Cj`s in Durango

BIG burrito, great coffee. Large dining room, decent parking. Closed at 2 pm.

The food wasn't too bad. The hash browns were really really good. And I enjoyed the sausage patties. I think the only thing that I wasn't totally thrilled with was the coffee. It tasted a little bit weak to me. But if you're looking for a quick hearty breakfast run by locals, this is the place to go. it was packed but I was able to get a seat at the counter which was nice.

It was my first time coming to the diner and honestly I don't know why I didn't try it sooner. The food was excellent and the portions were great. Definitely getting what you pay for. I reccomend trying them out!

Since coming to Colorado we have been greatly disappointed in the restaurants. This was our last stop and we were very hesitant. I'm beyond glad we gave this place a chance! The breakfast was beyond phenomenal and at reasonable prices. By far one of the best egg benedicts I've had and my husband enjoyed his enormous breakfast burrito! I highly recommend trying this diner!

Fantastic traditional breakfast food. No hipster frills, which is exactly my kind of breakfast joint! Definitely get one of their skillets! I selected Ginny's favorite with sausage gravy and I could not stop eating it, even though I knew better!

They have a great variety of breakfast dishes from French toast to omelets to eggs Benedict and even spicy huevos rancheros if you like. Friendly waitresses and quick service. Great lunch menu as well. Food is terrific. I just wish they were open on Sunday and dinner.

Wait staff very friendly, and efficient. The food was very good. My wife and I could not finish due to the large portion size. Great family place and environment.

American service from the old days!!!American sized service from days past at a great price point.Great food, great service, great pricing! Definitely a repeat location for breakfast!!

Hurray!!! They are open again. Missed the chile

I paid twice for the same order. I called and asked to speak with the owner as I’m not as ignorant as the people that took my order. Twice and told me it was someone else that ordered the same exact meal and sides as I did. I told them they were wrong and I wouldn’t pay twice for the same food. They said they had it all figured out and then never brought me my sides of mash potatoes, gravy, and two salads. I paid over 30$ for I swear butt ends of bread and meat.

It's a must for breakfast so very good

Service on the slow side. Server was nice but seemed overwhelmed. Food was fine.

Really good food, friendly staff, and nice atmosphere. Really recommend this place.

This is Texan approved breakfast! My family ate here twice and everything on the menu was great. The owners and staff are so friendly!

Best home town food. Customer service excellent. We have enjoyed this place for years.

Awesome place. Huge portions. Friendly atmosphere and nice people

The only thing not to love is its not bigger. The food is awesome, great variety and service is quick. When in Durango this a breakfast must!

Great atmosphere, wait staff and food is always top notch.

Nice people and great food

great food amazing service

I really enjoy going to CJ's. The food is fantastic.

Fast and friendly. Big portions. Reasonable prices. I had Ben's Favorite and it was unique -- in a good way.

Great place to eat

I found the prices to be amazing - if I ordered my meal in Northern Cali where I'm from it would have been ~$16. Cute atmosphere and good service. Food was great but not jaw dropping.

The food was terrible, service was bad and it wasn't even busy. I ordered a bacon cheese burger 11$ the burger was burnt stale bun a half piece bacon and maybe a pinch of cheese. Definitely 1 and dunn

Great food and friendly wait staff. And they have a good selection of hot sauces.

This is my go-to after early morning activities. Never disappoints.

Great comfort food for breakfast. I highly suggest this place.

Welcoming service. Great breakfast choices. Tasty meals.

This should be a must stop for anyone. It has very friendly staff the food is fantastic with large portions it has a great atmosphere. You can no go wrong starting your day at this fantastic diner

Friendly staff! We all got biscuits and gravy and they were amazing! Definitely fresh biscuits! Shared a yummy pancake for dessert. Cozy spot with that "everybody knows your name" vibe!

Disappointed. I had the bagel sandwich and hash browns - the hash browns were unevenly cooked and even cold in spots. The bagel and sausage were of low quality, similar to the institutional stuff you would get at a hotel's free breakfast buffet. I recommend Carver's instead.

The service was incredible! Everything we ordered was thoroughly enjoyed. From the eggs Benedict to the BLT, the CJ's favorite, or Kristen's grilled cheese, we loved it all. Definitely get the green chili fries and a cobbler.

Great food and wonderful friendly service. Local favorite!

Great place for breakfast, the food was delicious and Jane was so friendly and helpful, really made us feel at home! This is my go to place when in Durango!

I was on Vacation in Colorado for 8 days recently and was craving a good home cooked Breakfast. I asked around and was told to go to CJ’s. Ended up being the BEST advice ever! The food is AMAZING and fresh with huge portions and great prices. But let’s talk about the service, OMG! We had a waitress (Katarina) that was by far the best waitress We’ve ever had. There was 10 in our group and each of us had a “special” order of some kind, every morning she would have all of our drinks the way we liked them on the table waiting for us and she remembered all of our orders from the day before, she was phenomenal and super friendly! She made suggestions for the rest of our trip that ended up being spot on! On our last day she treated us to a couple cinnamon rolls that were to die for...save room for one. Definitely an A+ all around.

Good food and friendly portions with great community involvement!

Great hot breakfast!! Jerry came out and talked with us!! Always good to see folks we graduated with !! Go have a good breakfast and relax!!

The skillet with red chili was exceptional! Great food, service, and atmosphere.

Great service, excellent food! I recommend the Santana's classic with both red and green Chile!

This is the kind of place where the waitress calls you honey and the owner comes out for a chat when taking a break from flipping eggs. It is packed with locals and the coffee cups are bottomless - it feels like you could stay and visit for as long as you have time. We had had a taste of CJ's food at a catered event the night before and couldn't wait to come by in the morning for breakfast. We were not disappointed. It feels great to support locally owned businesses in the incredible town.

Great food at a great price! Better food than you can cook at home, and they support local sports?! Can't get better than that!

ALWAYS a great experience!! Great food & Service!!

Awesome little place. Even during the great pandemic of 2020. Biscuits and gravy were awesome and so was the French toast. You gotta get their green chili here. It's amazing.

Great place as always. Affordable and delicious food

Nice waitstaff but very average food.

Amazing food and owners. I just have to say that the waitress was incredibly rude. Like talk about no effort at all, it was actually kind of shocking. I have been told by other people that all the other waitstaff is awesome except for this particular girl. Otherwise food was great! Highly recommend.

We had a great breakfast here. Maybe the best in town. We met the owner - Jerry - who invited us to a firefighter benefit. The Max's big burrito was one of the best I've ever had - and I'm from Texas. Omelet selections are awesome, gravy is good. Go here.

Great people Great Food a great place to start your day..

Excellent diner. Just go, you will not be disappointed.
