Some of the best cocktails in town and amazing dinner/dessert options. Love the back patio!

Wow! Tbe food, service, and atmosphere was impeccable. The place has dark wood with gold accents that give it a warm and inviting atmosphere. Kudos to whomever decorated for Christmas because they added a beautiful touch to the establishment. Then our server came to the table with a big smile. He was very helpful and a pleasure to be served by. I ordered the chicken pot stickers with a honey hoisin dipping sauce. I felt they could have used more filling, but they were delicious! I ordered the shrimp coconut curry over rice dish that was out of this world good. My friend got the meatloaf sandwich and it was full of flavor. She also got the cheddar ale soup and really enjoyed it. Highly recommend this place from the atmosphere, service, and food you will not be disappointed! I wish it was in Denver, so I could go all the time! read more

Warm, contemporary ambiance and attentive, friendly service. We made 5:00 weekday reservations to celebrate birthdays and had a great meal. The tempura shrimp satay (6) was crisp and tasty - didn't even need the dipping sauce. I had the seared ahi tuna, which was plentiful and prepared perfectly. The wasabi cream sauce is more of an afterthought and very mild. I found the bok choy a bit over cooked. Request soy sauce, as this adds the right touch of flavor. The hub had the meatloaf, which is one of their most popular dishes. He said it lived up to expectations. The sautéed spinach was especially tasty. The apple tart was our favorite part of the meal! Apple slices cooked into a puff pastry with cinnamon and caramel drizzle. Topped off with vanilla ice cream. Vast cocktail and wine selection. Very reasonable prices. This place is a fantastic value for all you receive in return. read more

Awesome food all the way around. Family are here in summer 2021 and absolutely loved it. Kids talked about it multiple times and said if we can return to Durango again we need to go back there. Was concerned when it was renamed that it would not be as good but we were not disappointed. Excellent food and service. We had apps, salads and a variety of entrees and loved it all. Only one suggestion for the restaurant.... Parker house rolls... really? All your food is deliciously awesome and you have bread that seems like it is store-bought? They were still good but doesn't seem befitting of a restaurant with this high quality and creativeness otherwise. read more

My wife and i have been coming to 636 formerly Ken and Sues for years. Great bartenders making wonderful cocktails, the menu is consistently good and well priced and the service and ambiance are great. I keep trying other places in Durango but I always come back here. read more

We were very disappointed with our visit. We sat outside and had great service. Even the rolls and the appetizers were good. But the entrees had absolutely no taste. I had the pistachio-crusted fish and my husband had the chicken fried steak. Both were extremely underwhelming. We left disappointed. read more

For my oldest grandchild's thirteenth birthday, we decided to have dinner at 636 Main Ave. The reviews had been awesome but of course, we hadn't experienced the magic of this restaurant yet. We were seated outdoors on a casual but elegant cozy patio. When I made a reservation and informed one of the staff members that we were celebrating a birthday, our table was decorated with confetti and a candle. We were quickly tended to by Justin, the most attentive and personable waiter. He was so thoughtful, and served us immediately. He knew the menu well and told us all about the foods, drinks, and his favorites. His efforts made the celebration extra special. For dinner my granddaughter and I shared the New York Strip Steak with blistered asparagus, giant onion rings, smashed potatoes, and maple mustard glaze. It was so delicious... It's genuinely too remarkable to describe. The tasty drinks we chose were recommended by Justin and thoroughly enjoyed. My granddaughter praised the restaurant after we had left and told me how she would never forget the delicious dinner she had on her 13th birthday! So, I would HIGHLY recommend this restaurant if you are passing through or staying in Durango. Thank you Justin and staff at 636 Main Ave! read more

Great food and service. It is one of my favorite places to get great food. They have a good wine and spirits list. The deserts are made in house and delicious. read more

Called at 2:35 to get a table for 2 at 3:00. Opentable posted that their last seating for lunch is 3:00. Spoke with hostess Jill who said if we made it by 3:00, we would be seated. After running to the restaurant and arriving at 3:01pm, we were turned away. A man came to the door and said the kitchen had already started switching to dinner prep. A "not available " on the reservation call would have saved us a lot of angst. Honesty is your best policy! read more

The desserts here is so so good. The food is good too but the desserts is all I can think about. We had the cream brûlée and cheesecake. The cream brûlée's was really good but the cheesecake! The cheesecake was on of the best I ever had. I am a cheesecake snob and I have never ever had a cheesecake thats crumbly and creamy and this delicious. read more

