Amazing pizza. The crust had perfect chew, the sauce was perfectly spiced and the topping choices were great. The negroni was spot on also. Best pizza I've had outside of Italy. It was worth the 1½ hour drive and we'll be back.

Gluten-free pizza crust is soo good here. Very crispy edges and comes in 14 inches instead of a small pizza as many places are. We ordered the Little Italy and it was delicious. The sausage is definitely spicy but if you like red peppers on your pizza, then it’s perfect. With the additional ricotta cheese, it was a bit too much cheese (which i never say) so we removed a lot of the ricotta to enjoy it more. We ordered a big salad and it was almost too much for two of us to eat. Lots of delicious, fresh veggies in the salad. This is a counter service place and self-cleaning of your own dishes so can’t say much about service if I’m serving myself. They have indoor table and bar seating plus a pretty big outdoor patio.
What a gem! We showed up near closing (after checking out sunset at the Colorado National Monument) but we were welcomed warmly. The service was friendly and fast. Our pesto pizza came out quickly and was very delicious. The wine was also delicious and generously poured. The atmosphere was warm but vibrant and the store has an interesting history.
We tried to go back on the other end of May our road trip but they were sadly closed on Sunday evenings. Will be back!
Wow, what amazing pizza. We haven't had pizza this good since Napoli. The crust is perfect and the toppings are perfectly chosen, seasoned, and portioned. The granny and the Italian were phenomenal. We'll be making trips here weekly. Best pizza around. All the staff were great and the atmosphere is cozy.
The Meaty Pizza was one of the better pizzas I've had in a long while! Thin crust, ample meat toppings. I wish I'd ordered extra cheese as I'm a huge lover of all things cheese.
Other family members ordered Calzones and were not disappointed in flavor or size.
I'd recommend this place as a go-to for pizza if in the area. I'll be back next trip to the Western Slope - can't wait!
One of, if not the most iconic pizza spot in Colorado. This spot is not only a delectable place to eat but it is also a staple of the local outdoorsy community. It is a must stop after a day of adventuring in the Colorado national monument. I tried the peach pizza for the first time and I was not disappointed! It was fantastic. This is the type of place that you dream about until the next time you can go back.
They forgot our extra onions and gave us an entire pizza To-Go to make up for it. Best customer service I’ve had in a long time. I mean the onions weren’t even the end of the world. Pizza was phenomenal!
Nothing but positive comments! Pizza was just as phenomenal as the other comments I had seen. I fell in love with the stromboli. ❤️ Loved the unique selection of soft drinks. No wonder people rave about this place!

Had difficulty communicating with the staff about my needs for a gf meal. I don't care if people can't accommodate me, I just want to know definitively can they, or can't they, so I can make wise choices. Waitress was new, so not her fault. She did her best, but I wasn't inspired with confidence. My husband's order was supposed to come with sides, and it didn't. Something felt off about the place. Seating in the back is cafeteria like. Not cozy. Definitely wouldn't go a second time.
Came to Fruita Desert Rats run and ate at Camilla’s - 4 of us girls that ran. Lunch one day and dinner the next! Food was excellent and staff was superb! The owner is a fun guy! All homemade from scratch food. Highly recommend!!!
Our party of 4 ordered 2 BLTs, Tuna Sandwiches and French Dip. The food was fresh and pretty amazing, very large portions and we all loved our choices.
(this was posted prior to new ownership that now has options for brunch) We stopped in for brunch but missed the breakfast menu cutoff so had to order from the lunch menu, it would be great if they offered "breakfast/brunch" until they close at 2pm. Though we could not have brunch food, we ordered the mimosa's which were amazing!
We sat on the patio so got to enjoy the fun Fruita weekend vibe!
9/4/25: Came back and found there is new ownership- they were open for dinner and it was excellent! I had the bolognese and my son had the steak dinner. Cheesecake for dessert was delicious!Chef came to our table to make sure we all enjoyed our meal. 5/5!
We sat at the chefs table for dinner and it was a wonderful experience!! Our group had the spicy poke, Stella bread, meatball dish, steak, and mushroom rav! Amazing! We also had the palisade peach wine slushee. I definitely recommend going in for dinner for a new experience and amazing dinner. Try snag the chefs table and chef gives you all the insight into his dishes! We’ve been before for brunch but dinner is a whole new level! Well done!
Great for breakfast. Lots of options and the pork chili sauce is delicious!!
This restaurant closed and re-opened under new ownership. Previous reviews that you read that mention service charges, kitchen charges, and automatic tips on the bill no longer apply (I think they had to keep the old name 'cuz of the liquor license or some other regulatory nonsense). Those days are over and Camila's has been reborn excellent! The prices are reasonable without weird secret charges. They are now even open for dinner Thurs, Fri, & Sat and this is when Chef Montoya really pulls out the stops and makes food worth getting. This man is a total gem to have in a smallish town like Fruita and he brings some real skills to the table (pun intended). I mean, locally sourced and house dry aged beef, egad! Also, you'll find out that his pies are a true secret weapon. If you have never been here, go. If you have been to the old place and quit going, go back. I've never been sorry that I ate here.
Delicious breakfast! Eggs and potatoes were perfectly done and not over salted. I was too full to eat my biscuit so I had it well toasted for a bedtime snack. It was awesome, slightly sweet with great texture when sliced and toasted DARK!

Restaurant
El Tapatio is a Mexican restaurant with six locations across Colorado and Arizona, including one in Fruita. It prides itself on serving authentic Mexican cuisine to the local community and beyond. The restaurant offers a variety of drinks, appetizers, and entrees featuring special recipes that keep customers coming back for more. Visitors have praised the clean and well-organized establishment with charming decor and friendly staff.
I recently visited El Tapito and had a mostly positive experience, though there were a few drawbacks. The quantity of food was fantastic—plenty for two people. I ordered the dinner fajita for two, which came with a generous portion of both steak and chicken, perfectly seasoned and served sizzling hot. The meat was tender, and the fajitas were accompanied by sautéed vegetables, tortillas, guacamole, and salsa, making for a well-rounded and flavorful meal.
However, the service was not up to par. Our server was neither friendly nor particularly attentive, which took away from the otherwise enjoyable experience. Despite this, the quality of the food was enough to make me consider returning.
Overall, I’d recommend El Tapito for the delicious fajitas, but I hope they improve the service to match the great food.

So as an authentic Mexican restaurant... This is it. The atmosphere is very rich and colorful. The service here was outstanding and friendly. There is a fun photo op as you come in. Although we came right when they opened we didn't have to wait and we're basically the first customers of the day. We ordered our favorite dish... The one we use as a benchmark Mole Enchiladas. Although it wasn't as good as our favorite place to get mole it was good in its own way and I would definitely eat it again. It was crafted very well and came piping hot and quick. I imagine most of the other dishes would be just as good. There is a full bar which looked very well stocked. I can't really say anything bad about the place. I would definitely recommend this place. There is plenty of parking.
I discovered another favorite! The margaritas, carne asada, and spicy verde salsa are so good!! The portions are huge, and I was too full to try their sopapillas. Don't miss this place if you're in the area 💕.
This place is not only expensive, but terrible! I went for lunch because it’s $13-17, dinner is $18-25!!!! Nachos are $20 on the dinner menu!!! The lunch was blah. I ordered a chile relleno and chimichanga. They didn’t smother it in anything. They both came out dry! What?! I appreciated the salad tomatoes and cheese they put in my chile relleno 😳 On their menu, it said their burritos were smothered in salsa?! Gross. I like a little salsa on a chip, but don’t want my meal smothered in it. No thanks. To be fair, there is not a good Mexican restaurant that I’ve found in this Valley. There are others that I’ve tried, that are worse than this in the Valley. That’s not saying a lot!
Excellent place to dine in! Service is second to none. I compared it with Chick-fil-A service. They are so friendly and attentive. Very clean and colorful inside. Very good presentation and portions. Eduardo, server, other than handsome :) was very efficient and friendly. If you’re on your way to Utah or coming back this will be the perfect place to stop for some tasty Mexican food.
This place was a 10. Very clean and the food was cooked and presented very well. Real Mexican Food and I recommend it to anyone.
Maria, our server, was absolutely wonderful! I’m originally from Mexico and have been living in Denver for 35 years, and this is the first time I’ve truly enjoyed every dish. The beans were cooked to perfection — just like back home!
Great restaurant! Tons of options. Mole enchiladas were yummy and when they say jumbo margaritas, they are not fooling around.

