For a few weeks, Twin
Rocks Café, down in Bluff, was closed for reconstructive surgery. Seems this old established restaurant was
looking for a younger, fresher look; so popular in today’s society of Botox and
collagen injections. After hearing they
had reopened, we hightailed it down to Bluff to see the new do; but alas, the
bandages still covered the façade. The
wintery weather, all of San Juan County was experiencing, was making the
healing process go slow.
At one time, the interior
dining area was “L” shaped, but now it was a three sectioned area; great for
closing off a private party area when needed.
Where patio seating used to be, it was now enclosed with large picture
windows to allow in more light, and outdoor viewing. During cold weather, or rainy days, diners
would be comfortably warm, and dry, while enjoying Twin Rocks’ fresh made
meals. The patio tables and chairs outside
had been moved further down towards the gift shop; good strategy to entice
those outside to come in and buy.
It was a Saturday night
and the specialty was Prime Rib (12 or 16 ounce) with potato, grilled
vegetables and choice of soup or salad.
Two of us went for this goodie; tender beef perfectly cooked to your
desired taste; fluffy baked potato, or homemade, red skin, mashed potatoes; an
assortment of grilled vegetables with just a touch of seasoning. My husband, Roy, ordered the Country Fried
Steak which he described as “just right”; breaded coating not too light, but
not too thick. A mildly peppered gravy
which enhanced the taste of the steak and mashed potatoes, instead of hiding
their flavor. Our good friends, Amy, and
her father, Richard Watkins were with us; he ordered the Fish and Chips which
was lightly bread, flaky fish and crispy, fluffy French fries. Dessert, not tonight, as we had pigged out on
Twin Rocks’ deliciously addicting Chicken Wings and Onion Rings for appetizers.

Service at Twin Rocks Café
is always welcoming, friendly and with a smile; any concerns are taken cared of
immediately. Dining is leisurely; no one
rushed out just to get a high turn around rate.
Happy diners are a must; no matter if the person is a local, or visitor
from another area, the management wants everyone to come back!!! Locals come from all over San Juan County to
eat the mouthwatering American and Navajo cuisines offered on the menu. Thrilled voices hailing greetings to friends
and neighbors filled the air; even former mayor of Monticello, Doug Allen, and
his family were there.
