morereturning to our camper parked about 10 minutes up the highway, we explored ways to sate our collective sweet tooth, and found Deco Dessert here in town. Nestled in a quiet neighborhood, DD has all ndocations of being a converted home AND an awesome dessert shop. The nice lady behind the counter patiently explained the offerings to our kids, and we ordered up a couple of Boba drinks and ice cream. The sour cream and berries was my favorite, but we took a great cross section of the menu. Everything was awesome, and a nice treat after a hot day of hiking. Cute interior was welcoming and comfortable. I'd be a regular if it wasn't 750 miles from home :). Will be here again on our next trip down US160.

I am a bit of a reuben connoisseur as I judge cafes off of their corned beef. The reuben at the Green Table was excellent. Plenty of cheese, good sauerkraut, and tender corned beef. My wife had the pulled pork and that was excellent as well. Kendra, the owner, was super friendly and said they had just opened up the day before. Apparently they will be adding more stuff like homemade ice cream and more seating. We will absolutely be coming back before and after that happens.

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.