I got a rack of baby back ribs and they were great!
Coleslaw was good and beans were OK. I would come here again. Seems like a nice atmosphere but the portions are a little bit small.
My husband and I randomly picked this restaurant off maps on our journey from California to Denver. What an excellent choice! Homemade foods and sauces and excellent BBQ ribs and pulled pork. Excellent service from Quentin. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. Thank you for an excellent dinner! We will be back for sure!
Easiest site to order from ever and ready fast and on time! Great priced great food with excellent options. Potato salad and beans were excellent. Rack of ribs a little small, but very tender and enough to get full. Texas toast was just ok, a nice cornbread muffin would have been perfect! Will order again when in the area .
I ate in here early on a Friday evening. Bree was my server and she was very nice as well as efficient. The Coors Light was ice cold and the Baby Back ribs were fall off the bone delicious. The BBQ baked beans were particularly good also. I had a very pleasant experience here.
I was in the area on vacation from Florida and saw there was a Rib City in town hoping it would be like what we experienced in Florida and it turned out to be 10xs better!!!! The waitress Brianna was so nice and gave us great service! We also met the Manager Nick that cares about his restaurant, food quality and customers! I would recommend anyone to try this Rib City! I cant wait to come back to visit and enjoy the great food and people!
MUST TRY THE APPLE CRUMBL CHEESECAKE!!!!
My parents and I came here for dinner. The waitress was very nice and on top of everything. We ordered the seafood dish. The is fish was amazing! Cooked just right. Thank ya'll for a great experience 😊
After spending a couple of days digging up dinosaur ribs in the desert, I had a hankering for some baby back ribs. The service was great. The food was really good, the sides included. And the dining in was relaxing.

Stayed overnight in Fruita and wanted to try the local fare. We ordered the craft beer flight and a Moscow mule. The mule was very good. The flight consisted of 4 choices of beer.
3 out of 4 real tasty. I would recommend the Orange pfd.
and the headless wings. The wings come with a story!
Rosie D — Google review
Apparently, a $16 sandwich does not come with fries.
The salad bar was great for the price, fresh, tidy, and organized.
Pizza was unavailable (apparently, there was a sign on the door).
My mule was made with some "top shelf" tequila, instead of a local gin that I ordered. I can't tell you how much I hate tequila 🙃
We never got the extra napkins and proceeded to wait about 15 + minutes to get our bill and settle up. I couldn't believe it when the server was finally walking towards us with our bill, and hooked a left to go answer the telephone and proceeded to take an order.
Oh, and there's no prices on any of the alcohol menus 🤔
Went there for a quick drink while driving through town. Located right in the beautiful city center it was worth it. The beers were good and sitting out on the patio on a nice day... Well, it's kind of nice.... :-)
Can't say anything bout the food - didn't have any...
Just moved to Fruita Colorado. Family of 5 checking out the local spots. This place was very good, friendly service, and a good variety on the menu. It's little on the higher side for price, but we'll worth it for us. Alcohol, good food, yet still kid and family friendly. Definitely worth checking out!
Went here today after hiking and everything was fantastic! I had the chili with Mac and cheese, YUM! So good, highly recommend.
Was passing through Fruita and a friend told me that they "heard it was good". What an understatement. Service was fantastic and the beer was great. The fish tacos were a delight, kept simple so that the fish was the star of the show, while adding just the right amount of garnish and style to really set the flavors off. I will definitely go back the next time I pass through town.
Star is the best server we have had in the GJ/Fruita area. Food and service are excellent! Ambiance is great. Super cool beer flight. Some of the beers were really good. Nice deco. Will go back!!
Usually we love this place, but tonight the service wasn't great and the beer on tap my husband ALWAYS always gets, the zeppelin, was terrible. It was a much darker color and tasted like a Newcastle. Plus, they ran out of Coors Light bottles, yet again. We come here once a week, almost every week, for a few years now.
Service did improve at the end, employee is new at her position, so we won't hold tonight against her.
Our favorite person, hands down, is Kendall. He's always got a smile on his face and he's very good at his job. He can multi-task like a pro, never gets flustered when swamped, and moves very efficiently throughout the bar. He absolutely makes the establishment worth visiting.

I recently went to lunch at Dragon Treasure Chinese Restaurant with my son and had an amazing experience! The food was absolutely delicious and the service was impeccable. Jerry, in particular, was super nice and made sure we had everything we needed. The dishes were top-notch, bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. If you’re ever in Fruita, Colorado, and would love a great Chinese lunch, this is the spot. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for great food and great service!
Came on a Sunday at 3pm, just missed the lunch special. No other customers so the atmosphere felt more peaceful. The restaurant is so clean and sleek. The staff was very attentive to our needs and frequently came back to check on us. This was my first time here and it instantly will be my go-to place to dine. I had ordered the beef with snow peas, very delicious. The sauce was not overpowering or salty like other places, it was just right! I recommend checking it out.
We just enjoyed a very nice lunch here. The food was really good. The service was wonderful and quick. The prices for lunch were great too!
The lunch special serving sizes were huge and priced great. But the meals were just average. We had the Happy Family, Cashew Chicken and Shrimp & Vegetables. It met expectations, but didn’t amaze.
Enjoyed the beef broccoli/cashew chicken combo (with steamed rice substituted for fried rice). The server was delightful. Portions were plentiful and had a good meat-to-veggie ratio. The house-made mustard sauce that accompanied the egg roll made my eyes water (in a good way).
The delicious chicken Lou main is my all time favorite among other meals. Fresh food, delivered in a timely manner nice and hot. No long wait times. I recommend Jerry as he’s always been the best server! I don’t need to say what I would like. He’s always remembered exactly what I like. I don’t drive out there often. Although when I do. I receive Perfect service!! Genuine hospitality and kindness.
Authentic Chinese menu cooked perfectly. Even the fortune cookies were above par, delicious.

I got the house burger and was a little apprehensive about the sauce after trying it by itself but after eating on the burger, it was good. Burger was fresh meat, not some frozen patty you get a many places. My daughter got the pizza and gave it two thumbs up. The dough was fresh and hand pressed.
Shawn H — Google review
Something is wrong on the way they cook their meals. We had a hamburger and it was simply mediocre. Hamburger was well done but tasted bland, like no spicing. Thought we would Try it and mediocre.
A great burger joint vibe with some excellent food and big portions. A place for every kind of person and every kind of burger, including a smoked Gouda burger with Gouda Mac and cheese bites and slaw. Messy but delicious. The milkshake was a real treat.
We were tired and hungry. Surprised us with the best meals on our trip. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Other customers were very friendly too. My husband said if we lived closer we would eat there once a week.
Really friendly clean and delicious
We finished up with dessert ice cream 🍦
We had hamburgers and onion rings. They were wonderful. The service was great too. If you are tired of the typical fast food fare but still want quick and easy, this is the perfect option. Your taste buds won't be disappointed.
One of the chics recommended the cowboy burger. I've never had a more flavorless burger in my life. But the staff is super friendly. The place is clean, and you can have dogs on the patio. Ice cream is also scrumptious
It was ALL good! Good Food, Good Service, and very Clean. Skyler, the general manager was on top of everything, as well as interacting with customers in a very friendly manner. All the employees that I saw were working well together and smiling. I wish I could name them all.

Oh..My.. Gosh! What an amazing restaurant in the middle of Fruita, Colorado. Friendly and wonderful staff, helpful for our dog, too. The food simply cannot be described well enough to showcase the flavors and appeal we experienced. The tamales were flavorful. The deluxe nachos were fantastic. Taste and presentation were top-notch, and I wish we had something like this in the San Diego area as this delivers a twist and curve-ball with Mexican cuisine. If I ever get back to Fruita, I can say I will stop at Fiesta Guadalajara again
A really nice place to stop! More food than I can eat! That’s why they have to-go boxes! Delicious #12!!
I love Mexican food and have visited many Mexican restaurants in my day. I know this is a chain and I've been to various locations for FG and that other chain TQ. It's very nice to know whenever I come here it's consistent and delicious. I've never had a problem with the food... Es la Bomba! Service is always top notch. Try the Mole.. Pronounced "Mo-Lay" chicken enchiladas. They are sweet heaven.
What can I say but EAT HERE!
The Good: The Salsa? Everything! Price, service, speed, quality, cleanliness. ALL Good. We love it!
The Bad: Sometimes it's busy. A good sign of a great place.. but not if you don't want to wait.
For now this is a place I can pretty much expect to be happy. I do recommend it.
THE best Mexican food in the valley! Everything is made fresh and the servings are big. Most are big enough for two people. The chips, salsa, and queso are SO good that you can eat that as a meal with one of their many great cocktails to drink or an ice cold beer from the tap. This is a family ran business, and you feel the loving, friendly vibe when you walk through the door. The service is always great and attentive. The overall experience and excellent food are unbeatable. This is a favorite place for my wife and teenagers.
Salsa is super tasty, guacamole is real chunky guacamole 😍 the burritos and quesadilla were absolutely fantastic. Pork and shredded beef in the burritos as so tasty. The carne asada in the supreme quesadilla stole the show.. It was as soft and tender as prime rib. Horchata was amazing as well. Will definitely be back!
Heck yeah. Nice work. Rellenos were bomb, and that's how you know they have it together. Everything was good. Waitress was AMAZING. It was really busy, and they didn't skip a beat. Massive portions. Keep it up.
Great restaurant! So bright and CLEAN!! Everyone was super friendly. Food arrived quickly, very large portions and YUM. Definitely recommend!

