    Stopped by on our way from Four Corners Monument to Mesa Verde National Park. So good! Our waitress was amazing, ,our host seated us and got us drinks right away. We got breakfast food and it was all delicious! It was reasonably priced too. Staff was all friendly. There were locals there too, so you know it is good. Love this place. If you are in Cortez and looking for some good food, this is the place!

    Restaurants decor was western architecture and very attractive.Service was good and the food delicious. They had space to park our motor which had a tow car attached.

    Hashbrowns and bacon

    Ordered one biscuit and gravy, hashbrowns and bacon. Biscuit was overcooked, it was crunchy! Bacon was very overcooked, thought it was beef jerky. Hashbrowns and coffee was good

    Denver omelet, hashbrowns, biscuit and gravy

    Clean, unfussy greasy spoon diner with good, friendly service all around. There is a salad bar, and breakfast is served all day. I had the denver omelet, hashbrowns, and bacon, which were classic and delicious, but the star of the show was the biscuit and gravy.

    Large family seating, or a quite booth

    Wonderful gem known by most locals. Great food and a great atmosphere. If you ever wanted to know where the local ranchers and farmers go to grab a cup of coffee and fix Americas problems, it's awesome little places like this scattered across America. Highly recommend the breakfast

    Found this breakfast place after traveling through on a trip. This is a family restaurant, food was very good! The quality of the desert was crazy good for the money. Service was ok. Would eat here again.

    Don't go here. Food is overpriced and dumb. Vibe is cool though if you like 1960's diner feel with 2015 pricing. Outlets didn't work.

    This is a local spot where you pull up, park, and staff come out to you to grab your order. After a…read morelong day of driving, this was definitely what I needed. Something easy and fast! 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.

    A classic drive in! You don't see those a lot nowadays - most restaurants that still call…read morethemselves 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?
