Loungin' Lizard

This lounge has an excellent stop with fairly priced drinks and an excellent kitchen and menu!

I came in right before dinner and ordered the spicy crispy chicken sandwich with a Cesar salad and was very pleased with my choice. The sandwich was excellent, and the salad filled me up.

I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in Cortez!

This place is the best. Their menu is exquisite. On a chalk board. Nachos made for the perfect bite each one. Spicy Thai chicken lettuce wraps with pizza and beer. Lou's Chocolate cake with the caramel. What are you talking about.? Then you can go see Mesa Verde. Don't go anywhere else if you're in Cortez.

First experience was great.
Returned again and was not disappointed in the least. This time the blackened Maui Maui tacos and loaded fries. I had eaten one of the tacos before I remembered to take the pic because it smelled so good. Flavor was not disappointing. Thin light chips with a little flavor were excellent side. Always more food than I can eat even though I didn't think I ordered much. Staff is super friendly!

The first sign this was going to be a good experience was the sign out front thanking our veterans. Memorial Day, America! The people working here were all very nice. The dining room manager was tops and very involved in all aspects of the business. The food was phenomenal! Eclectic menu. I had a very messy but off the hook Cuban sandwich, the pork belly was to die for. The French fries were perfect—crispy on the outside. My husband had the bison burger with pork belly on it. We were both very satisfied. Highly recommend!

Absolutely amazing taste with some very relaxed employees. The service is truly something to behold, and the staff are extremely friendly. Tons of options on the menu, so you'll get a great variety no matter what. The food is excellent, and it's some of the best I've had. Extremely family friendly, but also great for large parties. Bathrooms are extremely clean, and furniture is comfortable. I found myself stuffed after eating here, and will definitely be going here again soon.
