40 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Durango

“We love to visit and eat/drink at Public House 701 when we are in town. The owners are hands on and has created a very cool vibe restaurant and successfully brought together an A team chef and drink mixologist. The front of the house staff are friendly and makes sure you have a good experience. Everything I have eaten has been so delicious. The patio was almost full the night I was there, taking advantage of the awesome weather. With a separate room off the bar area, it would be perfect for events and group parties. I cannot wait to go back.“

“Love coming here on our trips. I actually know James from Ranching. This time however the lady that took our order was rude, and when the order arrived there were items missing which I know I had asked for but they said was not on the ticket. However the young guy was very nice and helped us there after! He needs to get the employee of the month! The little market was fun to and just like I remembered it!“

“Highly recommend Carvers if you’re in town. Our server was very friendly and attentive and the beers are awesome. We had a pretzel for an app which was amazing and the green chile cheese burger and the Alaskan salmon bowl for dinner. Both were delicious. Definitely will be back.“

“We decided to have a treat after riding the river trail and our expectations were beyond imagination! the care of each addition to the crepe, the concentration that everything is just right, the friendly smiles. We're here a few more days and there's a good chance I'll be a multi-repeat customer!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Teas are great, but especially love the Hatch green and red chili powders. The New Mexico All Purpose Seasoning will come in handy for grilling season.“

“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.“

“Great servise great atmosphere“

“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.“

“Great customer service and great food and beautiful views!“

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

“Took my family here for lunch on a road trip, and this is probably the best hamburger we’ve ever eaten!!!
?
Absolutely delicious, and the customer service was great!
?
Just added this restaurant to our favorites so we can come back again next month when we’re here for the Polar Express train ride!“

“Wonderful place to go and love the atmosphere. Plenty of places to sit where it's warm but still have the outside area. Only reason I have the lower score on the food is because the food truck I went to did not listen to my order and made me something else and it was too spicy for me to eat. I should of taken it back, but I was not in the mood to have confrontation. Boyfriends food was delicious lol and the truffle fries were bomb!“

“What an interesting place.. a gas station / repair garage.. turned into a bar.. with multiple food trucks ! Brilliant idea
We were there in the early afternoon on a weekday, so not a lot of people.. but judging by the amount of patio seating.. they get busy. Looks like a fun place.
We got a slider from a truck that was amazing !“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“Excellent food. The pulled pork was tender and juicy but not at all greasy. We enjoyed the red beans and rice side, too. And the cornbread was excellent. We would definitely recommend them.“

“Stop by here for a meal on the way out of town for the weekend and had some of the best tacos and quesadilla that I've had in a long time.

The people running this place are some of the friendliest and open to conversation I've run into in ages. Had a large chicken quesadilla a order of fish tacos and a kid's carnitas nachos.

The folks working here suggested some hot sauces based on our level of heat and we got the Chipotle and tomatillo sauces. The food was absolutely delicious and the tacos were very authentic. The quesadilla was well stuffed and the chicken was flavorful. All the sauces were fantastic. The atmosphere was great and even early in the morning they were ready to talk about food. Will be back.“

“Not only was the counter service top-notch, but the food is excellent. We both got sweet fries and grass burger bowls and milkshakes. Best food I've had in a while!
Plus, they are pet-friendly, and have 'pup burgers' on the menu :)“

“I will definitely go back“

“Add either location in town you really can't go wrong they sell pizza by the slice and they also sell whole pies everything from traditional pepperoni and cheese to really fun spins that they have with green chilies white sauce etc.

Great staff and super helpful.

Super family friendly, should be a must stop while in Durango.“

“Yummy yummy! I’m never disappointed! This is my go to place!“

“sooo much fun and the band was amazing. What a great experience.“

“Awesome beer and food! Awesome service!“

“My husband is a huge fan of ska (and beer ??) so when we planned our first trip to Colorado and chose Durango as our destination, we were so excited to find a Ska Brewery!
We walked in at 7:10pm and sat at the bar hoping to get a glass of beer. Waited for a bartender for about 5 minutes. A sour faced girl finally showed up (no greeting) “ We are slow today so will be closing earlier”. She sounded annoyed. “Can we get a beer?” We got two beers and she disappeared again clearly showing that there will be no seconds and she is ready to go home.
We took a few sips, got up and left.
Some experiences are so memorable. This will be one of them. Thank you miss bartender. You made an impactful impression.

UPDATE: We ended up going back the next day and had a very different experience: the bartender was attentive and fun to talk to. We ended up tasting different beers, ordering food and buying some ska merchandise.
I also appreciate the owners response. Running a business is not an easy task as you rely on all team players to represent your business.
Thank you. We will certainly be back!“

“Not a good experience here on a Friday night. The place is small and crowded. Kids running with a chair all over the place. The guy misunderstood the order and we had to wait like 20 minutes to get the slice of the pizza we wanted, so they don't replace on time. The girl in the bar was nice and quick in her service. Pizza and beer were good. In general, the food is recommended, the service may be improved.“

“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!“

“Service was really great. Coffee was topped off consistently and everyone was very friendly. The food was okay. I got the salmon Benedict. Honestly a one and done only because I've had better but if they added some avocado, it would elevate that one.

The Mrs. got the huevos ranchero and again, nothing to write home about but still great for some regular brunch.

The drinks were great and the coffee was good, and service on point! so that helps cover the food side. Definitely saving to give another shot and try their other menus.

Enjoy!“

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

“Extremely good. We will be going back 100%.“

“Amazing experience. If you are looking for a new place for date night or just enjoy trying new things. Highly recommend!“

“This is hands down the best Chinese restaurant I have been to. It's small and quaint. Right on the river and the most peaceful atmosphere. The food was amazing. The service was wonderful and the staff was very sweet. I recommend this for a sweet quiet little romantic dinner.“

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

“The best Mexican food in town, hands down. Most delicious relleno I’ve had anywhere, the carne asada is always on point, even the burger is one of the best in town, and great cocktails to top it all off. No, the Main Mall is not the best ambience in town, but it is home some of our best businesses, including Los Amigos. (check out RGPs too!)“

“Darling, if I *must* indulge you with my opinion of Seasons in Durango, Colorado, well, allow me to begin by saying it was nothing short of an *extraordinarily* delightful experience. Picture this: we, mere mortals, seated at the bar, preparing ourselves for an evening of culinary enchantment.
Now, as a woman of discerning taste, I naturally chose the *Paradise Island Margarita*. Oh, the *splendor*! A tantalizing concoction, reminiscent of a *key lime pie*, but served with such elegance in a martini glass. One could almost hear the waves lapping upon the shore, though we were far from the tropics.
Adam found himself in the thrall of an *Espresso Martini*, and oh, what a revelation it was! A drink that seemed to whisper to him, "Stay alert, but in the most fabulous way possible."
Our darling Angelique—*a true artisan behind the bar*—delivered these libations with the precision of a master and the flair of a stage performer. Truly, her skills should be heralded far and wide.
As for the food? *Heavenly.* We dined on the *Grilled Cheese*—though calling it merely "grilled cheese" feels a touch uncouth—and the *Hoisin Barbecue Ribs*. Both dishes were crafted with such care, such *passion*, one could weep. The flavors! *Flawless*. The chef, whoever he may be, is clearly *a genius* in the kitchen, a Michelangelo with a spatula.
We shall most certainly return, darlings. Seasons, you’ve enchanted us, and this *magnificent* experience will linger in our hearts—and taste buds—forevermore. *Bravo*.“

“Great beer, food , location and staff.“
