    Fish Tacos
    Abby L.

    James our server was great, he was attentive and kind without being pushy. The ceviche was good but lacking some on the amount of shrimp. The fish tacos were the highlight with fresh yummy fish. The dirty fries were decent if you don't love pulled pork I'd pass. My drink seemed watered down? I'd be curious to try their beers and ciders. The music was also quite loud so made it hard to always hear the people at our table. Overall not bad with good service, some good options but not sure about their drinks.

    Due to the dynamics of kids, sometimes you can go to a restaurant and enjoy yourself or you have to run out because one of your spawn's is having a meltdown. This visit to steam works was the latter so we didn't get to try any of the adult dishes, but what we got was pretty good. The nachos are served up on a platter so they are huge and the side of salmon we ordered was large and broiled to a medium well. Nice restaurant with a cool CO feeling vibe with great waitstaff right off main.

    Just around the corner from Carver, this spot has dedicated prkg (so you don't have to worry about the parking meters during the weekdays), which is a nice perk in dwntwn Durango! Massive indoor seating and bar area (outside patio seating as well) with fully backed and swivel barstools (which I luv! Not sure why so many places have the backless variety). Staff was courteous and checked in frequently (also kept my water glass full, which I great appreciate especially when working through a 7 taster flight!)! Beers were true to style with their anniversary Barleywine being my fav! Food was also fantastic! I got the whiskey burger (which I had last time) to go and it was so flavorful! The beer battered fries also stand on their own, no dipping sauces needed. Burger also came out w/in the timeframe given by the staff, which I was so grateful for so I knew when to put in my to-go order.

    Stopped into Steamworks for dinner after a long soak at the hot springs. Our server, Russell, was very friendly and on top of making sure that my friend who has some food allergies got the right ingredients in her order. I got the curry pumpkin soup and a dirty burger with fries. The pumpkin soup was yummy and flavorful. The dirty burger was delicious. The bacon jam and dirty sauce provided the perfect balance of sweet and savory. I wish I had gotten it as a kid's burger, though. The 1/2 pounder was way too much food for me and I was only able to eat half. I also got a Dirty Goat and Stranhattan to drink. They were both just okay. A bit watered down.

    What a incredible place. Monday night 2 Monday night football games on and the bar was completely full. A wonderful hostess got right with me and gave me a choice of a table. The beer selection is really good and the cocktails almost blew me away on the menu. Food is over the top by description and from what I had which was the Thai peanut salad - had to be one of the best I've ever had! I will have to come back here with some other people so I can try more things My server's name was Gunner and he was great with his recommendations and super kind for talking to such a boring old man :-) he recommended a couple beers to try and so of course I had too. To cap it all off I had already paid and was outside getting ready to hop on my motorcycle when I realized I didn't have my gloves. At that moment, Gunner comes running out with my gloves.

    Where is the shrimp??

    I liked this restaurant has flexible hours when all the others are closed this one is open. We were able to sit on the covered patio it has a nice view of the mountains and pretty flowers in the pots. Very summery vibe. The waitress was super friendly. My complaint was the appetizer. I ordered the mango and shrimp "ceviche" save your money, there was literally ONE entire shrimp all cut up into pieces. Call this appetizer what it is, mango "salsa". I told the waitress " I think they forgot to add the shrimp and she came back and said "well the kitchen said its only $10 so you cant expect much shrimp" wth? I was expecting the remainder of the food to be pretty underwhelming but it was actually pretty good and savory! I would definitely go here again but will skip the "ceviche".

    Best burger I've ever had without a doubt. Black and Blue burger. Partner had a Southwestern with bacon. Same! Cajun Fries yum Russell our server, incredible and so friendly. Great time.

    Southwestern Burger

    Must do if you're in Durango! This spot is popular on weekends or during big games, so plan accordingly or expect a wait. We didn't wait too long and really enjoyed our meal. We started with the Bavarian pretzel, which was served with beer cheese and mustard. It was delicious and fresh! I then had the southwestern burger, which is always a favorite of mine because of the green chilis. The burgers are always cooked nicely (I order medium) and I was able to substitute a side salad, which was easily one of the best side salads I've ever had at a brewery. We are doing dry January, so no beers this time, but had a lovely hop water that they brew there and even left with a growler full. Highly recommend Steamworks for an authentic Durango experience or if you're just trying to catch a game or hangout with friends. It definitely has fun, local brewery vibes. We will definitely be back!

    Came here on New Year's Eve after driving 8 hours to Colorado, they took our party of 7 and luckily we were able to join a waitlist ahead of time. I liked my chocolate espresso martini there, it tasted like chocolate milk but was pretty good. I loved the fries here, but I got the bacon cheeseburger and it tasted pretty average. There was nothing special about it and it honestly was pretty bland and needed like more flavor or sauce on it or something. They were quite busy on NYE so it did take awhile for our drinks and food to come out, and they also forgot about our one friends burger for like 15 mins so that was unfortunate.

    I relaxed vibe of this place is inviting and the service was good to be a busy place I ordered the Green chile chicken Fried steak and was good with a small kick. I would come back to take the tasting tour

    Slice of Maui Wowie pizza
    Lynn W.

