With 3 pool tables, a tornado foosball table, good local beers on tap and a juke box loaded with good music, this is a great place to find a nice collection of locals, students and bikers out having a drink on pretty much any night of the week in the summer. Bonus points for the owners fighting the good fight for smokers rights! I don't smoke, but think bar owners should have the right to decide whether to allow smoking or not. The owners, Heidi and Rob Orio, went to Denver and fought to get the smoking ban exemption afforded to "cigar bars" and won ( http://cbs4denver.com/politics/local_story_031072430.html ). A lot of politicians were upset that their "cigar bar" expemption could be used by places other than the big money casinos they intended to protect with the expemption. Good for the Orios, and good for Durango!

We also got to meet "The Dude"--a Big Lebowski reference that made our visit even more enjoyable. One thing we really liked was the variety. We ordered mozzarella sticks, a chicken breast, and mashed potatoes, and appreciated that they offer many items individually rather than only as full entrées. The food was good, the portions were generous, and the service was friendly. It's also within easy walking distance of downtown Durango and many of the nearby hotels. A great casual spot if you're looking for comfort food and plenty of options.

I've eaten at the Durango Diner since my college days, forty years ago. Being in the area I was…read morebeyond happy to see it was still open so our final breakfast for this brief trip had to be here. The restaurant is tiny, a narrow shotgun type unit in a building along main street. We managed to get one of their five tables and were promptly served drinks and time to look over the menu before ordering the Country Benedict. My coffee was kept filled as we waited for our order. As soon as the plate hit the table, I knew that even though the owner had changed, the spirit of the place remained. The plate of food was massive; more than the two of us could eat. The plate included two halves of an excellent biscuit, half of a large sausage patty on each, an over easy egg; all smothered in country sausage gravy. The other half of the plate had a mound of beautiful browned hash browns. Enough for four people or at least two very hungry people. It was glorious and nostalgic. The flavor was everything I wanted it to be. If you are in or near Durango, please consider giving this true old diner a try. Thanks to Greg, the new owner, for continuing Gary's recipes and hospitality.

We stopped in for breakfast when we didn't realize there was an art festival going on in the city of Durango, so we expected it to feel crowded, busy and rushed. They found a table for us right away (part of that was lucky timing on our part), but provided great service.... Answering all of our questions and asking where we are from and overall friendly service. We all ordered the breakfast burritos and it was better than what we expected. I highly recommend the green chili sauce they smother the burrito in.... It's super tasty! And in the end, the price was lower than we expected.... So, great environment, great food. 5 stars! I would be happy to come back to this one!
