13 Best American Restaurants near Mesa Verde National Park

“Staff was super nice. They had five people kolln sick so they were very few waiters. Trying to serve the entire fully booked restaurant. Food came a little slow, but that’s to be expected with the massive understaffing. Our waiter was very polite. Food was OK a little bit dry but kind of what we were expecting. The short rib quesadilla was delicious. The cauliflower was OK. Wish it had more cheese. They were out of the beef short ribs, but were substituting pork spareribs, which were decent but a little dry and really hard to eat because they weren’t separated so you basically had to try to cut them yourself or just eat off of the whole rib, which was really messy chicken was a little dry, kids burger was a little dry as well.“

“The folks working in this cafe were super friendly! We ate outside on the patio. The food is made to order, so it’s hot and delicious when you get it. We had the grilled cheese sandwich with fries which were delicious to eat without ketchup.“

“Great food, great view. I can’t remember the exact name, maybe Mesa Verde Taco or something like that. It’s their version of an Indian Taco with fry bread. Very good! Lots of tables and wide open space between the cafe and gift shop.“

“Great food and service! The sliders were great! The tea was delicious. Eating outside was great! Our waitress and cook did an awesome job.“

“I've had so many wonderful meals at The Farm Bistro and made some great memories with friends and family while eating there. I especially like the Chicken and the Egg salad (my lunch time go to) and the Harissa chicken sandwich with that yummy pretzel bun♥️ I Highly recommend The Farm Bistro!“

“Not your average diner. The full menu even includes Eggs Benedict. The Chorizo Benedict is a refreshing take on the traditional theme. Service is excellent. Nice to see happy people these days. Of the four days we were in Cortez, Beny's had the best food.“
