My husband and I stopped here after visiting Breck for the week. Boy, we should’ve stopped here every day of our vacation! Bill & Jennifer were both so friendly and awesome! The food was fresh, hot, and AMAZING! Hands down the best green chili and biscuits/gravy I have ever had. We will definitely be back! Do yourself a favor, if you’re looking for something delicious - you have to stop here. The atmosphere and food are 10/10! Thank you again for everything
Michael Phelps. LeBron James. Wayne Gretzky. Muhammad Ali. Sometimes there come people, and things, that stand out above all else in their respective disciplines. The greats. What relevance does this have here you ask? These pancakes. I'm a sucker for a good diner, and I've eaten pancakes across hundred of diners all over the United States, and none have ever compared to these. On a rainy morning at home, I think about them. On a flight out of town, when my belly grumbles, I think about them. Any time I get the chance to stop in fairplay when I'm traveling throughout the state, I plan out my day so that I can get there well before 2 pm to ensure I get a few of these flapjacks. If you've read this far, I implore you to take a roadtrip, call an Uber, start walking, WHATEVER YOU HAVE TO DO TO TRY THESE PANCAKES.
This place is awesome. Bill the owner is wonderful and so friendly. The staff is kind and cheerful. And that cook from Alabama can sure make some fantastic biscuits and gravy. We were in town for 3 days and ate there twice!!!! Highly recommend this place.
Wow! Wow! Wow! This was such a great experience. We stopped in on our way from Denver Metro to Durango and so glad we happened upon Robin’s. Upon entering the owner came up, greeted us, had us sit down and enjoy absolutely amazing coffee while taking our to go order. Bill was so friendly and really made our entire day bright. He shared about the business and town and food! We really loved the whole experience. The atmosphere is very friendly and open. Everything is well maintained, clean, and nicely decorated. They even sell little crochet animals that are done by a local woman in the community. We couldn’t help but buy a small ram!We were lucky enough to have Robin herself cooking during our visit! We ordered a Rueben, a breakfast burrito with sausage, and green chili, and a children chicken finger lunch. O.M.G. The Rueben was out of this world! I’ve had Rueben’s all around the country and world and this was definitely in my top 5! What a surprise! The green chili was delicious. I personally don’t like green chili and I ate about half of my husbands it was so good! Everything is fresh, made from scratch, and just plain delicious!The owner even spoke with us about some of the history of the green chili making and about where they source their meat and things. Really great quality!They have a very nice and good selection on their menu and pricing is very reasonable.I recommend stopping here if you’re passing through and definitely make this a regular spot if you’re a local. Our daughter hasn’t stopped talking about us stopping by on our way home!Thank you Bill and Robin’s nest for a wonderful experience and meal
Kelly B was an amazing waitress! And great food! Highly recommend!
Went for breakfast but was teased by the Chile Relleno option.. it was amazing!! Best Chile Relleno I’ve ever had. The servers were on top of it & all looked happy to be working there.
If I could give all 10Stars, I would!You walk in to be greeted as if you are a part of the family.The service is beyond white glove service.The food is always fresh, cooked to order, nothing frozen, and Ridiculously delicious!I will make it a point to stop by each and every chance I get!You will NOT be disappointed!!