I went to Ken & Sue's on my first night in Durango on a weekend trip with my significant other and friends. Ambience: Charming and inviting. The restaurant is right in the middle of the quaint cute downtown if this mountain city. We sat on the outdoor patio which was huge with tons of space and tables. Drinks: I got a watermelon martini to start which was good but overflowing and spilling about a bit when served. Appetizers: the BEST part of the meal. My fiancé and I split the Cajun scallops appetizer which had over 6 scallops and was only $10.95. I was amazed that I could get perfectly cooked and seasoned scallops (I had never had Cajun-flavored scallops before and the spice was actually perfect!) for such a good price as I rarely see scallops as an appetizer. Entree: I went with the filet mignon which was priced really well at $23.95. It was cooked to a nice medium temperature but wasn't the butteriest restaurant filet mignon I have ever had. I thought the sides of smashed potato lasagna (basically like an au gratin) with sautéed tomatoes, gorganzola, and spinach actually outdid the meat. The service: I would say was friendly but could improve on a couple of things such as serving martinis without spilling around tons of liquid. We also ordered a bottle of wine when our entrees arrived and we didn't receive the wine until we were nearly done with our entrees. This place is very suitable for a decent dinner but I actually found that the appetizers and sides were more impressive than the main courses. read more

After our train ride, we ventured into downtown historic Durango district and found this fancy restaurant with outside seating. The staff was awesome and the food deserves 6 stars! I had a mouthwatering ribeye which is always a favorite. The atmosphere was quiet and they kept our water glasses full! I can't speak about inside seating but it's a lounge/bar; not kid friendly. Since we travel with our child it was nice to have a sit down meal in a full service restaurant that also provides a family friendly atmosphere. read more

This was our second time dining here. Once again it was excellent!! My steak was perfectly cooked. My wife had the seared Ahi. Perfect. The cocktails were great. A perfect ambiance and the service was top notch. read more

The food and ambiance are worth going alone! I recommend the prime rib!! Service is wonderful. We like to eat at the bar and our bartender is always very attentive! read more

We stopped in Durango for a couple of days and this is a food fest Little Town. We found Ken and Sue's and decided to have dinner there it was beyond spectacular. Our appetizer was pork belly with a Brussels Sprout Kimchi dressed slaw. "Exceptional "!!!! And large!!! Plenty for two or three. PORTIONS ARE LARGE HERE!!! My dinner was sweet potato gnocchi in a poblano sauce with a very large portion of thinly sliced breast of chicken also with its own special sauce the gnocchi were mind-boggling delicious. My husband had the special of the night which was,a semolina crusted chicken breast over the homemade pasta of the night with diced onions peas and fennel incredible!!! The pasta was thin and perfectly prepared. The prices were very reasonable and the portions are very large. The staff were wonderful constantly checking to see if we needed anything else and stopping to chat very friendly and we loved the outside patio perfect for the summer with a beautiful breeze. THIS IS ONE GORGEOUS LITTLE TOWN!! And one fantastic restaurant!!! read more

Great night our server Molly was great! She took our picture and gave us a copy of it to take him! Great food and service! We will be back next time in Durango! read more

The food is pretty good, but the atmosphere left us wanting. Honestly, it's an overpriced Applebee's masquerading as a fine dining establishment. The servers all looked a bit sloppy, the restaurant was worn and somewhat dirty, and our waitress was kind, but not very attentive. We wanted to love this place, but probably won't be back. There are SO many good restaurants in Durango that I would recommend enjoying dinner somewhere else. read more

636 Main Ave - Chicken stuffed with goat cheese and sundried tomato - New American Near Me - Durango, Colorado

Solid restaurant in Durango. I got a starter that actually was a pretty good portion: the scallop hush puppies were a special on Saturday. Very good and worth a try. Also, I really appreciate them taking me 5 minutes before the restaurant closed and bringing the food out quickly so I could get back on the road! read more

Traveling from out of state today and wanted a filling salad to take back to our hotel. Hotel recommended Ken and Sue for their delicious salads. What a complete disappointment when we arrived back at the hotel to find our salad was filled with old, brown lettuce. Several bites of the grilled chicken was rubbery. They failed to include food items we requested. Perhaps eating in would we would have been served a better meal and at $14 it should have tasted divine. read more

Great food, fabulous service, reasonable price, good atmosphere. Who could ask for more.

The food is amazing here and the service! Lacey at the bar is exceptional. She is friendly, efficient, and always smiling. Also this is one of my favorite places to get dessert. Try their tiramisu, made in-house, with an espresso on the side. Delicious! read more

Amazing! From north Texas, would definitely make a return trip! Prime rib was amazing, as well their Chia White Russian

Now called 636 Cafe Really good chef driven place in downtown Durango. Quality through the menu salads/ steaks/ seafood etc. Worth stopping in read more

Lindsey, our server, was friendly and efficient. Had a delicious coconut lemon drop cocktail. Food was very good, large portions. Would definitely return if we get back to Durango! read more

This place is a MUST in Durango. I sat at the bar, and was pleasantly engaged with the bartenders for most of the evening. I orderd the sea scallops and debated another dish, but so glad I did not. The sea scallop appetizer can be described as sea scallop nachos, and is enough food for two people! The drinks were great, the scene was wonderful, the staff was friendly, and I wish I had gone back for more meals. read more

This is one of the best restaurant in Durango. The food tastes awesome. Service is good too.

