Beautiful setting, really enjoyed our meal, very friendly and the market was amazing.

My wife and I went to lunch and the food was great, and the place was amazing. We were scouting for a unique place we could have lunch or dinner with a group of customers we invited to Durango for later in the summer. Ok so why 3 stars. They do not take American Express. I never really understood why independent restaurants take this hard core line against taking AX. I have engaged dozens of owners over the years and they all say the same. AX charges to much. So your telling me your extra fees are more then my future business and the future business of me entertaining 20 customers. Durango has a lot of amazing restaurants and it is a pretty competitive market. Sadly we won't be back. There is a small diner 2 miles away that understands that some customers prefer AX. read more

Grass fed beef- enough said! We ordered 2 different burgers for 2 of us and no sides for our lunch. They were both so delicious we each ordered another. Probably the best burgers I have ever had and I worked in 2 five star restaurants before... Property is nice but would love to see them expand the places visitors can go - it would be nice to see more of their acreage. read more

We went with friends and it was close by. I guess my expectations were guiding my taste buds. I had the basic burger (cause if you can't do the basics then give it up) and the burger was just OK. I know they advertise as a farm to table experience but I didn't see any of that. This is a great place for kids but it's not the gourmet place of which others speak. read more

Awesome family owned business. The view is beautiful and atmosphere is great. The wait is sometimes a little long but that is because they have so many customers! I would highly recommend the signature burger. read more

20/10 The food was warm and amazing. The service was super great too. They have adapted well to the pandemic. The view is so nice. They give you many options... I will definitely come back read more

The grass fed burgers, gourmet fries, and the squash based veggie burger were all cooked perfectly and delicious. Expect to pay $15-20 per adult depending on how our choice of beverage but the food, service, and gorgeous setting in the heart of the Animas Valley make it a good bargain. read more

Brand new building, incredible views, fire place, ADA accessibility, small menu, everything we ordered was fresh and well prepared. Delicious food. Local beer, wine, and cider. Not very busy. Fast & friendly service. read more

OMG the burger most def lived up to the hype, I almost broke down and had seconds but my pockets couldnt afford it. The flavor was impeccable. The atmosphere was delightful. The only downside is I felt it was a little pricey for the size. But I will be a regular most def! read more

This is one of our favorite places in Durango. The atmosphere is great, the staff is super friendly and the food is amazing

food is pretty decent only thing i don't like is zuberfizz i swear that's a money loundering scheme because man that's the worst soda i've had ever read more

OH. MY. GOODNESS. Do I dare say this is the best burger I've ever had? Yes. Hands down! I'll be dreaming about that burger for months. Durango was a pit stop for my husband and I while on our honeymoon. We knew we would eat lunch somewhere in the town so I searched Yelp. We're both on a gluten free diet by choice (not Celiac), and we crave burgers now and again. Finding places that serve gluten free buns is hard but finding places that make their own?! Pretty much nonexistent. I ordered the signature burger and my hubby got the jalapeño popper burger both with GF buns and potato chips. It took about fifteen minutes to get our food. It didn't seem that long because we were sitting outside at one of their picnic tables enjoying the beautiful view of the farm. The burgers were phenomenal! Juicy, natural, grass-fed beef cooked to perfection. The GF bun was flavorful and it would've tasted great all by itself. Everything was simple but they used such high quality ingredients that it didn't need to be fancy or elaborate to taste great. All I can say is I'm really sad that we live 6 hours away from this place. It might actually be a good thing because I would want to eat here everyday and I'd be broke! If you're in Durango, do yourself a favor and eat at Harvest Grill & Greens!! read more

Stopped in for dinner after being in Ouray for the day and had a great experience. Excellent, fresh burgers and the setting overlooking the valley could not be beat. After dinner, we walked around the grounds, which out kids enjoyed. We also stopped into their market which had a variety of high quality meats, cheeses and produce. read more

Best. Burger. (the "basic" is anything but basic.) Great staff. Beautiful setting. read more

This place has wonderful staff, natural ambiance, delicious fresh quality food with varying specials. Great place for soo many occasions from casual dining to special occasions. read more

delicious n scrumptious !!!! Fun for the whole family!!! Even dog friendly!!! Its pricy but definitely worth the trip

I guess a place with all five star reviews doesn't really need my 2 cents, but...the hamburgers were the best we've had in, forever. Sitting at a picnic table looking over the lush river bottom was a bonus. So good we bought some frozen ground beef to go and don't you know I got credit for being a fantastic grill master just a few days later. read more

Stopped by this place on the recommendation from our AirBnB host. Great outdoor seating, grass fed beef and good local beer. My son and I had the Green Chili Pico Burger and it was great. This was just a great relaxing place for a simple meal. Great space for kids read more

What a great find! Beautiful location and great food, done the right way. A true farm to table experience.

