Instead of being welcomed, we were immediately interrogated by the woman at the front, then questioned again by the bartender. We were seated and left sitting there for 30 minutes without a single person taking our order or offering service. Our waitress even apologized and admitted she "hates that she can't help us," making it obvious the staff had intentionally decided not to serve us. Throughout the entire time, my service dog was exactly where a service dog should be--quietly lying under the table at my feet, causing absolutely no disruption. After waiting half an hour, I finally asked if we were ever going to be served. That's when we were told the issue was my service dog. When I questioned this, the bartender's response was to tell me I "didn't need an attitude." I've written maybe five Yelp reviews in my life, but this experience deserves to be shared. The way we were treated was humiliating, discriminatory, and completely unacceptable. It felt like we were being singled out simply because I have a disability and rely on a service animal. All six of us got up and left because of how we were treated. Small businesses deserve support when they treat people with respect. This business did the opposite. I would never recommend this restaurant to anyone, and I sincerely hope no one else has to experience the kind of discrimination we did.

This was one of the best places in the area (Ouray included) that we ate at. When walking up, it…read morewas very busy with people waiting outside. The waitress taking down names seemed dazed, related to how to manage. Someone older and more experienced saw us, came over, answered our question about the wait, and immediately sat us. We very much appreciated it. Our waitress was very kind and attentive, checking in on us very often. We ordered the crispy chicken sandwich, the strawberry walnut salad, and the half order of chicken. The salad was fresh and tasted really good. I liked the vinaigrette that was offered. I also really liked the chicken sandwich. It tasted great with the fries after a long day of exploring and hiking. I'd definitely come back. I couldn't believe how many people were seated inside, and it seemed they had everything under control. People were enjoying themselves.

This is the highest rated restaurant in Silverton so we were excited to check it out during our…read moreDurango to Silverton Narrow Gauge railroad tour. First the good things. Although there was a group of 12 ahead of us, our wait was just 10 mins as they were pretty good about crowd management. The inside decor is super cool with taxidermy animals everywhere. We saw bobcat, mountain lion, mountain sheep, and all kinds of animals that you would expect to live in Colorado. There were super funny signs everywhere (my favorite was the oats one). The disappointment was the food portion size. I ordered a reuben sandwich for $19 which came with a very skinny portion of meat between two small pieces of toast. We barely got maybe 10 fries with it. For $19 I expected the portion size to be a little bigger. Their draft beer were on the smaller size at 12 oz instead of the standard 16oz. Come here to checkout the cool wall decorations and maybe get a drink but skip the food. If a real cowboy walked into this saloon, he would be pretty angry by the portion size and probably start a bar fight!

We happened to drive by and immediately noticed the amazing aroma from this BBQ spot, so we decided…read moreto stop for dinner. It turned out to be a great choice. The young staff was friendly, polite, and helpful, offering recommendations that made it easy to decide without spending too much time reviewing the menu. I ordered the BBQ Tater, which was absolutely huge and easily large enough to share. It was flavorful, satisfying, and one of the highlights of the meal. My son enjoyed his pulled pork sandwich, though he felt the cheesy potatoes were just average compared to the rest of the food. The prices were very reasonable and competitive for a BBQ restaurant, especially considering the portion sizes. Low top and patio seating. Overall, we had a positive experience and would gladly stop again when we're in the area.

It is also attached to the Camel's Garden Hotel so a convenient location. The bartenders, cashiers and other staff seamed friendly. They were in and out delivering food and cleaning up after everyone quickly. Drinks came quickly and were nice pours. For food, we ordered the steak fries, very good. Crispy outside, tender inside. Nachos were also very tasty. Real cheese not the sauce type fake cheese. Good toppings. The pork sandwich was a little dry and needed seasoning and sauce. The burger was a little dry as well, not cooked to order and the bun was dry and fell apart. But it came with all the toppings. Inside the restaurant were several families. Packed! Kids running around everywhere. It was way too chaotic for us personally so we sat outside. The patio was busy every afternoon with people and pups alike. I was sad to see so many people leave their dogs outside on the patio unattended, barking and whining looking for their person while they are inside drinking and dining. This happened every day so it seams normal. Telluride is a very dog friendly town. Overall good for after ski atmosphere. There seamed to always be some activity happening outside to watch or participate.

When I asked Doug what I should I order if I could only have one thing, he said, "Turkey". I thought I heard wrong, but no; Doug was adamant about his turkey. I'm glad I took his advice as it was the best, super moist, smoked turkey that I've ever eaten. The brisket was well above average and the pulled pork, although very good came in 3rd, with the turkey the winner. I ordered the Cheesy potatoes and the baked beans as sides. Both were outstanding. The serving size was large and the price was very reasonable for the quality. Outdoor seating only or takeout as it is just a temporary building. Definitely give Doug's a try if you're in Creede, Colorado; you will not be disappointed.

We really hesitated to try the bbq because we haven't had the greatest experiences lately. Their lunch menu is between 11-2 & we arrived around 2:10 so some of the menu items were all gone, for instance, ribs & sliced brisket. So my husband got chopped brisket, it wasn't swimming in sauce instead it was on the side & to tell you the truth it didn't need any sauce which is a telling sign of good bbq! We also got pulled pork & that was really good too but I think the brisket was better. On my check in I accidentally clicked that the staff is not wearing masks & they really are. I didn't go in but my husband said it's very clean & nice inside, maybe 8 tables & there's about 4 outdoor tables.

One of the cans was craft beer too which was pretty cool. Good, local vibes spot!

There were three of us, and we ordered the French toast with scrambled eggs, biscuits and gravy with eggs over easy, and the traditional breakfast with wheat toast. Every plate was huge, the food arrived hot and full of flavor, and everything was cooked just right. Our waiter was wonderful! Very friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. Great service really made the experience even better. We're so grateful we decided to see for ourselves instead of relying solely on the reviews. Natalia's exceeded our expectations, and we hope others will give this local spot a chance too. We'll definitely be back!

The house bbq sauce on the tables was a watery mess. The "hot sauce" was better than the BBQ sauce but also very thin. The smoked turkey was the highlight. The brisket was very fatty and flavorless. No bark to speak of. The weird part, most BBQ joints are priced per pound, 1/2 or 1/4 pound. It looked that way on their menu, however they seem to just eyeball it. Ordered 1/4 pound of turkey and got 2 slices. Someone else in our party got 3 slices. Both of us paid a flat rate. Skip this place if you're truly into BBQ. Also, the flies were driving us crazy.
