“#AmazingHotel #TheRochesterHotel“

“We are 2 Texans with a great dane traveling the US to see what this beautiful country has to offer. On a day trip to Durango, we stopped in to try Buckhead’s brisket sandwich and tacos which were so delicious. I especially loved their Carolina Gold sauce that I had to buy some for later. The owner was very kind and accommodating, and allowed us to dine in with our dog. We don’t get to do that often because of her size, which is understandable. We highly recommend Buckhead West BBQ, and will dine in the next time we are in town.“

“Just had lunch at James Ranch a HUGE shout out to Grant!! Being a restaurant owner we're always "watching " employees. Great hire on him very well mannered ( yes ma'am and yes sir) I know personally good employees are hard to find and he's a good one!! The food was outstanding!! Highly recommend this place. We even visited the store and purchased apples, plums & peaches ❤️“

“My husband and I discovered Akami last year and loved it! We ate there twice within a month (and we live in AZ)! Had the opportunity to swing by again today and it was just as good! Highly recommended!!“

“Had a great lunch at Carver! I ordered the chimichurri salad with the tofu on top and it was excellent. Really fresh, flavorful, and a great portion size. We sat outside which was perfect for the day. The view of Main Street makes it a great spot for people watching.

The raspberry ale was also refreshing! Overall just a really lovely lunch and a great place to sit outside and enjoy the afternoon.“

“Best food in Durango! The sliders, salad and soup are all top notch! Don’t miss this place if you’re anywhere close to Durango!“

“My friends and I dropped into Four Leaves winery during a visit to Durango. We are touring the USA in campers and started one month ago near Rochester, NY. We loved everything about this serene location, especially the wine. Thank-you to the proprietor for his gracious attention and we will be looking forward to returning whenever possible“

“Our family all really enjoyed our evening spent here. We were a party of 10. Ages ranging from 5-66. There were plenty of areas for the kids to enjoy, as well as for the adult's. Arrive early to try and enjoy some of the other entertainment. We (as adults)loved panning for gold with the kids. The train (yes, had to pay a small fee) the kiddos loved it. The food was great. We all had the combo plate. Everyone, actually agreed we liked the chicken the best (didn't try the steak). It was my 2nd time there and didn't disappoint. Definitely a great attraction. Show was great! Also, nice to see the performer's and talk with them after the show.“

“Delicious! My favorite is Mixed Berry Crisp. 🩷“

“I went into the store and had an amazing experience!“

“Maddie was an excellent barista! She was such a pleasure!!“

“It would be nice to truly recommend this place, but $7 for a tap beer is too much! The IPA was mediocre as well. The staff however was friendly and incredible. But please cater to locals and have your price reflect that.“

“Bread is all around incredible!!! Kyra, at the north location, designed and made us the most beautiful wedding cake. It was equally delicious and beautiful. And the team at the downtown location made my aunt in Seattle's dreams come true by cheerily delivering pastries to the salon where I got my hair and makeup done the morning of my wedding while she was a million miles away. They're incredible people and make incredible goodies. I cannot recommend them enough! Thank you for making my most special day perfect!!“

“My husband and I loved the entire experience! Great food, atmosphere, and service. We will definitely go back!

Vegetarian options: The flavors and presentation were epic!

Dietary restrictions: All gluten-free!“

“Amazing time!!! Our bartender Luke helped us get the right local beer for us and he was super cool!! Make sure Luke is your guy!!! Highly recommended place!“

“Cute coffee shop. Not so nice staff. My husbands order was mocked from the guys behind the counter. Your customers can hear you. Do better.“

“We had to stay in Durango since a bike broke down. We found this place right by the Harley dealership. Wow we had such a great time we came back the second day. Charlie was amazing and her drinks were the bomb. We will definitely come back.
The olives were on point lol“

“I'm a huge fan of Cinder Dick, but the new Tinhorn is nothing to sneeze at either! wonderful owners, amazing craft drinks & an awesome location to hang out! They also have fantastic vodka & moonshine, so if you're in Durango stop by for a visit & cocktail or tree!“

“Ernie’s has a fantastic selection of beers and wonderful drinks! The pizza and salad at the food truck is outstanding! The atmosphere is laid back and relaxed. The service was excellent! If you’re in Durango go by and enjoy the atmosphere and a cocktail!“

“The soft tacos and quesadillas are absolutely fantastic, and the margaritas are top-notch! They use a homemade lime mix, not an overly sweet premade one, which makes all the difference. The staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating. I’m so glad we discovered this place—it’s definitely going to be a regular spot for us!“

“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!“

“Great burgers and vegan options. Probably the best black bean patty I’ve had!“

“best salad I have ever had, chicken sandwich yum. Great servers!“

“I will definitely go back“

“Pet Peeve: when people speak in superlatives (especially as a former English teacher). That being said… my wife and I just shared the Beersalmic Chicken Melt; and it was the BEST sandwich I’ve ever had in my entire life. It left me speechless… which is one hell of an accomplishment! The Copper Cabra (Moscow Mule) was also fantastic. Last, but certainly not least… the service was top notch!! 10/10!! You won’t regret it!!!“

“Best cafe in Durango! Everything is made fresh everyday, their drinks are amazing, and incredible owners and atmosphere. Their sandwiches and quiches are to die for. Recommend to all of my family and friends!“

“Traveling for a living has its down sides but boy oh boy ska brewing helps you feel like HOME. Pj was everything a brand ambassador requires and shared with me knowledge about the beers and excellent food suggestions!!!! Thank you everyone working (and sitting next to me) for making my whole 8 day trip on the second night! Go Durango go!!!“

“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 staff was great, the pizza was awesome and also, had some much needed beer.“

“Great burgers and vegan options. Probably the best black bean patty I’ve had!“

“🍕🙂👍 Wesley & the entire staff are awesome!“

“The chicken fried rice we had last night was delicious! It was light and had an addicting flavor to it! Oh my FOODness and the steamed dumplings with the sauce were excellent!!!! I highly recommend this place.
Sincerely, Gonzalez Family! All the way from south Texas“

“The Best margaritas in town! Our server Irene and owner Tony were so informative and hospitable! Great service! We will definitely return! At first we weren’t sure because of the location in the mall but it’s a great little restaurant 😍 Don’t hesitate to try it!“

“We had the lunch special 11am to 3pm. $10 for a slice 5 different pizza, drink & salad. Option 2 was a slice of pizza, drink & choice of cookie or rice krispie for $7. It was a large slice, was so delicious. I Highly recommend to eat here. Even more amazing was the staff are polite & friendly.“

“Absolutely love this place when I’m in Durango to photograph the train. Slices are the best for a quick meal on the go. You can’t go wrong here, trust me.“

“First place I went to while visiting Durango and lemme just say how DELICIOUS the food was. good lord. I’m not a big meat person so I was already a bit judge mental but not only did the food convince me but also the service. I’m not sure of his name but he was super friendly and his service went beyond my expectations. I live to visit places that aren’t a huge franchise and this place was the best choice. Wish there was one in Albuquerque!“

“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.“
