Loved the pulled pork sandwich with the cherry chipotle! Stopped back two more times during our nine day stay....great after a long day hiking! Turkey and brisket were also winners! More

We love smoky barbecue, and Serious Texas Barbecue did not disappoint! I had pulled pork and hubby had a combination. He said all was good but he really enjoyed the sausage. I liked the cherry chipotle sauce and thought the cole slaw was very good, as well. It had a bit of a spicy kick that I liked. Fried okra... More

We ate at the north location, had great brisket, pretty good pork. Also liked the pinto beans. The only real disappointment was the cherry chipotle sauce they tout (which didn't really taste like either), however that had no real impact on our meal as they have a normal and a hot bbq sauce as well. Good smoke flavor on both... More

The south store has a patio that overlooks the Animas River. The Texas Taco is the best deal in town and don't forget the lemon pie. More

They smoke their meats all day... Great for meat lovers, but vegetarians don't bother. BEST smoked meats in town! Fast food type, order at the counter and sit down. STB south in Bodo has the best deck over looking the river. More

The local favorite BBQ Taco is what I had. It was really good. I did taste the smoked turkey and it was wonderful. They also had their "loaded" baked potatos when we were there. It looked really good and someone in our party had it and said it was really good. More

I was glad to try this Durango favorite on our last trip. We found the food lived up to our native Texan expectations - good brisket, good sausage, good sides, good atmosphere. It's not the absolute best I've ever had, but there is no restaurant that can compare to my in-laws' fantastic slow-cooked fare so when we're in Durango we'll... More
