“Benny's Diner hit the spot!
We got seated right away, and our food came out in no time.
We ordered mozzarella sticks, biscuits and gravy, and two breakfast burritos.
The mozz sticks were hot and crispy, and those burritos? Amazing – the green chili sauce is a must-try!
The only letdown was the biscuits and gravy; they were just okay.
However, our server was on point!”

“Great service and Good coffee”

“Had an extremely delicious dinner here last week during our Colorado trip. Food was incredible and our waiter outstanding. Sat on the patio which was delightful. Definitely recommend Shiloh!!!!!”

“Great and HUGE breakfast burrito. Awesome blend of coffee too, though I tend to be a "I'd like a little coffee with my creamer" kinda gal, so yes I had to add a little more cream to my iced coffee.”

“The interior of the restaurant is amazing, lots of plants and an excellent theme.
The staff were very kind and I couldn’t ask for better wait staff.
The food was okay, little under seasoned and the rice was well over cooked.
The margaritas were delicious, I had the guava and prickly pear and preferred the guava though both were good.”

“Very friendly employees and always delicious ice cream. This location sells Rocky Mountain Chocolate, too. I’ve been here many times during my visits to Cortez and always look forward to returning for a treat!”

“Best restaurant EVER. Feels like home & all staff are so warm & friendly & real! Their food is what you wished your Mom could have made… I have never had a bad meal there in the 27 years I’ve dined here. Rick & Carolyn are wonderful, kind, hardworking people & without any pretense or guile. Just wish I lived in Cortez so I could eat here EVERY day! Carolyn’s baking is awesome & she does make the best carrot cake I’ve ever had. All their food is so good! I try to plan a way I can get to Cortez to enjoy their food each week if I can. If you get the opportunity & haven’t dined here & want a warm, homemade meal, this is your place. Put it on your must stop restaurants to enjoy if you live or visit Cortez, you won’t be disappointed.”