It's a little more expensive than Texas Roadhouse, but it's definitely worth the price. Bonus, the waitress was cute.

So glad Google Maps directed me to this awesome restaurant! The food is delicious, the portions are substantial, the price is right, and the service is excellent. I had the Prime Rib Cowboy sandwich with a side of cream of broccoli soup. Highly recommend!
The service was great! We had a crowd and they had our appetizers out for all before the meal.
The daily soup was surprisingly tasty and full of personality. Great chili and pozole. I had the lunch special Chili rellano, plus it came with a drink for under 18.00. I will get two meals out of it. The decor is relaxing and fun to look at. The only thing missing was my cowboy boots.
Traveling through and am SO GLAD we stopped! Our food was cooked to perfection, plenty of it, at a reasonable price!! The atmosphere is clean, welcoming and family friendly. Ask for Ladonna, she will treat you like royalty!!! Wish we lived closer, we would definitely become a regular here! ❤️
Everything is tested very well, except calamari, I ordered ribaya , our server Rebecca she was excellent. I highly recommend this place to everyone!!!!
Amazing taste and fresh food. Friendly service. Great atmosphere. They have areas you can sit to see TV and other areas more quiet. There is outside sitting. They use Colorado Beef.
I had the green soup and the sirloin dinner. Also the cheesecake which handmade. They have several other homemade desserts. We will be back again and again.
The food is excellent. We both had the beef and barley soup. I had their crispy chicken sandwich. My wife had the half of tuna salad sandwich.
Credit card fee when you use your card is not disclosed anywhere in the restaurant. Nor do they let you know that there is a charge for using your credit card except at the bottom of your receipt. Not everyone looks at their receipt prior to paying, as we did not last night. I just handed her my card when she brought the bill. Didn't notice it till I scrolled down to the bottom to see the charges after I had paid. Won't do that again. Not everyone carries cash and or checks anymore. Not to mention having to stop at an ATM knowing your going there for dinner. Not sure the food is that great to be inconvenienced by stopping by the ATM first. Alot of other food choices out there that don't do that. The extra that you pay for running a credit card just shorted your server.

Loved this place! The everything was great, decorated beautifully, great coffee and food, warm and inviting atmosphere, and great customer service! the gentleman I talked with was very interactive and kind!
A wonderful cozy little place. The staff are friendly and, as we are from Australia, took the time to recommend we visit Grand Mesa. Which I can wholeheartedly say was a fantastic experience. Our group ordered a mixture of coffees and other drinks, which were all absolutely delightful. Highly recommend this place to anyone who loves great coffee and great service!
Came to visit Fruita for couple of days and we found this wonderful coffee in town for breakfast, they receive you with a smile, call you by your name and are careful about how are you feeling while here. 100% recommend !!!!
Outstanding Empanadas! Plus great Chai and the English Muffins for breakfast are delicious! You need to come in and see for yourself! It’s also a great place to just sit and relax!
It was a very busy morning, so we had to wait longer than expected to get our coffee, but once we did it was delicious. I had a white chocolate mocha.

Great Vibes & Good Times! We had a great experience at this brewery in Fruita, and we're glad we stopped by! We'll definitely be returning.

Atmosphere
Upon arrival, we were greeted with a warm smile and welcome from Megan.
The ambiance was light, bright, and cozy, rendering this brewery an ideal spot to relax. The beer selection was great.
Megan and Caly were working diligently together, and their harmonious collaboration was truly refreshing to see. They handled the busy Friday evening crowd with remarkable ease, around 6 pm.
----
Food
Food is available, including tacos, although the hours are uncertain. A sign above the beer taps indicates whether food is being served, as shown in the picture. We did not dine here, but other patrons reported that the tacos were delicious, priced around $5 each, and generously sized, with the menu available at the bar.
-----
Dogs
We didn't bring our dogs, but it was mentioned that dogs are allowed in the covered patio and outside area, as long as they are on a leash and not in the main brewery.
-----
Note
We visited a new brewery on Aspen Ave. but departed due to lack of service. The establishment was busy and understaffed. We proceeded towards another brewery beside Copper Club, but I noticed this place, and we opted to sample a beer, delighted that we did.
We highly recommend checking it out!!!
Cheers

PS After I took a photo of the inside, the brewery filled up quickly.. All tables and bar seats were occupied, and we also enjoyed the retro cartoons being shown on the tv.

My kind of spot with outdoor seating patio. Just had that feel. And good beer. Happy hour 4:00 to 6:00 Monday through Thursday
Good beer, great outdoor patio! Great spot to meet with friends with a good parking lot right next door.
Spent the morning and mid day at Colorado National Monument and ended the day here. What a great way to cap it. Laid back vibe, cool indoor seating, great sound track, big outdoor space (but too hot today), and most important excellent beer. Their flagstone 18 Road IPA is excellent…great hops blend - smooth, fragrant and great flavor with just the right gentle bitter.
I'm giving 5 stars because the beer is tasty, there is ample seating and even a food truck on site most days.
If your looking for food beer with a nice atmosphere, I highly recommend.
No complaints here !
Unfortunately, they have limited kitchen hours, but the cider I had was good. Just the one cider option, think they specialize more in cocktails and beer.
Great beer in a beautiful setting, but cannot get past sitting next to a guy with white nationalist neck tattoos… wouldn’t feel comfortable bringing some friends here.
Copper Club is a must if you are in Fruita! Not only is the beer on point and fresh (I haven’t been to a brewery that shares when they cleaned their lines last so I thought that transparency was unique.) they also have an amazing music venue with plenty of seating options. We saw Grayson Capps perform and it was incredible. Also Tacos - Artwork - Liquor Options - Let’s GOoOoO Back!

If you're in Fruita, CO, and craving a quick yet satisfying meal, look no further than Subway. This casual counter-serve chain specializes in build-your-own sandwiches and salads, catering to health-conscious diners with a variety of options. From classic turkey and ham subs to adventurous choices like teriyaki chicken and steak & cheese, there's something for everyone. Not only do they offer delicious sandwiches but also wraps, salads, and tasty extras like cookies and chips.
I know this Subway has gotten a lot of bad reviews, but I just want to say that the young women running the show and her two coworkers today took care of business! They were super busy and obviously short staffed, but they worked together and had a system going and still really customer friendly. The food was great and I just hope future patrons will be a little more patient with the employees.

Went through the drive through for dinner. I wanted to order one of the special sandwiches that had been on display right as you pull into the driveway. When I got to the menu kiosk the special sandwich wasn't listed on the menu. I pushed the button to ask for help. The person on the speaker told me that if I wanted one of the special sandwiches I would have to come inside the restaurant to order it.
I think this is unacceptable. Why a advertise a sandwich in the drive thru that can't be ordered in the drive thru. Even if I was willing to come inside to order, which I wasn't, I was trapped in the drive thru by the cars in front and behind.
I was able to reverse out of the drive thru and go spend my money elsewhere.
I just thought you should know what's going on in your restaurant.
If could rate ZERO I would. Clearly these children working here are high or something. How do you mess up an order when I am making my sandwich right in front of your two eyes???? They completely messed up my wife’s order, I ordered for her and we got a chicken sub and this younger guy was making a meatball sub for an online ordered sandwich in the middle of me ordering. When I got to checkout I figured they put the online order on the counter behind them or something but I guess they instead they it in my bag and whoever had the online order got my chicken sandwich. HOW HARD IS IT TO SEPARATE ONLINE ORDERS FROM IN STORE ORDERS??? How do you mess that up?? Then on top of that they were EXTREMELY SLOW. I called and got figure, there was no manager. (I can tell). When we went back and got our sand which remade they took the meatball sub back (that’s a health code violation and cross contamination). I used to work in fast food so I would know. 0/10. Very unprofessional and very rude employees. No discount, no refund no anything.
Dont know what the deal is with the tall man working at this place, but he is extremely rude to his fellow employees even with customers in the store.
I placed an order online for 2 footlongs and a 6 inch. Only 1 footlong was to be toasted. When we got home, the sandwhich that was suppossed to be toasted was not and the other two were. Also, the 6 inch was made as a footlong. The rude employee made all of our sandwhiches.
Maybe instead of being a jerk to your fellow employees, focus on making the order correctly.
Went into this location to grab some sandwiches for the family. Very friendly staff and they made our sandwiches perfectly! This location is well kept and offers a drive through! If you're looking for a quick bite and in the area I would suggest checking out this location.
Placed my order in the drive through just fine but the kid at the window felt rude, then I got my food and went to a park to eat and they folded my sandwich sideways. Makes it very hard to eat and very messy, would recommend just spending your money somewhere else. Bread was like a tortilla chip as well.
Went in there to order my usual, just a basic tuna sandwich. all was good until the absolute caveman making my sandwich says "time for the double glove method" and GRABS THE TUNA WITH HIS HANDS. Never have I seen this method in use nor even heard of it. I get you have gloves on but I really don't want to see you finger assaulting my sandwich. Not to mention it seemed like the other guy on the line had just started that day, dude literally tried rolling up a flatbread like it was a blunt (didnt try fixing it), it had to be muscle memory or something because they all had to be high to mess up that bad. It was so incredibly hard not to laugh at the sheer absurdity of the situation tbh
The sandwiches are so good. You are able to pick out what you want on your sandwiches, and really good deals.