This is a pretty cool place for a burger. They encouraged my friends not to have their burger cooked "well done" to get more flavor. Sorry, but it is well done for me these days. Regardless, my burger was pretty good. For me, it is a rare occasion that I rate a burger as being better than the one I can make at home...so sorry, it is just 4 stars for me today. I also had a side salad which was actually better than most I that I have had. Seating is outside and there is a little self guided tour you can take to learn about the place. Next time I am in the Durango area, I'd eat here again without argument and highly suggest you try it. But please understand, there is not a large selection to choose from...in fact, it is a very limited selection. read more

Lost count how many times that I've eaten here. If you love a good burger, you have to stop in here. Quality beef, cooked to perfection. Amazing outdoor space for dining. Good selection of local beers. You can't beat the views or food - period. read more

Very good burgers and a really nice atmosphere outside dining is nice and they have some tables inside as well. Everything was very fresh. The Only thing I did not like was that they charge you for drink refills... I felt like for the price point they shouldn't nickel and dime you to refill your drink. - That being said the lemonade was TOP NOTCH I'm pretty certain it was homemade and I did pay $1 for an extra refill because I really enjoyed it. ( plus I drank a whole large cup before my meal was really) Also this place is kid friendly. So that's a nice plus! Overall this was an awesome dinner experience! I highly recommend it if you're in the area! read more

Great burgers and very nice setting! We always bring our guest here for a night. It's not the cheapest burger in town but they are good.

My family and I visited James Ranch while we were in Durango for the day last August. We loved Harvest Grill & Greens...the food, outdoor seating, beautiful view, everything! I ordered the Signature Veggie Burger and it was spectacular! I would definitely order it again. read more

Always beautiful and the food is amazing. We love to buy from their farm store too. They have the best grass fed beef and any produce they're selling is fresh, delicious and local. We never miss a chance to stop here while in Durango. read more

You just can't beat Farm-to-Table for quality and flavor! No joke - this was the best burger of my life! I also had their summer salad - and WOW - the lettuce had a delicious hearty flavor I've never tasted before. My City Gal tastebuds just got elevated to a whole other level! read more

If you haven't yet been to the James Ranch Grill, you owe it to yourself to go once they open for the season around 5/31. The burgers, topped with thin crusty fried onions, and served on a homemade bun are among the best I've ever had, and I've had quite a few! The coleslaw is quite tasty. It's a real pleasure to sit at picnic tables under their huge trees. There's lots of room for children to run and play. I haven't been to the summer concerts here, but am told they are special, too. Enjoy! read more

The best burger you will ever eat! In the city you always hear a place is "farm to table". This place takes that term to a whole other level. Here you actually get to eat at the farm! The scenery is gorgeous in the summertime. My only advice is to make sure you add an egg to your burger. You won't be disappointed. read more

James Ranch Grill - Great burger and Summer salad. Make sure to add an egg to your burger! - New American Near Me - Durango, Colorado

This place is exceptional. Great service, outstanding food. And the bread and vegetables from the market are some of the freshest I've ever had. The James Ranch is a must visit when in Durango. read more

The yelp reviews were correct - the burger is AMAZING! Meat is really delicious, and the toppings are really fresh. Not to mention that the farm is great - for several reasons: 1. Dog friendly - and really, truly friendly towards dogs; they were super welcoming and let our eager Golden Retriever meet the baby goats: Hansel & Gretel. 2. Views - so stunning! 3. Farm animals - baby goats, chickens; one of the owners let visiting kids feed the baby goats out of bottles 4. Friendly, family run farm 5. And once again, one of the most delicious burgers I've ever had. We can't wait to return! read more

