“Went deer hunting in the Bookcliffs north of Fruita and went into town to grab some supplies and found the Strayhorn. The food was good and the service was good as well. I went for dinner one night and had Katie the bartender wait on us and she was awesome. I then had to return for breakfast on our way out of town and had Anastasia wait on us and the breakfast was awesome as well. Being a Maitre D in Lake Tahoe for over 20 years, it's nice to go to a new place and have good food and a well established wait staff that servers the customers the way they should be served. I will be going back on my next trip through Fruita. The Strayhorn definitely put the WTF (welcome to Fruita) in Fruita. Thanks, Sizzle“

“This time I went to this Cafe for breakfast, I ordered a dish that consisted of scrambled eggs , a ham steak and hash browns with a cup of coffee the food was good but a little on the expensive side compared to other restaurants, the place has room for about 50 people and was serv by one waitress for the whole restaurant, when I was there, there were about 15 patrons, food was good but not great, it's very basic Cafe, the service was good also, the waitress check on you for needs you might have , like need more coffee or anything else you might want, the atmosphere was ok, only one thing , the waitress was loud when she was socializing with some of the patrons but it's a public Cafe and not everyone is quiet. The decor makes you believe as you were at an old time restaurant, with decorations of past history on the walls , very nice touch. I will rate this restaurant a 8 out 10 for overall presentation, food being good but, on the pricey side, for the service that was great , atmosphere good too, but to me it was a little on the noisy side, but I took in consideration the type of place it is , a public place, I been to other small coffees and it is almost the same but, I will recommend this Cafe to anyone looking for a different type of small restaurant so, give this cafe a chance to serve you good American food, also the Cafe offers special, so the waitress will mention the special of the day, the Cafe opens from 6 am to 2 pm. This place reminded me of the cafes that used to be by or close to highways , at that time I rather dine at a local cafe because the food tasted great and the service was great, so I will be back to the Outlaw Cafe again. So my friends bon appetit and enjoy and if you like the service the atmosphere ,the food and the service, don't hesitate and share it with friends and family.. Happy Trails to you.“

“We had a wonderful lunch today at the restaurant and I don’t know when I’ve ever had such great service, beautiful views, and a wonderful meal. Dining outside on your beautiful patio was delightful. Love the renovations that you’ve done on the patio that makes it so enjoyable. Keep up the good service and the delicious food and I will be sure to recommend The Ocotillo restaurant to all my friends and clients. Paula SCANLON“
