We came for breakfast durng a trip to visit our son in Durango. Very popular, and the parking lot is small, so finding a spot can be challenging. While we were fortunate enough to find a good spot, our son had to park down the street. Despite being crowded on a Sunday morning, and the place being small, with limited seating, we were shown a very nice corner table by the window. Our server was a very nice woman, athletic-looking, with glasses. She did an excellent job of taking care of us, and was very warm and friendly. My wife had a veggie scramble; I had the breakfast burrito. The burrito was large, with eggs, hash browns, and your choice of meat; I chose sausage. It was smothered in a tasty green chile sauce, along with sour cream. Very delicious, though I might ask for a red sauce next time. So far, Rupert's is our favorite breakfast spot in town. read more

Absolutely phenomenal breakfast. I got the breakfast burrito with chorizo, smothered in their house-made pork green chile, and it was seriously one of the best breakfast burritos I've ever had. Absolutely packed with flavor and worth every penny. The vanilla latte was excellent too. They have a legitimate espresso setup right there, and you can tell immediately that this isn't just basic restaurant coffee. The latte was smooth, flavorful, and exactly what I was looking for. What really topped it off was the service. Everyone I interacted with was kind, courteous, welcoming, and genuinely seemed happy to help. Even though they were extremely busy, my to-go experience was easy and pleasant. After a frustrating breakfast experience somewhere else in Durango earlier this morning, Rupert's completely turned my morning around. Fantastic food, excellent coffee, great people. I'll absolutely come back whenever I'm in Durango. That breakfast burrito alone is worth the trip. 5/5. read more

Wonderful little breakfast spot. We found it this morning as we were searching for a good breakfast burrito. They nailed it! Great breakfast burritos! My wife and I each ordered ours smothered in green chili. She had chorizo, and I went with the slow roasted pork. They were both outstanding. The green chili is some of the best in Colorado. These burritos are now tied with our favorite breakfast burrito in the state. We visited on a Friday morning in August. It was busy, almost every table was full, but we were sat immediately. Our server was friendly and attentive, and the food came out timely. We won't forget this place when we visit Durango. I forgot to take a picture before I started to dig into mine, but here's what a half eaten one looks like. read more

Rupert's Durango - Breakfast Burrito Smothered in Green Chili - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Durango, Colorado

We happened upon Rupert's at lunchtime on a rainy Monday. We were greeted right away and then quickly seated. They were super-busy, but very organized. My husband ordered breakfast: eggs, chicken fried steak, biscuits, gravy, & potato cakes. I ordered the pimento cheese bacon burger & fries with fried pickles on the side. The biscuits were soft & delicious. My burger was really good. My husband enjoyed his hot chocolate, too. We'd absolutely recommend this for breakfast or lunch. Cute signs & fun toasters on the wall made for cute atmosphere. read more

Holy cow was this breakfast great and SUPER fast! We had an order of biscuits and gravy which came with two eggs and two potato cakes. One of the best meals in Durango! We also had a frittata which came with a spinach salad and potato cakes which was expertly prepared. Everything was delicious and the food was ready in five minutes! It was a to go order that was picked up and packaged very well. They took great care putting the gravy in its own container and the eggs in a totally separate box. Clearly this restaurant has a high attention to detail from prep to delivery! I would def put this on your list for breakfast and repeat visits. read more

Amazing diner vibes! Good service, extensive menu, good for takeout or dine-in. Try Rupert's if you haven't already

Breakfast so good I visited 3 days in a row!!! Highly recommend the breakfast burrito. Staff is friendly. Great options and good prices. Can get crowded on the weekend mornings but a 15-20 min wait is worth it. read more

Excellent breakfast! Huge, Hearty and Healthy! Great service and fun atmosphere. A must return when back in Durango

NPO since 8 pm day before I was ready for some food and caffeine since diagnostic testing was over. Came to Rupert's based off reviews....they didn't disappoint. What a hopping cafe. I ordered the vegan French toast and a side of bacon. Having a severe egg allergy makes breakfast choices out limited. The cinnamon on the French toast gave it the right crisp plus the maple syrup was spot on for my taste buds. The bacon is thin strips which aren't my thing I prefer thick cut bacon. It has a few counter seats and then as many tables as can be put inside for seating. Turnover of tables was quick. Many people came and went. I enjoyed my hot tea and read while I ate. read more

