“The Roost has excellent and welcoming staff, great drinks, delicious food, and a really cool atmosphere!“

“We drove pass Durango and found this place, the steak is really good, I guess Colorado mountains area is just expensive since they have a lot of tourism all years round, we didn’t have reservation but was seated quickly. The waitress even brought my dog some water. Great experience!“

“Wonderful food , staff and experience. Thank you Animas“

“This place knows how to cook breakfast and hands down knows how to use green chili. I highly recommend their omelettes, pancakes and most of all the green chili grits. Huge portions and super friendly staff. It’s a Durango gem!“

“I had a great experience that was facilitated by Roberto. He is an impressively talented bartender, and absolutely personable. You would be lucky to have him craft you a cocktail. I’m confident that he could please even the pickiest of drinkers. I look forward to being served by him again and seeing what he creates. Be patient if you are dining during busy hours. Quality takes time, and with Roberto you are pretty much guaranteed to receive a quality cocktail. Take this into consideration if your wait to receive a drink is longer on weekends or during dinner hour. You are paying for quality, not speed.“

“The atmosphere was so awesome and our waitress was great . The food on the other hand was WAY overpriced for what you're getting. Our steaks were tender but tasteless and were mostly grisle and the vegetables were inedible imo. probably won't return .“

“Carver Brewing Co nails that laid-back Durango vibe without feeling lazy or generic. I stopped in and ordered the green chili cheddar burger with the JackRabbit Pale Ale, and that combo just works. The burger had real flavor, not just heat for the sake of it. The green chili actually tasted fresh and balanced, and the cheddar pulled it together without overpowering everything.

The JackRabbit Pale Ale was a solid pick. Clean, slightly hoppy, and easy to drink alongside the richness of the burger. Nothing overcomplicated, just well-executed.

Cathy took care of us and did a great job. Attentive without hovering, quick with recommendations, and kept things moving without rushing us.

If you’re in Durango and want something reliable that still feels local, this is a strong choice.“

“All around amazing. Management, food, service and ambiance. Thank you for a great evening.“

“The friendliest staff ever, great food and drinks, awesome decor, and great entertainment“

“"🌟 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!

“Seasons is back and better than ever!
I have been going to this restaurant since it opened and gone through all its iterations but Executive Chef José Rios has knocked it out of the park. His Miso Sea Bass was the best Bass I have ever eaten, anywhere. It was magic, and my friends Steak Frites was perfect too. She also ordered a side of mayo ( of course, I mean why wouldn't you?) and it was obviously made in-house and luscious.
Good job Chef José!!!!“
