We stopped here after visiting Dinosaur National Monument. I got the Beccasaurus sandwich and I am not exaggerating when I say this was one of the BEST SANDWICHES I HAVE EVER HAD. The ice cream was AMAZING. Five stars, absolutely worth the stop. read more

Wonderful woman running the place. The ice cream is divine. She makes it all and will tell you about it. The best sandwich I've ever had! We had to wait a bit but it was so worth it! read more

This cosy diner is a gem in the desert town of Dinosaur, Colorado with good panini sandwiches and ice cream, particularly the fresh plums one! The owners are a nice couple who prepare the food while you browse their cool crafts store and engage in friendly chat. It's the last pit stop before heading to Harper's Corner in the Dinosaur National Monument for epic views of canyons where the dinosaurs roamed once! read more

Ice cream is made here and is AMAZING! Tried the cinnamon and chocolate, also had a taste of the root beer.

Let's talk about... ice cream! Hopefully this review will be picked up from the other towns. We drove up here to Dinosaur from Rangely (20 miles) based on a recommendation from a local down there when we asked where to get some good ice cream. The lady who runs this place hand makes the ice cream and there are six to eight flavors. This ice cream is excellent. It is worth the drive. read more

BedRock Depot - the front of the store - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Dinosaur, Colorado

Super cute stop for our trip! We came from Dinosaur National Monument and we're headed to Breckenridge. We have a dino-lover in the group, so it was super exciting for him in particular! There are souvenirs to grab, food, and ice cream. The only seating is outside. Worked well for us on a fall day in October. The kids all had grilled cheese. The adults had tuna melt, allosaurus, and Reuben. Staff was super friendly, and they brought our sandwiches out to us. Only reason for four instead of five stars is because the sandwiches were good but not outstanding. Would we go back if driving through, though? Probably. read more

Places like this are the fabric of small town America. I needed a cup of coffee and a quick souvenir- they had e a rly what I needed! The Americano was cheap and delicious, and they had vinyl stickers to commemorate the town. They also served sandwiches and had a very tempting ice cream counter. The woman was friendly, helpful, and quick with service. Stop on by when you're driving through! read more

Ambiance: 3/5 Service: 5/5 Food: 4/5 Leaving Dinosaur, swung in here for a lunch. Women running the place were friendly as can be, gave directions to Steamboat Rock overlook and talked geology. Seating was outside under an awning. A bit buggy but we were grateful for the shade. We had a range of sandwiches: Reuben was excellent, tender and flavorful meat, toasted crisp. Turkey and avocado was similarly fresh and tasty. Homemade ice cream was terrific. An oasis. read more

Super cute local eatery with a very friendly owner who even made our dogs feel at home in their outdoor seating. Loved their drink selection not what we expected in such a quaint little town read more

Well well well WELL well. What a delightful little gem my roadtrip/bestie/life partner and I have stumbled upon right outside of the Utah side of Dinosaur Natty Monument. BedRock Depot is a gift shop slash sandwich counter slash soda fountain slash perfumery slash t-shirt store slash ice cream experience ("real ice cream only though, none of that nanby pamby soft serve nonsense" - quote from owner bill). My friend and I ordered two fatboi sandos at the front window, and chatted with bill as we amounted an assortment of manic souvenirs unlike any roadside stop before has offered (we've been on the road for a week, can you tell??). My palaroni bought herself a Dino Tshirt with some freshly printed comic sans lettering, and I grabbed myself a plush triceratops and a sticker that I immediately lost in the car. Anyways. As we waited for our sandwiches, Bill fixed us up with a couple-a iced coffees loaded with caffeine and misadventure. The sandos came out in about 15-20 minutes, and were scarfed in a matter of mere moments. The wait for the food was meandering and semi-chaotic, but totally worth it. Leona uses fresh ingredients and the result is simple, filling deli-made goodness. Both of us recommend stopping to see Bill and Leona if you want a real understanding of what ''mom and pop'-style genuine America is like. No pretension, just decent coffee, good food, and trinkets to bring back to your loved ones that make little to no sense at all. BedRock is, truly, the best place to stop in Dino, CO. read more

She makes the most amazing ice cream!! The one she creates snd mixes different flavors is a must try gor sure!! Very nice and the giftstore is great read more

We stop in this place every single time we come through (only been about 6 times, I'm from St. Louis area). This place is not what you'd expect from a tiny, very rural town called Dinosaur. First, they sell souvenirs. The souvenirs are not tourist trap pricey. Most of them are Dinosaur themed (who'd thunk?). Second, the food. Oh my god...the food! It's pretty much all sandwiches, but the sandwiches are awesome! I'm not sure I've ever run across a grilled vegetable sandwich where eggplant was the main "meat" of the sammy until this place. Every sandwich we've tried has been spectacular. Third...ice cream! Not your typical fare. The owners make it and it is superb. They get pretty adventurous with flavors (lady finger ice cream anyone?). Fourth...the owners. Absolutely sweet people. read more

