“We split the El Moro Burger and fries and we asked for the burger to be cooked medium. The burger was a little undercooked. The burger was seasoned nicely. The fries were done well ahead of the burger and they were barely lukewarm. We received excellent service from the two young gals working the tables in the bar area. We walked 4 blocks from our hotel to the restaurant. I didn’t see their own parking lot.
Note:
1. They automatically add a 20% tip to the bill. We almost always tip 20% for descent service. The servers missed out on a higher tip because I was taken back by their policy.
2. I ordered a Sprite and got a refill. I was not told there is no free refills and I did not see this on the menu. I was charge $8 for two Sprites. This added to me not leaving a larger tip. The servers lose out because of questionable policies.
3. I evaluated the food, service and atmosphere on their own merits and these issues did not impact the rating I gave.“

“We stumbled upon this place when the place we had picked out was actually busy. The atmosphere is fantastic. Brick walls. Offset lighting. Fantastic ambience.

Serving staff was extremely professional. We had a serve by the name of Nick. But as we looked around the restaurant and noticed their entire staff and Chef crew in the back that you can see from your table are very professional. Very unique for a tourist town.

We chose the Chimayo bread for an appetizer. It was fantastic. Way better than Texas roadhouse dinner rolls with a very unique butter/honey Spread.

My wife shows the cauliflower steak. Extremely well prepared. Cauliflower was a 1 inch stick slice of cauliflower with roasted cherry tomatoes, zucchini, wedge, tomatoes, shaved Parmesan, and a very nice light seasoned sauce on top. Fantastic.

I chose the flatbread steak sandwich because of the reviews and the recommendation by the server. It was also fantastic. Made with their pizza dough. Stuffed with roasted bell pepper, onions, mushrooms, steak and a very nice sauce. Like a calzone except that the bread wasn't closed over. It was fantastic. .“

“What an awesome spot to stop and eat! We were visiting for Labor Day weekend and happened to pass by while exploring downtown with our dogs. We decided to grab dinner here and were so glad we did. The food was excellent, we loved the chowder and Sockeye BLT. A bit random but the Ranch was exceptional, like really truly good. Our server Lanie (I hope I spelled that right! Call me out if I didn’t) was great as well, very friendly and attentive. We will 100% be coming here on our next visit!“

“"🌟 Extraordinary Experience at Rupert’s in Durango! 🌟 Living with a rare form of celiac disease (#Only20kInUS), finding accommodating eateries is a gold mine! Today, breakfast at #RupertsInDurango was not just a meal, but a celebration of care & culinary delight! 🍽 Imagine my joy discovering a menu dotted with #GlutenFree tags! Yet, after a minuscule bite of my chosen dish, we realized there was a tiny mislabeling issue. Anxiety washed over me, but not for long... 🌈 Enter the superhero owner of Rupert's! With swift action and genuine concern, the mislabeling was corrected on all menus right there, on the spot. The unexpected bonus? Our delightful breakfast, infused with savory Bloody Marys, was graciously comped. 🎁 Not just an apology, but a demonstration of customer service excellence unfolded before our eyes, turning a minor hiccup into a memorable, heartwarming experience. #Ruperts not only amazed with their rapid & caring response but also with their efficient, friendly staff and delectable, speedy service. Each bite (post-correction 😊) was a symphony of flavors, validating Rupert's as a beacon of superb dining in Durango! Drop by for an unforgettable experience, where the food is as incredible as the people serving it! 🌟#MustVisit #DurangoDiningDelight #CustomerServiceWin"“
