Living out in Fruita is amazing. The scenery out there is beautiful, and it is maybe a ten-minute drive away from Grand Junction. It is also nice and peaceful out there.

But the one thing that surprised me the most when I moved to Fruita was the food. There are a few places around Fruita that I think make extremely good food.

I am gonna let you in on my favorite places to eat in Fruita. I guarantee that when you try these places for yourself you will not be disappointed.

The Hot Tomato has some of the best pizza I have ever tasted. The Hot Tomato starts every pizza with handmade dough, using the freshest local ingredients. Both in their pizzas and salads. The crust on these pizzas is amazing, even with all the toppings it never gets doughy. I love the supreme, it's the best, there is no better tasting pizza. If you haven't tried the Hot Tomato then you really need to because you are missing out.

Judy's Family Restaurant

This place reminds me of going to grandma's house. Judy's Family Restaurant has the best breakfast and lunch I have ever had, you have to try their delicious breakfast burrito smothered in green chili. If you're not a breakfast eater, then you will love their chicken fried steak sandwich. Whatever you get here you will be going back for more every time.

If you like to eat Chinese food then Dragon Treasure is the place to go. This place is by far the best place for Chinese food anywhere. My favorite thing from here is the egg drop soup. I have never tasted anything better. Not to mention the fried cheese wontons were insanely good. Please go to this place the next time you want Chinese food. The drive to Fruita is worth it.

If you like beer, sports, and live music then Suds Brothers Brewery is the best place to be. My favorite thing to eat almost every time I go is the pulled pork tacos. The flavor of the pulled pork is so good and putting it in a taco makes it even better. If you want to try something a little out-of-the-box while you are there, the goddess burger will inject your mouth with flavors that will drive you crazy. Did I mention that they put truffle oil on this burger? Your taste buds will thank me.

Munchies

The last one on this list I think is my favorite place to go In Fruita -- Munchies. I have yet to try everything on their menu but I haven't found anything I'm not a fan of. My personal favorite is the Philly Burger, it tastes exactly like a Philly steak sub. I can't forget to mention the au jus, it makes it perfect. If you're like me you like to dip your fries in ranch, they have the best ranch I have ever had. The pizzas are also incredible, huge slices loaded with toppings. This is my go-to place to take my family for when I don't want to cook.

All these places I have mention have seriously some of the best food I have ever had anywhere. Let me know which is your favorite.
