San Juan Eatery brings the warmth of down-home Southern comfort food to the heart of the Rocky Mountains. This eatery blends rich Southern flavors with a cozy, mountain-town atmosphere. From crispy fried chicken and buttery French bread to hearty soups and bread pudding, every dish is crafted to make guests feel right at home. Whether you’re craving a taste of the South or simply seeking comfort after a day of adventure, San Juan Eatery offers a soulful dining experience that satisfies and delights.

San Juan Eatery is a reflection of Amanda and Eddie’s mission to nourish both people and animals. With every meal served, they’re not just filling plates—they’re giving back. A percentage of all sales will be donated to the Humane Society to help support the animals in our care.

A great big THANK YOU to San Juan Eatery for supporting the animals!
