Robbin’s Nest

Walking in, you can tell this is the real deal. We stopped in for lunch while camping nearby. Bill greeted us and gave us a quick rundown on the history while Jordan took our order. Everyone was friendly and helpful. We had the lunch burrito and a crispy relleno with green chili. Bill makes some of the best green chili I've had in Colorado. He credits that to his living in Santa Fe. We will be back!

Food was fine, service was slow. We came into a mostly empty restaurant. By the time we left it was full. There was a table the came in after us, ordered after us and they got there food before us and left before us. I think our 2 plates sat in the window a little long. I like my food hot.

A Perfect Stop After a Long Journey After two weeks in Central America, my husband and I were exhausted and starving when we stopped at Robin’s Nest Cafe in Fairplay – the perfect halfway point on our 5-hour drive home from DIA. What a find! The comfort food here is cooked to perfection. I ordered the breakfast burrito, and it was everything we needed – generously filled with eggs, bacon, home fried potatoes, and cheese, all wrapped in a soft tortilla that made it easy to eat. The portion was so large it fed me for lunch, then my husband for a mid-afternoon snack! Our server Abby was incredible – she seamlessly moved through the restaurant taking orders, delivering food, welcoming guests, and bussing tables with such efficiency that she made it all look effortless. Her friendly demeanor ad

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 ch

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.
