Grand Junction Colorado Wants to Eat at These Restaurants

Grand Junction, Colorado residents are unbelievably loyal to their favorite restaurants. Yesterday I asked, "If you could eat at only one Grand Junction restaurant for the rest of your life, what would it be?" Here's what you had to say.

There's nothing in the world like customer loyalty. I had no idea people were so dedicated to particular restaurants. It appears as though once a restaurant has earned your business, you can't imagine going anywhere else.

Favorite Restaurants In Grand Junction Colorado

Check out the gallery below and you'll notice a handful of restaurants dominate the list. This really isn't that surprising. Drive-by Texas Roadhouse on any given night and the place is packed. Loyal patrons have no problem with waiting 45-minutes for a table, not when it comes to their favorite restaurant. The same can be said for several other Grand Junction businesses.

Why Do We Keep Going Back to the Same Grand Junction Colorado Restaurants?

According to posist.com, a 2019 Food and Service Report conducted by NRAI found 23% of consumers go back to the same restaurant due to the quality of their food. At the same time, close to 16% say they keep going back to the same restaurant solely out of habit.

Interestingly, only 7% return to the same restaurant due to the quality of service. Bringing up the rear at 3% are those who revisit a restaurant due to the ambiance. This I can understand. It's highly unlikely I keep visiting the snack bar at the Grand Junction Sam's Club due to the ambiance.

Grand Junction Colorado Restaurants Which No Longer Exist

It appears as though once a restaurant has your loyalty, they have it forever. Several people chimed in with restaurants that have been out of business for years. Several people commented they would love to visit Talley's again, even if it meant for every meal for the rest of their lives. For no particular reason, I would love to visit Marv's in Orchard Mesa one more time.