Top notch! We had the veggie burger, the veggie sandwich, grilled cheese...and something else. We were looking for something after our second wonderful day in DNM and were thrilled this place was open. Nice patio (although we ate in our car with the windows down because of sleeping kiddos). Service was friendly, like very friendly, and the food was seriously SO GOOD! Fresh veggies, good balance of flavors/sauces/etc. Fair prices. Just overall a great experience. read more

We asked the locals and this is the place to eat. Nice people, great service and handmade sandwiches. They Have a full coffee bar and real Ice cream including a rhubarb flavor. The bathrooms are clean and there is a small gift shop. Must stop in at least for a soda, coffee or scoop!!! read more

BedRock Depot - Chicken salad sandwich on home made wheat roll. Free Dino mug with check in as seen in background!! Great place to stop! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Dinosaur, Colorado

Absolutely an awesome find! Incredible my delicious (and tasty) sandwiches - but you must have a shake, malt or ice cream. We stopped while camping at DNM, and then stopped again the next day on our way out. It is incredible - food, character, friendly service. Had a great vanilla malt the first day and asked Leona about a milk/honey malt the next day and got a lesson on flavoring - she suggested not putting malt in the milk/honey ice cream and she was spot on. The place was definitely an old corner gas station and gives you the sense of being in a Mediterranean cafe via Route 66... Another customer ordered 4 malts and gave a $10 tip (40%) and the older man with bad eyesight asked if she meant to do that - and she emphatically said yes. Great place!!! read more

Such a great little find in Dinosaur! We ordered two cold sandwiches from the to-go window (one gluten free and one with a potato roll). The sandwiches were sooooo good! Packed full of meat and veggies--definitely worth the money. The older gentleman who took our order was so friendly and gave us tips on DNM. Then Leona brought out the sandwiches with a great big smile. We didn't try the ice cream or espresso, but I'm sure they're just as good as the sandwiches! read more

If you ever find yourself in NW Colorado (or even NE Utah), it'd be best if you drove through the town of Dinosaur -- mostly because of the town's name and prehistoric theme. BUT ALSO BECAUSE: Dinosaur's gem is (by far) the Bedrock Depot. It's sort of an all-in-one, down-home little place run by a very friendly older couple. --large coffee selection --homemade, unique-flavored icecream (a sugar cone of Merlot please!) --gift shop --freshly prepared (upon ordering) sandwiches and wraps Everything about this place is either tasty, wonderful, or dinosaur-themed. Example: I'm drinking coffee from my Bedrock Depot travel mug as I type. It is terrible, terrible coffee, but it tastes almost decent. DO YOU KNOW WHY? read more

I feel like Yelp let me down on this one. 1. Overpriced. Roughly $7 for a small cold sandwich with about 4 oz of very average quality meat. You have to decide the ingredients on an order form similar to Which Wich, but without nearly the number of choices. I guess I could have more value if I wanted to put more sauces on the sandwich, but come on. 2. No kids options. Your kid will have a $7 sandwich too, which means you will have the option of finishing half of a sandwich with just meat and bun. 3. Flies. Dozens of them joined us for lunch, due to the outside garbage can. No bug zapper, just 25 flies buzzing around your face while you eat. The sandwich was basically the same quality as what my mom made me for lunch in middle school, which isn't saying much. Entirely forgettable, but it appears to be the only place in 60 miles. Keep driving. read more

It looks like just another roadside souvineer shop but don't be fooled. This small place cranks out some very nice sandwiches (I could use "gourmet") and a variety of coffees. I can also attest to the authenticity of their malts: real ice cream, real malt powder. To order a sandwich, go past the counter and look in the window for the order slip. This form let's you customize every aspect of your sammich. This stopover (right next door to s Conoco) was an unexpected treat. read more

This place is the only place for miles to get any sort of food or drink, so we were not expecting much. We were referred by the park ranger working the visitor center when we made our way into Dinosaur National Park. She suggested the fresh homemade ice cream. We ended up trying a little of everything this place had to offer. Between my group of friends we ordered a custom made sandwich by filling out one of their convenient little forms, a strawberry milkshake, as well as 2 scoops of ice cream (butterscotch and chocolate.) All of the above were a lot better than we expected in this lonely little establishment. The sandwich was made on quality bread with surprisingly quality ingredients. The meat was stacked high as well as the fresh spring mix that was also piled on. The sweets were a great treat in the hot mid-day heat. The chocolate ice cream was the perfect milk chocolate lacking any sort of bitterness and the butterscotch was equally and great. The owners were amazing in giving us a local's idea as to which hikes were worth doing and specific sites to see during our stay. This place is also a souvenir shop! Although we were not looking for anything to take home, I received a free travel coffee tumbler for checking in on Yelp! read more