We had a great breakfast at Rupert's in Durango! Eggs, bacon, potatoes and a sweet treat for dessert (although, we were stuffed and took it to go)! Great coffee and ice tea as well. Clean and cozy with great service! Get there early to avoid the crowds. However, table turnover was quick. Thank you! read more

Tried Rupert's on an early trip home from CO to AZ. It was amazing! Got there at 8am on a Sunday and it wasn't busy at all. Great service, quaint small space. The food was amazing, I had the Southwest Benedict and it was delicious, particularly the green chili! Yum! Hubby had the breakfast burrito with pulled pork- also scrumptious! Really good experience passing through Durango ! read more

Had to take the truck to Ford because a chipmonk chewed thru a wire. Sigh. It was 10am and breakfast sounded good. Found this nice little place. So cool inside with crazy toasters on the walls. Also seating outside. Service was great and with a smile. I had the Animas breakfast which was bacon and eggs with 2 delicious potato cakes and wheat toast. Very good. Coffee good. The wife had corn beef hash with 2 over easy eggs on top. She loved. I knew it as soon as I read their menu. She likes different stuff. They also make breakfast drinks but alas, we had to drive 3 hours back to Creede so had to pass. Someone got a burger for lunch that looked good but was huge. read more

Hit this place up on the way out of town. We had to wait a half hour due to this place being popular, but we had a large group of 7. Once we sat down though, they were super fast handling all of our orders and requests! I really enjoyed my Truffle Scramble. I like how they make it so easy to personalize their scrambles. I added ham, mushrooms and avocado to mine for slight additional fees. My husband enjoyed his steak and eggs. We ordered their special chorizo bread pudding entree and a shareable because we couldn't resist that savory and sweet option! I highly recommend the vanilla chai latte. One of the best ones I've ever enjoyed! My friends ordered that too once they heard me order mine and tried mine. The ambiance is cute with the varied toasters hanging on the walls. As a Star Wars fan, I was glad they included one with the Millennium Falcon! read more

A local favorite! Visiting Durango every once in a while we usually stick to restaurants within walking distance of main street but during our last visit, a worker in a local store asked if we'd ever been to Rupert's because they had the best chicken fried steak and banana nut French toast - so that's exactly what we did and we'll always go back! The restaurant is near the edge of town, tucked away. It's small, so it seems to fill up quickly but the wait wasn't too bad. We had the best server! He was happy, friendly and very busy as he was juggling lots of tables but didn't miss a beat with refills, checkins and answers to all my questions. But don't take my word for it, try it for yourself - plus, here's a couple photos that speak for themselves... read more

Rupert's Durango - Eggs Benedict - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Durango, Colorado

Deliciousness! I had the Southwest Benedict. The eggs were softly poached to perfection. They kindly asked if that preparation would be acceptable. Hubby had the Huevos Rancheros and added pulled pork. Both dishes were packed with flavor. The pulled pork on both was so moist. I read they are known for their potato pancakes and they have a right to be. The service was great. Coffee and waters were kept filled and they checked on us to make sure we were happy with the dishes. We sat outside with our two dogs. It's not a picturesque patio as some outdoor patios are, but we were glad to be able to have our dogs with us. We will definitely return. read more

I stopped by Rupert's late on a Monday morning and it was nearly full. That was my first clue that this would be a transcendent breakfast experience. I sat at the bar and perused a broad yet reasonable summary of options before choosing a spicy eggs Benedict. The house potato cakes were a revelation, combining the crispy crunch of hashbrowns with the smooth goodness of mashed potatoes. The eggs were nicely poached, the sauce was pleasantly spicy and it was all gone too soon. Service was friendly and the food came out quickly. No notes!! read more

Didn't expect the coffee to be one of my favorites in town! Food was awesome as well, we loved the banana bread French toast

MiL and husband says the corn fritter with the southwest eggs Benedict has a corn fritter topped with pulled pork, poached egg, and hatch green chile salsa is amazing/exceptional. I had the build your own scramble with pancakes. Really OMG good. Much better than Oscar's. Cannot say enough about how good the food is here. Service is fast and friendly, excellent. And the ambiance is unique. Toasters on the wall of all different types from hello kitty to Darth Vader. Highly recommend! read more

