Reviews
It’s a combination market and restaurant. When you walk in, you’re in the main dining area and you order at the counter. They give you a number and you go sit down, either inside the dining area or in one of a few tables outside. The outside area is very pretty if the weather is nice, which is most of the time. The dining area is pretty cramped, but good for some interesting people watching. Because there aren’t very many places, all sorts of characters come into this place!
Both days we were there, the service was kind of slow. There’s weren’t that many people working, and a lot of people waiting for food. The first day I had biscuits and gravy, which was so-so. The biscuits were rather tough, but the eggs and gravy were tasty. The second day I had a smothered breakfast burrito, and that was fantastic. I really like their red chili sauce, it was more of a sauce than in pure red chili. Very delicious, and the inside of the burrito was good as well, chorizo and eggs and other goodies.
Coffee is self-serve, and there’s lots of interesting mugs from the area, which is kind of a fun experience to choose from. I tried several of the blends and they were all pretty good.
There’s also a large market in the front, and you walk through that if you sit in the outside area. If you need some Staples for your cabin or camper, this is a great place to go. We bought some ice for our cabin, and the prices weren’t horrible. It’s definitely more expensive than the city, but they don’t gouge you badly.
Anyway, this is a good spot for breakfast if you aren’t in a hurry and don’t mind trying out a few things before you find your favorites.
Also, the whole place is kind of grimy and feels like it could use a good pressure wash, and I mean inside.
local, what could go wrong. I got the biscuits and gravy my husband got the veggie burrito. It may say “homemade” but unfortunately I think that just means they bought the cheapest products and cooked it at home. The gravy, was terrible. Cheap and bland. The biscuits tasted like an off brand canned version and the sausage like a Jimmy dean product. I can’t believe how tasteless the gravy was. Everything there also just has a thin layer or filth. seemed like it all just need a real good wipe down.
I’m all for lil’ country restaurants like this but when the napkins come wrapped with old tickets used to prepare orders. I’m put a little out of my comfort zone. And trust me. I grew up in a small town of 300 and just felt like this place was musty and dusty.
To be fair, I did have a Chocolate chip pancake and that was pretty decent. Although, I’ve never had a restaurant serve me melted margarine in a cup instead of a scoop of butter. It was definitely an odd choice.
We will unfortunately not eat here again but if you’re looking to challenge your tastebuds (and your stomach) maybe try it out. However, if you’re near and are looking for an actual good meal, the country market is not that place.
It would of been cheaper even with gas prices to go to Durango to grab those items and that I will do for now on and if you don’t wanna go broke supporting one local family I would advise you to do the same.