Stopped in Fruita and so glad we did. The town is cute and this restaurant is amazing. They were so good about my gluten allergy and had many gluten free options. We will definitely make this a permanent stop on our road trips from now on

Most incredible masala I've ever eaten! I would drink it if they let me. Lots of variety on the menu, not just the staples you'd typically expect. This place is worth traveling out of your way for. I was in town for one night and will certainly return hungry.
I accidentally ordered from this restaurant but was so happily surprised! They have the best garlic cheese naan in town, by far the cheesiest and most flavorful. I also got their chicken korma which was divine. I’ve never had to pick what the korma is braised in before and what a kick! I googled what they’re normally made of it and the internet said yogurt, so I went with it. So flavorful, so delicious, so creamy, so filling! And it was still hot when I drove all the way out to fruita and home (I which takes about 50 minutes, so that’s saying something). I would most definitely recommend!
Tikka and Saag were excellent. Naan was not good. Burned and so thin so barely anything there. Also tasted stale for some reason despite waiting in restaurant for the order. Everything else great, just naan disappointing.
Cute little place! Got a to go order of fish tacos and street corn in a cup. It was so delicious.
My 1/1 experience says this place is overhyped.
Service was lackluster, food was underwhelming, nothing special. But maybe in the land of the blind the one eyed man is king. So don’t skip it if you don’t find a better option.
Vegans have good choice. Had the soup, though I might order something different because it was salty and made me feel very full. All least there were veggies. Ordered onion bhaji but unfortunately that never came to the table. We were not given silverware for soup or momos and had to ask for it. Momos and samoas were very tasty and would order again. Not a terrible place, I was was expecting more given rating >4.5 stars.
We went here on vacation. We've got a place near us at home that serves the best Indian food, so every other place we go to gets compared to that one. This is the closest we've ever come. The Chicken Korma was excellent and we would definitely come here again! Yum!
Absolutely delicious! I had never had Chicken Biryani and it was the best meal I've had in some time. So good and such lovely people offering excellent service. Thank you!

If you're on the hunt for a delightful dining experience, look no further than Starvin Arvin's! Nestled conveniently next to a gas station convenience store, this gem serves up some of the most mouthwatering dishes you'll find. Their sausage burrito is a standout, especially when you opt for the El Diablo style with green chile and country gravy—truly one of the best in town!
And interest by spot attached to a gas station convenience store. I might not take a prom date here but I’d take my mom. Good solid food with fantastic service. And a sticky bun was basically handed to me walking out. I guess it was part of the meal but they had me with a great hobo plate of all sorts of stuff. Eggs, ham, onions, green peppers and a few other things. Stop by for a good meal and some gas!

The food here is amazing and especially their sausage burrito. Coming from Denver, I've had some amazing green chile in the surrounding areas but this burrito was one of the best ones I've had for a local spot and I even had the burrito, El Diablo style which is green chile and country gravy. I highly recommend it as well as the cinnamon roll which was bigger than my damn hand😂 the whole thing was very soft and tasted pure!. Overall the food is great and the service was great as well!
The food is served in crazy proportions. They have a cinnamon bun that's huge. And their prices are very reasonable. Great service when we were there.
Stop here! Best breakfast we have had in a looooong time. The size of the biscuits are bigger than my hand. Great service. Very friendly.
Waitress was awesome and trying her best but the food came out wrong, had to keep asking for missing items, food was cold and their famous cinnamon rolls that they were supposed to be famous for, well by far the worst I’ve ever had. Very hard and crunchy on the outside, mush on the inside. Asked others for butter and never got any. Quite disappointed to say the very least. Table had sticky ketchup on it and had to clean it ourselves.
The bread was burnt on my sandwich. My daughter also got a sandwich but her bread was toasted perfectly. Asked for water twice and was ignored. Had to ask a server that wasn't ours. She checked on us just once after we got our meal and did not refill our coffee at all. Again the other server did. We heard her at the counter flirting and laughing with other staff members. When she finally came back the second time we had been waiting to leave for quite some time. If I'd had cash I would've tipped the other server that I saw busting his butt the whole time while we barely saw her. Her name was Brooke. She is lazy. We haven't been back in six months because of crap service. It was six months before that because of the same reason. I doubt I'll be giving it another try in six months. The service never improves. The food is more expensive but not better. In fact it's worse. At this point only customer base you have is being off the interstate. Otherwise us locals won't be returning. You're just plain awful.
Hard to believe I ate any of it. Great menu,but probably the cheapest food service company food you can get sloppy execution as well. They brought my bacon avocado omelette without bacon or cheese. Might be sort of Okay until the manager or whoever she is came over to argue about everything. My waitress was great, food,experience,coffee,and definitely price were ridiculous. Highly recommend avoiding this place if you like taste or value!
Stumbled upon this gem while traveling. The food was amazing. The prices are extremely reasonable. Staff is friendly, courteous, and efficient. I wish it were closer to home!

Great food ! Very good & quick service! Pleasant diner
The food was delicious and tasted fresh! The staff was very nice and friendly. My husband and I both had the ultimate skillet and it was tasty, I loved the gravy on top. And the baby pancakes were spot on for the kids. The prices were very decent.
We love it here. The prices are great, the food is good as far as breakfast goes (we have never been for lunch), it's cozy and family friendly. Our family has grown here, all the waitresses talk with us, know our kids, know our order, treat us like family. We are regulars. Great small town feel.
A favorite place for my sister and Jim to go for breakfast. The food is very good and the prices are right. We had sausage, eggs and potatoes and my sister had an omelette. Normally the service is outstanding but our girl must have had an off day today.
Always good! Well prepared and served down home cooking. Wait people always pleasant and attentive. Location is popular with all the locals and the quality has been discovered by the bikers who visit Fruita as great place to eat. Very "homey" no special dress required, but the usual!
Super disappointed. I have eaten there's for years. It has always been great comfort food. But over time, they're losing there finest touch, food quality.people work very hard for there money all around. To spend it on a nice cooked meal. So the hash browns way under cooked , tasted very old (gross)and the mouse cake well was sad, a half of a grape,and just looked like it was throwed on the plate.not impressed. There is always room for improvement. Judy's need to pick it up a notch. I want my money back.
Judy's is an old-school storefront diner that serves honest American breakfast and lunch chow. Frequented by the locals so that's a real tell. Nice big plate of biscuits and gravy with hash browns will fill the void. The cheeseburger is nothing fancy, just an American classic done very nicely. Excellent fried chicken.

