Great flavor, the bun was nice too. The chile was spicy! It didn't blow my mind but was still good. Fries and drink: $5.00. Tasty fries. $25 for burger, fries and drink is expensive but the views are dope so I'd like to try other items. 5 stars for the views and service, plus good burger.

The melt might have been my favorite thing with the crispy cheese on the outside. The float was delicious. I loved the sauces for the fries. I personally wouldn't get the slaw again because it was more of a kale salad which isn't my thing. I will come back here every time I visit Durango because this was hands down the best place we ate.

What an amazing vacation! I attended a work retreat at Majestic Dude Ranch for four nights and had…read morea wonderful experience! The setting is serene and beautiful. The grounds are quite expansive and dotted with the lodge and cabins. The cabin was very comfortable and clean. They offer many activities including: horseback riding, mountain biking, fly fishing, UTV riding, hiking, skeet shooting, a swimming pool, and more (even a mechanical Bull!). The food was prepared on site and delicious! Beef centric menu but so tasty, and they accommodated a vegetarian in our party easily. I looked forward to the breakfast each night and dinner each morning! The best part of the stay, however, was the staff. They were amazing! They took care of everything, and always with a smile. They do everything at the ranch, and the team here takes the experience to the next level. I highly recommend a trip here to unwind and recharge!

Upon arrival, the young lady checked their booking schedule and let us know that they had a cancellation earlier that day and a cabin on the river was available. She said she wanted to do one last walk through to ensure it was cleaned and ready before we checked in. Thank goodness it was good to go. It was super cute, incredibly clean, and surprising spacious... even if it was just my husband and I. We got the deluxe cabin, so it had a queen-sized bed on the first floor and another bed in the loft area. This would have been even more perfect for a family with kiddos. Either way, sitting on the back porch listening to the river and the birds chirping was pretty darn relaxing. The bed was super comfy and the bathroom and shower were a good size. All in all, great place to stay! Their location falls right between Telluride and Dolores, Co. We would definitely stay here again.

Almost like when you could buy dark russet chips back in the day, I just loved them. Burger was very good as was the steak sandwich. The only thing I can say that is negative is that the food is overpriced a little. You're paying for the tremendous view and atmosphere, and the food quality is very good but a burger ala carte is like 17.00 and comes with no sides.

If you're passionate about high-quality meat and supporting local ranching, Bell Beef Country Store…read moreis the kind of place you'll want to know about. Nestled just north of Cortez, this family-owned country store brings fresh, ranch-to-table beef straight from the pasture to your plate -- and the difference in taste and quality is something you can truly savor. What makes Bell Beef special isn't just the excellent product, but the story and people behind it. This operation grew out of decades of ranching experience, with Scott Bell raising cattle for years and his son Kasey and daughter Raedene, stepping in to help build the business into what it is today. The Bell family's hands-on approach means you're not just buying meat -- you're buying something they're personally proud of. Walking into the store feels like visiting a local favorite rather than a generic market. The selection is impressive: premium cuts, ground beef, steaks, jerky, snack sticks, and even bulk freezer bundles are all available, vacuum-sealed for freshness and convenience. It's obvious a lot of thought goes into every choice on the shelves, and customers often comment on how delicious and rich the flavor is. The staff is welcoming and knowledgeable, ready to help whether you're picking out something for dinner or planning meals for weeks to come. The community vibe here is strong -- people return again and again because they trust the quality and enjoy the personal touch. If you're in the Cortez area and want beef that tastes like it came straight from the ranch -- because it did -- I highly recommend stopping by Bell Beef. It's a true gem for meat lovers and a great example of local family business done right.

We also tried the pizza and pretzels. Both were delicious and a big hit with all our kids. The space is lovely and very welcoming, along with the staff. I am going to ensure that we have the right timing every time we come through town to make sure that we are able to make a stop here. Don't miss it!
