Highway 3 Roadhouse Oyster - Durango

The food here was top notch! The staff was friendly and responded to my needs quickly. Oysters were notch but left me wanting more. So I ordered the seafood jambalaya and was very pleased. I wish the hours were longer but this place did not disappoint! Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4

I’m from New Orleans. So I had to try the only Cajun/Creole restaurant in Durango. Well I was highly disappointed. The first day I came I couldn’t make a togo order bc they only take them from 4pm to 5pm. I got there at 5:02 and they told me Togo orders stop at 5. Ok, I respect it. I was late. I came the next day and got my Togo order. I spent $160 with the tip. I ordered the catfish platter 29.95. The alligator bites 19.95. The coconut shrimp 18.95. 2 of the Cajun salads 19.95. And an order of crawfish etouffee which was 19.95. Ok, here’s my problem. The FOUR coconut shrimp that u get for 19.95 was burnt. The alligator bites were over cooked so they were tough and chewy with no flavor. You can’t over cook gator tail or it won’t be any good. I cook it often so I know. The catfish was horrible. They need to change the frying oil they are using and the catfish was dry. It says catfish fingers but what they did was take a fillet and cut it in half. Catfish is one of the cheaper fish. There’s no reason it should cost $30 for 2 catfish fingers, some over cooked steak and shake fries, and some coleslaw. Now the coleslaw wasn’t horrible but it wasn’t great. Onto the etouffee! Coming from someone that cooks etouffee on a regular basis this was horrible. Absolutely no seasoning. The most plain Jane etouffee I’ve ever had in my life. And they put your etouffee in a cardboard togo box on top of rice so hurry home and eat before it gets the box soggy. One last thing.I guess they make their ranch “in house”. Well it was the most horrible ranch I ever tasted in my life. The salad would have been good if I would have used the hidden valley in the fridge, but I didn’t. Horrible experience. I will not be back. I might actually make some etouffee and gumbo and take it up there and let them try it so they know what it’s supposed to taste like, along with some gator tail. If I could post 0 stars I would.

I love the authentic Cajun food. They use high quality ingredients. They run a more unconventional restaurant in the sense of their hours and other rules. However it works! They’ve become a special place in our town. Highly recommend trying them out. The menu is so diverse that there’ll be something everyone can like. They’re well known for their oysters. The oysters come with all the fixings needed. The staff are very friendly and helpful as well.

Fun atmosphere, tasty drinks, and fabulous food! It ain't cheap but it's worth every penny. We LOVE this place Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $30–50 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Oysters on the Half Shell, Shrimp Plate

The appetizer was great but the catfish and crab was a waste of money. Food: 3 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
