The staff is always very friendly, but the food is just mediocre. They try to market themselves as a nicer restaurant, but it's OK. Ordered a ribeye special and was delivered a thin sliced piece of beef with melted cheese. Not worth the money.

Came for the Thursday night trivia and was a bit reserved in my expectations towards food, however from top to bottom all appetizers and entrees where phenomenal. Can’t wait to come back and further explore menu. Some of the highlights were Cukoos wings which definitely set the bar high for Durango, homemade Mac and cheese, The bark on the meatloaf serving, Coconut Shrimp and Mashed potato’s garnished with potato chips, which sounds weird but pretty freakin solid.

The homemade raviolis with the marinara was pretty good but the food was pretty bland for the price. I had the ravioli as an appetizer and the chicken fried bone in pork chop for dinner and it didn't have much flavor. The two other people I was with had the rib eye and they said they were good so I will have to go back and try that.

I'm not sure how this restaurant has such a high rating. Maybe we went on an off night. We had three appetizers, main courses, and cocktails. None of it was great. One cocktail was sent back. My entree, the prime rib, was ice cold and had zero seasoning. The mashed potatoes tasted like boxed potatoes and the green beans were just really bad. The food was generic American. My whole table decided once was enough for this place. Really disappointing.

What an excellent find. When the brewery down the street had an hour wait (note- no place, much less a brewery that serves bar food is worth an hour wait) we wandered into this place- a total throwback to the 70s, from the decor to the music to the furniture. Even better- the food was excellent and the service was top notch. A nostalgic low key vibe with good food.

Fantastic! Even busy and understaffed, the service was still great. The food was delicious. Enjoyed one of the evening specials, a Buffalo burger. Cooked and prepared perfectly. Mushroom appetizer was unique and tasty. Would definitely return and recommend.

Chad is the best bartender ever! Absolutely love the fact that I can get Cuckoos wings here until they’re open for dine in.

We were visiting and stumbled upon this place... how lucky was I! The food was fresh, the servers were amazing and the overall experience was so good that we will be coming back. There are a lot of dishes we want to try and with the ambiance and good drinks, can't go wrong. Give this place a visit if you are around. Good job.

We (party of 4) went there last night. The service and food were great. I had the Pork Chop dinner with Bumbleberry Sauce with sides of potatoes and vegetables of the day. The Bumbleberry sauce had a little jalapeño. I loved it! Everyone in our party enjoyed their meal.
