    Prime rib is delicious. My husband and I shared that along with an order of the Mac & cheese. The buzz bus martini is fantastic.

    We love eating at The Roost! Their prime rib is always so good. Plus you can get Cockoos wings from downstairs. It’s a win win!

    Our 3rd visit in more than a week. Food is so good, and we try something new each time. Everyone should keep this gem on their list of best restaurants.

    The hostess gave us a warm welcome and Zeke was the BEST waiter. He was efficient, congenial, and knowledgeable. Strived to make our experience a great one. He's one of a kind and beloved by all that were lucky enough to have him be their waiter!

    Took my girlfriend here for dinner, made the mistake of eating at ska earlier in the day though. The food was so good, I had the pork chop, and fought my hardest to finish it but was defeated in the end. Prime Rib was spot on, along with the cocktails throughout the night. Cute and quiet little place, service was super friendly. Will come back again.

    Arrived about 15 minutes early (have to drive close to an hour to get there and parking always a challenge). Streets very busy as was the hostess desk. Noel night in Durango so happy we had reservations!! Seated just before our 6:00 reservation, given menus and water by hostess. Staff extremely busy and yet with helping each other (including the bartender who delivered some drinks) service was good. Dinner was again delicious. I stuck with the vegetable Wellington and my husband had prime rib. Had the dessert special after seeing the gorgeous presentation at a nearby table. Dense vanilla cake topped with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream and chocolate sauce and a side shot of homemade egg nog. Decadent and delicious. This has already become a favorite place.
