James Ranch Grill Menu – Durango, CO

Type : Organic restaurant

Location : Durango, CO

Beyond farm to table, the James Ranch Grill is table on the farm by sourcing its main regenerative ingredients from the James Ranch itself. Our cattle feed only on the green grass of our 400 acre ranch making our beef packed with flavor and our cheese golden and rich. Our chickens are pasture raised eating grass and grasshoppers resulting in egg yolks the color of a sunset. Our pigs forage on roots, grass, and legumes as well as are fed the whey from our cheese-making processes making our pork tender and flavorful.

Based on 681 reviews, the restaurant has received a rating of 4.7 stars. Price $$

The lady that was cleaning up the tables outside was so friendly. The view was just stunning. The service was amazing too! We got the fries which were amazing and seasoned well. You can even go on a little scavenger hunt/trail around the ranch. Overall, this was such a beautiful place. The market was also really cool. Such a charming place, I will definitely be coming back again!

Again, we were advised to try James Ranch Grill by a new friend. We had the signature burger as advised by our order taker. We added unique tasting slaw and fries as sides. I’m glad we took both pieces of advice. The food, service, and atmosphere were good, It was a busy period the employees we encountered handled well. When asked, each favorite was accepted and turned out to be good. Will stop in again and would recommend you give them a try.

We’ve been here twice now and it was awesome both times. The staff is friendly and the food is great. There’s walking paths, animals, beautiful views, signage to help you learn the history of the ranch, dining inside and out, and a great area for kids to play. We love it here and always recommend it to others.

This place is a 10/10 for atmosphere. You can walk around the property, see beautiful Mountain View’s, watch the river flow, and interact with goats. You can see cows and chickens free roaming. There is a large grass area for kids to run around. The rose was refreshing and local beer was available. The burgers were high quality they only reason they are a 4/5 was they were over cooked. It gets busy so make sure you have plenty of time to eat. We will be back again to enjoy the beautiful views and good food!

OVER . . . RATED. Went there for lunch. Only one person taking orders. What . . . the kitchen could not keep up with two people taking orders? Lots of staff around but they were not too busy.

While visiting family in Durango they recommended we have lunch at James Ranch. Love the openness and lots of outdoor seating. The line to order can get a bit long so make sure you’re not in a hurry. I tried the mushroom Belford burger because it had been described to me as a disc of crispy cheese with mushrooms in it…laid upon the burger. I love me some crispy cheese so I was all in. It was delicious! Not giving a 5 star because I ordered my burger medium well and it was way closer to medium to medium rare. They carry a local soda brand so that was fun to try. My son waited in line to get me a cookie but it was pretty long so I told him never mind. We were happy to find the cookies also available in the small produce store at the front of the building.

Had kale salad, beet salad and the Signature burger, with some fries. Salads were pretty good, however, my fried egg came out refrigerated-cold, which was a disappointment. The rest are decent.

Amazing! Second time my family has been and is just as incredible as the first. It is definitely becoming a must stop for our yearly vacations! Best burgers hands down!

This place is absolutely beautiful! It is a super cool place to eat my only compliant is how burnt the bun was on my gluten free sandwich. My husband got the gluten version and had a nice fluffy bun. They did have a vegetarian Squash burger that was pretty yummy, the fries were definitely the star of the show and you could tell they were homemade ❤️. They had two precious goats you could love on as well that were absolute sweethearts. All the animals were very well taken care of!