Is love too strong an emotion to describe the ranch? We split the Signature Burger and the Veggie Burger with the kale salad. It's the first time I've ever finished eatong before my husbnd lol. The food was fresh and delicious included the gorgeous gluten free bun! YUM! The absolute best burgers we've ever had! Our dog Matilda lounged on the cool green terrace enjoying a couple bites of our food before partaking in their doggie treats. She gave it 2 paws up. We purchased a couple packs for the road. She also enjoyed seeing the little goats. I admire their philosophy at the ranch... go read their blogs! I'm big fan of local produce and meats and quality farming. I love love love they have several generations running the enterprises with respect for the environment. I loaded up on delcious artisian cheeses and beef to take home. Luckily the rv we rented has a freezer and fridge! We were full so took gluten free brownies and cookies for snacks and Strawberry Rhubarb ice cream. Tonight we dine in style at the intermediary rv site. Oh nd I forgot to mention Mason's hine made fudge! Yep had to have it along with their hand crafter lotion and lip balm. Since we had Matilda with and I'm in a walking cast we didn't do a farm tour nor see the produce/flower gardens. That'll be for another time. The beautiful lush green fields and happy cows was an impressive back drop! I admit I was stalking the farm on social media for the pst 2 weeks after discovering it as dog friendly and gluten free friendly. I was not disappointed in the least! Make an effort to drop in for a real treat. Check the their schedule first as I believe they take a rest on Sunday. See ya next year! read more

Had the Pico burger, not that great had a strange taste, French fries over done tasted burnt. Expensive for a burger, best part the view and outdoor seating. read more

Amazing food and environment! We ordered the steak sandwiches and the burgers which were all flavorful. The fingerling potatoes perfectly crisped and the kale slaw was so delish! They had several beers on tap and were refreshing. And to top it all, we sat at picnic tables outside in the back overlooking the farm, mountains, and river. Can't get better than that, esp during this time of Covid. read more

One year later and we were not disappointed. The burgers are just as delicious as the first time we came. Durango is our "go to" vacation spot and Harvest Grill & Greens at James Ranch will always be our "go to" place for the best hamburgers we have ever enjoyed. While seating is outdoors with magnificent mountains, pasture, and river views, they do have a couple of covered areas. This year we stuck with the Signature burgers complete with fried egg and bacon - while there are other items on the menu, these burgers are so uniquely tasty that I couldn't bring myself to try anything else. Perhaps, if we lived in Durango, we would be more willing to sample their other menu items. (Note: I seldom order a burger if there are other choices on the menu. Burgers just aren't my thing. Only ordered a burger the first time based on the reviews). As mentioned in other reviews, a small market is on the property. The market sells products from either their own ranch/farm or small, local suppliers: meat (open range, grass fed), amazing cheeses processed at the ranch, produce, and ice cream. This year we took the time to learn a little more about this family owned ranch. There are brochures in the market which explains how their land and animals are cared for. In addition, we enjoyed chatting with Stan, grandson of the couple who started the ranch. Based on our conversations with Stan (whose advice on the ice cream was 'spot-on'), we appreciated even more this family's dedication to quality and responsible farming (i.e., raising animals which are cared for and sustaining the land by rotating crops, natural fertilizers, etc.). Location: The first time we came here, we missed the ranch and had to double back to find it. This year we learned...the location is just past Honeyville (if you're coming from Durango), on the opposite side of the road. read more

So good. Got the burger and my wife got the steak sandwich. Everything is fresh and the atmosphere is fun as heck

This is by far my favorite spot to eat at in Durango area. Best farm to table experience I've ever had. I LOVE bringing new people to check out this unique ranch, grocery, and grill. The inside out grilled cheese (add egg, onions, and tomato) is always my go to. Also, love their super sweet goats Cookies and Creme, who love to be petted and loved on. This spot is currently closed for construction and counting down the days till they re-open. I probably visited this Ranch once or twice a week.. Worth every penny! read more

Talk about farm to fork, you can hear the cattle lowing in the background and play with their new baby goats (Snicker and Doodle). Menu is somewhat limited and social distancing outdoors. Had hamburger and scrumptious steak sandwich with fingerling fries. Very tasty. Market has fresh meat, goat cheese and produce in season. A little pricey but definitely healthy and supports local ranchers and farmers. read more

I'm giving this 4 stars because of the location and atmosphere. I went in August when the evening weather was perfect for outdoor seating and the view was incredible. The food, however, was just ok. I got the inside out cheese melt. My friend got the steak sandwich, though, and it was better. I'll definitely try something different next time! read more

On our recent trip to Durango this was our families favorite place we ate! The food was amazing. So fresh and delicious. The view was fantastic. Our kids had so much fun running around, playing the lawn games and petting the goats. We could have stayed there all night. Everyone there was so kind and helpful. And seriously the food was amazing. I would go there again and again!! read more
