Cj’s Diner

Typical diner food. Nothing special. Great for a breakfast after a night out on the town.

Maybe I need to try this place again because I thought it was horrible! Got biscuits and gravy with bacon and scrambled egg. Biscuits were close to burnt, hard and the gravy was tasteless and even with the gravy it was jus t dry and cold. One piece of bacon was fine, the other burnt. Eggs were less than desirable. Noisy and cluttered. Coffee was just olé café coffee. I probably should give it a second chance given the other reviews but I won’t. Too many other wonderful places around.

Stopped by for breakfast after I made a trip to the airport in the wee hours of the morning.
The diner is super cute, especially because it is decorated with old pictures of Durango High School sports news :) Our server was nice, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. Hurrah for excellent service!
I ordered the western omelette with a biscuit which was very good; I was pleasantly surprised when the waitress asked right away if I wanted salsa on the side. Yes! I love salsa with my eggs and the side she brought was spicy and delicious.
Servings are large and yummy but my stomach hurt a bit after eating here, maybe too much oil? The bathrooms are nice and clean which is a plus :) Definitely a great place!

Cute little diner tucked away in a strip of small businesses. We had breakfast, an omelet for myself and hubby had a skillet. The food was wonderful and the service was super fast, attentive and friendly even with a full house. Well done

Amazing breakfast. The skillet breakfast is delicious. Green chili is yummy. Servers are friendly… coffee is hot!!!

OK. Let me start by saying, if I had to pick only one restaurant to eat at for the rest of my life, regardless of calorie intake or any other factor CJ’s would be my JAM! I Damn near live here every morning when I go home. In college this was the absolute best place to cure a hangover, they can cover nearly anything in green chile or gravy and it is sure to satisfy even the most sceptic or tenderest of stomachs. I rarely deviate from my normal order, the Brady’s Favorite with eggs over medium smothered in both green chile and gravy! But other life changing items on the menu include, The CJ’s Favorite, Santana’s Classic, Max’s Big Breakfast Burrito, Biscuits & Gravy or any of the skillets. You sure as hell aren’t gonna’ go hungry here either, portions are big and the atmosphere is covered with local Durango high school sports articles and team photos. It is a regular spot for locals and often times the college basketball, football and other teams. If you’re in Durango, even just for the day, don’t miss out on this local gem!

Hearty and plentiful diner food surrounded by memorabilia from America’s team. The portions were outrageously large with low prices to boot. Everything tasted delicious as it was smothered in green or red chili.
I enjoyed the chicken and beef burrito combo — it was so large that it ended up being three meals over the course of two days. The green chili was amazing and I was devastated when I ran out.

Great food and great service. I had an egg white omelet with swiss cheese and it was really good. Healthy and good… i like that!

Its my favorite place for breakfast. The food is always consistent and the girls are lovely. Oh, and theyre fast. I suggest the Bradys skillet.

One of the best diner’s on the planet. Bring an apetite.

The food was fresh and tasty. Friendly service and clean atmosphere. Lots of breakfast choices.

Wonderful restaurant to eat at with a friendly staff. They make you feel right at home from the moment you sit down until the moment you stand up!

The coffee is awful (considering this town is full of killer coffee, inexcusable really) and the biscuits and gravy are a bland cream gravy. Other than those two issues that I have with CJ’s I have to say I like the joint. They have very good service and are consistent with their cooking. The diner is comfortable and the food very good.
I need to explore the menu more since it is extensive and I get into a rut in what I normally order. I do not think you can go wrong with breakfast or lunch. I like their burritos and eggs are always prepared well.

Was in Durango for the weekend, ate there two mornings and enjoyed the «Max’s big breakfast». Food was very good! The diner is small and is seat yourself, the service is not the fastest but they are friendly. Still 5 stars

My favorite place for lunch in all of Durango! Their stuffed sopapilla is fantastic with green chili over the top. YUMMM!
My kids love the rosemary chicken soup and we even took a huge container of it home with us! Great service and friendly staff. Every time we visit I have to make a stop here.

Came across this place while road tripping — really great food and great service. Everything we tried was great. I know this just sounds like a bad review bad it’s true. I’ll add some pics too.
Cons: 100% white people? But it makes sense in this area.

Eat here every time I’m in Durango and always get the big breakfast burrito with red and green chili. Superb!!!

Great service — good food! Really nice little tucked away diner. My son says the Deluxe Burger is one of the best burgers he has ever had — and he is particular with his food choices!

The food is very good and the staff is extremely friendly.

Probably some of the best food from a diner in a LONG time. Two male friends and I would go to CJ’s often in between classes, so over the course of a year and a half, we basically sampled everything on the menu. And honestly, nothing sucked!
The waitress was fantastic! She was Johnny-​on-​the-​spot with our drinks… I’m pretty sure they were never empty. Our silverware was clean. Tables were neatly organized. Condiments were readily available.
Oh… and the tea — this place got it right. Usually when I order hot tea, I am given my choice of tea bags (cool), a thing of hot water (great), and the sugar, cream, and honey (awesome), but then I’m given a tea cup already filled with hot water (huh?). Okay, hear me out. If I’m given one tea bag, but have two things of hot water… how is that supposed to work? No. It’s supposed to be one tea bag per cup of hot water. I put the tea bag in the hot water container and let it steep for a while. But then the tea bag is too weak to let it steep in the tea cup, too. Boo.
But CJ’s got it right… only ONE thing of hot water. There was no confusing deciding, lol.