Ordered delivery from Pablo’s for the first time today, we got a pizza and a Greek salad! The crust was thin and crispy, pepperonis were delicious, and the salad was packed with flavorful fresh veggies! My husband and I love thin crust pizza, we will definitely be back
Julia E — Google review
To state the obvious, pizza in Fruita Hot Tomatoes is the benchmark. Two people, one appetizer, one fountain drink and a water we were at $70 with a decent tip.
The pizza crust is very thin and good. Good vegetarian and gluten free options but the gluten free pizza for my wife was a little undercooked
Mine was good. Lots of meat. Thin crispy crust and fresh ingredients.
Inside was loud, a little cramped and could use a little better ventilation.
People were awesome and friendly
I feel like it’s new and busy and these are growing pains that they will work through. We will definitely try again.
My husband likes thin crust pizza. He said it was the best he’s ever had. Thin but not cracker like. So delicious.
Tonight, my family and I had the pleasure of dining at Trailblazer Pizza Company, and I can confidently say this is our favorite spot. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm, friendly service that made us feel right at home. The restaurant itself was spotless, a testament to the care and pride this locally owned gem takes in every detail.
The pizzas were absolutely fantastic, fresh, flavorful, and made with quality ingredients that you can taste in every bite. I have to give a special shoutout to “The Impasta,” which has officially claimed the title of my new favorite pizza. It’s delicious, flavorful, perfectly balanced, and a must-try for anyone visiting.
What truly sets this pizza place apart, though, is the sense of community and connection you feel. The owners were on-site, personally checking in on customers, ensuring everyone was having a great experience. That level of care and engagement is rare these days, and it made the evening all the more special.
This place is a not-to-miss spot in the area, a true locally owned & operated treasure. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, do yourself a favor and stop by. You’ll leave with a full stomach, a happy heart, and, like me, a new favorite pizza place.
We came on a Friday evening at 530p with two adults and three kids, ages 14, 13, and 9. It’s unclear when you enter if you’re supposed to wait to be seated, or order and seat yourself, but it’s the latter—order at the counter and then seat yourself. Staff were very friendly. They don’t really offer traditional pizzas like cheese/ pepperoni or Hawaiian so it took us a minute to decide what flavors to try. We ordered the large cheese sticks and two medium pizzas, the trailblazer and the black pearl. We asked that they hold the goat cheese on the black pearl, but I think the young man at the register was still figuring things out so the pizza came out with the goat cheese. It was fine. Not worth sending it back, but it would’ve been better without. All in all we paid about $50 and there was plenty of food. We were able to order immediately upon arrival and we were able find a table immediately as well. We got the big table in the back that seats five, but the rest of the booths appeared to seat four comfortably. By the time we left all of the tables were full. It took a minute for our order to come out, but worth the wait. The cheese sticks were delicious and worth getting! We got marinara and spicy ranch for dipping. The marinara was good, but I didn’t care for the spicy ranch. The trailblazer pizza was delicious. The crust was super good on all items! We will definitely return to try some other flavors!
I've eaten here quite a few times now and the pizza is always delicious. I enjoy the different recipes they have to offer. The cost is ~$30 a large pie. That would be the only downfall to it is cost. Other than that, if you're looking for a different pizza outside of the other local pizza shops then you should try Trailblazer.
Really great Pizza shop. It was our first time in after the change in ownership. Th service was quick and gracious and the pizza was really good. We don't have to fight the parking, people, and the heat at the hot tomato anymore. It was also very reasonably priced.
Awesome selection of pizzas with a variety of cheese, sauce and topping options. Medium salad was fresh and a generous portion - plenty big enough to feed 2 adults and 2 kids. The crust was fantastic too. Friendly, quick service. Highly recommend!

Love me a good Egg McMuffin, so I decided to zip by Mickey D’s. Slid the hash brown right into the sandwich…. YUM 🔥🥪 😋
The franchise has gone down hill over the years. Went to the one in Fruita and granted it was somewhat busy but our to go order was missing food and being a distance away there was no going back for it. Already prices are high. What happened to customer curteousy and working with a smile all that, repeating back everything in the order. Seems like people skills and accountability is no longer a thing at these places.
DO NOT COME HERE!!! go to the one on North or in Clifton or near the mall!! this mcdonald’s never EVER fully completed an order I have ever ordered. When I pay the 25 cents for extra sauce I have NEVER received it. I pay for the snack wrap, or a burger, or nuggets and there is literally something wrong in every single order. Someone needs to hire new managers ASAP. Hire someone(s) competent.
I never had a more horrible experience with fast food service. The workers are too busy playing around, taking 30 minutes to prepare food when it’s not busy just to get the order wrong. I had to take my food back twice and ended up getting a refund. The girl who seemed to be the shift manager is not good at her job. She doesn’t have control of her staff and tried to tell me they remade my food fresh when he clearly looked thrown together.
Not one to point stuff out but: last order online was cool until pick up. They were "out of fries" (for 2 larges) and forgot the sauce (not a big suprise). Rough around this visit. At least this time they didn't add pickles.
I honestly had a really bad day. Im a huge TMNT fan and figured I treat myself. Ordered through the app to ensure. Whelp, didnt get 1. Called back they said yeah we got em. Then wife calls and they say "we didnt get them. We are selling old toys out of the back in the TMNT boxes". I've had a buncha issues with this place but this really broke my heart just a extra bit more. Rant over. And they put pickles on my stuff everytime, even this time.
This is the best McDonald's I've been to all year!
Food was fresh and delicious

Light sauces does not mean more sauce. I shouldn't have to scrape off what I asked for less of. And it's on BOTH sides of the sandwich.
Ordered on the app while traveling on I-70. Super easy location to get to. I arrived around 10am on a Saturday, there were no other customers in the drive-thru lane. Received my order, hot, in less than a minute total since arriving. I had an annoying order of customizing everything and it was ALL correct. Fries were (deliciously) salty and everything else could not have been more perfect. I wish this location was closer to my house so I could come here more. Thank you to these workers today, this was an unexpected delight for us.
Fries frequently not fresh. They never remember marinara with the mozzarella sticks. Burgers frequently poor quality, soft buns, greasy, old cold pattys
About 2215 rolled up to the drive through. Sat. Sat some more. Lights are on the boards and inside. Drove to the window. Read the sign that says open until 2300 (interestingly the same as the times on good I checked before driving over there). There’s a guys sweeping. Doesn’t look up. Honked. Nothing. Drove away. Have never been to this location before today. Guess I wasn’t missing anything.
After the meal I had here they are going to have to rename it from the Whopper to the Slopper. I ordered ahead online, they didn’t even start it yet when I arrived. Three people ordered at the counter after me and all got their orders before I got mine. And when I got it there was no to-go bag, just a wrapper covered in grease and sauce. We had already left the parking lot because we were now tight on time. I wish I took a picture before I started eating. It was a MESS. A ridiculous amount of mayo and sauces. The whole thing felt soggy. The bun instantly squished in my hands. The burger wasn’t even built in the right order so everything started to ooze out. I lost about a quarter of the toppings before I gave up. Tomotoes were old and I couldn’t bite through them so they all came out as one piece. I got to BK fairly often (you can see some of my other reviews) and this was the worst of them all. I don’t think I can eat BK for a minute now. We were listening to the radio and the song “Throw it all away” came on and that’s exactly what I did with the remaining half of the burger.
The wait is ridiculous. I ordered online and still had to wait for food. They make you pull around front which is very inconvenient based on this particular location. Wrong food and now arguing with me te:missing items.
Ate drive through here tonight and my boyfriend got food poisoning. I will be reporting this to the CDC. Disgusting food, should’ve known not to eat here as there was not one other person there.

Pizza Hut is a well-liked eatery that offers pizza, wings, and pasta for delivery, takeout, and dining in. They also have a variety of sides and desserts. A recent customer ordered pizza on a Friday night and found it to be excellently cooked with all the items being hot and exactly as requested. However, they did not appreciate the smell inside the restaurant when picking up the order and found that the actual waiting time exceeded what was promised online.
Great for ordering through the app.! Love the rewards,they have many new items. The little apple pies and the mozzarella six are out of this world! The staff is super friendly and works very hard to get your order done on time and accurate! The story is kind of small so you might want to take your order home with you or pick it up to go!

