Durango's Saloon

This is a great little place in Boyertown. I agree that the decor is a bit odd but the food was really good and the selection of craft beers really good. Had the Pierogies for an app. They were not fried, just awesome swimming in butter and onions. The burgers and cheesesteaks super too. Well worth a stop in Boyertown.

I'm sort of stuck between a three and a four here but I'll go with four.

Friend and I have been wanting to try this since she moved to Boyertown a couple of years ago but finally got around to it this weekend.

There's a lot to comment on but let me just list the pros and cons and go from there.

Pros:

The food is very good. Super, super-juicy steaks. I had the prime rib and friend had the Delmonico and both were cooked perfectly and so juicy. Portions are also well-worth the price. We both did the combo which, for about $24, is a selection of various steak cuts to be paired with either shrimp, Dungeness crab legs and two others (I think a crab cake might be one but not sure.) I got the crab legs and friend go the shrimp. Crab legs were a little dried out but I realize Dungeness crabs tend to lose moisture a lot more quickly that Snow or King crab. My friend liked the shrimp.

Veggie and french fries came as a side and both were delicious.

Cons:

Really bizarre decor and uncomfortable tables. I don't usually care about decor that much but this was jarring in its strangeness. Think mermaids meet the Wild West meet a redneck bar in Georgia, and all together at the same time. And the tables and chairs are sort of just crowded into a small space and once you are seated, forget about moving if the tables next to you are occupied. You are packed in for the remainder.

Service was pleasant but we were rushed to finish our dinners. Granted, we came in during the last hour of full kitchen service but, hey, we just spent almost $75 on our entrees and drinks....at least give us the courtesy of asking if we might want coffee or a dessert. I wouldn't have cared as much if I didn't see that the kitchen was still open for late night, partial-menu service. Instead, we were given our check as soon as we put down our forks and never asked if we might want anything else.

Anyway, if you're down for a good steak, this place will not disappoint. But don't get your hopes up for a charming historical or romantic atmosphere. And be sure to go at least two hours before the kitchen plans on closing should you possibly desire a cup of coffee or some dessert as when they get near the close of the kitchen, it is CLOSED.

A nice selection of beers and a very eclectic environment.. Awesome french fries.  Pasta Specials on Mondays. great burgers too. The bar is separate from the dinning room, so bar noise does not interfere with dinner, but dinner guests can not watch the game if that is what they would like to do.
