We ate at JJ's about two years ago when staying at the Pogosa Hot Springs Resort and the food at that time was over priced, over cooked and the service was poor. We said, "never again."Well we checked into the Hot Springs Resort today and was told to try JJ's again, they had new owners, it's been remodeled and they're... more

We walked in on a sunday around 11am for breakfast. The place was not crowded at all. there was a group of about 12 people on a business retreat/meeting having loud discussion. We were seated right away but told that because of this "big group" our order would be a little late. he drinks came pretty soon. After about 15... more

Been here a few times when we come to town. Service and food quality have gone down over the years, prices have gone up. Won't be going back anytime soon. more

We went to JJ's while honeymooning in Pagosa. Upon arrival, we had very high hopes. This was quickly changed when the waitress FORGOT OUR APPETIZER! The ice water, although having a large wedge of lemon, tasted like dish water. The wait staff was very nice...but this hardly makes up for the standard quality and subpar service. I would recommend Kips... more

My heart goes out to the very nice staff at this establishment. We spent an hour waiting for our dinner. Had an appetizer which was slow to arrive. The meal was so slow, the waitress tried to appease us with bread. When the food finally arrived my chicken and dumplings was just the dumplings. We complained about the wait and... more

I ate at JJs about 4 years ago and remembered it to be a must-repeat. Well, this last visit certainly changed my mind. I recall from the first time I was there that the elk was truly fantastic. The cherry reduction sauce was just a hint sweet, but perfectly balanced by the gaminess of the elk. My son, therefore, ordered... more

We pride ourselves in offering the best food, drinks, atmosphere & service available and at reasonable prices. I would like to personally apologize for any guest dining experience that did not meet the standards of excellence that we strive for. I was unavoidably absent this year for days and weeks at a time during the months of May, June, July...

My wife and I and another couple saved this dinner for our last night in Pagosa Springs where we finally sprang for an Elk Tenderloin meal. It was expensive but the meal was maybe the very best Elk meal I have ever eaten. It even exceeded my prior best at Falstaffs in Boulder years ago which I have sited as... more

Always surprising when you read recent reviews, having had an opposite experience. My cousin, her fiance and I had a lovely lunch on the deck overlooking the river (?) on Sunday, 9/27. We had three different meals: penne w/ spinach, french dip sub and eggs benedict florentine. We were all very pleased and enjoyed our just-personable-enough waiter. No complaints at... more

Looking forward to a nicer meal out on our recent Pagosa Springs vacation, my husband and I chose JJ's. We arrived and were sat quickly. Things went downhill from there. Service was painfully slow. The crab bisque was good, but lukewarm on arrival. The calamari was one large lump of calamari all fried together. The tuna was delicious, if a... more
