This is one of those places you miss unless your looking for it. Met Chris the owner, super nice person. This place is great, TV’s everywhere for Sunday game day. The food is fantastic! We went through two orders of Mac and Cheeses bites. Service is quick and very responsive. The ambience is lively, well lit and enthusiastic. Highly recommended

Way too expensive for the quality of food I got. Wings were huge but soggy. Very disappointed.

A really good chicken house! Onion rings are hand cut and breaded in house. Tenders are great albeit not too big. Prices aren't cheap but food is really really good... Downside is there's never anywhere to park without walking a decent ways. Wish the owner would work out something with a delivery service... I know 15-20 people that won't even patronize the place due to parking and thats a shame!

We had decided to try this location due to the reviews we were hearing and my son craving some wings, as we had arrived, there was a lady in front of us who was stating she had a big party of 12. I'm a very patient person especially having come from the service industry I understand they were trying to accommodate the large party. We waited patiently being a party of 6 for us to be acknowledged-when they were done setting up their tables a server had come over and stated we could sit down thinking we were with the lady's party, we stated we were a separate party of 6 and are waiting to be seated. They worked on getting our table set and we were finally seated. take in mind the big party in front of us had not arrived and only 2 people in their party was present. Our party of 6 was all seated and ready for service. Unfortunately we were ignored and the server from what I could see a waitress were the only 2 serving guests. Understandable...they proceeded to get the 2 guests-again their whole party was not there, their drink order. About this time we had spent about 20 mins waiting. Finally our server had come over and gave us utensils and stated our waitress would be over to get our drinks and orders. The big party arrived and the server started taking care of them, our waitress after waiting 5 mins finally came over and gave us menus and took our drink order. we waited another 8 mins before she had returned with 5 drinks not 6, we were missing a drink, she stated she would return with the missing drink and to take our order, she was apologetic which was fine, I can be nice and patient to a certain extent. I knew they were busy, after a good amount of time of not receiving the last drink or our waitress returning, I turned to observe what was going on and where our waitress had gone. I seen her across the room talking away to another set of guests, I stared until we made eye contact and thinking her seeing me she would at least remember she was serving us? I also noticed a 3rd server had entered the establishment, he was also taking new orders from what I could see- the waitress did not in fact come over or remember we were waiting, I gave my son my drink, he brought to my attention he didn't like Diet, I tasted it and realized she had also given us the wrong drink, I could see her making her way across the dining room only to stop at a single individuals table who just barely sat down and proceeded to take his order, This is where I started to get upset because being ignored then being patient and kind only to be forgotten! WOW! Still observing her trying to get her attention she proceeded to go to the drink station and serve the individual his drink & then returned behind the bar to start punching in an order. OK? I guess the flow of the restaurant is to pick and choose who you serve-because that's definitely how it felt. I finally decided to get up and make it known to the server with the cap and button up shirt that I would like to pay for my drinks because we have decided to leave. The experience was tainted and it felt ugly to be left sitting there trying to get service. The server asked who was serving us and I pointed at the waitress, he then told me Don't worry about paying for the drinks and he did apologize. We sadly departed, it was embarrassing and very demeaning. Maybe we will be back to give this place another shot, but as of right now I think this could have been handled better.It took us an hr to finally decide to leave, goes to show I was trying my best to wait.

Jorge was a wonderful server. Ofc the wings were fire, but the service was also on point. He was super attentive, patient, and had a great sense of humor! We’re from Pagosa so altogether it was worth the drive just to stop here!

Sports bar vibe. Usually pretty busy. No fuss kinda place. Have ended up leaving on occasion because the staff get too busy to seat guests. Food is ok.

Chicken strips were overcooked to burnt crisps. Bone in wings overdone and not prepped well. Potato wedges were burnt outside and raw inside. Food is a shame because the waitstaff was friendly. They comped the wedges because they came out after we were almost finished with meal. Just need a better cook. Was not busy and now know why. too pricey for what they send out.

So good! We went early (5:30pm) on a Saturday night and had to wait for a table but it was worth it! We started with the fried okra and I had the chicken fingers dinner and my son had the chicken wings dinner. We love spicy and chose the spiciest sauces and they had good flavor and spice which is hard to get both. The chili lime sauce was overly salty for me but my son said it was fine. Will definitely go back when next in Durango.

Im giving it 5 stars, the food is good the drinks are good and the service is good . . . But the people are like zombies. Its a good place and could be a great place but I wish the people were a little more lively and thankful for their jobs and me being there.
They really need to work on their people skills.

Would not return. The wings were over priced and of average size. They were described as jumbo and we paid a premium for 6 wings. Furthermore, the beer was flat and the taps were dirty. I could taste of hint of the previous keg that was on that line.

Service was bad too. Go somewhere else

Lots of TV's so it's good if you want to watch a game and drink water
