The Olde Tymer's Cafe

One trip here was enough, for me.  Sat on the patio, drinks took approximately five hours apiece to make their way to our table, waitress once looked RIGHT at me motioning her to our table and kept walking.  They were out of the one dish I wanted to try, and what I ended up getting instead was just .... meh.  As was the gut ache I got shortly after THAT.

Too many great patio bars/grills in Durango to give this one another go.  I bumped it up from one star to two because the patio has a nice vibe after dark.

We were greeted with a smile and seating was a breeze, it was simply the ordering and delivery of food that was sub par.  

A few of us were planning on ordering the fish and chips, but they happened to be out (and unfortunately our waitress never thought to mention it...) so when we went to order it, we were QUITE disappointed. no fish. "oh but we have the batter" ah, thank you!

I started by ordering a beer, and it took around 15 minutes to get to my table...

Then grandma ordered a margarita, and it took at least 25 minutes.   This might have been passable had the restaurant been packed, but it was maybe half full.
We were verbally unhappy about how long things were taking, and nothing was done to fix the problem (maybe comp the margarita... or the beer... or SOMEthing...)

It's a classic traditional diner with some slow, slow service.

Try the wings! This is a fantastic, laid back restaurant that epitomizes the local Durango flavor.