You should NOT order from here unless you do pickup. I ordered a pizza at 4:50 PM. It said it would be delivered by 5:16 PM in the app. I thought this was a little too fast. So I was a little bit understanding if it would be later. At 5:30 the pizza still said it was in the oven. So I called the store and they said it’s been in the hot hold for 20 minutes waiting for DoorDash driver to come pick it up to deliver it. I live 10 minutes from the Pizza Hut. But I was watching a movie. I could’ve went and picked it up. Instead, it didn’t leave the Pizza Hut until 5:45 PM which means it was in the Hot hold for now for 35 minutes. And it’s on the way. I will never be ordering pizza from this place again. And I will be disputing the charges with my credit card company.
I was dining in the lobby today and witnessed something very concerning. An adult male, who appeared to be the manager, was loudly yelling at a young employee who looked like he might still be in high school. The manager was standing just inches from his face, following him around, and berating him in front of customers.
Everyone in the lobby was clearly uncomfortable watching this unfold. The young employee handled himself with professionalism and stayed calm, but no one should be treated this way at work. It was very upsetting to see, and it left a very negative impression of this location.
I hope the ownership or corporate office will look into this matter and ensure employees are treated with respect.
Today we placed a $50 order directly through the Pizza Hut app. The order went through successfully, but then DoorDash — acting on Pizza Hut’s behalf — contacted us saying there was a payment error and asked us to pay again. We did. After that, Pizza Hut canceled the order completely, even though payment had been made.
When I called the Fruita Pizza Hut, they said it was DoorDash’s problem, and refused to make or deliver our food. No refund, no help — just “call DoorDash.” But DoorDash says it’s Pizza Hut’s order, so now we’re stuck in the middle with no food and no resolution.
The most concerning part? When I asked to speak to the general manager, suddenly they said they’d make the order — which they had refused just minutes earlier. So which is it?
This isn’t about the $50. This is about a complete lack of accountability and professionalism from the store. The staff were dismissive, untrained, and clearly not equipped to handle situations like this. Blaming your delivery vendor — who you chose to use — isn’t customer service. It’s passing the buck.
Pizza Hut corporate needs to take a hard look at this location. It’s a bad look for the brand when a customer pays and gets absolutely nothing in return until they escalate the issue.
Placed my order, should have received it an hour ago and still no delivery. I normally order from Dominos but their CC system is down so went with the lesser option. Even if they had longer wait times because of ONE pizza place in town not able to accept CC, this is outrageous.
Timeline was for a yr ago, hopefully things have changed, i wont give it another chance. Top 5 for the worst pickup pizza experience I've ever had... overpaid for my "large" pizza, took a quick look at it in my car & to my amazement, not only the smallest lg pizza I've ever seen, but the most minimal amount of toppings...add completely indifferent service, and your a top 5 loser. Got home, tried a piece, cold & tasteless, threw it away. Just terrible, WOW!
Great customer service. Rather quick servuce as well. Have stopped by quite frequently for lunch lately & every visit was great at this location 04/2025.
How are you going to let a pizza leave your restaurant with half the pizza missing cheese and toppings?
I called to complain and they offered to replace my pizza or give me a credit, so that was nice of them to make it right.

Very slow to take order and get us the order pretty much every visit. A man in the back with a lovely head of hair but no hair net or hair secured in any way. The burgers and fries were meh, not fresh. There was a customer sitting on the front counter where you order. The ice cream was yummy!
Guy running the counter didn't know how to do much need more training as said was new had to keep asking questions on every order item which took i while. The ice cream treats pretty melt by time we got everything not what we expected from dq most are better trained and run.
Says they open at 10, but i watched 2 cars pull up and leave because no one was there, doors were locked. I knocked on doors and windows, even called their number. No one was there. So i left, it was around 10:10
Almost every time ive gone in, they have an employee that is always hanging out in a white mustang with her boyfriend, she comes in pissed off every time. She even said in front of guests , “every time i step out people show up, im so sick of this”.
Also on numerous occasions ive come in, if its during highschool lunch, there will be highschool kids serving themselves, using bad language and people just get up and leave. This is by far the worst establishment ive ever been too. Their food is good, but absolutely horrible service. They leave doors locked because “i didnt feel like unlocking it today”. Ive had it with this place, Dairy queen is good, but this one im done with.
Girl that took our order was fake and rude. We didn't get all of our food and had to go up to the counter and ask for the rest of it...food was decent, but service was crap.
The blizzards were scrumdilliumptious. Poem time!
My tummy feels like the garden of Eden,
My lips taste like a cool summer breeze.
A good sojourning in the desert for many-a day and night,
And now I am satiated at this great oasis.
I fought many wars…
In this very DQ Grill & Chill,
Against temptations.
One more chicken strip,
Maybe even a whole ice cream cake to myself.
On to the next battle.
I am Odysseus, the great giver and receiver of pain.
They never have anyone working and they only care about servicing those in the drive thru line. We waited 30mins to place our order at the counter and then waited another 20 mins for our order then only half of the order came out and waited another 10 mins for the rest of our order it was only ice cream it can’t be that hard no other customer in the store. Manager just hanging outside while there is only 2 employees inside. We will not return walked up to see what was taking them so long and no one was even making the ice cream.

Starbucks, a renowned coffeehouse chain based in Seattle, offers its famous roasts, light snacks, and WiFi access. Along the lengthy drive from Las Vegas to Aspen lies a delightful stop in Fruita, where one can find an open and welcoming patio with ample space to enjoy the sun while savoring their beverage. It is even pet-friendly; travelers can conveniently tie up their dogs on dog beds outside while they order inside.
Very fast service! Very polite and friendly! They have a nice young team. The restaurant is clean and has a very comfortable interior. It's clear that people enjoy coming here. It's quiet enough to work on your laptop. I sat down, had my mocha, and had a good rest here.

2 of 3 drinks feel out of the carrier, the person didn't even secure them before passing them through the window. This is the 7th time they don't listen to directions for food. Remove egg is even on the sticker. Please do better.
Good quick service. Great baristas. Close to local attractions and nearby truck stop. Mobile ordering available here. Highly recommend.
So disappointed in this spoiler breakfast and coffee I decided to splurge the extra money on. The bacon, gouda egg sandwich was not worth all the money they charge as shown in my picture and the latte was really weak & watery. The only reason I gave them more than 1 star was for the staff attitude & friendliness. I'll go to Einstein across the street for a quick bite & coffee next time I want to spend my money to eat breakfast. Surprising as they used to be decent.
The absolute worst Starbucks on the Western Slope. I live in Fruita and would rather drive into town to get my coffee. Today’s order took over 25 minutes from when I ordered and 9/10s my order is wrong or it tastes burnt. Absolutely will not be returning again, it’s faster to drive to GJ than sit and wait just for your coffee to be awful.
This was the friendliest business I’ve ever been in. Everybody seemed happy and full of energy. Greeted everyone who came in with what felt like genuine friendliness. We were talking when they called our name so when they saw we didn’t hear they brought our drinks to us. 100/10
I ordered 2 mocha frappes. The restroom had no hand towels. The restaurant had no napkins. I was not offered a receipt. When I asked for it, I was given the wrong receipt. My drinks were watered down chocolate water. For almost $14 I should have gotten at least a good tasting drink. I will not return to this place.
This is the best Starbucks game ever. They will get your order right. Despite whatever your customization might be, they're fast and efficient and courteous

Quiznos is a popular chain known for its toasted, customizable subs, as well as offerings like soups and salads. While some locations are situated in gas stations, the quality of the food remains high. Customers appreciate the tasty sandwiches and efficient service, with online orders being ready on time. Although some lament the closure of local Quiznos outlets, they look forward to stopping by during future road trips for a nostalgic meal.
I typically find what I like, and get the same thing wherever I go to eat. When I came to Quiznos, Kellisha was extremely nice and helpful, and when I didn't know what I wanted since I usually eat at Subway, she asked what I like from there, and recommended a similar sandwich. It. Was. Delicious! Thank you Kellisha for the wonderful hospitality and for providing me a new favorite sandwich shop!
Levi C — Google review
Perfect for a tasty toasty sandwich on the road. Good quality even though it's in a gas station. Not a huge selection but enough. I had the chicken carbonara and liked it. The rosemary bread is awesome. We lament the passing of all our local Quizno's so will definitely stop here again on a future road trip for nostalgia & easy dinner.
The turkey was really subpar. The guy reached into the toaster and pulled the sandwich out when it was less than halfway done. He also had his (COVID) mask only partially on. I had to stop him from bagging up the sandwich without putting any toppings on it. Also, I could not for the life of me understand anything he said. Really weird, unfortunate experience. I will definitely avoid this joint in the future.
I placed an online order and it was ready right on time. The sandwich was good, service was good, and the place seemed clean! I prefer sandwich shops not being tied to a gas station, but it wouldn't stop me from coming back.
Don't eat here!!!!!! The staff is hateful. 2 employees working yet both went outside for half an hour. They came inside and saw customers and went right back outside. When they came in came over to start my order without washing her hands. I asked her nicely "can you please wash your hands?" She got an attitude with me. Then started making comments about me under her breath. I said "excuse me?" Then she acted like she didn't say it. That isn't customer service! If I were with the health department they would have been shut down. She didn't have her hair back and wouldn't wash her hands then rude and hateful.
When I arrived at this Quiznos(inside AMBEST) I was first received by a ridiculous amount of flies. There was noone at the counter to take my order. Sitting across from the Quiznos, a female employee. She was on the phone of course, ignoring me and the other gentleman in line with me waiting to order. We waited quite but noone wanted to work apparently. This happened around 7pm on 07/21/19. After some time, the employee ran inside and just hid behind the kitchen, ignoring us. Hope someone sees this and takes proper action. I drive across all USA and this is the worst Quiznos I have ever seen. By far.
My husband and kids 11 and 8 went to eat here after football practice. My son had never been here and asked if they had a meatball sub. The guy said walk across the street kid. Then went in the back and never came back.
My husband and I live in Clifton. I don’t know how many times we drive down to Fruita only to find out your hours are wrong! We don’t live around here so we don’t know what your hours look like and then your online says your open until 9. Update your hours or stay open. Talk about false advertising. I don’t even care if it’s your COVID hours you need to have them correctly listed. You’ve ruined my husband’s night I don’t know how many times. He claims your his favorites but we get frustrated waisting all that gas for something we have in Clifton.