    We've been coming to Steamworks for years and had always brought guests there and we all raved about their pizza, especially the Maui Wowie. So much so that our friends wanted to figure out a way to have it shipped to the East coast when they weren't in town. Sadly, we noticed a change last year but it was still pretty decent. Tonight we picked up two pizzas drove home anxiously awaiting our dinner. BLEH!!! Crust was VERY dry and heavy and toppings weren't much better. Not sure if and when the recipe changed but think about bringing the larger size pizzas and the original recipe back!! I would not recommend this version at all. Carryout Service though was awesome and food was ready fast after the online order.

    I see that in 2019 dogs were not allowed on the patio. Is that rule still in place? Thanks.

    If I remember right, they do. They do have a strong set of rules posted on the patio, such as feeding any food to dogs on the patio is forbidden, etc.

    Are you open for indoor or outdoor dining?

    We have both indoor and outdoor dining available right now.

    Is there any indoor seating right now (01/21)?

    No, Take out only

    Is the patio dog friendly?

    We do not allow dogs in our full service areas, including our back patio. Jennifer may have seen a dog in the front of the restaurant in our "Bistro Waiting Area". Dogs are allowed there, but you can only have drinks as we do not serve food in that… Read more

I must say, I was excited to see a place that has a whole section of Pasties, they are not something you find everywhere but a favorite of our family. The pasty we selected was flaky crust filled with mashed potatoes and bratwurst. It came with gravy as well as grainy mustard. Delish!! My husband went with the Fish & Chips. They did not disappoint.

From the moment you walk in, you're surrounded by an atmosphere that's cozy, eclectic, and downright fun, twinkle lights, creative décor, and a laid-back yet lively energy that makes every visit feel special. Their happy hour from 4-6 PM every day is hard to beat with all the classics like wines, mules, Cosmopolitans, margaritas, mojitos, and Manhattans for just $6, plus tasty appetizers for 6& and even quesadillas for a $10. It's one of those deals that's perfect for catching up with friends after a ski day or just kicking back with a well-made cocktail without breaking the bank. Speaking of food, their carne asada quesadilla is amazing, rich, flavorful, and the perfect pairing for any of their drinks. And if you're lucky enough to have Tonny as your server, count yourself fortunate: attentive, personable, and genuinely one of the best in the business, the kind of hospitality that turns a great meal into a memorable night out. Between the delicious drinks, great value, funky ambience, and standout service, Derailed is a must-visit spot in downtown Durango. Whether you're here for happy hour, dinner, or just a cocktail, it's easy to see why locals and visitors alike sing its praises.

Having frequented this place many times, I'm always amazed at the painstaking lengths that the owner went to provide a pleasant dining experience, good food, high quality ingredients, and a pretty excellent value relationship-- Only to hire incompetent servers. Tonight I was placed alone next to a window, with the server barely spending more than 10 seconds waiting on me--in 50 minutes. Instead, he doted over all of the large groups in my vicinity, promised me a refill on the iced tea, watched me sit there waiting for 30 minutes for a refill, and never provided such. You got it. When I was handed the electronic payment machine...Yupp... he literally stares me down like a back alley shakedown artist. In addition to wearing a scuzzy unkept beard, not advisable for food servers, right?, he actually seems visibly upset when I gave him 16% tip, even asking me "was something wrong?" I know that we are in a small town, and Durango is feeling its growing pains, transitioning from a mountain/railroad rural tourist haven to a high profile mountain resort. But this was so obvious, that it ruined the experience. The burger was well executed and had a nice patina, offering a rewarding crunchy patty exterior. The marinade the patty was placed in was great as well. The bun was high quality and so too was the blue cheese and fried onion strings.

We were seated on the patio and it took quite a while for our server to greet us. Once she did, she brought water and took our drink order. She returned with our drinks and said she would be back to take our food order. We had plenty to talk about while waiting, but she repeatedly walked past our table to attend to other tables without stopping. Eventually, I had to stop her and let her know we were ready to order. My wife and our friend's wife both ordered a pasta dish with sliced steak and spinach. My friend had a salad with salmon and a bowl of soup, and I ordered the filet with potato lasagna and spinach. As the evening went on, it became breezy and chilly. I asked another server if the patio heater could be turned on, and someone came over right away to help, which we appreciated. When our meals arrived, everything looked excellent and tasted very good. The food was definitely the highlight of the evening. Unfortunately, our server only stopped by our table once during the entire meal to check on us and it was lien she was in a rush to leave to table. We spent a long time waiting to see if she would ask whether we needed anything or if we were finished. It wasn't as though she had to go out of her way to reach us--she walked past our table numerous times while serving her other tables. Because of the lack of attention, I once again had to get her attention to let her know we were finished and ask for a dessert menu. I ordered the Dubai Chocolate dessert to go after she highly recommended it. Unfortunately, it did not live up to the description once I had a chance to eat it. The chocolate flavor was very mild, and the crunchy layer on the bottom was not particularly enjoyable nothing like a Dubai Chocolate. Overall, the food was excellent and deserving of praise. However, for a fine dining restaurant where both the food and drinks come at premium prices, the service fell well short of expectations. Great meals can make for a memorable evening, but attentive service is an important part of the fine dining experience, and unfortunately that was missing during our visit.
