We love coming to highway 3 for raw oysters and a unique menu you can’t compare to anywhere else in town. Love the relaxed atmosphere and service is always great. Just wish they were open all week long! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

The owner is rude, and replies like a petty child to customer reviews. It doesn't take a restaurant critic to know what a BAD Oyster tastes like. Not Cajun. Definitely not. 🤮 👎 Their Oysters taste like pure mud. I have never ever eaten an Oyster that taste like a mud puddle. Oysters taste like the ocean. I'm so glad I only ordered the 6, all six were gross. I will never order those again. The quality was soo poor I don't trust to ever order their Oysters again. The tacos were the smallest baby sized street tacos I've ever seen. The slaw tasted like pure white vinegar. And there was only 4 little jalf inch cubes of fish..what a let down. I ate the fish but the vinegar made the rest of the tacos absolutely inedible. 🤮 Martinis were served to my table still in the shaker.. that's not ideal. Additional time just sitting in the shaker ice just over dilutes the cocktail. The waitress seemed genuinely confused by me ordering a Gin Martini. Sorry. It's a classic standard cocktail. It has been a thing for well over a hundred years. She asked me three or four times if I meant to order a Dirty Martini. I answered No each time. And by the last time I was pretty confused why she kept asking me. I tried to politely say, "No. I would like a standard Gin Martini. I'd like Beefeater Dry London Gin with Dry Vermouth over Ice. NO olive brine please. If olive brine is added that's what's called a "Dirty"-Martini. The gf crab cake was just ok. Unfortunately it was the best dish I would get for my dinner. The staff was good. They were attentative to refill water and take empty plates. The location feels very hidden at best. I'm not able to see it from the road and I didnt notice a sign or indicator where to park or where the entrance was..It took a few minutes to wonder around and find. Made me think Google maps had given me wrong directions. I don't expect you to move the building, im not saying you need Vegas lights..but a couple of signs would save soo many visitors from the confusion. They may just eat elsewhere if they have to search for a restaurant. I almost couldn't find the place. This is one of the very few places IN Durango that any local has recommended for dining to us. I was very excited to get some comfort food and have a great date nite. I fail to understand the experience. We won't be back. I'm convinced there's nothing good to eat in Durango, except for my house. Meal type Dinner Price per person $100+ Food: 1 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 3
Such an odd experience. Food was MID ordered chicken fried steak and Mac n cheese with chicken and “green chile” (average) wouldn’t recommend. Food: 2 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 1

We ordered 1 dozen fresh oysters that were served with many shell fragments in each one, then we ordered the lobster roll. Needless to say this wasn't the best either There was a seasoning added to the lobster that took away from the taste of the lobster itself. We have dined here many times but this is the last! The cost of the meal did not equal the quality of the food. Food: 1 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4
I didn’t get the experience of food, service and atmosphere. We were traveling and stopped in Durango. I. Used to live there and was really looking forward to eating out at a place that would be a little elevated and unusual. We did the usual lookup on the internet and we saw this place and wanted to try it. We called ahead to make reservations and were told that since it was only two of we wouldn’t need reservations and that they weren’t busy. We did have a hard time finding it just like the review said it was after dark and raining, not ideal when you are trying to find a hidden gem. When we finally found it, it took us a while to park. Not much room in their lot for a full sized truck. We were happy to get there (around 7:30 pm) and looking forward to having a good dinner. We were met at the door with a gal who was holding a piece of paper saying they were closed. My husband explained that we were from out of town, the difficulties we had finding the place, and that his wife (me) was looking forward to a nice meal and dining out experience. The were obviously serving people because we saw other patrons inside. She told us that they didn’t have enough servers and/or staff to accommodate us. For two people, REALLY? So, my nice date night with dinner on the town ended up at Applebees. Yeehaw! (Not that Applebees wasn’t OK). But thanks Roadhouse, I had a great experience!
