Great spot in Grand Junction for breakfast and lunch. I've never eaten lunch though. Food is great and the service was excellent. Our server was extremely busy, yet fast and attentive. Expect a wait. Pufferbelly gets busy and after you eat there you will see why. It is a family restaurant so it can get loud.

The old Union Station houses the #pufferbellyrestaurant. At first glance the large windows look like paintings of beautiful mountain scapes. As the Amtrac train pulls into Union Station the large picture windows come alive with it's passengers heading off on there excursions. King sized cinnamon rolls, hatch green chili gravy over pillowy soft cats-head sized biscuits, they have the standard and not so standard breakfast combinations. Delicious food and home made goodness you won't want to miss.

We stopped here early on a Saturday morning for breakfast. The service was fast and the staff was super friendly. The food tasted amazing and the portions were big. The prices are very reasonable for the amount of food you get.

My wife, son and myself came here for Fathers Day breakfast 6/21/26. This is our first time to Grand Junction, and what a wonderful experience this was. Heather was our server and she was over the top wonderful, great attitude, attentive, and despite being busy made us feel like we were the only ones here. Food was amazing, we split the biscuits and gravy after the monstrous cinnamon roll.

I heard a lot about this place, and I'm glad I was able to eat here on my second visit to Grand Junction. Everyone loved their food. The cinnamon bun was the best I've ever had. My breakfast burrito with spicy green chili was excellent - everything inside was perfectly cooked. Heather explained everything well and was personable and fun. We'll make sure we eat here every visit, if at all possible.

Order two breakfast burritos from pufferbellies. The burrito is very good. The hash browns were good. But it was supposed to come with green chili. And it was not smothered in green chili. The delivery driver was great. March 28th 2026.

We made a reservation for a group of 6. They were ready for us when we arrived. The waitress got our orders quickly and the food was delicious. The portion sizes are huge.