I came here with a group of 4 others during the peak busy hours for breakfast. Although there was limited space they were highly accommodating, and managed to find seating for us. I ordered the French toast, which wasn't too sweet (just how I like it). The menu was expansive, with many vegetarian options. Parking here is a challenge, so be sure to come early. read more

Great spot for breakfast or brunch! We stopped here around 9:30 and it wasn't super full. We got sat pretty quickly but it filled up fast. The inside has some cute decoration but it's actually a pretty small space. The food was great - I liked the Benedict and the potato pies that came with it. read more

Best brunch on our 10 day road trip. Solid eggs Benedict and bloody Mary's. Fun vibe. Good server. Everything was good as it should be.

THIS IS NOT CJ's and Ruperts is anything but "The best of Durango" Yes, I totally miss CJ's and the diverse crowd that used to frequent CJ's in the mornings along with Jerry, making the rounds and talking to the regulars. Rupert's menu only has about 20 items on it and if you like the fact that all of the food is overcooked, maybe you'll enjoy it. The server might note that the bacon isn't soft/limp and the eggs with brown on them were not lightly scrambled or soft because whoever takes your order is usually too busy gossiping at the counter and a runner brings out the food. Servers don't wear name tags and they've never introduced themselves but regardless, service is poor and they'll take your order and deliver the check but don't expect much in between. I recently did a business transaction and because we discussed business over breakfast, the other party only assumed that I liked Rupert's as much as I loved CJ's and I was given a $75 gift card to Ruperts. Because they can't do limp bacon or lightly scrambled eggs and because their sausage gravy is about the worst I've had with way too much black pepper and not enough sausage or other flavors, over a year had passed before I finally tried to use the $75 gift card from my friend. My friend purchased and printed the gift card online and when I went to use it for two meals ($48), in spite of having a confirmation code on the paperwork, it did not have a 12 or 16 digit code for the server to look up and she said she couldn't run the card. I suggested calling the owner (Tim) in Boulder and then the manager got involved. He failed to introduce himself as the manager or by name and said that he needed more numbers to run the gift card. He offered no other remedy or recommendation of how we should proceed other than me stopping back to talk to the owner later in the week. We spent $48 on overcooked eggs and crispy bacon that we couldn't send back because our server never checked on us after the food arrived. Admittedly, the Eggs Benedict is always nicely done and so if you don't mind poor service and spending $25+/head for breakfast, they do know how to poach an egg. My friend that gave me the gift card would be heartbroken if she knew that the card didn't work and I'm out $48 for an inferior meal most of which went to the dogs. I'm annoyed and I'm angry that the manager that didn't introduce himself made no attempt to remedy the issue or offer an alternative other than checking back every day for the owner to pop up. I've frequented the address for Ruperts for 20+ years and it is anything but, "Durango's Best" and in the unlikely event it wins best diner for 2025, definitely check out the Durango Diner, Denny's or Oscars before trying Ruperts with won't offer much more than poor service. Don Weyls I tried to upload a copy of the gift card but it wouldn't upload but it has a conversation number on it, the givers name along with mine. Please email me for a copy if my review that might seem too much but keep in mind, in three years I've eaten at Ruperts about ten times and this review is a culmination of all of those visits. My email is first and last name, no spaces at gmail dot com read more

My husband was looking for restaurants with any type of vegan breakfast option, and when he told me about Rupert's having vegan french toast, I was already in the car. They were delicious and his potato hash was fantastic as well! We love having a good vegan breakfast option and this is easily the best one in the area! read more

Rupert's Durango - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Durango, Colorado

Rupert's is your pretty standard breakfast diner place, friendly staff, regulars hanging in their corner, and the smell of eggs and pancakes in the air. I got the deluxe steak burrito. The steak wasn't too exceptional and was pretty standard for a breakfast burrito. What stuck out to me was the potato in the burrito was soft, almost to the same consistency of a mashed potato. The smoothness of the potato made it easier to incorporate into each bite. The pork green chili and red chili weren't very spicy or stand out in any way but did make a nice flavor mix when combined. I wish it was spicier though and had to add some Cholula for some more spice and flavor. I got a glass of orange juice that was way too average for $5. Might be improved if gotten as a mimosa. I'd recommend it here if you are looking for a suitable breakfast place. read more
