“"🌟 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"“

“I rolled in looking like a dog's dinner after driving 8 hrs. I'm sure they thought I was a hot mess. I was graciously given a table for one and had an amazing dinner. The green chilie stew was rich and hearty ( I grew up in NM and it's flavors were true to form..smokey green chilie, just the right amount of cumin), spinach salad with grilled chicken added was perfect. It was not drowned in dressing and the chicken was perfectly grilled. The wait staff was attentive. Thank you for welcoming a silver-haired, solo female traveler. Much appreciated.“
