I think the prices are fair, and the portions are on the large side. The ambience is cool, and the service is very fast. It wasn't crowded during my visits, but even with a line, you'll get your food quickly. There are lots of vegan and veggie options. Stuff for the kids too. Our food was ok. We both ordered off the menu, rather than making our own salad / bowl. I had the Vietnamese bowl - chicken, quinoa, cabbage, cucumber and carrots, with a vaguely Asian dressing. My fiancé had the Caesar salad with chicken, and while it bore little resemblance to a Caesar salad, he enjoyed it. I can recommend this place for a quick and healthy lunch, but look over the menu, and consider building your own. Happy travels! Seatbelts!

We started with the Bavarian pretzel, which was served with beer cheese and mustard. It was delicious and fresh! I then had the southwestern burger, which is always a favorite of mine because of the green chilis. The burgers are always cooked nicely (I order medium) and I was able to substitute a side salad, which was easily one of the best side salads I've ever had at a brewery. We are doing dry January, so no beers this time, but had a lovely hop water that they brew there and even left with a growler full. Highly recommend Steamworks for an authentic Durango experience or if you're just trying to catch a game or hangout with friends. It definitely has fun, local brewery vibes. We will definitely be back!

Price was way high for the mediocre food.

He was knowledgeable, friendly, and had a genuine smile the entire time. His energy was infectious and really brightened the atmosphere. Definitely a must-stop when passing through Durango.

The steak was incredibly flavorful and practically melted in my mouth. What stood out most was how well everything complemented each other, the seafood, pasta, and steak created a perfectly balanced dish. My husband ordered the Ahi, and it was equally delicious, fresh, well-prepared, and full of flavor. We started with the calamari and were pleasantly surprised when it came with homemade fettuccine. It was honestly some of the best calamari we've had in a long time, perfectly cooked and beautifully paired. Overall, this is a great choice if you're looking for an upscale dining experience with thoughtfully prepared dishes. Definitely recommend.

Lucky for me, they had so many food options from all the food trucks and a bar at the center. I decided to eat at the slider food truck and ordered one fliet mignon slider and the Cajun fries. They give you a buzzer to let you know when the order is ready. During that time, we walked around to some of the other food trucks to check out their menus. We ended up grabbing at table just in time before we experienced torrential rain. Mind you, it had been sunny and 78 degrees just five minutes before and suddenly was freezing. Well, my version of freezing. Finally the buzzer went off and my sister picked up my order. We all shared the Cajun fries because the portion was definitely shareable and they were so good. The filet slider really impressed me! The blue cheese and caramelized onions were the perfect touch. I'll definitely be coming back here next time I'm in Durango!

This comes with Blue Cheese Crumbles, which I omitted, Spinach, Roasted Garlic Aioli & Caramelized Onion. I've had this dish before & it's always been grest, however tonight there were several areas on the filet pieces that were raw. (I just ate the cooked steak.)

Counter service wasn't up to par either, not particularly friendly. I'm hoping this was just a one-off.
