I have been coming to this restaraunt since I was a little kid, knew the original owner Terry Sweeney who passed away about 2 years ago...great guy and he also built himself with some help from friends. It's simply an awesome place that you will never see anywhere else. I read a couple negative reviews and just laughed while reading... more

I look forward to eating Sweeney's everytime I am in Durango. The prime rib is great and so are the steaks. The cabiny feel with the funky eclectic decor is great too! Cant wait to go again! more

Sweeney's is one of our favorite restaurants in Durango. The price of the meal includes everything except desert, so the total price is comparable to other better restaurants' prices. The food is excellent, and there's something on the menu for just about anyone's taste. The building is unique and attractive; the ambiance is wonderful! The waitstaff is very good: friendly... more

My husband and I were married five years ago and knew exactly where our reception had to be; our favorite restaurant in Durango, AKA Sweeney's!! We have dined there several times and the food is always amazing and the staff are warm and very efficient. Our favorites; the crispy duck with bing-cherry sauce, and the prime rib! You just can't... more

We'd heard good things about Sweeney's but we had a terrible experience on a recent Saturday night. Our out of town guest ordered the grilled shrimp which arrived tasting like chlorine. My husband tasted a shrimp, spit it out, said it was rotten and had a horrid taste. His surf and turf was most mediocre. I ordered halibit which came... more

Mmmmm, I love Sweeney's. I've lived in Durango for 19 years and Sweeney's is one of my favorite and top choice places to go. We always take our friends or family that are visiting there and they have also all enjoyed it. The people are friendly, the place is very clean, and the food is awesome. I've tried many different... more

Not worth the price. The food was just decent. Everything was pretty bland. Definitely not something to write home about. The huge salad and homemade dressings were nice. And the building itself was pretty cool, but it just wasn't worth the cost of the meal. more

My husband and I always love to stop by Sweeney's whenever we visit Durango! First off the atmosphere is charming as you enter the rustic cedar lodge-like building and then as you decend to the lower level it is almost as if you are entering a cave. The wait staff are always very friendly and the food is always very... more

homemade salad dressing, atmosphere, and wait staff are the only positives we experienced. Visited restaurant three times over many years and never thought the food was worth the cost. more

The desk clerk at our motel recommended Sweeney's and we are so glad he did. What an outstanding place. Wonderful, attentive service. Fantastic food. We will definitely return for another meal there. more
