So let me tell you a story about how Pine Cone saved my night…read more... I rented a spot at Vallecito Lake for my birthday. I did not plan food for Saturday night ( tonight) because there is a grill near the lake. We get to the grill for food and it is over an hour and a half wait for both dine in and to go. We leave and drive to Bayfield for a restaurant that said it was open until 8:30. Surprise! They were not. We then go to a brewery and cannot eat there because they don't allow dogs on the patio ( did I tell you I had my dog? Because I did) so I lookup anything that is open in the area and alas, there is Pine Cone. The food was delicious and the staff was so nice. Thank you Pine Cone for coming through for us tonight

I have been sitting in this drive-thru for 55 minutes. You could slaughter a cow, throw it on the…read moregrill, and serve it in that amount of time. There are still two cars in front of me, four cars trapped behind me, and two people have already bailed out of line. The only reason I'm even stuck here is that Subway and everything else nearby is closed. This is hands down the slowest restaurant I have ever been to. When I called inside, an employee claimed they got hit with a busload of football players. Even so, 55 minutes for a drive-thru burger is absurd. Why are drive-thru orders deprioritized behind an entire bus that is still standing in line placing orders? I'm not expecting two-minute McDonald's speed, but an hour? I could have gone to a sit-down restaurant, had a full meal and a drink, and already been on my way home.

We had THE BEST breakfast today at Brenda's! I've never had a chicken fried steak that good. It was…read morefreshly breaded and fried to perfection. The homemade biscuit was fluffy and perfect.

Stopped by for lunch when in Vallecito and we really loved BSB! The food was delicious- split the…read moreranchers plate (I think that's what it's called, a variety of smoked meats) and it was more than enough for the two of us... especially considering we got Mac and cheese as the side lol. Super cute space with inside and outside options (outside is shaded), and while we were there midweek and I'm sure a slower time everyone was very nice and attentive. Liked it so much we bought a pint glass... and promptly forgot it on the counter (because how often do you walk away from a place w one of their glasses right?!). When I called to see if we could pick it up on our way home early the next day they were SO nice and tucked one away outside so that we could swing by and grab it. Highly recommend if you are in the area!

(We stopped in Durango for a short period of time on a roadtrip) This was also the first time I've ever seen "frings" on a menu, it's just a mix of fries and onion rings and it was perfect because I wanted both and couldn't decide. The onion rings in particular were phenomenal. I also loved the little street-side dining area. It was a great spot to enjoy the meal outside and get some fresh air. The service was friendly and helpful, and they answered all of our questions with honest recommendations. I also like that you can order from an iPad if there's a line and you already know what you want. Definitely a place I'd recommend and happily come back to!

Famburger is a humble little spot in Durango. After a long day on the road with our two-year-old,…read morethis was the type of place we needed! Seating is all outdoors. Most of it is covered with booths or high tops, then there are tables on the sidewalk with umbrellas. I make a note of this because we were here around 5/530pm and the sun was absolutely brutal. Not only for us, but for the employees too. The menu is a throwback to yesteryear. Think burger and shake shack on the beach. My pictures may not look like much. Sure, they aren't huge burgers, but they do have good flavor! I had the bacon cheeseburger and Nashville hot chicken sandwich. These were both good, and I might even give the edge to the latter. It's got that fast food nostalgia, but with better ingredients and none of the artificial taste. I snuck a few bites of the fries and they were good and crispy. I like that they serve beer, and since it was vacation I opted for a local Ska Brewing IPA. Won't put a dent in your wallet and it'll deliver what you really want to eat. Famburger, you got a fan right here!

Staff was super friendly and made some great recommendations (green chili smothered fries). The restaurant was clean and had a relaxed vibe.

We asked for a few changes and asked for toasted bread. Everything was delicious and on point. The fries were excellent and fried in tallow and extra crispy as requested. The accommodations at the restaurant are modest but it all works well. Definitely check them out. They close at 4pm and are not open on Sunday or Monday.

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.

We ordered a…read moreHawaiian pizza and a salad, but the salad was no longer on the menu, so we ended up just ordering the pizza. When I got there I saw they had peach cobbler on the menu, so I asked for it to be added to the order. The brought out the pizza right away, but it took nearly 30 min to get the peach cobbler. I had to ask to see if they could get it out earlier since I had a to go order and they did. Everyone was super friendly about it. The Hawaiian pizza was supposed to have prosciutto on it, but it looked more like thin sliced ham. And it had raw jalapenos, not pickled. Super spicy! The cobbler was great. Kinda wish they put the ice cream in a separate container cause I had to eat it before my pizza so it wouldn't melt and also stay warm. The cobbler was more like a scone on top of hot peaches, but I enjoyed it! Also attached some updated menu since their website is out of date They had live music, but it was sounding just okay .. kinda glad we ordered it to go
