We also got to meet "The Dude"--a Big Lebowski reference that made our visit even more enjoyable. One thing we really liked was the variety. We ordered mozzarella sticks, a chicken breast, and mashed potatoes, and appreciated that they offer many items individually rather than only as full entrées. The food was good, the portions were generous, and the service was friendly. It's also within easy walking distance of downtown Durango and many of the nearby hotels. A great casual spot if you're looking for comfort food and plenty of options.

I had to get up twice to get the bartender's attention, interrupting his fun time with other clients. The music was apparently the GM's playlist and after asking twice to change it ( sounded like what the chefs were listening to before service) was told no. Not the vibe of El Moro, more like Ska. Really disappointed. PS any air conditioning?

I don't know if it can be seen from the photo or not how colossally burnt and hard the chicken…read morefried steak was. To her credit, our kind waitress had the kitchen quickly make me a new one, but honestly it was still borderline inedible. This time, due to the salt. Not only was the meat heavily salted, but the breading was overly salted as well. I couldn't even taste the meat or the breading (or even the potatoes) because it wasn't a giant plate of salt. I ate all the broccolini, a few bites of potatoes, and a few bites of steak. I hate that all restaurants, because of patrons and their salt-conditioned palates, serve the most sodium-laden monstrosities possible. I didn't feel good eating it, I didn't want to eat more than a few bites, and I left the restaurant full of regret for the bites I did take. On the plus side, the beer is exceptionally tasty, and my kids both enjoyed their meals. We are leaving tomorrow and so we won't be back, but I wouldn't be back otherwise as well.

We all ordered drinks and some food items. The spinach/artichoke dip was a bit heavy and overcooked. You def could not dip your chips in it. I got the poblano chx fried steak. It was good but also a bit overcooked. Some folks got burgers and pizza and they all said it was fine. Go for the service and drinks!! Fun atmosphere. Sorry- it was too crazy trying to get pics.

Thankfully, we came across Carver Brewing Co. and were happy to see it open. They offer a great variety of local beers, including options to take some to go. We tried the Double IPA and the Hazy--both were delicious. They also have wine and mimosas available if beer isn't your thing. Bo (or Beau) was our bartender and truly made the experience. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and had a genuine smile the entire time. His energy was infectious and really brightened the atmosphere. Definitely a must-stop when passing through Durango.

After taking a nice walk, I decide to stop and get a bite to eat. I was able to be seated right away. Picking a nice area in the back to sit, I was greeted quick and was given bottle of water, and a nice stainless cup to drink....because the water is cold the stainless cup kept the water cold for a good while....and a bowl of water for my dog. After a little time to look at the menu I ordered the burger and salad. The time for from order to food was good, I ordered my burger rare, the burger was delicious and 1/4 lb was plenty and shared some with my dog the side salad was good as well. The sauce in the side was a good pairing with the burger. The only issue I have was the service from my waitress. She didn't come back once to ask me how everything was if I needed anything else and I didn't get asked if I wanted more water. I would recommend this place for the food and ambiance but, the service could be much better.
