After hiking sections 25-28 of the CT we were all Hangry... Instead of going to a restaurant we went to Ernies which is a food truck and bar experience. Great selection of beers on tap....Modello and Hazy purple wheat beer were great. Pizzas are tasty and my sliders were delish. Music was a tad annoying but such a great vibe. Highly recommend read more

Great experience. Spotted the brightly lit sign for "Ernie's 11th Street Station" (11th and Main). We walked in to explore, uncommitted and unsure of what we were getting into. It has an energetic, young (we're not!) vibe, music, indoor/outdoor seating, and a range of good food prepared and served quickly. You order & pick up at several specialty food truck-like stations but the waiter from the bar also circulates among tables. Self-bus your table. They have seating near the action as well as quieter ones to have a conversation. Seemed to work for families with small kids too. Fun place! read more

Fun space with Ernies full bar, food trucks, live music and a great open outside space to enjoy it all. Our group of 6 had food from 4 different food trucks and enjoyed them all. From lemonade and grilled cheese, poke bowls, burgers and hand cut fries, and barbecue. Highly recommend for a unique experience. read more

Aspen is an amazing bartender! She's friendly and efficient! We'll definitely be back!

This place is really unique! The patio is a great place to spend time, and the drinks are fantastic. Definitely try the Doritos Shot!

My wife and I went here on our honeymoon. This place is oozing with variety, the food and drinks are amazing. You have a perfect view of downtown and the San Juan mountains while you dine. We will definitely return to this place! read more

Ernie's is perfect for families with outside seating and a wide variety of food trucks so everyone can get what they want! The ambiance is relaxed and often have live music at nights. read more

Great atmosphere, very unique serving style and ordering style. There are fired kitchen options, pad Thai and Curry, and Sliderz and salads. Served from three different types of food trucks. However, service is very slow, had to wait several minutes for our drink order. When food finally got to the table the fries were cold. Would recommend if you're looking for a relaxing atmosphere and don't mind waiting a while. read more

This is a very cool hangout spot in Durango with lots of drink and food options. The whole establishment is an old gas station with a bar inside and a few food trucks outside. There are a lot of beer and cuisine options (Asian, Mexican, American etc) and all the food we had was great! You can sit either inside or outside and there's also love music at the bar. We would definitely come back! read more

While visiting for the weekend we found ourselves stopping in here a few time to grab a drink and hangout in a unique spot with a ton of food options. read more

An interesting and yet complex dining experience. Pay one place for drinks and essentially for a place to dine and otherwise wait in line for various food truck options. Be careful the confusion can lead to a large lunch bill and don't forget your drink bill. Undecided if I would recommend. Some clear directions would have been great!! read more

Excellent food choices from food trucks, nice service inside with coffee and drinks to chose from. Sometimes communal tables can be strange but general a friendly environment read more

Good place for a calm chill night life. Love the live band they bring in. The bar looks lively just from the outside. Patio is huge with food trucks outside and btw they have heaters for outdoors! :) read more

So...we were excited to find this place. The layout is a little different than we were used to. You order your food from the food truck, give them your table number, and then get your drinks from Ernie's, which sounds simple enough...IF you can get a server to your table. They were somewhat busy, I will admit that. However, we had asked three times before we could even get soft drinks. We gave the food trucks all five stars... But the drinks from Ernie's....sorry, only 2. read more

This place is like a permanent block party. I had not been there since COVID until yesterday, and was not disappointed. It is a bit confusing to buy your drinks from your server, and then walk up to the various food trucks for your food, but, so what? You can always stay home and watch TV. Had Ramen Noodles from the Japanese food truck and was very happy. In the past, I've had the pizza and the Thai food, and have no complaints. They have excellent, creative cocktails, but I was less than impressed by the beer list; no local Durango beers at all, kind of heavy on the IPAs, and Coors Lite, are you kidding me? Service was excellent, and, despite social distancing, it's still easy to strike up a conversation with the person at the next table. Isn't that why we all go out? read more

The atmosphere and decor is an amazing concept! They have a full bar and 5 food trucks and live music. We've tried the pizza, tacos, sliders, quinoa salad, and sushi. All were tasty and satisfying. Been here s few times. Never had any complaints. Yesterday though they seemed short-handed. Patrons were complaining of slow service with getting their drinks. They also could not serve any of their cold brew coffee mixed drinks because tgey were out of the coffee Been here quite a few times. I give Eleventh Street Station 4-5 stars. Ernie's however 3 stars. If running out of mix for drinks was just a one time thing it would be no big deal. But running out of Bloody Mary Mix on a Sunday at 11:00am? I was told it would be a few hours before they would have any. There are liquor stores and grocery stores all over town and close by. Send someone to get it and take care of your patrons. read more

Food truck spot. Really cool layout with patios on all sides. We ate from numerous trucks. Good food.

I love this place. The food is so fresh and delicious. The crab cakes from Backcountry Gourmet are amazing. The salads are just so appetizing. I would definitely recommend. read more

Worst damn place ever! Took forever to get three cans of beer, when they finally arrive the server spills one on my friend. Then takes forever to bring that can back and didn't even knock off any of the price of the spilt beer on my friend. Lucky I can't give it zero stars read more

Slowest bar drink service I've ever experienced. And the place wasn't even busy. Order a mirror immediately upon entering so you can watch yourself dying of thirst. read more

This place is great. Grab a drink from the friendly bar tender and order a variety of foods from the food trucks positioned outside. Overall good deal, food and drink. read more

Great concept, executed tastefully. Old garage-gone-Hipster paradise. Food outside (trucks) and anything you could want to drink inside. Friendly staff, seemingly-curated music (played at appropriate volume), super clean, unique beverage offerings (I'm not saying, as not to ruin it for when I go back), reasonable prices and Happy Hour. Also the best FREE live music I've heard in a very, very long time (night time). Nothing not to love. This place hits all the marks. Go, yourself, and don't tell too many people about it. Gotta keep these gems safe. read more

Stopped for a Bloody Mary before checking out downtown. Durango. This is a very cool little place. Best Bloody Mary around. They have great outdoor seating and a ton of shade. read more

Got into town after traveling from Utah. Found out quickly that dining options that have "dine-in" are really limited. Thought I'd try Ernie's. I gave it four stars. I would NEVER have given it that during (what used to be) normal times. But the Covid monster is alive and well in Colorado. Ernie's is a heated tent. They can serve you a drink (which was very good) IF you order food from one of the food trucks on the property. I got sushi from the white truck. It was a little pricy, but good. These folks are trying to survive and I appreciate they are doing what they can. The servers were all really nice and patient with me as they explained all the rules. In the end, I got a good meal and it didn't have to be the dreaded room service. But I can't help but wonder - will this madness ever end?? read more

We have been here twice! It's perfect for social distancing and staying safe during the pandemic. Servers are great and all the food trucks are top notch! read more

First time at Ernies during Covid 19 transaction great job... y'all deserve a big kudos for job well done.. keep up the great job...

I love this place especially b/c it's about 3 blocks from home; however I have read complaints about bartenders being slow. Well, they are. The bartenders there need to learn how to FREE POUR drinks instead of painstakingly measuring every drop like they do. You can free pour an exact amount without overpouring. This would really save a TON of time. read more

This place is the BOMB! We had the most amazing sushi from the sushi trailer and great drinks at the bar. We will be back this summer. Love this place. read more