My husband and I went to Dinosaur NM and were hungry when we came out. Nothing available in Jensen, so we went to Dinosaur. Where it is placed on the map is wrong, because we almost missed it. The food is very tasty. I had the hallosaurus, and my husband had the Rueben. No chips or drink as we did not need it. Total price ~ $16 Great outdoor seating, store was nice. They can get a little slammed. We got there before there was a big group and it took a while to get our hot sandwiches. But the store is neat place to look. Even the bathroom was nice. and the music they had on was calming and enjoyable. I do not know if we will be back, but if we are, hopefully they will be there. read more

This place offers quality ice cream and coffee at a reasonable price. My family stopped by after a trip to Dinosaur National Monument. I believe the person working the counter was likely an owner, and she kindly warned me off of a double scoop for my youngest child, but split a single scoop into "two" scoops so that my youngest could believe she was having just what her older brothers were having. I grabbed a latte for the road, and almond milk was available, which I thought was an unexpected plus. The latte was great. The place was very clean, and the ice cream was divine. It was a crowded little place, and it was just what I would hope for with a stop like this. We didn't order food, but the sandwich menu looked good! read more

Stumbled upon this place today while driving east from Dinosaur National Monument. Quaint little mom and pop shop with a gift shop inside where you can order sandwiches and then sit on the patio to eat. The food was a little bit pricey but well worth what we got for the family. I highly recommend trying it and be sure to try the ice cream! read more

Great sandwiches, awesome outdoor patio and a fun gift shop. If you every find yourself on Brontosaurus blvd stop here! You won't be disappointed read more

BedRock Depot - Delicious sandwiches and a free mug ;) - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Dinosaur, Colorado

The sign says "Awesome Sandwiches." For once, there is truth in advertising. I had the chicken sausage hot sandwich with a yellow pepper and pesto. Delicious. My daughter had the vegetarian sandwich. It smelled amazing. My son enjoyed a simple peanut butter and jelly. Everyone had ice cream while I had an iced latte. The ice cream was creamy and delicious and the latte was perfect, not bitter like many roadside stops. read more

Absolutely delicious sandwiches!! We stopped here for lunch after visiting Dinosaur National Monument, 2 adults, 2 kids. Kids both got the make your own sandwiches and loved them. Husband got the grilled cheese with spinach, peppers and onions on it and raved about it. I got a make your own sandwich on toasted gluten free bread. GF bread isn't usually good, let's be honest, but I have a gluten sensitivity so I have to do it. This bread was so, so good! Good flavor, didn't crumble, I really enjoyed it. Plus, the turkey tasted nice and fresh. I should have specified light on the Dijon mustard but that's on me. We wanted to have ice cream but we were all too full after the sandwiches! Lovely older people running the place and they were so nice. Definitely worth a stop! read more

Giving two stars because the owners seemed real nice and good selection of tourist stuff, but, whatever you do, trust me, DO NOT GET THE RUBEN SANDWICH. It not only didn't resemble a pastrami sandwich but it didn't really resemble anything edible. The root beer float was good. Sorry for the bad review cause they were really nice but that mess of a sandwich almost made me ill. read more

Best sandwich we've had in a long time! Homemade rolls, home grown produce and great meat and cheese! And the ice cream is to die for... HOME MADE OF COURSE! read more

We were hungry for a good lunch and were thrilled to find this sandwich shop out in the middle of nowhere! The sandwiches were wonderful, as was the homemade ice cream. I'd definitely go back again -- if we ever got out that way again. read more

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this place! My husband and I recently discovered this little eatery on our way home from Vernal, UT and we've been back twice since then. BedRock has the best homemade ice-cream, and the assortment of flavors always seems to change, which I love. I've not tasted the lunch options, but am excited to do so. BedRock sells diverse and unique gifts. It's an eclectic little place, and it's wonderful to see they sell Christian gifts. We recently moved to Rangely and will drive the 19 miles to eat there! read more

In need of something refreshing, I stopped by BedRock today when it was 95 degrees. After ordering an ice cream, owner Bill told me the story behind the town of Dinosaur! Highly Recommend stopping by on your was through town!! read more

Out here for work and I always stop here for a chocolate shake! They're really friendly and the shake is delicious.

BedRock Depot - Turkey sandwich on home made potato roll! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Dinosaur, Colorado

if you're anywhere near Dinosaurland UT/CO, go here! The owners are a joy to talk with, the coffee was amazing and the ice cream was delicious. I had an 'Amerisaurus' (americano) made with what had to have been the best espresso I've tasted in a very long time. By far the best food/drink stop within 50+ miles of Vernal. read more

A great little place in the middle of nowhere! Dinosaur is a tiny settlement, and the Bedrock Depot is a gem. Great ice-creams and made-to-order sandwiches, and an espresso machine serving decent coffee. Bear in mind this is not Starbucks or Subway - it's a little business run by a lovely older couple - so things may be a little slower, but well worth the wait :) A wonderful experience if you're on the way to see the dinosaur bones. read more

Unexpected oasis of excellent sandwiches in the middle of nowhere, homemade rolls and homegrown veggies!
