My partner, his family, and I went here for dinner tonight. It's the day before Labor Day so it was…read moresuper busy, but the family said it was worth the wait. The line was super long when we arrived and we waited about 20 minutes to order. His family said it was the longest they've ever seen it. I ordered the Mushroom Belford Burger, medium well, with no onions. My partner got the same but with the onions and cooked medium. The rest of our group each got the Signature Burger, medium rare. We also split two orders of large fries. My partner got a root beer and I got a cherry cream soda. Everything was delicious! It was absolutely worth the wait. My burger was more towards well done than medium well, which is something I see a lot and I think I'm just going to start ordering medium any time I get a burger now. It was juicy and delicious, and the rosemary garlic aioli was delicious! The fry sauce was also some of the best I've had, and we left the cup scraped clean. The fries tasted fresh and were well-cooked. My partner said the root beer was great and my cherry cream soda was delicious. I had gotten a small and I was contemplating going back to order another in a large, it was that good! All of the employees we interacted with were super friendly. It was a bit of a struggle to find a table outside just because of the holiday weekend, but we found a perfect table that fit all of us under a tree. We took a little walk by the pasture and read the info signs after dinner which was a great way to end the evening. This place is fantastic and well worth the wait! It is pretty expensive (we paid about $146 after a 20% tip) so it may be better for special occasions, but it is all so fresh and pure that it's very much worth the price you pay. My partner and I don't live in Durango but his family does, so I'm hopeful we will be back the next time we visit.

Not only is the staff amazing, the owners - Rob and Karen, are among the nicest people who have opened their restaurant to many fundraisers for locals when in need. This is a biker friendly bar that also has people of all ages and walks of life frequenting it on a regular basis. The food is always fast, excellent and the beer is the coldest you will find anywhere in the area. Great live music on weekends. Bike rally's and flat screen tv's all over the place showing the latest sporting event. A couple of warm stoves and fireplaces make this a really cozy place in colder weather and the expansive decks are great for drinks and dining as well. As a long time Vallecito resident, I am really glad they are here. We love the Hideaway - where there are no strangers, just friends you haven't met yet!

Not my favorite type of table as I am shorter and having to keep my feet on the footrest or dangle them is uncomfortable. The A.C. was also running on a rainy cold day. I kept my jacket on throughout the meal, which is a little uncomfortable. On to the food, I ordered a shrimp scampi, which came with spinach, asparagus, and red pepper. Lots of veggies and shrimp, with smaller portion of pasta. It was delicious. My S.O. ordered the beef bordelaise, with gravy, mashed potatoes, and asparagus. Unfortunately, the beef bordelaise had several cold bites in it. Thankfully the mashed potatoes were hot so he could mix the bites. He did not ask them to address it. He definitely does not like to send things back, and cause issues with the kitchen. I would have sent it back, especially with the chilly day and AC running. Our waitress was friendly; she checked on us periodically and took empty plates quickly (huge plus!) and brought the check quickly. Happy to eat lunch here, but if I go there again, I will ask to sit in the front at a regular table.

The sauce they cover it with has a small spicy kick to it... just enough to not be too hot but it adds flavor. I could only eat half the burrito until I got full. For the price, I felt like it matched the quality. They also had ample amount of bacon so I could really taste it. Some other burrito places put a small sprinkle where it's barely there. This place had nice thick crispy crumbles. I went during the morning where everyone brought their dog. There's lots of seating outside.

We prefer when the chicken is pounded flatter and still crispy under the sauce. If you prefer it thick, this was a nice serving.

All the plates being served around us looked very good too. Very nice atmosphere in this quaint restaurant - wait staff was very attentive and kind.
