We ended up eating at Durango Diner twice during our visit, and that says everything…read more The food here is absolutely outstanding. One of the things that really stood out is that they grate the hash browns right in front of you. You can taste the difference, fresh, crispy, and done right. On our first visit, I had the chile relleno omelette with hash browns, and it was incredible, perfectly cooked with amazing flavor. We liked it so much that we came back before leaving town. This time I had the classic breakfast with eggs, sausage, hash browns, and their green chili... and wow. The green chili was so good we actually bought a jar to take home. What truly elevated the experience was the service. Our waitress was full of energy, genuinely friendly, and made us feel so welcome, it honestly made our day (or at least gave us a fantastic start to it). If you're in Durango, this place is a must. We made it our last stop before heading out of town, and we'll absolutely be back.

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.

There is a location on eighth street, downtown durango which has indoor and outdoor seating with a more varied menu (deli/bakery). The location on the north side of town only has outdoor seating, bench and picnic table. They both have fabulous bread, pastries and coffee. The north side location is (bread/bakery) more grab and go. They have sandwiches already wrapped which is great when hiking and biking in the area. Quick and delicious.

There are a lot of breweries to choose from in Durango, and during our family vacation we tried…read morequite a few of them. One of our favorites was Steamworks Brewery in downtown Durango. The location was perfect for us because we were able to easily walk there from our hotel. We were lucky enough to get outdoor seating, which made the experience even better. It was great to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful Durango weather, and people watch while having dinner. We decided to do a beer flight so we could sample a variety of their beers before committing to a full pint. It was a great way to try different styles, and we each ended up finding a favorite. Everything we tried was really good. My husband liked their Buffalo wings and whiskey burger, I enjoyed the seared tuna bowl, and our kids liked their pizza. It is definitely a busy and popular spot, especially during peak vacation times, so I would recommend putting your name in early and expecting there could be a wait. In our opinion it was worth it. Steamworks had a great casual vibe that worked well for both families and adults wanting to enjoy a brewery experience. The downtown location adds to the charm, and it definitely felt like one of those must visit spots while in Durango.

Nestled in a strip mall at a major shopping center, Oscar's has plenty of parking -- which is good,…read morebecause the inside seems to be quite crowded with customers. Specializing in breakfast and lunch (though Sunday is breakfast-only), the fare comes in sizable portions for a reasonable cost. The food was all very tasty -- high-quality biscuits and gravy, good hash browns, excellent bacon, and house-made green chili, a long with decent eggs and pancakes the size of your plate. Bring an appetite and expect it will be fulfilled. The decor is like what one imagine's a diner at a train station would be (complete with an operating model train endlessly circling the walls just below the ceiling). The tables were a bit cramped for four -- overall, elbow room is at a premium -- but it was worth it. Service was reasonably fast, and quite friendly If we pass through Durango again, this will definitely be on the list to visit.

Bottom line, support local business and come enjoy a good cup in a very cool atmosphere.

I ordered the Ultimate Omelette but stated that the eggs needed to be runny. Of course that can't be done on an omelette but the server was clueless and immediately began writing down my order before I finished speaking. I stated that I'd never expect that and so to make it easy on the cook, I said that they could just turn it into a scramble so the eggs wouldn't be too cooked but expressed that eggs with brown on them would be a tabu. My easy scramble came out with rubbery, overcooked eggs and there definitely was not three eggs. My brother ordered his eggs sunny side up and they came out near bubbling and were black around the edges. Hash browns were generous but had black all over them and were not golden brown like in the menu, still raw in the middle with no flavour other than dirty grill. I told the server that I was worried that the young cook wouldn't know how to, just cook the food because I suspected he wouldn't be able to keep up with the hot grill and clearly, he didn't. The woman behind us ordered the T-Bone Slam, medium rare and I after the server left, I admitted to her that I easedropped and that her steak would likely be well-done --- it was well done but not done very well because it wasn't as she ordered. I never send back meals and couldn't have anyway because the server didn't ask how everything was until we had finished. The cook messed up the order and the server should have never brought it out. The last time we did breakfast at Denny's was two years ago and it was the same but not as bad as Ruperts and Hermosa Grill both, where are really bad with exception to the poached eggs at Ruperts which are usually perfect but don't expect service there either. Seems that for breakfast in Durango, the clear choice is The Durango Diner or Oscars. Denny's is especially disappointed because it's the only major chain diner in a town where major chains are not encouraged. Upon paying, we weren't asked how the meal was and I suspect that it wouldn't have mattered if they had. I used to travel 21-days a month for a living and Denny's was my standard and I'd eat there once a week, minimum. I loved it because it was consistent and always satisfying and if that's what you're expecting, it will not at Denny's Durango. Worst $40 (with tip) I've spend in since eating at Ruperts last when they wouldn't order my gift card and served a worse meal. I see a lot of five star ratings for Denny's and even Ruperts and so maybe I'm the oddball out but you've been warned by a customer having two bad breakfasts in a row.
