Animas Grille & Lounge - Durango, Colorado

The blackened shrimp pasta has a very unique taste but would recommend!
The NY Strip was not what i expected.
It looked good on the outside but when i was cutting and biting into it, it was chewy/rubbery.

Service was whack!
Our server was nowhere to be seen near our table most of the time and had an attitude.
I asked her to bring me an item for my meal and she comes back 10-15 minutes later with it when i was already mostly finished with my plate.

It was a one time visit for us only here.

Excellent food and service and a very old-timey atmosphere with almost every seat having used of the river with the large bay windows. Our server, Tony, was simply amazing. The cooks went out of their way to make my buffalo wings extra extra spicy. And they were just right with the amount of flavor and spice!

I wish I had all positive things to say about eating here, but the best thing about this place is the service. The wait staff and the manager during breakfast (Lucas) were lovely, and very helpful.

My hubby and I ate breakfast here twice. The first morning, I had the smoothie bowl, which is described as a strawberry smoothie mixed with yogurt, so I was expecting a consistency closer to a thick smoothie, but not aas thick as a Greek yogurt bowl. It was SOUP. Literally so watery, I wouldn't even drink it as a smoothie.
I also ordered the French toast, which was delicious, and I highly recommend it.

The manager noticed I wasn't eating the smoothie bowl and came to ask if it was okay. I told him it wasn't quite what I was expecting, but I intended to pay for it, as I had eaten some of it. He immediately said he'd take it off our bill, and if I wanted anything else to please let them know. He was understanding and kind about it, which I really appreciated. The young server came and apologized too, but I told her it wasn't her fault at all.

Both mornings my hubby had eggs, bacon and either toast or a fruit bowl. He said the eggs and bacon were good, but was disappointed that the fruit bowl was only pineapple and cantaloupe.

The second morning I ordered the Continental, which comes with yogurt, a muffin, and a fruit bowl. I had the banana nut muffin, which was warm and delicious. The yogurt, however, ws a tiny kids strawberry banana Yoplait that had so much sugar, being pre-diabetic, I couldn't eat on top of the muffin. Again, the fruit bowl was just pineapple and cantaloupe.

This is a very nice restaurant, with nice restaurant prices (to be fair, the continental breakfast is only $11), but I feel like the healthy breakfast options were made as cheaply as possible. As a nice restaurant, they could spring for real plain Greek yogurt, with fresh berries for a nice parfait. And for the continental, fresh mixed berries, and a adult sized greek yogurt.

The atmosphere is nice enough, though still rather hotel-plain. If the decor was a little more Durango-esque, that would be perfect.

The atmosphere feels like it has had its heyday. Our tabletop was scratched and scuffed and old, like from decades ago, and it was noticeable while eating. A placemat would have neutralized the unfortunate visual.

The fish and chips were very tasty, and I liked the waffle fries. I ordered a side salad which was nicely done. The burger was presented beautifully, but was well done instead of medium.

The service was excellent.

Individuals scattered about doing paperwork was tacky.

I absolutely enjoyed everything! Came to Durango from San Antonio and my family(wife and 2 kids) always order different main dishes so we can share with eacho other to get a variety. I enjoyed the NY strip, the double cheese burger, and the Buffalo wings. Everything was excellent!! Service was awesome. Oh, the old fashions are top notch.. Tony made the drinks and they were excellent. .. Jen was our server and we were treated with care and professionalism. Great environment. It snowed today and the fire heaters on the patio were nice to relax next to after our meal.. A gotta try if you come to Durango Colorado.

The breakfast is not bad, it’s not amazing either. For sit to order food I expected a higher level of food. We had the huevos rancheros and biscuits and gravy. There is not a lot of seating here so prepare for a 20 minute wait. They’re bare is small and very on them with the hotel. The draft beer is good and served in a chilled glass.

I am a Flight Attendant and every time that I find myself with a long overnight in Chihuahua, I am filled with such HAPPY anticipation! This restaurant and bar is my FAVORITE place to visit.....great food, fantastic drinks, and quite possibly they offer the very BEST Guacamole on the planet! The staff is beyond AMAZING, very professional and welcoming!

Our first time here. We had a beautiful evening view of the river. Atmosphere was great along with the service. Food was good but we only had an appetizer and salad. I would return.