Does your chef have a vendetta against edible food. You know you can make food without the pound of salt for every dish.

Food was delicious, from the salad to the beef tips. The back patio was a great place to enjoy a great meal. A gem of a restaurant in Durango. read more

Casual atmosphere.. Excellent service!! Amazingly delicious food!!! Great drink selection read more

Excellent! Best meal we had in our week in Durango! Highly recommend and will be back! read more

Sat at the bar last night and everything was perfect. The hazy beer(s) I had hit the spot. Ordered the grouper and it was fabulous with the smashed sweet potatoes. The Caesar salad was really good as was the Tiramisu. I've been to most of the restaurants in Durango and this one is rightly near the top of the list. read more

Atmosphere was charming and looked fancy but we were pleasantly surprised that it was very inviting and not at all stuffy. The staff was welcoming and very attentive. Our meal was excellent and the service was top notch. My husband and I both had an appetizer, an entree and an adult beverage and our bill was only $53.00. This was a great find and we will definitely be back. read more

636 Main was phenomenal. I had a quick dinner at the bar w some to go pasta for my son. The Bartenders are awesome and lively. The food was high quality. Prices are affordable. I will definitely be back. read more

636 Main Ave - Grilled 8 oz . Filet Mignon w grilled shrimp, potato lasagna and spinach. Amazing meal and Ambiance !!!! - New American Near Me - Durango, Colorado

What a fabulous meal at a fabulous place !! We flew into Salt Lake City on a red eye the night before from Hawaii.. Drove down to Mesa Verde National park & after reading the reviews ...decided to make a reservation here which is now 636 Main ... Tired and ready for a good meal were we and we were not disappointed!!! Our Martinis were amazing .. My husband had the the blue cheese wedge salad while I chose the Ceasar salad which was a meal on its own ... Unfortunately they were out of the prime rib ...I would suggest requesting they save one for you if you are booking a reservation...so husband ordered the NY strip while I chose the meatloaf .... His steak was grilled to perfection and my meatloaf was delicious.. No room for dessert ..so wanted to taste the tiramisu but our dinner was so delightful that we ate everything on our plates !!! Antonio was our server ..& a fine job he did in taking care of us !! In the end ...I highly recommend this place .. Cannot say one bad word about our experience :))) read more

When our party of four entered, we were asked if we made reservations. We did not, but they had a couple of tables open. The server was nice and courteous, but not exactly friendly. We had the complementary bread, breadsticks and butter. The bread was a little greasy, the breadsticks were like long cheese-it crackers. My meatloaf, mashed potatoes and spinach were excellent. The other people had mahi mahi and pork chop medallions. They said it was very good. The only downside was my wife getting ill before dinner was served. I took the Chinese chicken salad back to the hotel... and when I opened it, most of the lettuce had brown edges... like it was old. read more

Great service. Food was good for the price. Pleasant staff and very much aim to please.

The food was exquisite! We had the filet mignons, but was almost tempted w/ the special, crusted salmon! Their specialty drinks, infusions of all kinds, were excellent! I had a raspberryritatini - delicious! Topped off w/strawberry creme brûlée, yummy! Tyler, our waiter, was the best! Great service and reasonably priced! We highly recommend Ken & Sue's. We'll be back if we visit Durango again! read more

When it comes to dining, Durango has a lot to offer. We surveyed the options and selected Ken & Sue's because the menu was diverse and you could order a decent meal without breaking the bank. I had the Mussels in coconut milk (w/bok choy) and my husband ordered the Pork Belly as appetizer. Both were excellent, full of flavor and well portioned. I might even try to duplicate the mussel recipe. For the main dish, I had the Chicken Caesar with bacon and avocado. It was fresh, tasty and more than I could eat in one sitting (lunch tomorrow!). Hubby ordered the boneless rib eye special and was very pleased with both the flavor and preparation; our server was happy to accommodate our carb-free preferences by substituting steamed spinach instead of the pasta (also nicely prepared and clearly fresh). The Prosecco I ordered was not that great so our server happily brought over a shot of Chambord to fix it.....what a gal! All in all, we were most happy with our restaurant choice. Pro Tip: Do not show up without a reservation, we saw several groups turned away on the Thursday night we were there. read more
