Every single beer on tap was quality. Even if the style wasn't your favorite, it was still quality. But for for me, I thought every beer was delicious. To tag along, the was also high quality (that goat burger was amazing). I can't finish this without giving a nod to the Service, our bartender, she was great. Finally, I loved the ambiance. It fit the entire vibe and would recommend this to anyone

We stopped here while traveling through Southwest Colorado after noticing it was one of the…read morehigher-rated restaurants in the area. The restaurant was clearly popular, with a packed parking lot and a steady line of guests waiting for tables. While the outdoor seating wait was about 30 minutes, we were pleasantly surprised to be seated indoors right away. The atmosphere is lively and energetic, though it can get quite loud during busy times. I ordered the Rio Brisket Tacos and appreciated the happy hour discount, which made them an even better value. The Chokecherry Habanero Margarita was a standout, offering just the right balance of flavor and heat. My son tried the Homesick Texas Steak Sandwich along with a homemade root beer and thought they were decent. Service was a bit inconsistent during our visit, but the staff seemed to be managing a very busy crowd. The restaurant's popularity was evident when we overheard that the wait time had grown to an hour and a half by the time we left. Overall, while the experience didn't completely meet our expectations, it's easy to see why this spot draws such a crowd. The unique drink offerings, happy hour specials, eating by the river and strong local following may make it worth a visit for travelers passing through the area.

Libby gave us fantastic menu recommendations, and when I told her I had never tried a Monte Cristo before, she assured me theirs would be a great first experience -- she was absolutely right! My husband ordered the double beef patty green chile burger and wow... our food was outstanding. Beyond the amazing food and service, Libby was a true ambassador for the city. She shared local activities, town hotspots, and even recommended a hidden jazz speakeasy. Honestly, the Chamber should hire her! She made our visit feel warm, welcoming, and memorable.

We've…read morebeen on the road for a week and in the mood for Italian, but we might be too picky to rate these dishes properly. We prefer when the chicken is pounded flatter and still crispy under the sauce. If you prefer it thick, this was a nice serving. The pasta aglio had a healthy amount of garlic and parm and was very tasty -- this was just on the edge of being overcooked but close enough to el dente. All the plates being served around us looked very good too. Very nice atmosphere in this quaint restaurant - wait staff was very attentive and kind.

The wait for a table was about 30 minutes, but we spent the time walking around the area, so it went by quickly. Once seated, we found ourselves in a tiny dining room and bar with walls covered in license plates from different states. We turned it into a fun little "I Spy" game while waiting for our food. We started with the Chips and Salsa Fresca, which was fresh and delicious. For our main meal, we ordered tacos -- the #1 El Diablo, #5 Esteban Special, and #6 Fish Tacos. The chipotle sauce on the El Diablo was phenomenal, and the grilled fish in the fish tacos was some of the tastiest I've had. The staff was fantastic as well. My daughter ordered the Chips w/ Cheese (nachos) from the kids' menu and unfortunately didn't like them at all. When we mentioned it to our server, she genuinely cared and quickly made things right by removing the item from our bill. Next time I'm in Pagosa, I'll definitely be coming back to this gem of a place.

The wait for outdoor seating was much longer than expected, we waited over an hour before finally deciding to take a table inside instead. Once seated, the service was friendly and attentive, which we appreciated.

That said, everyone has an off day, and based on our previous experience, we're willing to give them another chance. We hope our next visit is as memorable as the first.

Our server was great in taking our orders and checking on us, but to get the check on the other hand, that took a while. Onto the food. Our order got mixed up a bit. We got one pizza placed in front of us that wasn't ours, the other that got dropped off someone at my table didn't notice and started eating it. Then our original order was brought. Long story short we had a bunch of left overs. I personally got a calzone that was amazing and the size portion was huge. This is a pet friendly location so they have outdoor seating and sliding garage doors that can be closed. Overall it was a great feel to it. And we would def come back for more.
