From the moment that slow, sweet perfume of hickory hits your nose in the parking lot, you know you're in for something special. The brisket? Melt-in-your-mouth magic -- bark so smoky it could write poetry, fat rendered to perfection, and a flavor that lingers long after your last bite. Ribs fall off the bone with just the right tug, kissed by sauce that's tangy but not overpowering. Even the sides are knockouts: creamy mac 'n' cheese, coleslaw with actual crunch, and baked beans that taste like someone's grandma still stirs them by hand. Staff treat you like family -- the kind that actually likes you -- and the atmosphere feels like a backyard cookout that never ends. Don't sleep on their burnt ends or banana pudding either; both could win awards. If you only have one BBQ meal left in your life, make it here. Hands down, best damn BBQ place ever.

One of the few dinner options in the area and an excellent choice…read more INTERIOR/AMBIANCE: We arrived soon after opening and were seated quickly. There are a moderate number of seats available, but the restaurant filled up quickly. Clean interior, basic decor. FOOD: Very limited menu, no alcohol. We ordered the ravioli and sage chicken. The ravioli was delicious with a nice cream sauce, we enjoyed the addition of the sun dried tomatoes. The chicken was also delicious, stuffed with a mixture which included sage to impart more sage flavor. The chicken dish was accompanied by a generous scoop of flavored rice and Brussels sprouts cooked with dried cranberries. OVERALL: We were very pleased with the meal and full afterwards. Service was good. Overall solid meal!

We had the crabmeat "boats" for an appetizer, which was a halved avocado (2 boats - one per half) overflowing with the crabmeat and jicama shreds, flavored with mango sauce, cayenne, and paprika. It was superb!!! My husband had their signature burger, which also had a delicious array of seasonings and mango sauce on a pretzel roll. I had their salmon, which was a generous slab of salmon accompanied by asparagus and roasted cauliflower (I opted to switch the potatoes for cauliflower). Honestly, this was a special meal for us and Duke's made it an excellent evening.

It was creamy and milky and not overwhelmingly sweet. The drunken noodles were also fantastic, it was chewy and flavorful and had lots of thai basil in it. The basil really brought out the dish, it was minty and herby and really counterbalances the heaviness of the dish and acts as a palette cleanser. I do wish the beef was a little more tender though but the taste is perfection.

I ordered the house salad with pulled pork on it. My husband ordered the pulled pork sandwich with onion rings. We were both happy with our choices. My salad was fresh, the cucumbers and tomatoes cut into small pieces, plenty of meat on top, and two containers of delicious thick ranch dressing. I had to ask for the tortilla chips that came with it. My husband had to ask for pickles. Both minor things. Service was fast and friendly. Our server checked back with us a couple of times. There was a lit-up bar area, several tables, and a few tv's to watch. They also have outdoor seating. The restrooms were outside. Everything was clean. If we were local, we'd go there regularly.

The outside of the building is very colorful. High Desert Cafe is a coffee shop, gift shop and diner all in one building. We first checked out the gift shop area before getting our coffee. They have a number of shirts, blankets, jewelry, local stones and art for sale. High Desert Cafe has two separate counters - one for coffee and tea drinks and the other one for food. The food menu has a variety of sandwiches, burgers, salads, breakfast items, smoothies and ice cream. It was early, so we ordered breakfast burritos and coffee on it. The kitchen staff was nice and chatted with us while they cooked our food. There is a small dining area where you can eat your meal when it is ready. High Desert Cafe is a nice hidden gem to stop by if you are passing through Monticello.

They had a ton of different, classic options to choose from. This is your typical drive-in burger spot. The staff gave some suggestions, which I appreciated since it was my first time there. My group ordered the chicken fried steak sandwich, the fish sandwich, sweet potato fries, and the jala bites. The food was hot and tasted good. I know you're wondering why we got fish, but I wanted something light! It didn't taste fishy and was yummy for a random joint in Cortez. The jala bites were a personal favorite, as they seemed homemade. It wasn't a classic jalapeno-cream cheese situation, but instead involved chopped jalapenos, nacho cheese, and it was all fried with a crispy outer shell. I'd come back for those alone! I'd definitely come back and try more. The price was fantastic too.
