DURANGO LODGE
Restaurant Review
Reviewed: 6/25/99

Great place for a drink after a busy day! Durango Lodge has a little bit for everyone. They always greet each visitor with a smile and a welcome. If your interested in some slot play or just watching the game, try sitting at the bar. Or if you prefer a little more privacy, you can sit by the roaring fire beneath the large moose head. Just in for a quick bite? Walk into the small dining area and grab a seat. You'll be pleasantly surprised no matter where you decide to sit.

This restaurant is the perfect stop for a small bite to eat. They offer a good selection of appetizers, hot and cold sandwiches and a few dinners. My favorite, the Chicken Salad Sandwich is prepared with fresh broiled chicken chucks in creamy mayo topped with ripened tomatoes, crisp lettuce on toasted wheat (or your choice of bread). You get a choice of french fries, potato salad, cole slaw or chips with every sandwich. Their specialty chicken fingers called, Durgango Fingers, put all other chicken fingers to shame. Huge pieces of white meat chicken breaded in a beer batter and deep fried, served with a side of ranch or bleu cheese dressing. Appetizers like potato skins, cheese sticks or jalapeno poppers are wonderful snacks along with your favorite libation.

The atmosphere is like a mountain retreat. Deer antler chandeliers, stuffed wildlife, rough hewn tables and cozy chairs make this place a fun getaway. The service is great and very quick. The prices are down right inexpensive.
