Purgy's Restaurant

"We all had different items from the menu for dinner on a weekday night and really enjoyed all the food. We normally travel for food but didn't expect much from the only place open for dinner ON the mountain. The French onion soup was great! The gruyere cheese was perfect the temperature could have been hotter. The elk sliders were fantastic. The cheeseburger was surprisingly the most expensive thing we ordered but it and the fries were great. My wife had a salmon Caesar salad and the salmon was better than great. The salmon filet was really the highlight of the night. Service was fantastic, both servers checked on us plenty. I don't understand all the negative reviews but I would recommend Purgys."

"It took 1 1/2 hours to get our food and it wasn’t even busy. The food was average at best. The manager offered us free dessert because it took so long. We had 6 people, 4 of them kids, and no one ate their dessert because they were so bad. To top it off they tried to change us for the dessert. The entire experience cost us $300 and 3 hours of our life. Just wow."

"If you are staying at Purgatory Lodge and are considering to eat at the “Durango Mountain Club” do yourself a favor and bring your own food or eat elsewhere. It took an hour and a half for our food to arrive and it was so so. The manager offered us free dessert given the long wait, but what we got was planing disgusting. You could not even break the “skillet” cookies that did not come in a skillet and the cheese cake did not deserve the titled. Most interestingly the waitress was not filled in, even though she was right there when the manager offered free desert and she needed to redo our bill. On a positive note, the bartender was super fun, but the drinks are nothing to write home about."

"This is a very good place for a meal especially after skiing a half day or a whole day. The dinner service is very good. The food is also good. The price is not bad compared to other ski resort."

"Purgys is the on site restaurant at the purgatory resort. We were there in the summer and had bought the activity pass. We stopped halfway through the day for lunch. The main building was closed but it wasn't super clear so people kept trying to go inside. People were also unsure how to order. We eventually 3.the order at the bar. The bartender was super nice and made some good food recommendations as well as a beer recommendation. We got two regular burgers, a barbecue burger, and chicken strips. The food was well made, especially the burgers. We were pretty surprised, especially considering this is a ski resort restaurant. They were very tasty, and well-dressed. The meat was a little overdone but that's fine. The meal was quite pricey, over $100 for the four meals, two Cokes, and the beer. So, that was the only downside. Overall it was a solid lunch so if you're at Purgatory, don't hesitate to grab some food at Purgys."
