AS a resident of Durango for over 25 years, I was very disappointed in the quality of the food. We decided to split the Pandemonium prime rib, which was had disproportional amount of fat. Very poor cut of meat. Considering that our bill, was well over a hundred dollars, we will not repeat this mistake again. However, the salad bar was as great as usual. We ordered a cheese cake and a crème brûlée for dessert. The cheesecake was so bad, I could not even eat it, however the crème brûlée was excellent.

We’ve eaten here twice and ABSOLUTELYHORRIBLESERVICE!!! It took a long time for them to take our order and longer to serve it – and they weren’t that busy! And after our meal was served we never saw our waiter again until he brought us the check! We wanted more drinks; more butter; I wanted more lemon and bread and we never got anything! I left him exactly what he deserved: a two-cent tip! I will NEVER eat here again!

The food? Eh. Nothing spectacular. On par with Red Lobster, but waaaaaaay more expensive. The décor looks as though that special window of late 80’s-early 90’s interior design got salmonella and barfed all over the place. Elder folks rather enjoy it, but I won’t be crossing the threshold of that restaurant again with all of the myriad of other dining options I have available to me in Durango.

We asked the owner of the B&B we were staying at for restaurant suggestions for dinner and this ace was at the top of her list. As soon as I heard«wonderful salad bar» I was in… especially after eating junk-food in 3 airports on my way to Durango. It’s quaint and cozy inside and our waitress Taylor was as friendly as could be. There’s a great selection of fish and chicken and steak options on the menu and they are all served with fresh veggies and a choice of potato or rice. The salad bar can be added to any entrée for an additional $ 9. Wonderful bread and whipped butter were brought to the table. My friend had the salmon, veggies, a baked potato, and the salad bar and was as happy as could be. I thought it was a bit pricy at $ 23 plus $ 9(but that’s just me). I was as happy as could be with just the salad bar(which amazingly came with a choice of potato or rice on the side) for $ 12. The salad bar had everything imaginable on it and it was as fresh and yummy as could be! And my loaded(!!!) baked potato was the best one I’ve ever had… seriously! We were both stuffed and happy, but just had to have the«Death by Chocolate» dessert that the B&B owner gave us a coupon for. It was a Rocky Mountain sized piece of mocha mud pie ice cream in a chocolate cookie crust topped with clouds of whipped cream. Wow!

Was hoping for a really good fish dinner on our last night in Durango and since the reviews said it has been a spot in town for over 30 years was very optimistic that we had made the right choice — big mistake. Waited over 15 minutes for 2 glasses of wine Halibut special was ok but certainly not worth the $ 34 price tag. Husband ordered medium well filet mignon — inedible it was so over cooked! Poor service — less than mediocre food and very overpriced — what a disappointment for our last night in Durango.

On my hunt for fresh oysters as a landlocked Colordian I usually go to Highway 3 a Roadhouse here in dgo where they have consistency awesome oysters for a small Colorado town. However I was downtown and not wanting to drive so me and my Mom(another oyster lover) decided to try Red Snapper, we were both happy enough with our entrees although we felt for the price they could have been better, however what we came for, fresh oysters, were a disappointment. They were shucked improperly and were full of shell crumbs, a few of mine tasted on the verge of spoiling, likely because the oysters were served at room temperature! The were not even served on Ice, which is the number one rule of good oysters. I love seafood and this place is ok, but I certainly will be sticking with the roadhouse for oysters from now on

First time eating here, my wife & I chose Red Snapper for Valentine’s Day dinner. The place was packed, but as we had a reservation, were seated right away. I ordered the prime rib, my wife had stuffed chicken. Both were excellent, the prime rib was more of a ribeye steak, very thick, well seasoned and so tender you could cut it with a fork. Very reasonable prices too as you can each have a great appetizer, entre, 2 or 3 drinks and get out of there for around 100. Atmosphere is so-so, there’s a barfly crowd of lonely people who seem to eyeball everyone who walks in.

One of my all-time favorite restaurants ever. The crab and rib eye dish is out of control. Add a side of stuffed mushrooms, a delicious sangria, and some oysters, and I am in heaven! Man I want some seafood and steak right now. They have pretty aquariums around the place, big booth seats that are so comfortable and you can enjoy a delicious meal here peacefully. It can sometimes be a wait but I have never waited more than 10 minutes– ever. The salad bar is great too and over all the service is excellent. I am hungry now!

I was on vacation with a girlfriend in Colorado and we asked the locals where there was a good place to have seafood. All of them said we needed to go to the Red Snapper. I am glad we did. I ordered the crab and it was very tasty and so delicious and the price was very reasonable for seafood. This was a very good recommendation. I would recommend it myself. Service was great too.

Went to dinner this past Saturday night with friends and everyone truly enjoyed everything served except for a few raw oysters which were off. We started with oysters rockefeller, calamari and raw oysters along with the salad bar. We found the salad bar to be very well stocked with a variety of choices, chilled plates enhance the experience. Oysters Rockefeller and calamari were both delicious but a few raw oysters out of the half dozen were bad… sadly, they replaced with bad oysters again so just gave up on them. However, the restaurant still charged full price so a bit disappointed but not worth the battle. All dinner entrees to include a halibut special with wild rice, paella, seafood stew and steamed clams were excellent, especially the halibut which was cooked perfectly along with delicious wild rice. Service was good with an overall positive experience. Definitely would return again when in Durango!

Delicious food, great salad bar, friendly, efficient service. The blackened salmon was cooked perfectly! We enjoyed the quiet atmosphere. I highly recommend this restaurant.

The way that people gush about their salad bar you would think they have never participated in human troft-style eating. It’s a salad bar. All the enthusiasm over salad bars peaked and declined in the 80’s. Get over it. The food is alright. I have had better seafood in other places in Durango. A few times I have come here for company Holiday parties… eh. Free food is free food, right?
