Pick the neighborhood before the restaurant. Main Avenue's 600 to 1100 blocks hold Fired Up Pizzeria at 735, 636 Main Ave, Durango Diner at 957, Himalayan Kitchen at 992 and 11th Street Station at 1101. Steamworks sits on East Second Avenue, at 801.
Head south and you reach Camino del Rio, where Zia Taqueria and Serious Texas BBQ have easy parking. North on Main, Durango Doughworks at 2653 is a casual stop on the way out of town.
Look at the rating and the review count together. The Pub Durango shows 4.9 stars across 13 reviews, which is encouraging but thin. Durango Diner shows 4.5 across 1,417, which tells you far more about consistency. Then confirm hours on the restaurant's own site before you drive, since seasonal schedules shift.
On summer weekends and ski-season Saturdays, book the sit-down rooms. Pizza, tacos and brewpubs usually take walk-ins if you avoid the 6 to 8 p.m. rush. Kitchens also trim their hours between seasons, so call or check the listing's website first.
It depends on the meal. For a classic breakfast, Durango Diner. For a group dinner with beer, Steamworks. For Nepali and Indian dishes, Himalayan Kitchen.
Walk north up Main Avenue from the depot and the main run of restaurants starts within several blocks. That makes breakfast before an early departure easy.
Himalayan Kitchen is the usual answer for meat-free depth, and taquerias handle bean-and-cheese orders easily. For eight or more, a brewpub like Steamworks or Carver absorbs the table better than a small Main Avenue dining room.
Many patios allow dogs in season, but policies vary, so ask before you sit.