Pizza Takeout
Domino's Pizza is a popular fast food chain that specializes in pizza and offers a diverse selection of other dishes and sides for delivery or carryout. The efficiency of their service can be impressive, but it may also cause inconvenience due to longer wait times during peak periods. Although they estimated a 50-minute delivery time on a busy Friday night, the actual wait was around 35 minutes. However, it is worth noting that some customers have reported unexpected encounters with drivers engaging in inappropriate behavior during deliveries.
Convenient. I am always thankful that Domino's is the one place that delivers out to Loma. I only use the App to order with. If there's a problem with the order quality, I go to the app and state my claim there. If there is a timeliness issue, I get an email from Domino's notifying me that they recognized an insufficiency and they preload a free pizza onto my app. It doesn't happen very often, but I appreciate the forward, proactive approach to customer service that Domino's shows in doing this. The food is what it is. As far as Domino's joints go, they do a great job!
Brian S — Google review
Carry-out pizza was much, much better than other Dominoes we've ordered from. Way to go, Fruita! Love the ease-of-use to order from the app, including the tracking of our order. By-the-way, Dominoes pastas are delicious also.
Had a Domino's driver , drive through our property over our irrigation system, tear up our back area, and then proceeded to tell us they were in a hurry..... and we didn't even order a pizza. Hire better drivers that can read when property addresses and signage is everywhere. Also did not appreciate the manager we called telling us that it wasn't a problem for this to have occurred :(
So twice now I had to cancel my order. Domino's tracker both times showed under 30 minutes. First time I waited 10 extra minutes, called to check on status and it was still in prep. Second I waited 45 minutes, same thing.....still in prep. This reflects very poorly on owner/operator. The staff can only do so much. The high turn over rate and problems with keeping workers, that's straight owner
I ordered a pizza and wings, the delivery driver Lindsey, was one of the politest people I've had the pleasure to meet... got here before the scheduled time and was very considerate and carefully about my order.
I would order from there again and request her for delivery... amazing young lady. Tank you.
Sent my daughter in to order. She came back out saying nobody would help her. So my husband and I went in to order. There was only one gentleman working, but he didn't even acknowledge us. We waited a bit and chatted with each other, looked over the menu (even though we already knew what we wanted), but still received no service. I told my husband I was going to the pet store and left. About 10 minutes later, my husband came up to me and said he was kicked out of the store for asking to be acknowledged.
They should get no stars tonight! Orded a pizza online and got home to find out we are not given the pizza we ordered and paid for. Called and the "manager" refused to take any action to resolve this we error as well as refused to give me his managers name. Disrespectful and unprofessional.
The best pizza in town by far, also great deals, they also have other food then pizza like salad and chicken and lots of other yummy stuff.

Love we can found this place in Colorado on the way to Monument National in the morning...
We choose chocolate chips bagel with honey almond cream cheese spreads and blueberries bagel with regular cream cheese...
taste good.
Choked down bagel with not enough cream cheese. Double gender bathrooms and toilet seat up with brown drips, could not bring myself to use it. I'm here early and lobby looks so filthy, I don't think we'll be back. Looking for new breakfast place in Fruita.
Went thru the drive thru. Took almost 20 minutes to get a single sandwich. Came out Cold with a single piece of bacon ordered the all nighter. Ordered an ice mocha. Came out unmixed. With all the chocolate at the bottom.
Had a fresh and tasty everything bagel from this chain. Lots of other unique bagel flavours to choose from too.
Once again I come in at 1:45 and you won't serve me. The blond guy at Friita wouldn't even turn around to tell me he's not going to serve me, just keeps on closing. Your food is too mediocre for me to come back for another slap in the face.
Good food and beverages, and friendly and helpful staff. Good rest room facilities.
Went to Einstein Bagels for brunch and they ran out of bagels. How does a place solely dedicated to bagels run out of bagels.

The food is delicious, and the attention to detail from the employees makes the dining experience enjoyable. The restaurant itself is always clean, enhancing the overall positive atmosphere.
This was my first time eating at a QDOBA. I was pleased with the options as you walk through the line and select your style (bowl, burrito, nachos, salad, quesadilla), protein and toppings. The food was delicious and very flavorful.
Chris J — Google review
Please 🙏 Would someone please get the message to Corporate so that all Qdobas get the message that corn tortillas need to be heated thoroughly to not fall apart. I have given up having tacos here because they don't heat the corn tortillas correctly, and they ALWAYS fall apart. You can't eat the tacos you paid for if they're in pieces. It sucks. Otherwise, the food was fresh, the place was clean, staff was lovely.
They filll your burrito! Runs laps around chipotle. So delish! They employees were super nice with my mobile order even when the line is to the door
Love that they have vegan options! The rice and bean bowls that you can make a burrito out of is enough for three meals for me. The best guacamole, many salsa's to choose from and it is all topped off with friendly service. We will be going back!
We came in with a large order - 6 different items - and they were still helpful and pleasant. I ordered a veggie bowl and the employee was kind enough to also recommend the impossible meat. Loved my bowl!
I was sooooo bummed they have discontinued the Mexican Caeser dressing. Please bring it back!
Location is hidden but the perfect place to eat at if you're driving by on your long drive to your destination! Service is great and food smells amazing

During a recent trip to Grand Junction from Salt Lake City, I stumbled upon Cattlemen's Cafe & Catering, and it turned out to be an absolute gem! Recommended by some friendly Harley Davidson workers, I was eager to try it. The atmosphere is warm and inviting with a charming country vibe that makes you feel right at home. On my visit, I indulged in their prime rib special—cooked to perfection—and paired it with a loaded baked potato that was simply fantastic.
🍳🍞🥓B-R-E-A-K-F-A-S-T😋👍😀
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This eatery is a perfect breakfast destination, open seven days a week (7am-2pm). It has become a beloved part of our Saturday morning tradition.
If you're seeking a breakfast venue that combines a laid-back ambiance with attentive wait staff, and great food, then this is the ideal breakfast spot.
Their menu showcases a variety of classic breakfast staples, including eggs, meat, pancakes, biscuits and gravy, chicken fried steak, and potatoes, available in hashbrowns or country style.
They provide other options beyond those mentioned and serve lunch, although we haven't had the opportunity to try it yet. Please see the attached images for a view of their menu.
It's worth noting that they offer both small and regular size portions, a feature I wish more restaurants would adopt. It's ideal for those with varying appetites.
They have another dinner location, Cattlemen's Bar & Grill, in Loma that we need to check out. I believe some of the waitresses work at both locations, so you may see them there as well.
The wait time, if any, is typically brief, and it's easy to get in and out. The waitresses are hardworking and attentive, ensuring everyone's needs are met. Every waitress we have encountered has been outstanding.
⭐️Our waitress, Ariana, informed us about their reward program, which is worth signing up for if you plan to visit multiple times. Although I'm unsure about the specifics of the rewards, I believe it involves earning a free meal after a certain number of visits. Thank you, Ariana, for the information. We did sign up for the rewards program.⭐️
They consistently broadcast rodeo events on their large television, providing a unique viewing experience. The ambiance is reminiscent of a quaint small town, and the premises are impeccably clean.
We highly recommend this establishment and encourage you to visit and experience it for yourself. We've tried other breakfast places, but this remains our favorite. Great prices too.
See you soon. 😀👍😋

