It is the perfect stop on our way into Durango. All the beer we had was delicious (which is very hard to come by these days), and they even had a black IPA, my favorite style. We also tried the pizza and pretzels. Both were delicious and a big hit with all our kids. The space is lovely and very welcoming, along with the staff. I am going to ensure that we have the right timing every time we come through town to make sure that we are able to make a stop here. Don't miss it! Pros: *Great beer *Delicious food *Friendly staff *Great atmosphere Cons: *Winter hours are reduced

My soup was very heavy on onions and extremely light on broth. Our server had a difficult time entering a few changes on the order which made it a slow process. When I added a side order of fries was difficult for him to realize I wanted 3 things. Finally he said it would be an extra charge which was fine with me. I'm assuming he was new and struggling with the device. Drinks came out after our food.

We have tasted most every cider in the Grand Valley and none were as delicious as any of the Fenceline ciders.

Absolutely packed with flavor and worth every penny. The vanilla latte was excellent too.

What really topped it off was the service. Everyone I interacted with was kind, courteous, welcoming, and genuinely seemed happy to help. Even though they were extremely busy, my to-go experience was easy and pleasant. After a frustrating breakfast experience somewhere else in Durango earlier this morning, Rupert's completely turned my morning around. Fantastic food, excellent coffee, great people. I'll absolutely come back whenever I'm in Durango. That breakfast burrito alone is worth the trip. 5/5.

My wife and I each ordered ours smothered in green chili. She had chorizo, and I went with the slow roasted pork. They were both outstanding. The green chili is some of the best in Colorado.

We tried the mutton sandwich on fry bread for the first time, and while it was a little mild (I tend to go for spicier food), it was clear the sandwich was made with fresh ingredients and allowed you to customize the heat level to your preference. We went for lunch and the place was pretty quiet, with only a few other customers. Our food came out fast and piping hot! Heads up: This hidden gem can be a bit tricky to find. It's located behind United Energy Workers Healthcare and some vendors in a parking lot, right in the middle of a mobile home row. Don't let that deter you though, because this place is definitely worth checking out! Overall, I highly recommend DNM Grillen Native! I will absolutely be back.

I know you're wondering why we got fish, but I wanted something light! It didn't taste fishy and was yummy for a random joint in Cortez. The jala bites were a personal favorite, as they seemed homemade. It wasn't a classic jalapeno-cream cheese situation, but instead involved chopped jalapenos, nacho cheese, and it was all fried with a crispy outer shell. I'd come back for those alone! I'd definitely come back and try more. The price was fantastic too.