My buddy and I visited grand junction from Salt Lake City and was recommended this place by 3 workers are Harley Davidson and we couldn’t thank them enough for the recommendation. Best place we have eaten at and I’m not even exaggerating. We went on Saturday night and got a booth immediately. They had prime rib on special, which we both ordered and it was the best we’ve had. Cooked perfectly! Loaded baked potato was fantastic as well. I’d recommend the jalapeño spinach dip as an appetizer. Staff was very friendly and seemed like it was family owned and was all around a great place to visit. Came home and told my family all about this place. I think it was the highlight of our entire trip 😅
Went and tried this place out after our kids' soccer game. Country feel, clean comfortable atmosphere. The decor keeps your eyes busy, friendly staff and good food. Not like a typical chain restaurant, lots of options to on the menu and good size portions. I thought it was very reasonable for prices. Noticed a patio walking in, I believe this is an option for seating. This place is worth checking out.
We entered this place by chance and we were very lucky. Really good food with a local feel. My breakfast came with a gigantic pancake and it was very good. This is probably the best gravy I've ever had, very creamy and tasty. Prices were lower and the food was great.
I called for a pick up order. I said I would hold, as they are usually busy on Sunday. I was on hold for 15 minutes. So, I thought they were really busy and that I'd just go in. Not busy. I let them know the phones were going straight to voicemail. She advised me that they are working just fine and that they were just busy. I called while I was sitting next to the phone and guess what happened?? Nothing, because the phone isn't working... Anyway, paid over $20 for my favorite meal there. I was SO looking forward to it and 10 minutes later my order was ready. Minus they forgot half of it. So, went back in for the missing item. Went to my car to check the order again so I could get home. The chicken fried steak was smaller than a hamburger patty, eggs were overcooked and the pancakes were almost half the size they usually are. If you're going to give me half the food that I usually get, I'd like to pay half the price. Can't say I'll be rushing out the door for Cattleman's Cafe again. Super disappointed...
Short staffed in the kitchen today caused a delay in getting our breakfast today, but one it arrived, it was hot and delicious. I had the biscuits and gravy with scrambled eggs, hash browns and bacon. Everything was cooked perfectly. Some of the best bacon I ever had, lean, not fatty nor paper thin. Bacon was cooked just the way I like it. Waitress was very friendly and efficient.
Awesome place for breakfast. Out of town and away from tourists! Great prices and tons of food. Will be back.
Thank you! Fueled me for a day of driving!
Terrible waited 40 Mins for our food. My wife got her food they brought me half my order. The server was nice but the cook needs not to stand around talking when you have customers. Sad thing about it there was hardly no one but one other group. We ask for to go boxes other wise we would have been late for a appointment. 35.00 for shitty service we will never be back again.

Been here twice now and the food is absolutely awesome! They are definitely working through some growing pains, especially with their ordering system. Having to stand around just to place an order—or even just to get a second beer—gets tiring. And as I’m writing this review, my beer was brought to the table unopened, leaving my husband to stand around again just to have it opened. That really shouldn’t happen. I hope they get these kinks worked out soon because the food is truly worth it!
Phenomenal!! The salsas are truly incredible and something to write home about!
This chorizo recipe is an absolute steal at only five dollars!!
And churros-what?! What a joy.
The chile rellano is perfectly balanced with thick pepper, oozing cheese, and neutral fry batter.
Chicarrones come with guacamole and that’s a pairing I’ve never seen before, but can no longer live without!
What an excellent spread and a stellar grand opening weekend. Well done!!
I got the quesabirria and my husband got the carnitas ! Fire all the way around! Service was beyond outstanding! The price was even better! Just moving here last August I've been looking for a place like this! 10/10 ! Give um a try if you can! We will definitely be back!
Went there with my family to have dinner last night. I was so impressed with the authentic tacos! Been years since I had some like that. Had the pork, chicken and pastor tacos. The pork and the chicken were my favorite! And the guacamole! Oh my gosh!!! Delicioso!!! The prices are super reasonable too so I think it'll be a frequent stop for us whenever we crave some delicious, authentic Mexican tacos. Dimitri, our cashier/server was great too! So glad to have a place like that in town!
Excellent tacos and generous portions! We each had a taco, one fish and one chicken as well as chips and guacamole. Probably the best taco I’ve had in a long time and guac was super! The menu is somewhat limited but service was quick. You order at the register and then food is brought when ready. They serve alcohol and have a happy hour! Highly recommended!
Well priced and flavorful food right in the center of town. Service was quite slow, it took 20 minutes for a single taco, but they’ll likely improve over time.
This place is way overpriced for what you get. We got 6 small tacos and it was $36! Hope they make it for their sake, but we won’t be back.

Usually stop by wave everyday! Love their sodas, and the staff is nice. Only reason I am giving a 4 star is because it's kinda annoying to get my reusable cup back with soda spilling down my cup and it becoming sticky. I understand them filling them, but at least wipe the cups off.
I think Quench is a great addition to Fruita and a great place to grab a tasty beverage as you go about your day. Prices are extremely reasonable, the selection is huge and the drinks are good. Their sweet treats are pretty tasty too. A lot of the drinks include artificial sweeteners by default which I don’t really like but just ask and they’ll change it out for you!
Amazing suggestions from the staff. I got the redbull with coconut, peach, and strawberry…. So good. Super cheap too! Better than Dutch bros!!!
If you ever go to this location DO NOT and I repeat DO NOT PAY WITH CARD! Their younger employees tend to tip themselves off your card, I had an order that was 11.15 ar the drive-thru then all of a sudden when i pull up to the window it was 23.40 and to top it all off THEY DONT GIVE YOU YOUR RECIEPT!, this happened at BOTH the Grand junction AND THIS LOCATION, don't go to wave unless you like a side of entitled teens giving themselves tips off of your money
It gets crazy busy but they have such a wide variety all delicious items. Especially homemade cookies
We stopped by on our drive to Moab and LOVED the drink choices and classic cookies. Well worth the stop on the drive - skip the gas stations, support something local
Love all of the drink combos. Everyone at the window is always really kind and personable.

If you are expecting a reasonable delivery time for your meal, do not order from this restaurant. My husband and I have tried the delivery service four different times and each time we are disappointed and frustrated. Today was the final straw. We used the app to put in an order for two sandwiches, two bags of chips and two drinks. The order was placed and paid for at 12:36pm. At 1:26pm, I called the store to find out why it had been almost an hour with no food delivered. I was told by Connor that they are “slammed” and the food had been made but would be for “at least” another 20-30min before someone would leave the store to make the 1.3mi drive to our house. Needless to say, I cancelled the order and asked for a refund. This has happened multiple other times at various times and days of the week. There is obviously a serious lack of management in that store as they are typically extremely disorganized. And they are definitely not “freaky fast”.
Ordered my sandwich at 6:39 pm, they called said they had to make more bread, 40 minutes later I called asking where my food was, was told she just left the store. 20 minutes later I called back, was told she didn't know how long till I would get. I asked fir the Corporate #, she said shedidnt have one. I FINALLY received my order at 8:06pm
This is pathetic
Went in to pick up an online order. Waited 15 minutes while watching the cashier, I belive his name was Jayden, have three of his buddies come in and order and he put their tickets ahead of everyone else's when there was already about 10 tickets at the counter waiting to be made. I finally got fed up and left and canceled my order through the app. I definitely will not be back if this is how the business in run.
Placed an order from the Fruita location today for 2 sandwiches with extra provolone. Got home and neither sandwich had extra. To top it off the cheese they did put on them was paper thin. At $2.20 extra for extra cheese this was a serious rip off. When Ily is there I always get what I pay for. I feel like for getting ripped out of $4.40 y'all owe me a free sandwich made correctly.
This location is particularly horrible - hence the review. Three young guys working, music blasting. They got my order wrong - no surprise there with the loud music. No apology. Maybe turn the music down so you can actually serve your customers correctly and with a shred of quality service?
always hard to feel good about paying 9 bucks for a few paper-thin slices of turkey and some shredded iceberg on a narrow bread tube. but sometimes on a long drive you just need something that isn’t fried, and there’s jimmy. on the plus side, the signage in this location was refreshingly light on the capitalist fables and hustle mindset exhortations
Absolutely crushed it tonight. Best sandwich ever (And I order every week) !
Kudos!

Nestled within the walls of a hospital, Flavors Grille is an unexpected culinary delight that caters to both staff and visitors alike. This charming cafeteria offers a menu filled with fresh, home-cooked meals at impressively affordable prices. Diners rave about their breakfast burritos and gigantic chicken quesadillas, making it a must-visit spot for anyone in search of satisfying comfort food.
When my mother was there in the hospital, we got turned on to this fabulous little cafeteria. They serve both staff and patients or just anyone who wants a fresh, home cooked style meal. Great food at a great price made by great people. And seriously, one of the best breakfast burritos I've ever had anywhere in the valley. Really a hidden gem and Fruita's best kept secret. 😉

saw this on a map and thought to check it out. first, it was in the hospital, which was a surprise. Secondly the food was great and the prices were quite a impressive. this is our new "go-to" place. if you've not been, go! we had a gigantic chicken quesidilla (which was a half!), cheeseburger and fries, all that was under 9 dollars!
The bacon cheese burger an onion rings is amazing. If your on a budget this is the place!. Never thought in a million years I'd like hospital food. Good job to the ones behind the counter thank you.
As far as H goes this is a cool place to get food. The food is fresh and good. Most H food sucks but everything here is good. Nobody likes to spend time in H but if you need a snack or lunch this is the place I go.
An excellent little cafe with tasty inexpensive food located in a hospital.
